    General Sherman knocked-off it's AF Point pedestal

    Now here is a 100% crop from the front of the trunk. Hopefully the upload doesn't screw it up ;-) Felt I was pushing things at 1/2 sec, ISO 500 and f/11 .... this is a 2100 pixel attachment.

    General Sherman knocked-off it's AF Point pedestal

    RBTREE ... This post and the two photos are in reply to your reply at the portraits thread, related to the 5DS, etc.. I just ordered this print as a 40 x 60 print canvas. If it turns out as hoped for, even a 2000 pixel sample on a large monitor won't represent it. In the full file, even the...

    Hey ... when you say that, it could mean G. F. Beranek who posted prior to you, because his photos make me happy too. :coffee2: I could sit for hours browsing, and enjoy a cup of brew.

    General Sherman knocked-off it's AF Point pedestal

    To keep photos realistic, I almost always ask the other person to stand mid-trunk. If they stood behind the tree, it would be exaggerated. So in those shots he's at mid-trunk which offers the closest comparison of human and trunk. When I looked at this image from two years ago, a month after I...

    General Sherman knocked-off it's AF Point pedestal

    It's still amazing how these redwoods blend in though. Some are in groups of redwoods not as big, but still hefty. And among all the sword ferns and 10 ft. Huckleberry, they are cloaked. It's not hard to miss one by 5 seconds of walking through a patch of forest and looking the other way...

    General Sherman knocked-off it's AF Point pedestal

    The fallen / broken redcedar topic inspired this one. It's about growth though, rather than damage. Between 2010 and 2016, the 1321 point General Sherman was unofficially surpassed by coast redwood, by no less than 40 points. The reason it's not official, is a bunch of us on the west coast...
