Woman, Dog, Park
Daegu, South Korea
August 24, 2006.
Fuji F30
10mm (widest)
f/2.8@0.232558
iso 1600
cropped about 2/3 off original, levels adjusted with p.s. curves, sharpened a bit, no noise reduction
F30 = amazing. Are there any other p&s cameras out there that'll let one heavily crop an iso 1600 shot, and still show any detail?
Here's a thumbnail of the original to show how much I cropped.
I walk home through the same park every weekday evening. For the first time, I climbed up onto the jungle-gym thing to snap off a quick pic or two on Friday night. Bite-sized dogs are very popular here since most people live in apartments.

All British Day, Adelaide Hills somewhere.
This is a pic of one of my grandpa's cars. It's a 1922 WO Bentley
I must confess, my mate actually took this pic, I was going to treat you all to some Aussie Rules Football, but then I noticed a few car photos had been put up.

Name - Laurier
Date - August 21st 2006
Camera - Fuji Finepix S5000
ISO - 200
Aperture - F8.0
Shutter Speed - 1/500
So, this is a shoot of Laurier near Cote St Catharine. When I took this, I forgot to turn the camera off Macro mode, so the left and right sides are unclear.

It's not a gorgeous building. Definitely not. The photo shows this. However, I think Taipei 101 looks decent in person, especially at a distance.

Thank you, cookie!cookie1105 said:
I do so, and while it helped the colors still aren't quite right on anything else but Safari. To have it look right on Safari I had to include the ICC Profile. Does PhotoShop "Save For Web" optimize for PC gamma?beavo451 said:
On the photo posted yesterday, I noticed that in Firefox on my PC the faces are slightly more red and the yellow wall is slightly more orange than in PS. Weird.

No doubt. I was just a bit shocked when I called it ugly.
I think it would look great without the big knobs and ornaments. It is a good pic.--well composed, etc.
another day in paradise... it pays to be in the right place at the right time. I think this picture came out well considering I do not have professional equip. yet but am using a Kdak easyshare... 5 Mp | 10x optical | sport auto mode
The building's design is quite polarizing even among the Taiwanese, who either love it or hate it. It was controversial from the beginning as some people felt that other more artistic designs were rejected because of some behind-the-scenes impropriety.freebooter said:Nice Picture.
However, it is majestic in person--as any structure of this scale is bound to be--and, of course, dominates the skyline. First time I saw it, I was awestruck. As I recall, the ornaments represent something called 'kirin' in Japanese/Korean and 'qilin' in Chinese. However, Wikipedia has the following short blurb on exterior symbolism:

Feng Shui, symbolism, etc....ok....I still have the urge to chip those plastic-looking bits off.

The first thing I thought of was a stack of teal colored Chinese Take-Away boxes.

Daegu, South Korea

Pentax Optio W10
6.3mm (like 35mm) X 50+
iso 200
One monsoonal day in July, I decided to try to catch a whole forest scene, high/low and all around. I took over 50 pictures (hand-held), trying to keep the lens rotating in one place, and stitched using the miraculous "AutoPano pro" application. It worked! One of the really amazing things about "AutoPano pro" is that I can now make any number of variations by choosing any point on the sphere as the centre of the output image. For example, I could have the image centre on the trees overhead, or the rocks underfoot.
My apologies on any images before this one that I had not offred comments on. Been away for awhile....
I really like this one. As some may know; I only offer comments on those that move me in some way....

Since two shots are within 4 seconds, I posted both here.
Great shots.
Though there is a reason that the DC-10 and B-747 have "steep" tail-ends. At least on the B-747 IIRC, they have skid-plates designed to address this issue.
