Thanks Chris! Yes, these were all shot with the 15-85. Re settings, I was actually lazy for image #6 in second post, and just hand-held the camera using the image stabiliser instead of setting up the tripod. The exposure was 1/5 sec @ f/4 and 800 iso. I should have used the tripod and shut the aperture down to at least f/8 really. I have to say that the 4-stop IS is one of the best features of this lens!
I did use the tripod for the image #4 (1/3 sec @ f/8 and 200 iso) and the waterfall images though. |
The appealing aesthetics also come from good composition - the use of a wide field of view, which exaggerates the apparent distance between the foreground rocks and background trees, giving a dramatic feeling of open space.
