Bird on a Wire.

Should have used higher ISO. And a tripod or a monopod. Never would have gotten this shot with my CoolPix though.

Film is awesome.

I dunno... it kinda looks like a camera phone pic... fuzzy and noisy.

Here's another from my trip to Berlin...

Digital is awesome.

Part of the problem is probably the large aperture. I have trouble seeing a point that is in focus. Otherwise, I like the atmosphere of the shot…

Maybe crop most of the dark foreground out?
I guess this pic would have benefited from a grad ND filter. I don't own one myself, but just yesterday started looking into getting one, maybe.

Headlands, Oregon coast

The sun was still a bit high in the late afternoon which was also a bit hazy from some onshore mists, and I got some strange color banding in this shot...I haven't seen that before. Most likely some flare since I didn't use the hood...

The first landscape photography workshop went really well, I think. Of course, it ain’t so hard to rhapsodise about photography and the landscape when the light is so obliging. There’ll be tougher sessions... like when it rains for days on end (a bit of a Lakeland speciality). This is the lake - Rydal Water - where we were based for the weekend...

Thank you and no I didn't. Just a hand held shot with the 18-105 VR kit lens.

bloody hell, thats impressive then!

Hey remember movie theaters? Those things people used to go to all the time.

EXIF
Camera:Canon EOS REBEL T2i
Exposure: 0.002 sec (1/640)
Aperture: f/3.5
Focal Length: 18 mm
ISO Speed: 100

Wow, i love that! nice shot man!

I feel this shot would benefit from a greater DOF or maybe adjustment of the focus so both eyes are in focus. I find myself wanting less blur in this shot.

My very first post! Having fun with my new D90

^ Nice photo, but it needs a bit of cropping. The branch on the upper right is distracting. The horizon seems a bit too close to the center of the frame. Just my thoughts.

one of my photos from the ash cloud sunset series still.

I like this a lot. Click for larger version, the colors came out nice and warm.

^ The colors in this photo are indeed stunning and unusual. What is in the foreground to create the red? Tulips?

A friend of mine and I went to the park on Bank Holiday monday to have a second attempt at kite flying photography.

^ I like the angle you used for this one. It is unique and pleasing. The DOF is a question for me. I'm not sure I like the kite out of focus, but I'm not sure I would like it in focus either. If I had both shots in my editor, I would have a hard time choosing the right one. Nice.

That. Is. So. Freaking. Cool.

^ Two pointers here. First, use tags for quoting. See post #1. Second, Please tell us why you like the photo. Colors, setting, framing, sharpness and such. We all want that kind of info so we will know what we did right.

Been a while since I posted a photo...

I spent a couple days getting skunked on that river, while my buddy picked up a couple beautiful steelhead, some many years ago.

Nice photo.

Yup, it was set to 2.8, in realisation, on film, that's really not that viable.

Still I love the grain that the high ISO gave it. Looks very vintage, which is the look I was going for really.

1st shot with my Sigma 70-200 f2.8. Still need to play around with a bit with the settings, focused on here left eye, but the nose is out of focus. Seems like shooting in Aperture Priority mode works the best with hand held? On a tripod, Manual seems the best? Any thoughts

Great photo.

Wow, Thanks guys! I was actually there to hike up The Chief and I was hoping I could catch some Bald Eagles with my camera but nothing in sight. Couldn't even find a nest. So I just embraced the beautiful scenery. It's so peaceful. I saw the huge herd of dolphins (if its even called a herd) but my 18-200 sucks! I need 500mm ultra super sonic mega death ray lens!
Thanks again! Means alot!

Don't have a cow.

I like your cow. The DOF is neat and the light is great too, plus she's pretty in that cow like fashion Looks like something to moo about! Well done. Barry
