Hi Richard,
Really, all is a landscape, don't you think. In any case, just a matter of
scale...
About the quality of the 5D files, your comment makes remind a good friend
of mines, awesome landscape photographer.
Some years ago, he used a large wooden camera (and a mule for him, and a
donkey for his camera)
I remember I could count the trees leaves in his pictures. Something
incredible for me.
Well, just now, I can count the sand grains, in the raw files I open from
the 5D :-)
Sure I'll need a long time to familiarize myself with this stuff... I'm not
hurry.
The compatibility R lenses/Canon has limitations (just working at full open
aperture, no compatibilty with some angular lenses, etc...)
But it's just a new challenge !
About the ice and snow on the beach... It's another incompatibilty, here in
Spain, just on the Mediterranean coast...
Please, have a walk, and share some lake Michigan pics !
Best regards,
Marc

Hi Marc,
incredible images. Absolutely a joy. If I was you, i'd count the Flea Bay
ones into your landscapes from New Zealand galleries. The only real
criticism I can offer is that the Digilux images, at least as they appear in
the LUG Gallery, were much more pleasing compositions to my eye. The 5D2
Summicron frames had this vertigoish quality that had me wondering whether
the images were upside down or sideways or something. The Digilux ones felt
very polished with a boisterous 'Look how good I am' quality. My suspicion
is the summi frames lost a whole lot downsizing from their original 20mp and
that -maybe- the set aperture was a bit wide. Subtleties and small jpegs
aren't always the best of friends! :-)
Sands are wonderful subjects. Ever shot ice and snow at the beach? The
similar textures and the contrasting color palletes, especially with some
dune grasses present, can be a real blast to shoot.
I was sorely, sorely tempted to head off the path to go shoot when I was at
lake michigan friday, but then I might not of been able to get back to the
car with a call to 911 for rescue! My feet and legs are still pretty
terrible, my 'short' walk down the stairs and down the beach wall took some
nifty painkillers and strictly shooting standing straight up - NO kneeling
or bending for framing and compositions. Tried it once and almost couldn't
even get the shot off! :-)
