Much better. I would still "straighten up" those buildings (perspective correction). After all, all buildings must be upright for the anniversary of 9/11!

freaksavior · Sep 9, 2011, 06:31 PM

Wow, looks much better in my opinion over the original.

I see what you mean, that's a quick fix I can do later when I get back home. Got wedding flowers to do today. Will post a shot or so later as well.

burtram · Sep 10, 2011, 08:26 AM

Well, now all the buildings are straight, but to do that, the neat building in the top right gets cropped out (I liked the light it had), but it's still a nice picture.

Here's some I took earlier today while doing some wedding flowers:

Both taken with the kit lens (18-70mm)

freaksavior · Sep 10, 2011, 03:39 PM

I'm not sure I like the last building missing but I see what you mean about them being straight.

For noobies who want to get a feel for the effect different settings like aperture priority, ISO level, etc have on the final pic, try the camera simulator. Please report back if you give it a shot.

Went to a little market get-together down at the waterfront today. There were boats!

There were a ton of jellyfish in the water, and they were hard to take pictures of

i think i have posted my pictures on the anime nation thread.

I'm using Canon G12

Sep 23, 2011, 03:30 AM

Who can recommend a good lens cap for Canon lenses - ones that have a lanyard. I keep misplacing the original Canon lens caps and it's getting on my nerves. Thanks.

AhokZYashA · Sep 23, 2011, 03:32 AM

and another one

G12, full manual control, ISO 80, 1", f2/8

DanishDevil · Sep 28, 2011, 05:16 AM

Man, that was a rollercoaster of emotions. You go from cute to gross to kinda creepy to beautiful.

I've gotta break the dSLR outta the bag and go take some shots. It's been too long.

Very nice shots by the way - what lens?

Thank you I'm glad you like them.

The one you really like was outside the park. It's part of the beartooth pass in Wyoming/Montana. It was really tricky because it was 8:00 in the evening so light was getting low and I was shooting into the sun. Somehow it turned out really well though.

I didn't have any trouble with my day at Yellowstone though. I was helped by a absolutely perfect day. The weather was beautiful with very few clouds and low humidity. I used a circular polarizer which I think really helped capture the colors.

DanishDevil · Oct 2, 2011, 09:41 PM

Cool shots, Polaris! One of them didn't [IMG] through, though.
