This is the 24-105 ? The contrast and colours are very nice. The sky has a really nice blue. Most of my pictures are directly from the CF card. The homepage I showed you is quite good for comparing lenses.

Faintlightofdawn, on July 29, 2008, said:

Hi Digga, yes, this is from the 24-105 from a 5D, yeah, I was surprised by the colour. But the light fall off is quite significant. Best wishes, Fai

Very beautiful picture with great colors and reflection. The sharpness and details are superb. I allso have a 24-105 - now I only need a fullframe ;o)

Kind regards.

Faintlightofdawn, on August 3, 2008, said:

Glad you checked this one out Finn! I really like it, but I wish the light fall off at the corners was as a result of post processing instead. Full frame is nice if you are not shooting animals, shame it's not my camera! ;) Fai

Pierre François, on August 22, 2008, said:

This picture is very impressive,and it look likes a painted frame. Reflections in water are sumptuous.

Thank you for my picture,my friend. I shot with a Eos 40D,and a 17-85mm 4-5.6 IS USM,and sometimes,with a Sigma 17-70mm 2.8-4.5 DC Macro.

Congratulations for this shot Greetings from Nice,France

Faintlightofdawn, on August 22, 2008, said:

Thanks Pierre for your visit and answering me! Best wishes, Fai

Pierre François, on August 23, 2008, said:

just a question: hushed up accomplished whizz a photograph HDR, or hushed up accomplished whizz the photograph in " one shot, one kill "? because the detail is really amazing,the saturated, shimmering colors, looks like a perfect postcard. what lens do you used,to shot this marvellous picture (and also, do you used some filters)?

Faintlightofdawn, on August 23, 2008, said:

Hi Pierre, one shot one kill, no post processing on this one! I don't have any advianced post processing software. The dimensions might have needed to be reduced so it was less than 5 megs. This was shot with a 5D (hence the slightly better detail) using the 24-105L IS, with only a UV filter. I was pretty impressed as well, I think as good as my polarised 40D shots.

Best wishes, Fai

Quando il pittore si fa fotografo... Per mio conto preferisco gli IMPRESSIONISTI ai NATURALISTI.

Ciao da genova.

English Translate: The painter compete the photographer ... but I prefer the paint impressionist to naturalist.

Thanks Pier Luigi, I find understanding photos a little easier :) Fai

Scally, on December 10, 2008, said:

Has no one complained to the Council about those two ruddy great coal Barges parked in front of the Public Park,in is a disgrace leaving them there for the sole purpose of creating reflections for amateur cameras, even when most times you can,t see across the river for mist, fog, and rain.

Faintlightofdawn, on December 10, 2008, said:

Scally, I think the UMCs who live there like that sort of thing, plus, they have not sunk yet!!!
