Rice field in bw

Posted by akarui (Kagoshima, Japan) on 3 July 2008 in Landscape & Rural and Portfolio.

I change a little this serie with some BW pictures.

Thank you very much for all your comments.
You can see the same picture in bigger size and better resolution on my new blog.

This is one cool shot Olivier. I am curious how you like your G9. I was thinking to get me one as well. Are you satisfied with the sharpness and resolution? Did you have the chance to get some large prints out of it?

@Chris Chisu: Thank you very much Chris. The G9 is a nice camera for its size. I did some large prints and I doubt that anyone can guess that it was not a SLR if the picture is taken in normal conditions. I avoid 400 ISO as the noise is quiet strong... I find that the time lag is an issue too... There are of course other limitations comparing with a SLR (DOF, night shot limited to 15 sec,...)

Un coté plus graphique qui complète bien le coté plus informatif des autres de cette série. J'aime la perspective et les ronds dans l'eau.
