The *Official Photography Thread*

What mode did you shoot those in? a few of them might have looked cool with the aperture a little bit more open to get some subject isolation. Just a personal thing but I shoot 90% of the time in aperture priority mode and adjust ISO accordingly.

That place looks absolutely incredible though, very jelly.

 

Also it appears as though the contrast was turned way down on this one, making the very white in the clouds look kinda grey and weird. A photo like this would be a perfect candidate for a light HDR job, I know it's a little late for that but just a thought.

 

if there was little post in that pic, it could also be the lens. kit lens, or cheap lenses tend to have weak contrast.

I honestly think the pic looks good

 

i shot all in aperture priority. but some of them my brother shot in just auto mode.

I keep the aperture around F9-11

But i mean come on..the back drop is amazing! haha

Yea the sun was super bright there. Tried to get the whites down a bit more but just made everything else pasty. I didn't have time nor the know how for HDR.

Yea just the 18-135 kit lens. But im happy with it so far.

mostly just glad i have a DSLR period..haha

 

Cant argue with that!

 

A few choice pics from yesterdays run.

 

So many good shots in here! I finally upgraded to a dslr. been unhappy with my point and shoot for too long. Still figuring out the new cam but loving the freedom already!

all taken today just a few minutes from my house. Sorry they're all different sizes, I was playing with upload size to see what fit best on the screen.

the horse one would be so much cooler with a better sky and the fence one would be sweet without the telephone poles...

 

Got my business cards in. I used Moo.com. Just waiting on my prints to arrive

 

Nice what did you get Marc? Also TW resides everything. So exporting the image as a 1024 or 1280 seems to work the best

 

Same setup you have 60D with the 18-135. liking it so far! Yea I see how TW re-sizes it but you can still click the top bar and get full size which is nice for those who are on bigger monitors.

 

Looks good!

 

Thank you

 

Ha! Nice! Good choice

Also with Lightroom I bet you could add more sparkle to that Skye and get rid of the poles..

 

Grab a copy of photoshop and you can get rid of the telephone poles in the pic.

 

Story behind this pic?

 

yea some sort of post software is on the list thanks

 

I use Lightroom 4. It does very good for what I need. I shoot everything in RAW and it gives you a lot more flexibility in your post.

 

lightroom looks like the way to go the more I search around. I've been shooting jpeg + RAW so i can go back

 

I am very happy with lr5.

But may get photoshop at so,e point. Just for the artsy stuff you can do with it. Maybe..

 

i use LR5 i actually like the LR3 more, it had way more options as far as recovery, shadows and color processing.
