Picture of the day...

[furious]

My first try at a HDR image. Image was made using DRImaker a freeware program for doing HDR images. I think I need to work at it. Plus not use my bedside light as a light source. Done with my SE K800i 3.2mp camera phone.

Taken on my parents deck in Bristol, RI on April 21st. I had been inside which is why the ISO is so high, but I saw this guy taking a drink and liked the colors. He took off before I could change the settings (drop the ISO, increase the aperture, etc)

Cropped and sharpened in Picassa

That I like! What PP did you do to it ( if any )?

I made a duplicate of the original photo and turned the sharpness all the way down. I the opened up the original and the now blurry duplicate in CS3. I pasted the blurry layer on top of the original photo and toned down the opacity to 50-55%. I played around with the contrast and saturation as well as the tone curve and vibrance slider in Lightroom. The end.

Thanks for the nice complement Iscariot.

More of big Tuesday... this was later in the afternoon as it was getting smaller. This unknown surfer escaped with his life.

Okay, that's too funny -- I saw the image and the sign and thought to myself "that's the kind of sign we would see here"

Then I looked at your location.

Nine ball anyone?

I'm currently tring to improve my composition skills so this photo's only edit was WB. I work and go to school full time so unfortunatly no time for photography classes. Let me know how to improve and any suggestions or thoughts. Don't be afraid to be honest. Just keep in mind, i'm still in the early stages of learning and the purposs of this photo is composition but feel free to critique any aspect. Oh and i was attempting the rule of thirds.

I like the use of complimentary colors... Like the lines and shapes. But I do wish the tulips (they are tulips, right? ) were sharper (well, they look sharp in the clickable thumbnail format but when I zoom in to the posted size, they start looking not so sharp to me). And I can't decide if the little sex organ in the frontmost/ far left flower is too distracting or not. When I squint and cover it up w/ my finger, I do like the image more, buuuut, it's hard to say, ya know? Looking at a print matted and framed on a blank wall is so different from looking at an image on a 13" screen.

Here on da East Coast of Florida there is no 'channel' to paddle out in... no reef to paddle around. If you want to get out there it's straight through the middle over the sandbar, or not at all. Ten foot walls of whitewater were commonplace yesterday.

Thanks for your rather extensive critique! They are tulips. But I think it wasn't so sharp because I got a little too close with my lens and it's not a macro lens. But thank you, I'm glad you liked it!

 

[freebooter]

Thanks for the picture.
I like it because it reminds me of Canada, my homeland, a place I miss. Where was your picture taken?

(I bet there are some sweet trout in that lake)
