*OFFICIAL* Snapshot of the Day (one image per post please) #1

[Chewy734]

perfect timing and great shot Scott!

[scollins]

Thanks guys! Got pretty lucky with that one, although I may try editing it a bit better. I have this one too, and oddly enough I think it looks better when I change the white balance to "fluorescent" vs. as-shot (incandescent).

she's very fit...

I think go square on the 2nd one and remove some of the flooring or clone out that shadow on the floor. It works in the first shot but is distracting for me in the 2nd.
Her left finger looks broken. Another good shot at any rate.

[Chewy734]

you mean her right finger?

[M_Six]

She has both hands held virtually identical. Middle finger raised above the others slightly on both hands.

Another cool shot. Someone you know, Scott?

Not really, just one of the teachers at my daughters' dance studio. I usually shoot every performance (good practice). I should set up all the shots on Smugmug or something and tell the parents to go there and BUY pictures!

Yeah, she'd crush me with those legs. Great pics. Especially with the shadow appearing to do splits on the floor.

Nikon D3, 70-200 f2.8 VRI. 3200 ISO, f2.8, 1/400th at 150mm

Great timing!

[HPFREAK]

Couple from yesterday with the 400mm 5.6

[Chewy734]

beautiful shots!

[The1]

using ai servo or one shot?

[remmib]

First day of the year with sunshine all day.

Canon 7D + EF-S 10-22 @10mm, 1/80th, f/5.6, ISO100 with CPL filter.

[Chewy734]

nice, as usual.

where are you in Norway?

[M_Six]

Nice shot, rem. Gotta love that 10-22.

[HPFREAK]

AI Servo, but on others I used one shot and had better luck. The AI servo in this body is not great, and ends up back focusing a lot. This heron was actually pretty far away and these ar 65% crops.

On the southwest coast, in a town called Åkrehamn.

Google map 'akrasanden', and you will see where these pics are taken.

Here's one more from today.
This is not a sunset, but the middle of the day, 1 PM.
See how low the sun is on the horizon here in the winter, and further north it's no sun .

7D +10-22@16mm, 1/100th, f/5.6 ISO100 and CPL of course.

[HPFREAK]

it is a nice shot. did you take it at 1/80th or 1/800th? looks too bright to have been a shutter that low, and not having IS it is pretty sharp. You must have rock steady hands.

UWA lenses are very forgiving with movement, IS or not.
Nice colors and beaches on your shots.

It was 1/80th, the CPL takes a lot of light at least 2 stops. And 1/80 is not a problem at 10mm.

took a wild shot in the dark at some types of editing i've never tryed.

thoughts opinions?

I can't really judge it myself as it's not something i'm used to doing or seeing. but i was going for a darker feel. (i'm normally bright and cheery :P )

[The1]

feel like i lost a lot of noise when i shrunk the image...
