Three handheld RAWs // HDR // Shutter: varied // Aperture: f/6.3 // Focal Length: 17 mm // ISO 160
the best one of yours i've seen! considering i've used a few as desktop pics in my studio, that's saying something.
forget the great wall, this is my favorite part of china. Fried pies!
i miss those from when i was a kid.
One handheld RAW // HDR // Shutter: 1/80 // Aperture: f/14 // Focal Length: 17 mm // ISO: 100
very cool. reminds me of the William Sleator novel, "House of Stairs".
Yes I had that back in December during my China trip. Oh my God are they awesome. Way better than the Apple pies we have here.
Also had the fried Taros with the stringy sugar you must dip in water to cool off.

Just messing around with manual controls on my P&S. I think this one could have come out better in black and white but I still like it.
It's just a characteristic of this part of northern England (Peak national park) for these little escarpments to be grassy... rather than rocky. It's very green for two reasons: this is early summer in England, with the greens still fresh and vivid. And I shot it very early in the morning. So it's straight out of the camera. There would be a bluish tinge if I'd taken it in the middle of the day. Personally, I don't like that blue 'cast'... so pefer to shoot earlier and later in the day... when the light is 'warmer'...
The old bridge at Watendlath...
BTW, a few people may not know how to 'quote' a pic they're commenting on, so it shows up, second time around, as a thumbnail... not full size. Just add a 'T' to both '(IMG)' tags to make '(TIMG)'.
I like everything about this pic... but I wonder why you've cropped it like this. I think I would have composed it with either the yachts centred... or with a bit more space in front of the boats, rather than behind. Of course, this may just be me wanting everything 'ship-shape'...
Shutter: 1/8000th of a second
ISO: 6400
100% crop
You don't need that high of an iso or that fast of a shutter speed. You could have easily taken that at somewhere around an iso of 800 and a shutter speed of 1/250 (correct me if I'm wrong).
Is there a reason why your iso is so high and you are shooting at 1/8000 of a second? Because your iso is so high you end up with the graininess in your picture. Good thinking but I'd recommend reading up on your camera.
Shutter: 4 sec // Aperture: f/14 // Focal Length: 100 mm // ISO 200
Where was this taken?
Pumpkin Study
Older one shot sort of "day for night." Meant as a series, so sorry for breaking the more than one image rule:
Shutter: 1/8000 sec
Aperture: f/1.4
Focal Length: 50 mm
ISO Speed: 100
Always manual and available light.

I love the abstract shape.

Thanks FJ. I really how it turned out. For those who are interested the pic is from the Walt Disney Concert Hall in LA

Yeah, no reason for 1/8000th of a second
along with 6400 ISO!As you said, an ISO of around 800 with around 1/250 shutter speed would be much better than that grainy picture where there is no detail.
I was just playing with the features on my new camera for that shot.. I suppose I could have used a flash .
Here's another one from yesterday, experimenting with a home-made softbox.
