So, I found myself on a mountain this weekend armed with both a long lens and a wide angle.
Just for fun, I decided to shoot a comparison shot between 15mm and 400mm, nothing scientific, all of these images are processed slightly differently and therefore this is not really good data, but just a fun exercise to see what was possible.
I was shooting these from a distance of ~13.58 miles (measured with Google Earth), so atmospheric distortion starts to play a pretty big role in IQ, and these were afternoon shots, so the atmosphere wasn't really at it's very best, if I had taken these in the morning, I'm sure the air would have been quite a bit clearer.
The subject is Durango Colorado from the top of the La Plata Mountains..
So, here's the full frames, @ 15mm and 400mm
15mm   400mm
Here are the 100% crops @ 15mm and 400mm
15mm   400mm
And here is a groundhog that was hanging around up there
Cheers all, hope you enjoyed my little exercise.. |
