psp_BOY: Sweeet!

ramblie: It's slightly overexposed.



Minolta 24-105mm F3.5-4.5 at 24mm F3.5 on a900. Vignetting is au naturalle, which can be such a nice surprise!

xandman: No PP but I used Daylight WB... that brings out greens everytime!

ramblie: In Photoshop, use the Text tool and type your watermark over it. Then click on Layers and adjust the opacity to somewhere between 5-20%.

I hope you use that a900 a lot, it's an awesome cam. Went out for a troll, it just finished raining, took around 15 pictures, all at ƒ1.4. Will put up tomorrow. For Now,



Camera: Nikon D3
Exposure: 1/5000 sec
Aperture: f/1.4
Focal Length: 50 mm
ISO Speed: 200
Don't believe I've put this one up.

First, go buy Nikon D3
Joking, first of, I use Lightroom 2 and I shoot RAW, I have not used CS3 for a long while, only for merging photos and to do 'extended' post processing.

This was fairly simple, I adjusted the exposure slightly higher, added more blacks at +15, recovery at+83, Adjusted white balance from 5350K to 5936, clarity +21.

Highlights at +21, shadows at -13, dark +11, light +2, Although at this part it's not for all pictures. Sharpness at 45 rdius 1.0, detail 32, again not for all pictures. No noise reduction for luminance, just for colour since it was shot at a very low base iso.

Lots of vignetting was added, using the lens correction and post crop and I adjusted the camera calibration, with ACR4.4, shadow tint at -6, Again this part is not for all pictures as it might come out differently.

This was the original picture


and here it is after pp...


Again these settings will make other pictures turn out differently.

Naw, there is a history palette where I can go back to previous actions but I'm verry careful with the work. There are no layers in Lightroom, I've got to go use CS3 for that, but I rarely need to layer for dodge or burn a photo since lightroom ahs the ability to upp or lower the contrast and highlights. Plus with Lightroom 2 there is a brush tool where  can apply a mask to adjust exposure, clarity, brightness, and can delete individual masks if you want.

Hmm Looks as though it's not in focus. Or is it just me?

My contribution on Why I love my Nikon D3:



I know your thinking "What's so great about this picture?"

Aha! I dunno I like it.

Maybe It's special because it's a 100% crop of this:

Woohoo! Wish I shot it at ƒ/5 though, I'd like a bit more detail. Still, the sharpness and detail at 100% is really nice

ramblie: Your last one is nice! Love the greeens!

Perhaps you should lower down your ISO to 100 and increase the aperture to f8 to get the subject more in focus.

CAEK NAO? DERICIOUS!

PS - Everyone pretty much swarmed and took chunks out of the fish before it got to me.

Is this bokeh?

*cough* As i was saying, the fish was eaten before it got to me. The waiter set the fish down at the opposite end of the table top and by the time it spun to me, 4/5 of the fish was already gone.
