Thank you It was handheld at 1/40th using the Zeiss ZE 35 1.4 @f13 on a 1DIV. I attribute the detail to the Zeiss...incredible lens!!

when you went to the Galapagos Islands, which travel agent did you use?

Gregg,

I book most of my adventures with Exodus, and I have never been disappointed. I'm in the UK, so I haven't heard of your friend's company, but I wish I had his job!

Joel... I thought you had the 300 2.8...very nice!! One of my customers has the 200 2.0 that he said he'll let me borrow...been jonesin' pretty bad for it, too!!


Joel...that's an awfully long way to go to shoot Iguanas...!! Just kidding....


Cheers,


Gregg

It's a breathtaking shot! The kind of thing I'd want on my wall. There seems to be a bit of colour banding in the sky though -is thatjust an artifact of squeezing it onto a webpage?

w349...WOW...thank you for the comment!! I exported the photo from LR3.4 into CS5...did my usual post to it in color, then decided to do BW on it, so I copied the image via CS5. But in doing the copy command, I created a different file. The original went back to LR when I was done, but the BW had to be saved as s tiff, then re imported back into LR. Then...sorry...I have a resize action via windows that brings images to a more normal size for viewing, and that , I think, is where the banding came to be!! Whew...so to answer you question...yes!!
