Loving the rig shot. Nice work

 

Post processing is the other half of the battle when it comes to photography... It's all about the setup before the click, and the process after the click. You shoot in RAW? You got nice gear though.

 

Thanks!

 

sup Jeremy

nice shots as always

 

Yo wassup Don

insomnia ftl.. so i decided to come back onto SL after like... 3 years hhaha

 

hahahaha

shots look good man...

i need to redrill some of the holes on my rig

 

Here's a couple more, one is hdr, I know some like some dont.

 

critique and comments please

 

shots look great Chipz, that first xB is HOT as well as the 2nd. The HDR is nice but seems really COLD in hue.

 

AHAHAAHAHAHAAH

 

Chip - HDR looks fine. You were able to avoid the haloing which is good.

Sushi - I'm kinda lost in terms of what your focus is in this photo. What lens did you shoot with? Maybe consider shooting with a faster lens so you can isolate your subject and bokeh everything.. try a 50 f/1.8 if you have one. Colors look good.

 

i shot with a nikor 55-200mm

 

what is the subject of the photo? we can't tell what we're supposed to be looking at...its entirely too busy

 

i was getting a pic off the flowers of the peach tree that were blossoming

 

yeah i told him to prepare for comments and critique but it was all to help him.

he is shooting with a 55-200 and he was all the way at 200mm so i think it was just soft from being at the end of the range on a cheaper lens.

 

Haha it's okay for comments and critiques.. if you can look at them as not being personal, you can only become a better photographer.

Anyways, at the 200 end, i believe it's a 5.6 on the nikon? i'm not too familiar with their gear. but yah, that would explain why everything is in focus so to speak.

my suggestions would be to get closer to the subject.. i realize that might be hard because it's up in a tree, but the more you reduce the length between FOV and subject, the more bokeh and isolation you can get... even at f/5.6.. which you might want anyways cause then your DOF will be pretty thin at 200mm

 

nice thanks itzjere

 

no problem.. keep practice.. maybe look into getting the 50 f/1.8... it's a pretty cheap lens.. usually under $100.. good focal length and a fast lens which can allow for a lot of creative use. here's a flower picture i took with my 50 f/1.8.. isolation like this is what you want.

 

nifty fifty is awesome

 

just so u guys know he doesn't know what aperture and shutter speed do yet. so u'll have to explain to him pretty much the basics on using them.
