Assume, (Dangerous), hand held, manual focus? Ed.

Do you pump up the saturation on your images, Don, or is this straight out of camera? Too saturated for me but makes one think.
Is it a full frame camera and what sort of distances are we talking about. Keep posting.

Thanks Ed and Dean. Nikon D3100 (DX) camera. Hand held manual focus. I use a lot of tone mapping to pull out the shadows and provide more detail. Not everyone likes it. Some of these photos are only a yard or two and some are 300 yards or more. The harbor photos must be half a mile.

I was just playing around with a lens I bought years ago and rarely use.

I had a Minolta 500mm Mirror lens for 35mm camera, and was impressed with it. Always tried to use 1000th sec, even if it meant cooking the film when developing. Paid off. While I am definitely no expert, have no knowledge of Tone Mapping, I have seen very few images that impressed me. Rather like HDR, friend is prolific with it, then prints on a CMYK Printer!!!. Should imagine it is a bit difficult to find a Printer that copes with it. Probably wrong. Cheers. Ed.

Tone mapping is a feature of Paintshop Pro X5. Like HDR, it brings the extremes of contrast closer together to compensate for the sensor's limited dynamic range. I took these pictures at ISO 800 at 1/500 or /1000.
