Pics from the Seattle Alki GTG

Well these did not turn out nearly as well as I thought. My fault for not finding a better spot with more lighting I guess. I really should have looked at the histogram while reviewing the pictures. You live and you learn I guess.....
I tried editing them in PS a little, but everytime I messed with the brightness, the pics would get too noisy.

Anyway, here they are. Sorrythey did not turn out as well JTso and CJams. Maybe next time.

Great shots, sorry I missed it. The Ducks looked good against USC for 1 quarter but it was all down hill from there. Nice representation of colors. All we needed was my ABP, a white, red and black one.

Did you use a tripod? If not, then they might have come out better then.

Wow those shots are amazing! It was like pitch black out with no lights. I like that one with the ferry floating by all blurred. Thank you very much for taking the pics as well! Any time you want to do another you just let me know! I am saving all of these!

Thanks to everyones compliments!

good work
acutally the 5th pic could use some burning or dodging (forget which one) its probably just the lighten tool on photoshop.
other than that great pics

btw JTso......Your car looks so sweet on the highway! And that exhaust.....

And for that dude that was complaining a while back, I could see JTso's side mirror turn signals from directly behind him when he switched lanes.

The shutter speed ranged from 10-15 seconds. That was the slowest I could get it. If I go DSLR next, then it's 30 seconds.

Actually not anymore. They were edited and cropped. I do have others though. These are the better ones that were not as dark. If you're interested in them, PM me and I can give you a link to them.

Oh a tripod was an absolute. I could use a better one though. Have to wait for an upgrade though.

That's Seattle.

James:

Your pics turned out very nice. Don't be so hard on yourself.

A sturdy tripod is definitely a must. Maybe the single most important accessory a photog can have. A good one plus head can be had for around $200.

I'll check the pics when I get home. I can send you the unedited ones and you can lighten them if you want.

I think the pics would look a lot better with a higher res camera too. That's why I'm thinking DSLR next. 8MP would make those pics scream!

DSLR is nice.... my bro-in-law got the D50 for couple months. It's so impressive that my wife has given me an OK for a DSLR (not the crazy high-end expensive ones though) EVEN before I gave myself the OK!!!!

A DSLR would be a good compliment to my Sony W1 semi-"pro" P&S dcam....
