I am a golfer, and though I like the perspective of this photo, I find it very lacking. You cannot tell you are on a golf course or a golf cart. I would have maybe put the green in view or something.

ya i took a few at different places on the course but most were just me plaing around. this was the best out of the ones i took. and it wasnt exactly a "pretty" golf course haha.

thanks for the comment though :D

Nice to see that the d700 handles noise VERY well. I am a bit confused, though, as to why you even shot at ISO 3200 since you were stopped down to f/8 and at 1/200th... You're shooting indoors in natural light with a 50 1.4, why not take advantage of that? ISO is usually the LAST thing I want to touch.

Hey guys...

This is one of my more favorite pictures I have taken. I only edited with Aperture a little bit, some shadowing and some balance. I really have NO idea what I am doing with the editing and I still need to read/learn a lot!!

Please comment and any advice on editing is welcome!

Thanks!! Great pictures everyone....

Heres a picture I took the other night at a fireworks display.
I had just inherited a Canon EOS 400D and a set on lenses from my late uncle. Im new to the SLR scene so basically I had to go from using basic point and shoot cameras to using a complex SLR within a day! So I'm pretty pleased with this picture.

shutter: 2 seconds (This allowed me to capture multiple explosions)
Aperture f/5.6
Focal Length 34mm
ISO:100

Any tips on settings would be gladly accepted as Im new to this.

D200, f/5.0, 1/100 exposure, ISO 400. Didn't actually plan it that way (or any particular way since I'm still trying to improve my skills with this camera) but my subject isn't good at holding that pose so I had to shoot quickly. :)

That is simply a gorgeous photo. Well done.

Thank you!

I think you did very well. Those are some of the best fireworks shots I've seen. I tried it once but was disgusted with my results.

Just playing some pinball. I have decided to challenge myself after reading an article on Liam Frankland (http://liamfrankland.com/blog/) who has a project called "this and that" where he shoots everything at 50mm F/1.8. The idea behind the project began as as a way to recapture his "photographic spirit" as he has progressed more towards landscape photography. Basically, when he was younger, he would shoot anything and everything without giving much thought to what he was shooting, and now, by setting some rules (50mm, F/1.8), this style of photography now has a creative purpose. He chose 50mm and F/1.8 because, and I agree, he feels it's his most creative lens as it "reveals elements that are very unique to photography."

This inspired me to try this out. I feel my story is very similar too, as I used to shoot just anything without a thought, only really to document where I was or what I was doing. Then I fell in love with landscape photograph where I could express my love for the outdoors in a creative way... So now it's time to give those shots a purpose again by trying something new! Thanks to DC Mag for the article

I want to post a photo using photobucket instead of my usual attachment that ends up as a thumbnail you have to click, but I'm afraid that the size will force windows to be huge. Is there a way to limit how large the picture appears?
Thanks

You may be able to edit the photo at Photobucket so that it's 765 pixels (horizontally for horizontal photos) x whatever number of pixels (from 400 to 550 pixel) that is proportional to 765 pixels. I never store full size photos at any place on the Internet. What I do is to scale then with Graphic Converter, since this application has a real nice scaler. I enter the horizontal pixels as mentioned above, and GC automatically matches things up to maintain the photo's proportions. I save the photos for "Web" display at approximately 100KB size, and then upload to photobucket. If the photos are stolen online, the thief is stealing a somewhat low-grade copy of the original. When I post them here, they look like these ones in size.
