Neat picture...what city

are you asking about the brownie pic?

if you are, something tells me you are not, then it would be Orlando, Florida

wow that is a beautiful backround, i heard infinite02 saying "a reflector and/or a fill flash would have worked wonders in that picture."

were you talking about this picture? When is it ok or better to use flash?

if i had to choose between the two you posted, i would go for the one with the Lexar 80x 4GB CF card. the lenses in either kit are sub-par (kit lens is alright, but you really have to stop down the lens [bigger numerical f-stop] in order to get some decent sharpness; the canon 75-300 isn't phenominal either, but it's a good consumer zoom up to 200mm; the tamron kit is cheap).

and i would say that the 20d is worth the extra money, but don't jump into this money pit without knowing at least a little bit about what you're getting yourself into.

ruffryde009: yes i was talking about that picture. i said that because there are some dark areas on the subject that could've been better featured if the photographer were to use a flash or reflector to reflect the sun towards the subject. when is it better to use a flash? every time you shoot.

i love these pictures. Does anyone have an idea on how to get ambient color in different colors? for example.

photoshop.

yes, u can go to selective color, or color balance are two that i use.

i would use curves for that one, but color balance would also work.

some new ones:

he can also play with the aperture a bit, if you close it more you will have a greater depth of field, so that might help a bit...although working close up really limits his options and no matter what he does he will have a lot of out of focus objects when shooting close ups. but it was a nice shot...


anyway...

I did try that diskreet, and I tried it on diferent places but the lens doesn't allow to focus foreground and background simultaneosly..like some said, this is not entirely possible.

Simply awesome man, i love the look of this.

ok what is that? don't tell me that is a basic tripod with a camera mount...

that's my tripod with manfrotto tripod head and lens mount for the sigma 70-200mm f/2.8. i put my tripod into one of the lower profile positions and took that pic cause i thought it looked cool.

Pretty cool pic, if you look close you can see the wings from a Bumblebee behind the flower

I like that man ^, the vignetting is good, makes your concentrate on the cars.

I understand in reply to what I said earlier, just trying add something.

Vinagretta... I mean, vignetting = Photoshop?

Sometimes, sometimes can be caused by the lens hood.

by hood you mean its cutting the amount of light entering the lens?

Yep, sometimes the lens hood will prevent light from entering in, and the center of the image will be brighter, you'll find this alot more on wide angle lens.

How can the hood affect.

the hood prevents light from glaring when shooting, sometimes it will not let the right amount of light to get to the lens.

Google it

thanks! i looked that up on google

^^That looks nice!

^^ nice pic.

Yea its a great pic man, i think would be a lot better with out the shadows, alt lighting or some ps possibly.



well iposted this in one other thread, but this is an old pic i took with my old 3.2 cybershot, touched it up a bit

i miss my lip :(

nice shot, but like the others said, you could've gotten rid of distracting shadows (from her leg and on the car) by using a fill flash. also, the girl seems out of focus by a tad.

but hey, you have models. i don't.

yeah, i know i need a lot more experience. but i'm learning and i've been able to get a few girls together, so thats helping.
from monday... another shot for a MAC makeup artist portfolio...

This one was the first one I did.

Thought maybe adding a little fade from the top may make it look better?

and the clock

maybe too much noise, but i like it.

I've been following this thread for quite some time. my dad is kind of a photographer as a hobby. it started out as him taking pictures of me at football games but then it grew into a full on sports photography hobby. i wsa wondering what you guys think of his Canon EOS mark II-n?

1d mark II n? it's a freaking awesome camera. 8.5 frames per second burst shot. preset color modes for freaking awesome pictures. i'm hoping to be able to afford one of those babies soon. or save up even more for the 1ds mark II. it's full frame and digital!

yeah it is pretty amaizing!!

for some games he rents a fixed 300 lens and can get an awsome shot across the field and over 50 yards away!

if i get a chance i will post some of the pictures he has taken with it. he got it after football but he had it during swimming and during football he had a 20D with optional battery pack. those pictures are still really nice

way to much noise but it still came out wicked! i dig it.

i just did a shoot with 2 friends of mine heres the first pic. i just started editing them right now.
