ahh... the one I went to was on the Oahu at the Polynesian Cultural Center.

The Old Lahaina Luau will always be booked, make your reservations before you go. Want to go next month?

Just came back from Maui, I won't be going back for awhile.

Btw, I think that photo would look killer with a 10-stop ND filter.

10 stops = 3 1/3rd real stops

No. 10-stops is approximately 10 real stops on a good ND filter. Here's my favorite one... sadly I've been on backorder for over two months on this now (damn LEE):

I'm used to seeing .6 or .3 or whatever... I assumed that ".6" was the key to you readjusting your exposure properly. So if you have a .6 you stop down 6/3rds (from f11 to f5.6) and thats the proper exposure.

maybe I over thought it all.

You didn't over-think it. I think you got confused by density numbers vs. stops. A density of 0.3 is actually 1 real-stop, 0.6 is 2 real-stops, etc. Those are approximate of course, since it depends on the quality of the resin/glass.

Central Park tree.

ok so each .1 is a 1/3rd stop. Got it.

Awesome shots guys! Haven't been active on this part of the forum for a while now due to a LOT of travel. I'm finally home (Lebanon) visiting my parents and friends for the summer. This picture was taken from my bedroom less than an hour ago. Sunset over the Mediterranean Sea, untouched in any way, straight out of the camera.

M_Six · 06-07-2012, 01:56 PM

Helluva view, Mario. Nice.

M_Six · 06-07-2012, 01:56 PM

30 Rock

dcstep · 06-07-2012, 02:26 PM

My obligatory 30-Rock:
It's interesting to see how much difference a small change in perspective makes.

I have a similar shot, Dave. But then I moved around to directly in front to take a second series. Very packed there today, as it probably is most days. Everyone shuffling for a shot. I also used ACR's correction tool to "stand the building up" a bit more. Here's a shot from the side by the flags. I was obviously further down the line of flags than your vantage point.

M_Six · 06-07-2012, 03:24 PM

I also went to St. Patrick's cathedral, which is right there at The Rock. More obligatory shots.

Chewy734 · 06-07-2012, 03:59 PM

what's with the giant white spot in your first 30 Rock pic, Mark?

We stood very close to the same spot. I also corrected the building perspective, using DxO Optics Pro. I was at 24mm on a full frame camera.

Direct sun on the bldg and reflecting in my face. I'm surprised there was no lens flare.
