D800 image I almost like
May 13, 2012 15:52:49 #
Finally shot something I liked.
It printed very nicely at 12x15 on a Canon Pro 1. First good print on it using Canson Baryta 310 GSM. The print looks just like my screen, imagine that!
Shot handheld, next time I am using a tripod. Most likely tomorrow .
5x4 format, portrait mode, jpg color and raw. This is the PS 5.1 B&W conversion with heavy filter usage. No EV change, very little sharpening, no burn or dodge.
Even though it was bright I think I still got shake and maybe diffusion.
I am just happy a print looks good!

It does look good, reminds me somewhat of the negative print development I used to do in my film days. :thumbup:

Thanks Bruce. My goal was to make it look old.

Very nice Randy!
Only thing I would like to see in it would be calmer water for a cleaner reflection. Doesn't the D800 have a "Wind Stop" setting you can dial in? LOL

MT and the trees were moving.
Maybe I will camp out and wait a few weeks for the perfect conditions.
Not likely in one of the busiest parks in Chicago.
Right now I am trying to figure out how to carry a tripod on my scooter. This new scooter is too smooth with no place to strap anything.
I have been considering a small bicycle trailer so I can haul a 8x10 to the parks.

What direction are you facing for this shot? If Northerly maybe a shortly after sunrise shot would work, less wind generally.
There are also carrying straps for tripods that work well, two of my Bogens came with them. Maybe even a modified rifle scabbard mounted on your front end would work! (Might even make other drivers give you the right of way!)

I'm excited to know someone who has shot the D800... do you see a big improvement in image quality? In other words i want to but should i invest in one?

I was facing North east at 10 AM. I do need a tripod and a hood at that time of day. I plan to shoot it again with the D800 and a Field Horseman 4x5 HD.
I really hate carrying backpacks, but you are right, a sling is a good idea. The cameras fit under the seat. Calumet is not far and they seem to have a lot of tripods.
As you can see this thing is kinda swoopy.

I see what you mean, not exactly built for cargo is it. Maybe you need a Big Ruckus model! LOL Too bad they quit making them.

Well, I don't know if you should, but I do find it a great camera. I don't shoot fast enough for the big files to be a problem.
I do think it is a step backward from the D7000 in terms of ease of use and control of settings.
The D7000 is one great camera.
I have not shot them side by side. Yet.

The ruckus has a problem in that the gang bangers like them and heavily modify them. They put 600cc engines in the little one.
Thus they are often stolen. Mine is a 125cc which I hope they consider too small an engine to steal.
It is real easy to pull the entire drive train out of a scooter and fit it onto another one. Too easy!

Very nice image. I keep telling myself I will never replace my D 300 but it gets tougher all the time.
