yours looks better then mind =(

how the hell do you guys edit so well? photoshop?

 

Lighting is key. I took that maybe an hour ago while the sun was setting. The post processing I did really didn't change the photo much, just gave it that desaturated sepia tone. Oh and f/4 is a sweet spot with this lens.

 

thats good to know man, thank you bro. do you use photoshop too? i tend to use flickr's editing ____

 

Yeah I use PS for all my processing unless it's HDR which I don't really do anymore. I have Lightroom 2 as well but I don't like it as much.

 

i need to get PS your pictures come out amazing man, making me feel like crap LOL

i love this lens though

 

Lol I've been using PS since they were on CS and now they're on CS4 and I still don't know half of what it can do. The way I look at it is, PS is just a tool to bring out a mood in a photo. First and most importantly you have to get the photo itself right, then use PS to complete it so to speak. I'm not really into manipulation unless I'm cloning something out or replacing a sky, etc.

 

this^ and seriously I only really take pictures when the sun is rising or setting to get some really good natural lighting. Unless you have a flash, then anytime is good.

 

Hope you don't mind, but I'm a visual person so I wanted to show you what I'm talking about. Your photo has good composition, but the colors are kind of punchy and the dog's face is in shadow. I also cloned out some things in the foreground.

 

is this the 35mm you're talking about?
Canon EF Wide-angle lens - 35 mm - F/2.0
How did you guys learn about Depth of Field, I'm reading up on it but having trouble simulating it inside. Outside is easier, but I don't get that pop that most photos have. For example the DOF on the dog above.

 

We're talking about the Nikon 35mm f/1.8. Nikon has an equivalent to the one you posted but I don't know much about it besides being able to use it on full frame I think.

 

the canon 15mm fisheye is SUPA LOUD! No worries.

 

true that^ It actually scared me the first time it focused. lol

 

Thin dof

 

lens?

 

85mm at f/1.2

 

 

Best shoes ever.

 

^^ X2

 

nah i dont mind at all bro! i was actually wanting to ask you if you can edit it the way you do. idk why but my pictures always come out "punchy" indoors. IDK if its my settings? i always use manual settings. should i use my sb600? idk whats up with that.

 

Meh shot from the night that NJ flooded, same area rlo posted from.
