Selected Excellence: The Summer Ocean

Similar to the first set, this second set of works by Ye Li from Shanghai, China, also features photos taken with a Canon 5D along with a  DP1.  Just in case you're interested to know the comparative size of their sensors, read here.

Again, can you tell for sure which was taken with which camera?

The clue is in the unique strength of the different sensors.

The anwser: Ye Li said that photos with a shallow DOF was taken with the 5D while those with an extensive DOF with DP1.  But he didn't specify which is which.  He just quite can't tell it without looking at the EXIF.  Yes, DP1 has a bigger sensor than your G10, LX3, GX200 or GRD1/2.  But, hopefull, having seen the works by Ye Li, Mark and Mitch, you are now quite convinced and tempted to use your serious compact for some works more serious than street shots.  Just do it!

The link to Ye Li's wonderful works is here.
