I personally like the original over the edited version

 

nice pictures man i like em a lot.

really which on the ones of the mountains or the one of me and the girl?

i think that the mountains were way to dark, and the one with the girl was extremely red but thats just me.

what did you like about the original?

 

Thanks

I like the Original pic with the mountains, however I would crop alot of the dead space at the bottom of the pic. I liked the silhouette that mountains made on the skyline.

Your other photo that you posted was edited pretty good

EDIT: if you are doing long exposure photos you do not have to shoot at really high ISO settings (personally I would have used ISO 800 and slowed the shutter speed way down and used a higher f stop like f/11)

 

ya your right i didn't notice that until you said something, ill have to try it again and see what happens.

also thanks I'm still learning haha

 

Here is a little more info i added to the previous post:

if you are doing long exposure photos you do not have to shoot at really high ISO settings (personally I would have used ISO 800 and slowed the shutter speed way down and used a higher f stop like f/11)

 

ill keep that in mind i think i took that picture like a month or so after i got the camera it was a huge learning curve i had no idea what i was doing haha.

i think in that one the iso was on auto to be honest but i have no idea i can't really remember and the f stop i have no idea it was probably really low to be honest.

but thanks for all the info i feel like I'm learning a lot and slowly getting better!

 

The easiest way to learn is to keep taking photos

 

I really like your photographs, I wish we had that kind of landscapes here in Florida

exactly!

well here is one more try tell me whatcha think and after this ill stop taking up room with the same crap haha

 

much better, but IMO the photo is still a little to bright

 

Canon 60d arrives tomorrow with the 18-135mm lens. Hopefully i'll be able to take some pictures to post in here.

 

ahh damn haha well i tried! and to be honest your right i do think it looks better after the crop but ill just have to keep at it!

 

A Nikon Nikkor AF 50mm f/1.8d Lens work on a d3100 (read ~ DX format camera), right? Im looking at THIS one from B&H. A 35mm would be better right? How much better is the question. I dont really what to spend $200 more for a lens that is only a bit better. Im an amateur, never to become professional photographer.

edit: B&H says:

Is this for real? If so crap...

 

looks good, I have a quick question why were you shooting at ISO 1600?

 

that lens (the 50mm) will work but it will NOT auto-focus, the difference it just the focal length. A 50mm lens on a DX format camera will give you a effective focal length of about 73*. The 35mm lens was designed to give an effective focal length of about 50mm on a DX camera.

 

Thanks!
Yeah, I just left Flor-duh 3 yrs ago after a short 14 yr stint. I started in cocoa beach and moved south from there. Yeah, I love all the photo-ops out here.

Here are a few more... Something most Fl. people dont get to see... stars and the milky way, with some lightning in there too.


10 min exp.





I really like Macro photography too.






Oh and is anybody looking for a Ultra wide angle 12-24 sigma lens for a Nikon camera, if so I have one CHEAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Thx

 

true, but only AF you can still use it in MF but you'll hate it(been there done that).

 

Here are couple of pics that my daughter took over the weekend at the bracket finals in Delmar, DE.
