We should have a theme for every month, so its not just random shots.

Bit has done that in the past. It was kinda like a contest. I think I like this because sometimes you have a pic you'd like to show off that just doesn't really fit a theme but it's not necessarily worthy of an entire thread by itself.

Just recently.

Unfortunately, attached images comes out like crap.

Thanks, we may try again at some point, and you can find the threads for the several 'assignments' we did before, but for now this is getting more pics posted which is good.

Now that's a beautiful shot. My only comment is to crop some off the left maybe enough to remove the dark door at the top, and then maybe a little off the right might be required to balance it out.

Nope, not that church I believe. But I do know they filmed a few house down the street.

well...apparently upon looking it up online for the Wayfarer's Chapel in the OC...they shot a wedding scene @ Wayfarer's Chapel so Zephyr was right!

Lol, well then, I wasn't sure assuming from what I believed. But I do know they filmed an episode in the area.



Anyways, this was taken earlier today.

It is a tad dark.

Also, why ISO 400 if you were using a tripod?

One of many pics I took at the annual drag boat race this past weekend. P&S isn't quite fast enough to capture these boats. Plan on upgrading to a Xti soon.

gf bought me a 50mm :D (you'll eventually read this so, thanks sugar, love ya lots.)

Sweet! Which 50?

the 1.8 (canon). when i get used to it id have to come back here and ask some questions as to what else to get :)

i think the 50mm prime is the first foray into a bad disease called "big-aperture disease"

seriously.

Congrats, raynart. I definitely agree with Whoster. I think almost every photographer has / has once had the 50 1.8 in their camera bag.

I sold my 50 1.8 a little while ago, but I miss having a fast prime at that focal length. So I bought a Super-Takumar 50 1.4 M42 mount yesterday. It should be here maybe by the end of the week.

yea i can agree with that "big-aperture disease" as you put it. kinda like the big super street angle shots, least thats what i call it.

but hopefully ill still be able to have variations in my shots and not just ALL big aperture.

Lol Whoster. So true man.. I'm about ready to get rid of my 50mm f/1.8, I rarely use it now.

Wow love this picture. I need a shot like that for my ride :D

Cool pictures. I would have liked to see maybe a wider shot on the cannon picture.

The second picture is trippin me out. The truck driver is on the wrong side because the signs are facing you. You guys must be stationary because the shutter speed is 1/125 and there's no motion blur.:uh:

Haha no, we were actually traveling about 60mph. The big truck was being towed by another truck and facing my direction. I thought it was pretty weird looking and deserved a picture.

You are right about the first picture needing a bit more of a wider shot, but my lens just doesn't allow.

Wow, I have never been motion sick in my life, but this pic definately comes close to puting me there. The longer you look at it, the more blurry, and the bigger the headache gets. If this was on purpose, job well done. Nice shot, just needs to be a little more clear.

Overall, loving the shots everyone. The Awwww factor is definately in effect here.

I bought mine from a local camera shop here in Torrance called Silvio's Camera. The owned hooked me up, I only paid $700, he took off tax for me so I would've paid around $750+

Stupid Question: Does it autofocus with D40?

Stupid Question: Does it autofocus with D40?
No it doesn't. It's an AF lens, not an AF-S. So this is what I deal with everyday, manual focus.

Nice work out for your fingers then. I love everything about my D40 other than it doesn't auto focus with my Tamron SP AF17-50mm F/2.8 XR lens.

Yeah, with the D40, you might wanna stay away with the third party lens. Unless they came up with AF-S lenses. Everything that I had in my arsenal was all made by Nikon. But sold both my 18-55 and my 50mm, all I have left is my freaking 10.5 Fisheye lens.

Excuse my ignorance, but is she doing a 'gang' sign? :uh:

If she were in Chicago then more than likely she would know it represents the Almighty Latin Kings. Tuck that finger in and it turns to Almighty Unkowns. Doesn't look like she had any intentions of getting her bang' on though.

God I hate gangs.

She is having her first MC, which made her a lil more pissy than usual... so i guess this whole pms thing is not just a human thing.

My girl just got hers too. For a good $15 you can get her disposable diapers or a cloth/velcro fastened diaper with adhesive pads.
Cute dog thou. My girl just gets ULTRA lazy.

Here's mine. Sorry its a little grainy. I was messing with the settings on my PNS but forgot to reset.

Excuse my ignorance, but is she doing a 'gang' sign? :uh:

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! I snapped the pic before she was fully ready!!! LOL:eek2:

I don't think so bit. She is just pointing at the camera.
But 17 with a tat. Your parents are MAD COOL.:uh: LOL...


And NO we didn't agree with the tat, she got it from some dude that did tats in the "hood" when she was going through her rebellious stage!! Believe it or not she got it when she was 15..................................


She got a NICE @ss whipping from me ALONE for that one!!! (what was going through her head?)

Now she is actually in the process of getting it removed!! :woot:(spongebob..LOL)

Yep, that is indeed a reflection from the window. I should have cropped it before that. I'm not very experienced and I don't normally do macro shots, but the large clear and "shiny" bubbles really excited me. Thanks for the feedback though, will keep trying!

Surprisingly, taking photos of aquariums is really difficult. :( Getting the photo to come out looking the way the tank does takes some patience and lots of adjustments to the camera settings. After playing around a bit today I think I finally got the photo about 95% of how the tank actually looks.

Very nice! What kind of lens is that. I see it was shot at 10mm. Also, did you use a flash or did you just use some rendering in photoshop for the light effects?

BTW..I take it you are Vietnamese? Have any relatives in MD with the same last name?

Shot was taken with a 10.5mm Fisheye lens and also with an SB-600 speedlight.

Yeah, I'm Vietnamese. I have relatives in Rhode Island, Georgia and many more places.

Canon G6 and with a bit too much saturation applied for kicks. ;) It really is a colorful flower though.

Well it's actually 3 pics merged together to make things easier. Taken with a Canon A710, but will probably pick up an Xti this weekend. The first was taken at ISO 80, 2 seconds. The other two were ISO 100, 4 seconds. This is the first time I've done this. Next time I'll be better prepared.

Elephant seals north of San Simeon. We visit this location several times a year and during the month of July, these are mostly the younger males and cubs remaining. Jan-Feb is birthing so the beach is filled with females and little ones as well. (The little pups are cute. :hug:)

5D, 24-70 @ 35mm, 1/250 @ F8.

Even though all three frames were exposed same setting, the center frame was off by -1/4 a stop so there is a slight variation in sand tonality. Weird.

Digging through some older pics. Each April, this club pulls into Solvang and it times with our vacations there. I just love these little guys. :)

280ZX wheels and other mods.

5D 24-70 at 24mm, 1/400 @ f5.0.

Due to the proximity distortions: adjusted the front end using perspective control then in the resize/resample, elongated it about 2%. Shadows were a bit blocked up so it's bumped 5% lighter just to bring out a bit more detail in the front fender well and tire. Couldn't do much with the back without a mask and since this is a casual shot, no need.

Used the regular Canon conversion and this was set to landscape mode so it has a slight nudge in color saturation. That's it. Lots of compression so the IQ has gone down.

ThoLe.. "Clean & Philadelphia". :p

I couldn't resist the challenge: :)

The people turned invisible, slight adjust of perspective and a nudge on contrast. Not purrfect though a bit more would have it. :) Wife used to ask me if I wanted to wait for people to clear a scene...now I clone them out. Love that aspect of digital capture. :)

looks good! how did you do that?

I used the clone brush/tool in the editor. There is enough symmetry that cloning the posts and windows were pretty easy. Taking open areas of the sidewalk, street, building, cloning people out was the next step. Because there is a slight grade as distance reduces the size, one has to do some manual re-touching to keep the perspective correct. Mine is not completely accurate which is why I enjoy the challenge of doing this, to learn.

The editors of today offer such complexity, I barley use a fraction of what they are capable.

Books I reference for learning new techniques are Scott Kelby's.

While most these relate to Adobe's Photoshop line, I adapt them to Corel's image editor, Photo Paint. What I cannot do in that, I use Photoshop Elements.
