Part of it is natural light, the other part is two bare flashes on either side of the kid. Some work in photoshop and then I increased the warm color in lightroom by adjusting the white balance.
^ ^ ^ love them both.
Spring in florida was pretty bleak until the rains came late last month... the lily garden is beginning to prosper again.
Using an OM 100mm/2.8 on the E-3,
first signs of life

Very nice picture Mati0000.
Love that picture. Where is it? Reminds me of a place a little bit out of Yellowstone, but it's been 10 years since I was there last.
Love the photograph NintendoChick, how did you do it? I'm guessing you pointed the camera towards the sun...but that does not explain how you get the vintage look? (and again any pp? sorry to ask but I would like to know if photographs has been through PP and how much nowadays that is), I love the glow of the subject a lot

My vintage 100mm f/2.8 E has a cool flaring effect when pointed towards the sun. To get the vintage look, I upped the contrast a bit, and did a minor curves adjustment. Nothing too fancy.
Hello everyone! I just bought my first DSLR a Canon EOS 50D with the 18-200 lens. I needed to, there are too many beautiful things in the netherlands, that I just need to take pictures of them.
I am just starting to learn about photography, I am a total n00b, but here is one of my first pictures, I took it yesterday.
It is a little door next to where I am living at. I don't have a tripod yet, so I think that may have been the problem with the flat metallic parts in the door. It was made out of 9 1/3 exposed pictures from (-2 to 2). Please criticize.

I don't really want to criticise your picture. I'd only suggest that HDR may not be the right way to go if you're just starting out in photography.
This sounds like a better starting point: looking at your surroundings, developing an 'eye' for a picture, instead of getting bogged down in technique or software.
Moss Eccles Tarn, yesterday...
I really like this - good work!
I disagree on both counts. Someone new to photography is best served going about it however he or she sees fit. Learning will come over time regardless.
And about this "technique or software" stuff you are always talking about - they're about as important as one's own compositional eye for many styles of photography. Maybe you don't see the need but a lot of people do.

I have to agree with valdore on this one and as much as I respect Doylem's work I think this next statement will be unpopular. But I feel post production is an important part of photography and even for a new photographer it is a skill that needs to learned. The master photographers in the film days wanted control over how their film was developed, you didn't hear about Ansel Adams sending his film to a 1 hour photo place. Why should it be different now. Even from the beginning learn what you can do. Find out how far you can push PP and then pull it back to the photo you want.
Take photos and experiment. There is no right way to learn.
A similar shot... (I'm sorry! Consider it as 1.5 photos?):
I remember liking the first one when you posted it, and I like this one even better. The glow around the figure and off of the bow looks great, and the composition is much more balanced here. Also, the photo takes on a sort of narrative quality with the figure holding an instrument and looking far afield, as if for inspiration.
Expedition Everest
Saw a few posts from Disneyworld and I thought I would share one of my more interesting shots from our last visit. This is from the Expedition Everest ride at Disney's Animal Kingdom. It's not the best picture and I didn't do any post processing, I just like the girl's hair showing the course our track has taken! C&C welcome.

Looking at the photo I got the feeling in my stomach I was actually there feeling the turn.
