It helps inspire me so much to go somewhere new, or in this case somewhere I have not been for quite a while. So many interesting things caught my eye on this trip to Galveston. I really wanted to take some images with my new-ish camera and this time I had the 70 - 200mm lens on. Other than a drive down to East Beach right after Ike hit, I haven't been on that end of the island in a long time. I don't know that I have ever gone to the beach in January either. When I saw these fenceposts with only grass and sky surrounding them, I thought of a photo club assignment coming up of Less is More, or basically Minimalism. They would also fit for Get Rhythm, or repeating elements so I wonder which is a better fit? I noticed that the 70 - 200mm lens seems to be vignetting sometimes on the D700, and that is not something I ever had using it on the D200.
But I like it.

I like the color version. It gives me more details to consider. Perhaps for a theme of "less is more", you should remove most details?
ReplyDeleteI think you should get rid of the bland sky altogether and focus on the grasses and markers.
ReplyDeleteDid you have any kind of filter on the lens? I know my full frame catches filter edges unless it's one of the thin profile ones.
Another thing. Quit whining about what your old camera did. You have a much better piece of gear than before. You just need to get used to what it can do for you.
ReplyDeleteI did not mean to appear like I was complaining about my D200, just the opposite --- I am surprised that it seems fine with my big lens and yet the latest camera vignettes with it. I do have UV haze filters on most of my lenses, the 70 - 200mm included, and they are probably not the thinnest ones available. It seems to vignette no matter what focal length I am zoomed in or out. I also have the hood on, maybe it is not turned correctly.
ReplyDeleteNo, you were complaining about the D700. That's the one I said to quit whining about. It's a better camera.
ReplyDeleteI think you need to take the UV filter off of the full frame and try it without it. See if that solves your problem with the vignetting.
