milkmaid

C&C are welcome. Enjoy!

wonder under what circumstances is this shot? is that a real milkmaid, still dressed like this in this times?

 

[zoossh]

help you with one pic missed.

pic 1 & 3 just need to correct the tilt. i like pic 3 for the reflection
pic 2 is good but watch blown highlight.

the horseman is weaker in terms of composition. flat on and snappish. if given a chance to move, consider going near with wide angle to catch an alternative perspective.

Hi Zoosh,

Thanks for the critique. I agree with you on the horseman. I cropped this pic to remove those elements not needed, e.g. people also watching the museum. That probably caused a weak composition.

Also, Milkmaid is a museum staff. The shot is inside an open air museum that depicts an old danish town. That's the reason she's still dressed like that.

glorious weather! i'd prefer not to cut off the feet of the milkmaid...

lovely shot, the colors especially are fantastic, looks like a good place for holiday

 

[RodelFMiguel]

Thanks Djork & Fisheye!!!

@Djork. Ok, I'll note the feet to be included if I get opportunities for other similar shots!

@Fisheye. Yup, good place for holiday especially on Summer! You get ~20 hour daytime... Hee hee, its hard to sleep though if you have thin curtains...

unless you can accomdate a shorter focal length in your lens, you need to step backwards provided you are not blocked by a wall. if neither way is possible, i would consider your take as acceptable. just remember things are not always possible by techiques, tools are also important too. which is why the 2mm difference between a 10-20mm and a 12-24mm can make a bigger difference than what we think....

Now I remember, this is the best I can do during this shoot, there's a wall and I used a kit lens at the min focal length I can achieve, i.e. 18mm. BTW, I am now searching for a proper wide angle lens, by proper, I mean nice price, big aperture, and really wide... Any recommendations?

Big aperture? Why big aperture? :bigeyes:

There's only so wide you can get before it becomes a fish eye.. Not everyone's into the FE distortion though. =D

18mm is already wide. below that should be considered as ultra-wide. aperture size for ultrawide angle usually starts from f/4.

think there is a few magazine covering that, ken rockwell and nikonian.org also got a good article - but that is for nikon mount ie nikon & fujifilm. i'm not sure of canon, olympus-panasonic, sony-KM & pentax.

for nikon, there is nikon, tamron, sigma, tokina lens. nikon 12-24mm have the best optical quality at double the price (ok, do check it out though, i may not be sure how much more ex). tokina have the best build. sigma got the most wide angle.

sigma got two wide models. one is 10-20, another i think is 11 or 12 onwards. do take note.

prices should be $800 onwards.

10-20 and 12-24.

Tokina also has a 12-24, IIRC, but not quite good, based on reviews I've seen.

Hi Zoossh & Night86mare

Thanks for the recommendations! I'll take note of these. Also, there are CS guys selling the items you suggested... hee hee, worth considering.

@Nightmare, sometimes, if you do portrait shots, you may consider wide angle big aperture for ambient lighting plus more background. Got that tip from some magazine.

Ah, I've seen that before, to show the setting of people, yes?

People not my cup of tea though, not yet, but I get what you mean. =) Good luck in getting your wider lens! :angel:

Milkmaid is a nice shot. Very nature and quite.:thumbsup:

i like the refection photo best
in my opinion the windmill shot would be better if you shot lesser ground and more sky
