Is that little boy eating a sloppy joe?

 

Yea if ur ever on google earth check out the trail into tomahawk lake. As soon as my damn diff is sealed up im gonna hit it.

And yea i can tell you like your saturation which i like in moderation which shows in our edits.

 

Haha nom nom!

 

jeez a 7100 already? haha

one called wolf something or other too..

Yea, two different styles for sure. I do like just good ole natural looking though.

 

You guys will not believe this! I was taking pix of the stars and of my truck, when a freak falling star flew across while I was talking this shot!!

This was only my second shot too! Canon 60d with my 30 1.4 siggy for 13 seconds at 320 iso.

 

I was waiting for you to post this! Haha

 

wow awesome shot man!

how did you light up the trees? flash lights?

also i thought 13 second the star trails would appear..

 

My campfire haha

 

Nope, gas'n it out forward!

 

That is one sick shot!

 

Finally got paid (money I was waiting on for that trip) and sold my 5100 so I figured I would just get something I can grow into for a few or several years ha.

 

WOW!

 

I think a lot of detail would have been saved if you had stopped down on your lens. looks like you shot wide open(per the exif data). different eyes, different styles

 

Yep that one was wide open(focused on the lower right bunch of tree green)... I had been shooting one wide open and one stopped down but of course not on the one shot I kinda liked from the day(was the last shot and was ready to cap the lens for the day)... I really wonder how we would edit this if we were all looking at the same monitor?


@Colin, way cool!

 

I would still edit it the way I did. my monitor is an old 21" that isn't calibrated. I will in the not so distant future upgrade, so I could do some prints.

 

It takes about 30 sec or more for the star trails to start showing. This is one shot at 960.5 sec (16 min) to give you an idea.



^^^This was when I was playing around learning about long exposures.

Here's my edit of the pic. I went B&W with it to maybe get a little bit better detail in it and used a few graduated filters to tone it down a bit in the brighter areas in LR. Then I shot it over to PS to sharpen and play with overall contrast once more.

 

Here is a photo I took today I thought was pretty cool

 

Too cool!

 

Awesome shot...very lucky.

Reminds me of one of my own. ISO was a bit too high, but I only had my cell phone's flash so I made do with what I had.



Also since, we're on star trails, here's one of mine.

 

Very cool shot! I love the colors in it! It's a small world, I took this shot at a event you guys are sponsoring. The thrill on the hill.
