Insignificance by BillSherman

A few things about this image, in order for it have the impact I wanted I actually cropped it down so that people viewing in thumbnail size would be able to take in the speck that is a human being in the corner. I also flipped the canvas, the person was originally in the lower left corner to begin but since 500px obscures the lower left corner with a watermarked title and photographer name, again in order to give the viewer the chance to see the human I flipped the canvas so the person is now in the lower right corner of the image. If I was going to print this however, I would go back to the original crop that shows much more ocean, giving greater visual appearance of how tiny one human is against the backdrop of the ocean, and I would print it very large and hang on a wall. In fact I plan on doing just that... :-) Hope everybody is doing great!!nice wallpaper picture free download via 500px http://ift.tt/1FqJq2L

Morning Love by All4Nature

Hello Light Lovers, Been away for a while, mostly busy working but trying to do some light chasing as well. Being a Nikon fanboy, I always fancied the Holy Trinity. Having acquired the 24-70 and 70-200, the only lens left was the legendary 14-24mm. I had my eyes on it for many years but the technical(and financial) issues with the use of filters kept me away from it. Last week I finally took the plunge and ordered one. This shot is from the first outing with the new lens, and I must admit I fell in love with it. I have been using 16-35mm Nikon but this lens is a class apart. I chose a day with high tide and hoped for some clouds and color and I got it all(more from the series to come). This shot is single exposure, no filters attached. I was more than knee deep in water which is known to have marine stingers and box jellyfish. The high tide and winds also meant that the new shiny lens was splashed with salt water on the first outing(but that why we pay Nikon so much for weather sealing, right). I was impressed with the corner to corner sharpness and that extra 2mm indeed made a lot of difference. As for now, I am looking to build a filter set for this beast. Keep chasing light and enjoy the sunshine.nice wallpaper picture free download via 500px http://ift.tt/1BwAZeP
