Tree Carving

This is an interesting tree carving shot across the Buffalo River. D7100 with 28-85 AF D at 85mm in the 1.3 crop mode. Approximately 170mm equivalent. Download to view.

I don't know, it looks kind of cheesy to me. Anyway, the camera did a good job. You could get rid of the barbed wire fence and it also looks like you can enlarge it and crop it tighter in post so as to get rid of the other stuff. This would make it a really nice snapshot.

Agree with Tom, the subject is too small in the frame with too much background clutter that adds nothing to the shot. It is also right in the middle of the frame, which in this case makes a boring composition. I too think you could massage this some in post and create a nicer shot.
Keep shooting, it's how we all learned!

This image was to see how the camera performed and that is why I posted it. However, here is a real stretch. Cropped sensor, shot in 1.3 crop mode, an image cropped.

O.k., I see. Well, like I said, the camera is performing well. I also see your point; if you try to enlarge it any more, you will lose it. I am also glad that you knew I wasn't trying to be insulting, but more curious. Thank you for obliging me.This image was to see how the camera performed and that is why I posted it.

I am glad you understand what I was doing Tainkc. On the other hand the camera did a very good job producing acceptable images way outside of the box. It makes that old 28-85 a 42-170 with the 1.3 crop mode. Not a bad walk around lens at a very low price.

That was (besides the stupid totem pole, lol) the first thing I checked out in your photo. When I super sized the download, I said to myself "hmm... Very good!". I immediately saw that there was room to play with when enlarging and cropping without damaging the image in anyway. This, to me, tells me that you nailed a very good combo - and for the right price. A lot of people miss this connection when buying equipment. In your case, it also allows for more freedom and flexibility. I am glad you understand what I was doing Tainkc.

Tom, I've been with Nikon since 1964 and have quite a collection of Nikkor lenses. Even with the primes the 1.3 crop factor gives you two options with one lens.....a 50mm becomes a 75 or 100mm and so on. I use all FX glass leaving the option for a full frame body open.

I have the same results with my Sony A mount camera. I had all sorts of Minolta lenses, so I went with Sony because they originally stayed with the A mount when they bought the Minolta tooling. This saved me a ton of money if I had changed to another brand. The results so far have been superb.Tom, I've been with Nikon since 1964 and have quite a collection of Nikkor lenses.
