Nice shots since I have been gone guys. I took a few shots on my vacation and will have a few uploaded by weeks end. Unfortunately I made a huge faux pas and forgot my battery charger in my other suitcase during my Dominican Republic week....but I still think I got a few good shots nonetheless. I still plan on doing my little competition thread with a authentic German beer stein/cup as a prize...more on that later!

Heck, it took me 2 years before the the Angel fish would finally come out for a picture.

nice rodi

tim those shots of the guggenheim and manhattan bridge are great

Chewy734 · 08-04-2011, 01:24 PM

nice shot rodi! I wish the top part of the photo wasn't blow out, and still had that greenish bg to it. Her right arm is also a tad too dark for my taste.

funny you mention that. i noticed, after shooting some of these, my shutter speed was too high to sync to the strobe, hence the darker bottom portion. not sure how that slipped by me - i think i was too busy wiping the sweat from my face and eyes just to see the viewfinder.
we set this up as a little test shoot. the heat and humidity were bloody unbearable. we were both drenched in sweat the minute we got down there. and i don't feel like photoshopping the after effects of sweat mixing with makeup. :\

Here's an osprey that's just fledged in the last couple of days. It's amazing how fast they "get their wings" once the finally leave the nest.

All I ever get to see are Red tails and Kites.

M_Six · 08-04-2011, 11:05 PM

Fooling around with high ISO again.This is my cheapo 55-250mm IS at f5.6, 1/10 sec handheld, ISO 12800, 200mm, and +2EV. Then PP'd to bring exposure back down and reduce the noise. Not bad for a cheap lens.

Weebl · 08-04-2011, 11:26 PM

EF-S 18-55 non IS plastic lens.
Hows this for cheap?
Cost $40 and $50 ( I bought two, one for me and one for my son in case I couldn't get a 17-55 2.8 for my trip)
F14 hand held.
Same photo as posted in the general photography thread.
I will go back in December when the light will be straight on.

True, but at ISO 12800 it takes a lot of polish.
