This isn't a favorite, hence putting it here in Random, but it turned out well enough considering how bad I am at night shots

MWalsh9152

wow! Id say you nailed it. As far as being good at night shots....its mostly luck.

jupitersolo

Pretty nice !!

srika

that is sweet!

LKLD

Thanks all, I appreciate your kind comments. I don't see it as a fav, mainly because of the break in the clouds. If it could have been cloudy all the way up or cloudless all the way up, I think it would have looked better. But, as we all know, we can be our own worst critics.

srika

and that's the wonderful thing about showing other people your work, you never really know how "good" it is unless you get some outside opinions.

LKLD

You're so right, and that's the reason I like to post here and at another site to see if others look at my photos the way I do. You really get some insight as to what appeals to a wider mass audience. On the other end, I really love to see what others show, as it exposes me to ideas I never would have thought of....especially your club photos

drigo

i like it LKLD...i like the colors...we have a bridge here similar to that one...

Cool lighting

LKLD

Damn Drigo, you really need to teach me how to sharpen...seriously. Is that Sheikra? Excellent photo

drigo

thanks...yes thats sheikra..
as for sharpening...i do that last after resizing...i make my adjustments then resize and convert to jpg to whatever size i want then i sharpen...all using DPP...
in the photo above i made minor adjustments...it's pretty much SOOC...25 second exposure at f/7 with the camera sitting on the railing...i resized it in DPP then opened it back up with DPP...sharpened to i think 25 then thats it...hope that helps...

synth19

diggin the pics in this page. Good job guys!

LKLD

Yeah, I think it does. I must be sharpening too soon, especially for reducing for the web. I'll try it that way next time...thanks

Did you ride Sheikra? That first drop is

drigo

i did 3 times...

srika

closing out Thanksgiving day, I casually gave my 8-yr old niece the 7D with the 6.5mm attached. She goes and takes this photo of her sister. I think it's amazing. I did obviously crop it and process a tad.

^Cool shot! She did good!

I really want to straighten that painting. Badly...

jupitersolo

She did grab a great image...


at stogie, OCD kicking in huh?? Same for me, and I want to fix the baseboard as well.

synth19

nice! Crooked painting makes the shot!

srika

a-ha! you see, in reality nothing is distorted or crooked - all the distortion you see is from the fisheye lens and the angle of the camera!

oh uh. you knew that, right.

stogie1020

I guess I would have assumed that the distortion of the bottom line of the painting would be the same as the baseboard. I am not a lens physics rocket scientist, though.

srika

this is a weird lens. get weird effects depending on the FL and how you're holding it. check this shot out - no processing on this, SOOC. the one in green is the one who took the above shot -

Cute kids, too...

drigo

good stuff srika
which fisheye are you using on the 7D and how do you like it?

srika

opteka 6.5mm. one of my best tech purchases ever. only thing its a full manual lens, so keep that in mind.

jupitersolo

that means, no metering as well as focus

srika

yeah and the front room with the piano is behind me -

and thanks -

drigo

hmmm...i was checking out the sigma 15 f/2.8
what do you guys think?

drigo

sweet topaz?
how did you get that car/sports ute to look like that...the one across the street from the people?

jupitersolo

Make sure you get a good one. They are hit or miss.

drigo

i'm not getting one anytime soon...but i'll keep that in mind when i do...thanks

srika

a shot showing the painting - because I think you guys probably dont believe me when I said it was straight.
