devilot said:Ha. Sock tan.
I also have sandal tan on my feet.
I can only post one of the 30 or so photos from my computer at uni (which I use on my desktop), so I guess I'll post another from there...
Sorry about the size.
It's a bit bigger than what I'd post from my Mac.Taipei -- late September, 2005, at a restaurant with my (ex) girlfriend.

AGoglanian, that is a beautiful shot.
NYVideoGuy, this is probably a stupid question, but how is that done (no color in background)? I don't think I've ever seen it before, at least not when more than one color is present.

My first post
OK. Photography novice. But I'm lovin' it. Went to Ecuador for 8 days last month. Here's one of my favorite shots.
PS - I'm also loving working with digital B&W and Split Tones. I'm playing with both, and this shot looks great both ways.
Strete vendor, Quito, Ecuador. May '06.
Nikon D50 w/Tamron 18-200 lens. I'm not sure of the shot setup info. It was midday sun, so you can probably guess pretty close.
Comments more than welcome. I'm a newbie.

I'm crackin' up because my very NOT artsy-fartsy brother said the same thing when he first saw it about 5 minutes ago. Have to work on the plain B&W pic and see if I can make that one not so 'Dracula meets his grandma'.
Thanks much,
Jared
Well this next shot is a bit weird perhaps...it all started a few months ago with a competition on Nikoncafe called "return to normalcy" where the premise was shoot anything for the duration of the challenge- but only use one prime or a zoom taped to one focal length.
When I was post processing one raw file I tried a number of curves. Out of frustration I made a really weird one by plotting as many curve points as possible and sent the peaks and valleys all over the place. It made for a really neat effect. I saved the curve, picked a different one and submitted it.
I thought the curve was gone forever when my windows PC crashed, but this week I got it sort of running so I could get the last things off it that I hadn't backed up and put them on my mac. This curve was among them. With a few tweaks, I loaded it into my D2HS, then replaced the old curve I had in the D2HS, then since I don't use a custom curve in my D200 loaded it in there. It does some weird things with noise, weirder things with colors.
This next shot is a JPEG straight out of the camera with the exception of a quick resize in Nikon Capture. Just a warning, it may hurt your eyes
Place: Miami, FL, USA- guest room at my mother's house
Date: June 14th, 2006
Subject: My Nephew and my Brother-in-law.
The tech stuff:
Camera: Nikon D200
ISO: 1600
Shutter Speed/Aperture: 1/15 sec. f/3.5
Lens: Nikon 28mm f/3.5 AI manual focus.
Could have done better, but this was my first try with that curve and I wanted to stay far away so as not to disturb the baby. The lens on the camera dictated the focal length, and finding something to brace against dictated my framing

Nice, man!
Where at in Monroe was it shot at? I'm always down there and over in Antique Alley trying out portrait stuff.
Mainly just playing with my new 50mm 1.8 that arrived today.

That's a nice shot Josh, which marina were you shooting at? Also, you had the backgrounds nice and black....is that small aperture and then flash burst to light the subject?
Mike Teezie said:
Very nice shot, of a very nice model
Did you do some PP to the background at all? There looks to be a slight aura behind her and a nice blur behind too....just seeing what was done

That's actually right in front of Autsin's, right by the Endom bridge.
We were waiting to cross the street, and I told her to turn around and smile, and she did.

Thanks, e!
I added a slight vignette to a feathered selection of the background, because it was kind of nondescript. This brought the attention even more to her, and gave her that nice little aura you described.
The background blur is all f/2.8. Shot with the 28-75 Tamron - I'm starting to trust this lens when I get stuff like this!

It was at the Coast Guard's dock.
No flash was used, it was pretty much "Hey, that coil looks neat....<click>."
If I remember right, there was a boat or something to the right of the dock, causing the water to be heavily shadowed.
