Really nice light/colors/texture feel to that photo.

Really nice light/colors/texture feel to that photo.

ISO 3200, RAW, 1/320, 400mm, f/6.3 with my Vivitar Series 1 100-400mm. I think I left the noise reduction settings at their default in Lightroom. I'm happy with the low light performance from my A35. But I don't get why that picture is sharp, but other pictures at 400mm are so soft that they're unusable. The old Vivitar might have some focusing issues.

Nice shot of that falcon. Would love to see one of him in flight. Where was this?

is the lighting really that yellow? or does the nex have issues with white balancing incandescents like my old k100d?

i guess i'll submit a picture as well

[SSSnail]

No, that's what I set it to. The actual lighting is not anywhere near flattering. The bottles were near dark.

Atlantic City Airshow in 2009. F/A-18E/F Super Hornet.

High speed pass + high humidity = awesome vapor cone. This appeared for only an instant as it went by, got lucky with timing!

It's a juvenile red tailed hawk, 2 blocks from where I live, in a tree over Cross Island Parkway in Queens/Long Island border.

I just returned from traveling for the last few weeks and have just gotten started processing some of the photos.

I had a great couple of days in Brussels, even though it rained much of the time. I was trying to find a photo to start with that felt a bit like a post-card of a European vacation. I wanted it to focus on the place and the "feel" without being too much about any individual street or person in the shot. I have a few nice "intimate" shots with faces or people, but I wanted one that was both warm and anonymous.

I decided to go a bit more post-card like than I usually am comfortable with, but I like the result.

This is what I came up with. Thoughts?

nice scene and interesting pastellizing? of the people, but I do kind of wonder why the people are blurred.

It's an HDR shot, probably at least 3 frames which when stitched together you end up with blurred people because they aren't going to be perfectly still.

I love the colors of this shot and the composition, but the blurry people really are a distraction to me.

I think the contrast is really compressed in that scene, and has just been "tone enhanced". could be just 1 shot on an over cast day... from what it seems. You'll be able to capture a crap load of dynamic range on a cloudy day...

SSSnail, i like the color on these... it has that warm, relaxing, yet upscale look.

what setting/adjustments did you use to achieve that effect?

SSSnail, i like the color on these... it has that warm, relaxing, yet upscale look.

what setting/adjustments did you use to achieve that effect?

F 5.6, 1/8, ISO 3200, +0.3 EV, 63mm, magenta/green comp G4, on the bottles.

F 8.0, 1/13, ISO 800, +0.3 EV, 33mm, magenta/green comp G4, on the lobby.

The sunset one is just F 5.0, 1/800, ISO 200, 75mm. That turned out a bit brighter so I darkened it a bit. I think 1/1000 would have been perfect straight out of the camera.

Edit: a tribute to the Endless Summer

Yes, it's a 5-shot (-1.33 to +1.33) HDR.

I've cleaned it up, toned it down and put the people back to being people.

Better?

Weekday afternoon in Brussels, Belgium

My boys just ordered Ubisofts "Battletag" - I often wondered what happened to it after seeing the preview a couple years ago.
Evidently, it flopped -- likely due to it's extreme ($300) price tag.
Now it can be found new for ~$100 (but not from ubi), and it's a pretty sweet experience.
