All pics in both of my posts were taken with a Canon A75. I did play around with the manual controls for a lot of my shots, I actually think most were taken with some sort of manual adjustments, for sure all the night shots were. I also took around a tripod with me, you'd be amazed by howm uch it can help with even indoor shots. I spent a ton of time taking pics, although like I said I spent am onth in Italy, about a week in each city I visted so I had time.

I do wish I had bought a better camera, but at the time I was a bit tight for cash and the A75 was the best camera I could afford but I'm happy with the pics.

I checked my exif data, it's exactly 2.5 second exposure. I mounted the camera on a tripod and did the timer delayed shutter release. Also have to remember that in daylight, it'll over-expose no matter what aperture you have it at, so I also have a circular polarizer filter to reduce the amount of light in (or use a ND filter).

I'd naver taken any classes or anything. Heck, my A75 was my first camera with any type of manual controls, heck it was my first camera with zoom! I just played around with it, with the settings in manual mode to see what results I would get. I actually enjoyed tryong to get interesting and good looking shots, although when you're in a city like Rome or Venice, it isn't that hard to take an intersting photo.

http://img53.echo.cx/img53/336/daytonight3jt.th.jpg (http://img53.echo.cx/my.php?image=daytonight3jt.jpg)

I've actually doing an assignment right now, a matte painting where I'm taking a still photo, turning it into a night shot and breaking it up into sections (done through Photoshop), adding motion to it to fake camera movement (done in After Effects) and then add rain (made in Maya). If it turns out well I might post it (in another thread).

I don't think it's possible for the D-510. It really depends on the camera. For example, my camera, the Canon Powershot A60, is a 2MP camera, but has a plethora of manual features, such as adjustable exposure.

Ya, I really gotta upgrade my Camera.. Thinking about that digital rebel xt, but >$1000 for a camera is a bit steep for something that isn't as portable as a point and shoot.

Any recommendations out there for a decent camera in the $500-$800 range?

That SD400 5MP digital elph looks really nice for just over $500.

Or the SD500 7.1MP for $600..

This Kodak site has some very quick and easy tips to use in your everyday photography (composition, photographing people, sports, etc). It has nice photo samples as well and covers all the basics. Definitely recommended as a starting point, but even some advanced users can browse through it to get some refresher tips.

Ferman, that stats on your old Olympus D-510 seems to only allow exposures from 1/2 sec to 1/1000 sec., with no shutter priority.

It is a real pain in the ass to carry around the dSLR, especially if you have a zoom lens plus a flash for it. But in the end, when you return from your big trip and see how much better your photos are compared to most P&S digicams, it makes it all worth it.

As for good cameras in the $500-800 range, definitely have a look at the Canon Powershot G series cameras. I'm an avid user of photosig.com and from all the photos that I've critiqued over the years, the only compact digicam that has photo quality that rivals dSLR is the Canon G's. It's not the best looking camera shape, nor the smallest, but the lens is what sets it apart from other compacts. Check out dpreview.com for full camera specs & samples.

For people posting pictures here from digital cameras, I would like to make a suggestion. If you don't have any programs that clean up pictures, go download Adobe Photoshop Album 2.0 Starter Edition, and use the 'Fix' feature it has for individual photos - and yes, it is free. It takes a few seconds to process your pictures and most of the time there is a noticeable improvement.

jb22, you can also try Panorama Factory to automatically stitch your shots together. It's very easy and has lots of fine control features as well.

I'll look that app up, but the problem is the angle of my photo's due to the distance away from my subject in relation to it's size cause some problems especiallu with the two photos at the end.

In can be done of course it would just take more time as I think it would have to be done by hand.

That snake eating the frog is wicked, btw. Excellent timing, but I wouldn't even have the guts to get that close to a snake!

Yeah, it was a telescope I have. The equipement is pretty straight forward, this website is the first page I found with a pic:http://www.telescopesales.co.uk/photo.htm

So that along with your standard telescope (ie. telescope and lens) and you're set. The lens drop into the adaptor and you put in on the telescope. The biggest challenge is exposure. My suggestion is to get a reading from taking a picture of a lightbulb...and work from there.

I wish I had a better copy of that picture on my computer, the resolution is acutally much better. But I'm glad you find it interesting.

I sort of deleted all my pictures on my physical HD, and I can't find the backup, so here's one of the few remaining. Taken on Mt. Rainier [go figure], at some 3000 ft up, or something.

I like it 'cuz of the unrealistic looking mountains in the distance, contrasting with a deceptive looking foreground. Original's 2048 x 1536, resized to 614 x 461.

Sony DSC-p72. Oldie, but goodie, I suppose. Psst. This isn't my best picture, but the only one I can find.

Anyone know of a good online guide to help newbies with setting things like exposure, white balance, f-stop...etc. I've been fiddling around with my A75 but I'm not really sure what I am doing. Any help would be great.

For example how would I get the train and sky properly exposed?

http://www.tienandkristen.com/Small-IMG_0217.jpg

To get both the train and the sky exposed in the picture so you can see both, you would probably have to use a flash, since the train would be so much darker than the sky. The alternative would be to take one picture exposed for the sky, and the 2nd picture exposed for the train and then merge them together in a photo editing program.

Photoshop's highlight/shadow adjustment tool is really handy. It can recover alot of shadow detail you may not have known was there before. But with digital, this may also make the noise alot more visible. If your camera has a raw setting, you can get a better result as well.

no problems with parents batting me on the head, yet i guess, its easier when you are taking pictures with alot of people you know around you, at least the parents would be reassured that your friends trust you

sometimes there are just those candid shots that seem perfect i guess, but yah, this is a recent issue with a lot of photographers, not just about candid shooting kids, but strangers as well

it's also easier if you provide your own photoblog website that you can give to the parents to reassure them :),

i dunno, if anyone has a problem with the last pic i'll take it down

Did u buy it in one of those jewellery/licquor/electronics stores?

My wife and I were served lots of ice cold Heinekens at a store like this, until our wallets were well lubed. :cheesygri

She came out with a pair of diamond ear rings and I bought my digital camera.

I got it at an electronics store that specialized in camera equipment. I went the other way the first time and went into those combination stores which seemed to have the same person running it. I think he was following me from store to store. :D None of those stores had it in stock though. I was depressed since I really wanted it so I went to the Guava Berry store and got myself a nice Guava Berry drink not knowing it was quite the alcoholic beverage. I dropped by the sunglass hut and picked up a pair of Oakley C wire polarized sunglasses since I wasn't going back to the ship empty handed. My friend then recalled this one store he went to when he was in St. Maarten for a week and there it was sitting on the top shelf, several brand new underwater cases. My friend and I picked it up just in time for the private island snorkling in Princess Cays. :D

Putting the case to good use during the Canada day weekend at Silent Lake campground.

I got a couple of good shots I've taken, especially from the SAQ fireforks event in MTL at La Ronde. They have countries compete with one another and last saturday it was Germany, I captured some photos using my Sony DSC-W1 (which lots of people seem to dislike but I like it personally..) Anyway, there were so much good shots IMO that I couldn't just post them up here without making this post 20 mb in size :lol: so I decided to put em up on my web site.

Goto http://www.photozip.net/images and let it load (flash gallery, loads in less than 3 seconds for me) and when it's loaded click on the "Main Menu" on top left. Afterwords, click on Fireworks, and finally La Ronde. blablalba. Your images should load in a thumbnail way first but you can have a bigger (not so bigger, I had to resize them to 640 for the website) view if you click on the image. If you guys have a perticular request for any image, I would be pleased to post it here or via a zip file for many images or even email them, I don't really care, this server has 120 GB of bandwitdh per month. Anyhow I got all these images at 5 MP quality so it's fantastic for wallpaper or even for printing a 8x10!

I believe most of the people here are already reducing the sizes so there's no need to belittle anyone. Another thing is making the image too small totally destroys the effect it was meant to portray. Plus, the image quality becomes horrible that it won't matter what camera you have anymore. You don't need a photoedit program to resize, that can be easily done in viewers like ACDSee.

Well :)
I decided to keep the gems for people that actually wanted to look around the gallery.

The pics were taken with my Digital Rebel and a Zoom, 35-200 Lens. No IS however. But the lens does its job. I've been taking pictures for years as you can see fromt he galleries, so i can hold it pretty steady.

My gf had the Olympus 5060C with the Wide Angle WCON lens. I absolutely love this camera, but for the close up shots, i had to use the Rebel.
Manual focus, thats it. Nothing else. Don't want to get too fancy and caught up in the settings to miss anything.

I'm sure this thread is meant for photo enthusiasts and most already know that there will be tons of pictures. With broadband you don't really have to wait at all to load pictures.

Also, ADCSee started off as a viewer and they just added the editor in the suite. I have been using it since it started as a viewer and to quickly resize/rotate large batches of pictures.

This thread is for showing off pics, let it be.

ACDSEE has had an editor within it's suite for a few years now....nothing new. Great program IMO...been using it it for 4-5 yrs, and think it's a great all-on-one if your demands are not too high in terms of post processing.....works for me.

Here's a favourite shot of mine, from resort owned by Chris Blackwell , who also owns Island Records. There's a recording studio across the road, where U2, AC/DC and the Rolling stones have recorded albums. The resort was gorgeous, quiet and secluded, it was 40 miles west of downtown Nassau.

The only lens I know that can take depth of field wierdness like that is a lens baby... but the quality of that shot is way better than a lens baby unless that shot was taken on a 1DsMkII and cropped way down.

Actually, that pic was just changed to B+W and added a soft focus using Google's Picasa 2. Just a little experimentation of mine. Here's the original picture.

Here are some pics from my trip to Cuba in September. I finally got around to getting these printed so I'd though I'd share some here, especially since the weather is getting colder! Funny thing is that it was so hot while we were down there that when I first brought my camera out after leaving our room which had the AC turned on, was that my lens would start to fog up inside. At first this freaked me out as I though I wasn't going ot be able to toake clear pics but after leaving it for a few minutes it all cleared up.

that is some serious drool., and eye crud man.

love it when they're sleeping.

Hey...about RESIZING.

most all software programs have a resizing utility, if not ALL programs have a capacity to resize the picture (though it's not really a noob-friendly method).

You just manually select resize, and enter the dimensions you want in pixels/cm whatever.

for example go into MS PAINT, IMAGE/STRETCH/SKEW...or simply ctrl-w. But if you have for example microsoft image composer which comes with I believe the office programs, it has a built in auto feature.

edit/resize image-email large/med/small internet large/med/small it's nice.

The shot I took of my glorious leader twenty five years ago:

http://www3.telus.net/public/alexlind/jc01.jpg

This is such an excellent picture. Looks like a movie still. Everything, from the quality to the expressions you captured are remarkable.

What's the story behind this one? How did you get there, how were you involved and get this shot?

Here is one my dad took of Charles...

http://resolution.negimaki.com/pixelpost/images/20050916113925_charles.jpg

He posted a short note with this image on his page about how he got this shot.

Even as an undergrad I always carried a camera. One day I showed up at University to find the entrance blocked by a crowd. Irritated, I pushed my way through and bumped into a guy getting out of a limousine and shaking hands with our university president. I grabbed my camera and took this picture.

As he walked toward the entrance burly men pushed back the crowd and I realized this was my opportunity to get in the building and to the library where I needed to revise for exams. As soon as we were in the entrance it dawned on me that perhaps this fellow was going somewhere more interesting than the library so I tagged along.

As I followed into a reception hall I was handed a glass of exceptionally good sherry by a man who said, �jolly nice day isn�t it.� I smiled and agreed. I was treated to really really nice salmon and cucumber sandwiches, all sorts of delightful cakes and of course several more glasses of sherry � this truly was �jolly good day.� The only people who did not seem jolly were the burly men who I noticed were carrying guns under their jackets and were looking oddly at my faded blue jeans and running shoes, which I must admit were a little out of place. Sipping just one more sherry, and stuffing a few of the last sandwiches in my empty undergrad pockets, I decided it was time to leave.

This is a really good shot... Would have been even better if you got the cake and her in focus and everyone else in the background out of focus... But you caught a good moment and good background subjects... Makes you feel like you can look at that pic and know what it would have been like to be in the room right at that moment.

For the top one, it was:
75mm (122mm for 35mm equivalent)
25 second shutter speed
f/4
ISO 200

The bottom one:
28mm (46mm equivalent)
25 seconds
f/5
ISO 200

By having a long shutter duration, I was able to get the red in the fog (from the street lights), and have that nice streak with the car. I just got the Rebel XT on Friday, and so far, WOW, its been totally worth it. Here is one more:

And yes, for lenses, the top one was a Canon 75-300mm 4-5.6 II (the cheapest 75-300). And the bottom one was just the Rebel XT kit lens (18-55mm 3.5-5.6). Tripod was also essential of course.

Sunset was at 4:25pm. I missed that unfortunately. I got there at like 4:35.

Top pic was taken at 5:48. Bottom one at 5:31. I find that if you do long exposure after sunset, you get some nice looking colours in the sky. For example:

I was using ISO 200... to reduce the noise.

I usually use f8 at ISO 100 for the least amount of noise. At 6s, I already get close to overexposed areas in this picture. ISO 200 or f5 would have definitely blown out for sure.

What is it that you have? 500mm? or 300/400 with teleconverter? It looks pretty good... The sharpness is just a teeny weeny bit off. :razz: Definitely not something I can do with my settings though. Impressive shot

I have a Tamron SP500mm mirror lens with a 2x TC. Paired up with my cam's 2x crop factor, the 35mm equivalent would be 2000mm. I haven't done any post processing on the pic so it's decent for an old lens. Mirrors are specially known to be on the softer side. It cleans up quite nicely with some sharpening though. :)

The Olympus extension tube allows me to use AF but that doesn't have anything to do with the metering. You should not have any issues with it. Metering is done by the camera so it should properly meter the amount of light coming in.

I have an old manual 50mm f1.8 which I used before I got my 50mm f2.0 and it metered correctly.

excellent! why i ask is, 3rd party TC converter tend to give in camera meter problems, great that this problem does not apply to tubes!

With 3rd part TC's there's an extra glass there so the quality of the glass definitely affects the performance. A tube is just air so it won't affect anything.

sad...:( I'm so bummed man...Honestly...lol I dont' know what to do with this beheamoth...not much of a gamer...and with a newborn and a 2yr old already, I rarely watch a whole movie on the comp nemore lol.

I think I would just have a multiple repeated attack of anginas if I actually had the balls to spend all that money on a 2405 hehe.....one of these days though....in about 50 years lol.

honestly though...did it shock your system when you scrolled down, and figured out you were looking at pics at naked resolutions! hehe...dunno if I would even have the nerve to do something like that up in here....or anywhere for that matter lol.

Hey, it works great minus one thing i'll tell you at the end.

Awesome bag, a bit big for carry-on under your feet in a plane, can fit all my lenses and stuff inside..(crammed)

The only gripe is that the zippers on the camera hole, have these plastic end-caps, which if you aren't carefull and only grab the plastic, you'll pull it right off the rope.. and then you have no pull-thing. But there are to zippers that meet, so you only really need one to work!

i dont think the 300mm w/o stabilizing really qualifies as "super" telephoto...but no one asked or questioned me bringing the camera in...i was just told to not use the flash for obvious reasons...but then again the center is nice and bright so there wasnt really a need.....awesome game...unfortunately a lot of my other pics came out somewhat blurry...i guess I have to work on the whole get-rid-of-hand-shake...out of curiousity...does anyone know of a cheap-ish wideangle lens for the Nikon cameras? Doesnt really need to be a zoom lens, fixed length would work too....after seeing the above pictures I really want one :P

Actually, I think around 250mm and up is considered "Super" Telephoto. Like the lenses on here: http://www.europepress.com/lenses/nikon_super_tele_lenses.htm

You should check out www.fredmiranda.com for their classifieds. There's a lot of people from Canada that visit that site and sell their gear.

THIS IS AMAZING... HOW DO YOU DO THIS ON SD500 CANON?

Just use the built in Stitch Assist function. This helps you take images that overlap properly for stitching. Also, make sure to rotate the camera and not your body.

A couple from last week.

Wow, how did you remove those people :eek:

They are two different pics. The OP is pulling your leg. Look at the fountain (water), the splash is discernable. The first pic, the people are there, the OP waited until they left the frame, and re-snapped the image.

The seats were 4th row not counting the courtside seats. I believe they were around $150 each. I called the Raptors fan services ahead of time and they didn't care what camera I brought. So I brought along my DSLR with the 11-22mm and 50-200mm lenses. I was shooting away with the 50-200mm mostly and was never bothered by security.

I walked the same beach in January :)

Here are some pics from my trip to Cuba in September. I finally got around to getting these printed so I'd though I'd share some here, especially since the weather is getting colder! Funny thing is that it was so hot while we were down there that when I first brought my camera out after leaving our room which had the AC turned on, was that my lens would start to fog up inside. At first this freaked me out as I though I wasn't going ot be able to toake clear pics but after leaving it for a few minutes it all cleared up.

Shot with my Minolta Maxxum Htsi plus 35mm Film SLR and Minolta AF 28-80mm 3.5-5.6D lens on Fuji Colour ISO800 film.
The camera was set to aperture priority @9.5.
I had it processed at Loblaws photolab then scanned in using my Epson CX4600 AIO printer and then changed to greyscale.

Nice picture but it's just a tad overexposed. A faster shutters speed will probably still give you the same water effect and expose it a bit better.

Great job on converting it to BW! It works well and I think has better atmosphere than the colour version.

Trying out some macros on my DSLR for the first time. Tough in natural light because it is a compromise between depth of field and camera shake. Cant use flash or sunlight because of shadows. Is the answer to get a ring flash that goes round the lens? I am quite pleased with the coke can considering the varied distance from the lens

I have 10x optical zoom. :D But I was standing pretty close to it. It didn't seem scared at all. University campus squirrels are like that. They're not afraid of people really. Eventually it did run off though...but I managed multiple shots.

I took it at my friend's cottage. We used to feed the chipmunks all day so they'd come around quite often. All i did was zoom in (even tho my camera only has 3x zoom).

As for the camera, it wasn't anything fancy - my old Olympus D560 :)

I took a couple photos of a few of the Emmys my current place on emplyment has won over the years, along with other awards but the Emmys look the most impressive. A few of the people I work with are going to New Yerk this weekend for the awards so maybe they might have to make some more room on that shelf.

Awesome stuff! Goodluck with the awards show! ;)

Well I just started a couple of months ago and am a junior so I've only been doing the grunt work so far - although if the every give an Emmy out for rotoscoping I should be a shoe in!!! Although I've been asked to come up with some concepts for some sports related graphics work so it's my chance to move up!

And just in case you're wondering, the studio I work at is a broadcast design/motion graphics studio, we do a lot of work for CHUM, ABC, HBO, usually sports related (except for CHUM, that usually Much Music stuff). Pretty cool stuff created by some very talented people - I consider myself lucky and a little over my head!!!

Not technically. Bokeh and OOF are often confused to be the same, but they are not. Bokeh is sort of like the quality or description of the OOF regions

im always confused with photo terms....so it's OOF...

what's OOF (object, out, something, focus?)

NDman

May 3rd, 2006, 02:23 PM

Oops, slight edit on the previous post. Sorry.

OOF = out of focus

Bokeh describes the quality of the out of focus regions. A nice Bokeh means the in-focus area diffuses nice and smoothly to the background (OOF areas). But in bad Bokeh, you can see the clear boundry (instead of a diffusive effect) between the just in-focus area and the OOF area

GunnerX

May 3rd, 2006, 02:48 PM

Glad you guys like the pics. :) No PS was done to the shots. I added the borders to make them look pretty. The camera used is an Olympus E300 with a 50-200mm lens. The shot with the blue flower was taken at 200mm, f5.6, 1/250s @ 100ISO.

The proper term actually is DOF or Depth of Field (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_of_field). This determines the focus and out of focus areas based on the aperture.

I should have taken my Camera to the bottom of the falls but I was afraid it would get wet. What a joke that place is in the winter. They closed off the lower outdoor area so there wasn't much to see. Luckily I got a package so I didn't pay that much for it. Took this with my Z600 phone. :D I need a new phone with a better cam.
I was worried too when I took this 3-4 years ago. I ended up bracing the challenge and took it down. Nothing happened. Whew. Don't have a good scanner though so the quality looks kind of iffy (Reala 100). It was taken at around 7-8 pm early summer, on a slight overcast day

NICE!!! The slow shutter actually looks quite good with that shot. When I went in May, it was a dreary, cold and rainy day. I would probably go back sometime this summer and hopefully the terrace would be open. My Lenses are weather sealed so water is not an issue but my camera is not. I guess I should bring a plastic bag to cover it with. :D

Just a regular keychain LED. I used my hand and started at the bottom with the lightsource facing downwards. This way, my hand isin't seen in the pic (plus my brown which makes it less likely to show up ;)

A technique they call "Painting with Light". One cool test is to setup the camera for long exposure at night with a lot of dark areas. Then walk around with a flashlight and shine it on the dark areas to illuminate them. You can even use various colours for some cool effects. :) With long exposures, you don't have to worry about being part of the scene if you are moving around.

You can test this out by getting a Neutral Density filter. You will be able to do long exposures in bright daylight and make a very busy street look totally deserted.

Here's another facing the same direction, except a bit more to the right, later at night, when they had a Ferris wheel there. This one was about 2 years ago I think. I left the shutter oopen for a minute on the tripod, and got this nice effect:

Heyas,

Thought I'd add a few of my recent macro's, they're not great by any means, I'm still a learning macro photographer. These were taken with a Panasonic FZ-30 using a Nikon 4t close-up filter (until my raynox comes in :) ). I was too lazy to manually resize the pictures so this is photobucket's resizing which kinda sucks.

truly everyone is decent enough xs.to imageshack blah blah blah.

What I like about photobucket, and pictiger, is they will let you organize your pics into folders.

Then also if you have multiple uploads you can browse for all the pics on the same page., rather than doing 1 pic>browse/upload., then repeat for X pictures that you have. What I would love to find is a hoster that has an explorer EASY UPLOAD UTILITY., to simply allow me to dragNdrop or the like...something like what most upload photo print stores give you.

Another nice thing I like, is that say in a folder you have 20 pics., and you want to post 5 of them. Well you just click those five., and click GENERATE CODE., next page comes up and you just copy the one block with all the pics generated. IT'S WICKED!

Two different churches (i believe the 2nd one is a church as well)

1st one is in Fira (Santorini), Greece
2nd one is in Mykonos, Greece

Doubt they're made of ice...they paint most/all their houses white to attract tourists!

I actually like the lower F stop number as the blurred background pulls your attention towards the main subject (the girl walking her dog). If I would change anything it would be a more creative crop.

We actually got some really nice pics with a canon P&S as well...we use the manual mode (change ISO/white balance). Although i remember on the Canon A70 that i had (died after warranty expired) had a full manual mode; granted, aperture was limited to 2.8 to 8.0

the unedited picture in a sense is more natural

eg. the second pic: the colour of the sea looks completely different after editing...so which is the genuine colour? it also affected the colour of the reflection off the ship

and i think the edited makes it too bright imo although it does make the picture look more professional :lol:

but then i'm not a believer of any post digital editing...

but then i'm not a believer of any post digital editing...

Thanks for letting me know. I am using a laptop primarily and there's really no way to calibrate the monitor's brightness as I change it all the time (depending on the room lighting). I will look into investing in a monitor rather than more lenses and flashes first.

I am very new to DSLR photography and especially with my camera, Nikon D70s, the pictures straight out of the camera tend to look rather bland straight out of the camera. There's just so many settings that are possible to change that its easy to mess up an exposure. That's where the RAW image format and Photoshop come in.

In regards to the original water colour in the cruiseship picture it would probably be more like the original unedited picture; however, with so many settings that are possible to change in DSLR photography it might be slightly different from shot to shot.

What's wrong with taking pictures towards the sun? My favourite pictures have the sun in them making for a really elaborate effect. I will post some pictures later today of what I mean.

There are several issues with shooting towards the sun.

1. Getting the proper exposure.
Most of the foreground and objects will be underexposed while the sun and bright areas will be over exposed so not much details can be seen.

2. Lens Flare.
Some might find this a cool effect but most will find this annoying.

3. Sensor Damage.
Other than sunrise/sunset images, intense sun can cause damage to the sensor if used too much.

Number 1 hit the spot for Ak-47s pic

"1. Getting the proper exposure.
Most of the foreground and objects will be underexposed while the sun and bright areas will be over exposed so not much details can be seen."

The white glob on top becomes the focal point for your eyes.

If you are very comfortable with what your camera / and lens can do, by all means take pics towards the sun. You can always correct some of the details...but AK-47 is a believer of non-photoshopping.

Sunrise and Sunsets are very tricky to capture properly. With a Pan and Scan camera, you will need to metre the scene properly. If you aim the camera at the sky, the foreground areas will be too dark. If you aim it at the ground, the sky will get too bright and will not look the same. Finding the midway point will be quite tricky and will come easier with practice.

It's easier to do this properly with a DSLR or a camera with more manual features. It takes quite a bit of practice to get it right. Here's a couple of examples I took near my house.

Sunrise and Sunsets are very tricky to capture properly. With a Pan and Scan camera, you will need to metre the scene properly. If you aim the camera at the sky, the foreground areas will be too dark. If you aim it at the ground, the sky will get too bright and will not look the same. Finding the midway point will be quite tricky and will come easier with practice.

It's easier to do this properly with a DSLR or a camera with more manual features. It takes quite a bit of practice to get it right. Here's a couple of examples I took near my house.

And here's one with the foreground showing while keeping the sky in check.

Nice sunset/sunrise there! I think I know the area in Markham. Is it on 16th Avenue and McCowan? Or somewhere near there? Cause I remember a manmade pond in that area.

I assure you it was very much alive. :) I find dragonflies second only to spiders in their patience for my photography and I found that even if I did disturb it to fly off for a little bit it would usually just circle around a bit and return to the same spot it was sitting before. The area is pretty marshy and for some reason I find the dragonflies there very cooperative unlike my backyard ones that never sit still.

I know nothing about entomology unfortunately because I think it's something I would find interesting. I like macro photography in relation to insects very fascinating especially when it reveals detail you can't see with the naked eye. It's by far my favorite type of photography. Unfortunately detail is lost in the resizing, none of these photos are cropped so the originals are all in 3264x2448 res. and especially the close-up of the face really shows a ton of detail that just can't be seen in these 1024x768 resizes.

Just to emphasize though, I did not kill this poor dragonfly, he's still happily flying around eating mosquitos.

It's true, most people who aren't into photography always ask the same question. It's fine though, we probably asked the same thing at one time or another. It really is a combination of the tool and the user.

With that being said, I used a variety of lenses with Canon 20D and Rebel XT.

Yup it was taken at the Toronto Zoo. Your shots came out very nice as well, I like your tiger one the most!

The FZ-5 seems like an awesome camera. I've been thinking of getting something similar for travelling for a while now. It seems much more convenient than having to lug around a bunch of lenses :D

I actually just sold my FZ-5 to upgrade to a 350D with a couple of lenses. Much better for indoor and portraits, but you cannot touch the conveniance of a pocketable 420mm reach with IS at less than $500. If I didn't have an SD500 as well, i'd grab the FZ-7 for those times where I need the reach and don't want to lug the lenses around...The FZ30 is much more capable with the manual focus ring, but the size is about the same as a DSLR...

Here's some of my fireworks from Canada Day. To make it easier for posting online I merged them into one graphic.

http://gerrydavid.smugmug.com/photos/79194626-L.jpg
Much larger version (http://gerrydavid.smugmug.com/photos/79194626-O.jpg)

These were taken with my film camera, some professional kodak film *thanks to kodak.com's free giveaway 2 years ago, they have been in the freezer ever since*, iso 100, and I used a few aperature settings. The first 3rd or so was around F16 I think, the middle bunch was around F8 and the last 3rd was around F11. I didnt keep detailed notes so im not sure exactly what is what.

I also took some with my digital camera but I shouldnt have tried using my night mode setting *I figured the focus would be set to infinity, but I didnt count on it using the largest aperature available*. I shoulda stuck with aperature priority, live and learn. :0)

Not bad could be handy sometimes.

I dont usually mind doing the code by hand for forums, but the above pictures were scanned from the 4x6's, so the full size quality isnt all that great. So I didnt plan to leave them in the regular part of my website. If they were from digital or if I can ever get my hands on a good negative scanner, Ill probably leave the good ones in my fireworks section *I think I still have that on my site*

With all due respect, Derek must be taking a significant bandwidth hit when someone replies Love the zoo pics! ;) and then copies in all 9 photos again, which can easily be found 6 inches north.

Well bandwidth really isn't too much of an issue these days is it? I get 1TB/month bandwidth and all I pay is $10/year. Sorry for including the pictures in my quote if bandwidth was an issue for Derek.

But why would this thread be locked? I enjoy coming back to this thread every day to see the new pictures that everyone has.

SENSEI... how do you add the border and your name to the photos??

I used photoshop to do it.
I'm using CS2 right now, but I 'm sure you can do it with most photoediting software.

Just create mulitple layers, fill them in.
I recently made a brush with my signature to stamp as it's much easier than the borders/frames. I don't really do that anymore...takes up too much time.

Be careful with posting pics of minors on the internet.
Although everyone around your neice is slightly blurred from your zoom blur effect, there have been some known cases of parents being upset from their kids' pics being posted on the internet without their permission.

Just to keep you updated since you're new at this... :lol:

EDIT: These are more young adults, but still under 16 nonetheless...most of the problems I've heard of are with posting underage girls without permission (in the 2-10 age range)

That btw., is my cousin...not me....it is however my son :D.

I walked around the fair a week ago Sunday, and it was rather boring looking. There was like 4 or 5 times more food vendors than rides, or thats how it seemed to me.

And it cost me $5 to park in Dick Bell park, even though the fair was in AHP, go figure.

Those were excellent shots, but I wish you had used a tripod.

LOL i bet you most of these pics are taken from google=P

...i highly doubt that...but i have all my pics on my harddrive.

second comment about a tripod.

The lightning pics were taken with a tripod. If i wanted to get detail...i would get a longer exposure but i would miss the lightning.

If i wanted to capture the lightning...i would miss the detail on foreground.

Unless i merge photos...that's the only way i know of...but i will be reading more about it.

plus...the winds on my balcony (32flr) was insane while there was lightning...i spent 1 hrs outside..and im lucky just to get 2 shots

yep I saw crazy horizontal lightnight bolts for a good 30mins - 3 hours last night.

Very hairy. Also lost power for 16 hours :( Kids weren't happy, and I think I went into RFD withdrawals.

Anyone know what those little black bugs are with the ant? They were packed on every thistle out there and had ants following them around. The little black guys didn't move much and the ants would just climb over them.

And my favorite from today (but it looks a lot better in 1600x1200 well I guess they all do):

What camera were you using and what lense? thanks

I was using a Panasonic FZ30 and a Raynox DCR-250 Close-Up filter and occasionally a fill flash.

those shots are really impressive. i didn't know macro lens filters were capable of results like that!

care to share any tips? bugs are hard to photograph especially when in motion...or did you kill it first (re: dragonfly)?

They were all alive, it just takes patience I guess, those dragonflies were really little, they seem to sit still better than the bigger ones. So it's just a matter of finding one that'll tolerate a camera being shoved in it's face. Spiders almost always seem to hang around long enough to have thier picture taken especially if they are on their web.

The macro filters work great and you can get them in different strengths. They do however have a very shallow depth of field and the more you zoom in the more shallow that depth of field becomes. So usually I just zoom so I have the depth of field I want, then just move the camera towards and away from the subject until I get the final focus I'm after. The real key is to just take tons of pictures because maybe like 1 out of 20 will turn out pretty good. Those ones I posted are the only good ones out of maybe 150 pictures I took. Keep a high aperature setting and the fastest shutter speed you can manage is probably the best way to go. My camera allows for manual focusing which helps out sometimes as well.

In the end it just comes down to patience I guess. By far the hardest thing is getting use to the depth of field, with the Raynox lens I used in most of those pictures the depth of field at full (12x) zoom is so shallow that if I have a spiders eyes in focus, it's mouth and jowels won't be, so you have to back off the zoom a bit. With the Nikon lower powered one I can usually go full zoom if I need it and have a decent enough depth of field. I have two close up filters the lower powered one (nikon) was I think $70 and the higher powered one (raynox) was $80 if I remember right.

Hope this helps,
T

I just realized how physically demanding being a catcher is.

My knees would crap out after 1 inning. Plus I'd be paranoid as HECK the Umps hands would slide down a bit south. yeeeeeeeeeeesh.

Best way to practice being an MLB catcher is to hover over a port-o-poty.

Well, considering the lowest paid player in baseball makes about $300,000 US per season, and most are millionaires, I'd get over that paranoia pretty quick, if I was getting paid that much. Small price to pay for having the ump accidentally rub his nutsack on your back every now and then.
