Something is going on with Zeiss

Mine too! Hmm - how come you need to double-click to get the enlarged image on the web site? I thought at first the links were broken. Do you use filters, or post production to get the coloring? Ooh! A shooting discussion

. See, we can do that too!

What has double clicking an image got to do with anything? When I shoot outdoors I use GNDs, a polarizer and 81A pretty standard.
 
DJ don't get into personal accusations here I have nothing to hide all my Velvia origonals are available..if you don't like something I say fine.
 
The web is the great equalizer. Rarely do characteristics that distinguish prints apart show up on a compressed 600 pixel J-Peg at 120KB. So every photo shown on the internet could've been shot with a $100 point & Shoot and worked over in PS for all we know.
 
WHOA! Dermot! Nobody is accussing anybody of anything! I actually liked the effect!

I was just wondering how you got the colors, is all! Filters, whether glass or Photoshop are all photography. Dodge & burn or Photoshop Curves adjustment, they are both allowing the photographer to fulfill his rendition of the image. I use Photoshop myself.

The double-clicking has to do with me going to your web site, clicking on your thumbnails and nothing happening! Then I tried double-clicking on your thumbnails and that's when the larger image window comes out. Normally web sites use just a single click to activate, hence my comment!

Lighten up, we should be friends having a shop discussion here! I'm the last guy to come down on anybody!
 
Well re-read you comment, it's one of the reasons I hate e-mail there is room for tone or inflection.
You'll have to ask my webmaster about that but I use both PC's and Mac's and I'm pretty used to double clicking my way around. I used Velvia 50 for the landscapes and shoot during the pre dawn/dusk and twenty minutes thereafter after which I feeel the light looses a lot of it's umph, and I often underexpose. Of course this is one reason why a lot of others out there dislike Vevia 50. I work a little in levels and curves but avoid Hue and Saturatioin, I add some unsharp mask at the end. I have the original on the light table to match as close as I can but I don't believe in going over the top in p/s there wouldn't be much point for me in going out to shoot.
My work is going to look different on everyones screen as we all use differeing methods to calibrate and some don't bother.
 
I know the feeling! Plus I am actually rather incoherent myself today, having just arrived from China last night and feeling totally discombobulated, or some such, after being stuck in LA with a cancelled flight for over a day with 16 then 13 days of jet lag.

But check with your web master on the double-click. While as you say, double-clicking is standard for the PC/MAC workstation environment, web sites normally use single-clicking for links. Go to the gallery right here, for instance, and it all works by single-clicking. The reason I bring it to your attention is because you'll be surprised how many people will think the links don't work when they single-click on them. Then again my dazed mind may be making more out of it than necessary, but it has been in the spirit of being helpful, not scornful

. But enough about that ...

The great thing about photography, or any other art medium or means of communication and expression, is that we all hopefully give it our own special slant and thus show and give a little of ourselves to others. That's why I like to think in terms of approaches being different, not necessarily better or worse.

Cheers,

DJ
 
Yes, I couldn't get into Dermot's pictures. I must note to double click! Spiffing pictures that they are from the thumbnails.
 
You are the only two people who have brought this up, I send out a pic of the week to a long list of people, most non photographers I've not had a problem...double click it's a cinch.
