DSLR Shots and Discussions

Yeah, that reflection was a pain in my butt. I kept moving myself around to make it go away... In hindsight, guess I should have moved the light a little more to my right or had the model turn away from it a little bit. The glasses kept sliding off her nose. It was really humid that night! This was the best of them from that shot. The LCD on the camera is no match for your monitor when it comes to picking out details!

I've been working in the 5.6 to 8 range, but haven't been getting the detail I was looking for. I did turn the sharpening up in Lightroom (around +30) but I am always afraid to go too far with that.

Back to the drawing board to practice some more.
Thanks guys!

I think you are doing quite well.

Maybe I need a 5D Mark III and some L glass

Luna,

One thing I can say is don't be afraid of shadow.

Here's some 4th of July pictures from around Silver Lake in S.Everett, Wa where I live:

One half of a married couple I see all the time, they like to fish for trout in Silver Lake, haven't yet caught it on camera!

Haven't quite got the knack for taking shots at high noon...

Here's the view from my deck of my neighbors blowing up thousands of dollars, epic fail on one of the mortar shots!

Took a whole ton of pictures, here's where I've got more:

I like those quite a bit, Mr. Titan.

Red__Zed · 07-05-2012, 10:47 PM

those fireworks shots are insane.

didymus · 07-05-2012, 11:07 PM

Bought the cheapo tripod at walmart. At least it didn't fall over.

The last shot on the water is awesome, didymus!
