Sunset, again!?

Sunset is a problematic scene for a photographer. Every sunset is different, but still every photographer has seen too much sunset pictures. I like sunsets, every time, but I rarely photograph those. I have so many sunset pictures that I should not have a need to photograph those anymore.
But I do and I like it. This time I luckily had J1+18.5mm with me.

Normal beautiful sunset.

Nikon 1 in Scotland, Part 2

In the first part I just demonstrated a little bit possibilities of a RAW image. Here I will show some more images, a lot more.

I didn't use much the 10-30mm lens. I have got used to use prime lenses on D800 so I like to use those on Nikon 1 cameras also. I think if I would have used the zoom more, images could have been better on some cases.
Most of the time I had 10mm or 18.5mm lens on J1 and 30-110 telezoom on V1. Telezoom was on V1 because it is much easier to use with viewfinder.

 

 

Nikon 1 in Scotland, part 1

Last 10 days I spent in Scotland on a holiday. My main priority wasn't photographing so my small camera set J1/V1 were used quite much.

I will go those images through in next weeks, but here is one nice little example about the dynamic range of J1 image developed in Lightroom 4.

First the original.

And here is the adjusted version like I saw it with my own eyes. GND filter couldn't be used ( and I normally don't carry one with me ), but with correct exposure the dynamic range is enough.

Are you suprised?
