Photo of the day - September 2009

[NeGRit0]

Nikon D90
18-105VR

I hope you dont mind but i downloaded the original from your flickr to put in my wallpaper rotation.

Incredible, i dont think i have ever seen a b&w HDR.

Nothing special (if ever..) but for those of us (like me) who will never have the experience, a view from the stage.

This looks awesome, especially on my tv. I really feel like im there!

Thanks very much gents

@MrSmith it basically looked the same as this only it was about 4º too high at the lh side and it had 2 dust spots from the sensor on it. I Straightened it cloned out the spots and then posted it.

Todays shot on the hand has been a bit more heavily processed.
Taken yesterday at a shoot for an Alternative T-Shirt company.




Camera: Pentax K10D
Exposure: 0.013 sec (1/80)
Aperture: f/4.0
Focal Length: 16 mm
ISO Speed: 160
Flash Off camera set to 1/16th

The pp on this is amazing, any chance you could post the original?

Did this one for the fortnightly thread.

Candy apple'd vroom.

That bike looks incredible, how ever im more of the crotch rocket type. That O.C.C. bike was pretty bad ass as well.

Care to share the exif on this one?

this photo was taken yesterday
hi-hat cymbal

i love the simplicity

Ground crew at Southwest busy at work

I thought the original Southwest paint schemes were on the ugly side... but, wow! Do they really paint planes that color? Well, you certainly captured them in all their glory.

Mine for today, then it's back to the boats...
I was out picking peppers...(ahem..no jokes about Peter Piper, please...) and this little guy had built a nice structure. I don't have a macro, so I gave it a look with the nifty-fifty 1.8.

Camera: NIKON
Model: D50
ISO: 200
Exposure: 1/1250 sec
Aperture: 1.8
Focal Length: 50mm

 

[Shake 'n' Bake]

All pics with the lowly Canon A720 IS I've got. The only other option is a Canon Eos SLR (that's right, film) that belongs to my mom or an old 3.2 MP Vivitar.

The white flowers are from a tree in my yard. They usually come around every May or there about. This is also one of my first shots with the A720 IS I have now.

The bleeding hearts are next to my garage. One of my best pictures, IMO.

MoMA from a day in NYC over the summer. The building itself, interior and exterior, is one of the best-looking buildings I've ever seen. I do seriously doubt the safety of the glass handrail/walls on the walkways, however.

Sunset and daisy (or something like a daisy) from a local park.

The thumbnails look crappy. You really have to click on them to get the full brilliance of them, especially the bleeding hearts. Even the reduced-size pics I uploaded here are crappy compared to the full-size 8 MP shots.

 

[NeGRit0]

Too much post process?

[MrSmith]

Wow, I really love that shot! Not being technically perfect gives the photo a nice atmosphere in my opinion.

Thanks. I can do imperfect. Being of my own flesh and blood makes it more special for me, of course.

Can i get a little C & C on this one?

Lovely indeed. How did you get those colours...? Is it HDR?

I cycled out to the sunrise this morning and spent the rest of the day wishing I hadn't zzzzzzz..... C&C on this welcome, as always.

 

[NeGRit0]

EDITED: It's a photoshop plug in called Topaz Adjust, it juiced them up a bit, but to be honest they are incredibly bright to begin with.

Mic Check... Er, Lens Check... 1-2, 1-2...

I occasionally low-ball something on eBay that I'm interested in, but not enough to actually go through the motions of researching prices, looking for a good copy, etc. Last week, it was a Nikkor 60mm Micro AF-D, which is a flat-field prime with a good reputation for sharpness and overall image quality. Well, my low-ball won, so today it arrived in absolutely pristine condition, I can't tell it's every been used, and so I was doing a few test shots with it and a cheapo ring-flash bouncer thingie I also got off of eBay because it was inside the "hey, I can play with that" price range (~$34.)

Cobra Bike



Since we seem to be having a few bikes this weather.
I do the Photography for a custom bike builder called Area51, this is one of their older creations. Their customer owned an A.C Cobra car and wanted a bike built to match, it cost £70k to build it but the guy is now selling off his entire bike collection and this one is going for £45k.
I recently completed a shoot for them that is covered by an NDA until the magazine it is going to be featured in hits the shelfs on 8th October, I'll post a shot of their latest bike then
Camera: Pentax K10D
Exposure: 0.025 sec (1/40)

There was no PP on that one. The photo came through as you see it. It was a long shutter, and it was right before a big snowstorm so the clouds were moving at a pretty quick pace. The EXIF should be on the flickr page. But here it is anyway. And I do not mind you using the photo as your wallpaper. If anything, I am flattered.

Camera: Nikon D90
Exposure: 25 sec (25)

Deliciously exotic

Well done

Had the 50D for 4 days and finally got to put it through a nice work out yesterday at a car show.

Boom. I'm loving this thing.

Very nice. Simple...and stunning. What more can you ask for out of an image? Based on this shot alone I'd say it was a good buy.
