johnmarsden Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Peter I love the picture of the couple doing portraits Todd – nice undercover shot. If you mask the sky (Easy with the magic wand and a bit of feathering) you can then deepen the sky if you want to and still brighten the face. Tom – you do go for some lovely walks. I like the second picture most Adam – well done with your first engagement. And third time lucky with photonet. @Garry – the sun had risen about an hour ago, so it was still quite low in the sky and I was shooting at about ESE (The sun goes around to the North in Australia) So the sun is slighty off to the left. No filters and exposure as delivered by Pentax! I was however only half awake and I had left the iso at 640 – Every night I put my camera to high iso before bedtime – sort of weight training for sensors, so as to have less noise the next day. ;~} Oddly I had remembered to clean my front element to minimize lens flare. I was tired though 'cos it was the night we lost an hours sleep and I presume you guys all got an extra hour, which is why all your pictures are so crisp, sharp and happy. And not shot at iso 640 – I ask you who sets a camera to iso 640? – I hadn't even been drinking.... John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaloot Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Garry, your shot of your daughter, the "emerging" photo, my favorite one! I like the mood of the photo, her expression, the mist, everything! Nicely done! And there are some really neat fall photos coming through from the rest of you lot, and I'm looking forward to seeing more... I took a few yesterday but havent had anytime to post here... or for that matter my shots from honeymooing in mexico... aarrghh... catching up with reality... sigh...

I could select with the wand with a bit of feathering, but didn't know make it so I could edit the face and leave the sky alone that way.. And if I tried to darken the color it got really weird looking.. So I just copied the sky over from the unedited shot to the edited shot and did it that way for now.. It's a hack job but better than nothing... I was so focused on trying to get results with the eys that I didn't realize until you mentioned the sky that it was a greenish color..<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaophotography Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Great shots everybody! I guess I'm a little late this week. I tried to get some shots of fall, but the colors had not changed enough for some really good landscapes. So, I settled with what I got. BTW Todd, how do you get such good skin color? When I try, my people look either dead, or like they have some really high blood pressure. Here's my attempts at Autumn, hope you like them.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

todd_phillips3 Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Jon, if it's good, I don't know how I did it. Wish I did! Your reflections shot is especially wowsome! Markus my favorite of yours is the lovers shot! What an incredible eye you have! Justin you hit your shots out of the park of course... Garry, your emerging shot is awesome. So well done. I really like your farm house shot Ben. Very interesting processing. Nick I really like your gaggle shot.. What a sight! Peter all of your shots are wonderful, and the statue shots wow me the most. John great surf shot. The sense of scale is really nice. Nice shots Hin, and the first one is especially impressive for it's focus/dof Bob you get the prize in my book. Each of your shots are so good! I love the otter hole shots Tom. What a magical place and captured so well. Ronny I'm diggin the orbs shots. I like the daytime version best. Awesome composition.

duane_mills Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Hey everyone, I've been swamped with work 7 days a week for almost a month now and have been getting discouraged at not having the opportunity to get out and capture some interesting images. This weeks thread is once again another winner with solid contributions by all and quite a few amazing shots. Unfortunately I won't have time to comment on all of them at the moment but here are a few that really stood out: Todd - "Bluedified" - beautiful eyes, great editing. Tom - "Otter Hole II" - composition, lighting, color, Wow! That is one completely stunning capture. Ryan - "frosty morning" was well worth getting up early for. I like it. Kudos. Andrew - your first attempt at commercial work is a keeper. Well done. Garry - "Co-conspirators" is a delightful candid. That's a special moment to capture. Jon, Adam, Bob, Hin, Dave, Peter, Nick, Ben, Jamal, Javier, Justin, Markus and Brendon, excellent photos by all. It seems that each week the group sets a higher standard. Not having time to shoot this past week - I'll have a look through some photos from the past couple of years and maybe post a "Pentaxian's best non-Pentax shots" thread later today. I do have a few Canon photos that are fairly decent from the days before I upgraded to Pentax. Cheers to all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abe_hollander Posted October 13, 2008 Share Posted October 13, 2008 Whoa. Jon? Whoa. THAT'S NEAT. I had a 3-day weekend, so I hope this still counts... shot this today, of the U.S.S. Constellation, the last existing American Civil War-era naval vessel and was one of the last sail-powered warships built by the US Navy (built in Portsmouth, VA, now docked in Baltimore, MD).
