Daegu, South Korea

Fuji F30
3 shot panorama
iso 100
-1.0 e.v.

With its cooler, drier weather, fall is festival time in Korea. Papier mâché men loiter under some tall pines, awaiting their turn.
 
9.30.06, Monroe, LA

I'd post specs, but it's probably had too much photoshop work for the specs to even matter now...

1-Oct-06. A Bunch of Kids. Agra, India.

Across from the Taj Mahal. These kids really went wild when they saw their picture on the camera's LCD. What a great bunch.

Nikon D200
18-200mm f/3.5-5.6 VR
Focal length: 24mm DX (36mm FF)
1/20s @ f/3.8 (around 6pm)
ISO 125

ksz, I love those kids. I don't have the photographer vocabulary to explain exactly what I like about your pic, but there's a kind of energy - they all have incredibly happy expressions, and it's as if there's a kind of balance in the image, because their stances and expressions complement each other. Is that the only one you took, or the best of the bunch?

VictorM, I love the faucet - both the colors and the way you captured the drop falling.

untitled..., I love both the original and the chaos. :D

Thanks! This is the only picture I took of the kids. I was on my way to the riverbank to snap some pictures of the Taj when I met these exuberant kids. They were jumping and screaming when they saw their picture on the LCD...the energy after the picture was ten times more than the energy captured in the picture!

P.S. I should have increased ISO and used a faster shutter speed. Oh well.

Nice stuff. I like your depth of field which isolates the head. Were those the actual colours or did you convert it?

That one is straight from the camera (which is rare for me), just some cropping.

I think this is a really nice image. Great control of DOF.

But it definitely has a green colour cast. I had a look at it in PS. When you correct, using the top of the snakes head, the cast dissapears. Then you can see the light from a red incubation lamp in the top-right hand corner that probably threw your white balance off.

I hope you don't mind me messing with your image and reposting it. I think it's a really nice picture and it reminds me that I should get down to Copenhagen Zoo and take some pictures. Well done on a good capture!:)

don't despair :) there is some really nice stuff being posted here from "point-and-shoot" cameras. Many of my own favourites were taken on my trusty 2 megapixel, 5-year old Canon PowerShot (S300) :)

Indeed. I'm blown away by the macro shots that point and shoot cameras can do. If I had one, I'd be running around taking macro shots of everything.

Nice one. I got almost hypnotized while staring at your picture :). It appears to be moving back and forth, really fast. And it took me a while to see the cat.
