jose_angel Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 <p>We have received a summer advance this weekend, it was hot with the typical spring colors: flowers, green, water on rivers... this retrievers had fun in this stream.</p> <p>I`m posting this pic after some comments about the 50AFS sharpness at wider apertures; if I want to have shallow DoF with high sharpness I use to shot at f2.8, wider apertures will look a bit softer and there is a problem with focus... it could be really difficult to keep focus if the subject is not static. Exposure levels in this pic were almost perfect on the histogram, I only added a bit of masking contrast, a bit of darkening and unsharp masking. I think I should have increased saturation a bit, too. The full sized NEF looks really sharp after this processing.</p> <p>D700 @ 200ISO + 50/1.4AFS, 14bit RAW, f2.8 - 1/2000sec. All camera tricks off.</p> <p><em><strong>Please post your favourite pic if you like taken with Nikon gear, check your file size before posting, don`t forget to include gear info... as usual. Thanks.</strong></em></p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rene11664880918 Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 <p>HUH! Here the rose looks completely over exposed... It doesn't look like it does on NX2. </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmm Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 <p>Great start guys... Rene your rose is lovely, don't worry, and I hope your recent travels went very well... Trevor love the mood of your image.</p> <p>This is my last week of posting from my recent jaunts in the Middle East I promise, then I'll get onto some stuff I'm currently doing in a photo workshop which is really stretching me and making me learn more (and is also much more 'close to home' here in Sydney rather than of distant places).</p> <p> </p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hector_andrade Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 <p>Hello everybody<br> My picture was taking on the 17th of May, Norways national day. They have this tradition where high school kids in their last year made a parade (there are many parades that day). The theme for 2009 here in Tromsø where the last 5 decades. Here is a pic from the 80'...<br> Rene, I was about to ask if you used a flash to direct the light into the rose (I liked it a lot) and then you think you did a mistake? Come on!<br> Good work everybody! Gary, Bernard and Trevor's are my favorite so far. By the way Bernard, your sensor is not clean, but you probably have noticed it. Look at the spot to the right of the half moon, in the sky.<br> Cheers!</p> <p> </p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmm Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 <p>Hector - yes you're right, thankfully it cleaned off ok when I got home from this trip thanks to my trusty blower and a nervously-applied sensor pen. Thanks for your comment too. I'll cut out this blemish when I post-process this properly in NX2.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liljuddakalilknyttphotogra Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 <p>Jose - what a wonderful dog shot. Are those beauties yours?<br> Rene' your rose looks perfect & please tell Hideyuki hi from me. Better take him out photographing...<br> Gary - lovely tulip &,<br> I love the playful boy in Alejandro's photo as well.<br> Todd - that is one beautiful location. Neat photo you got.<br> Well I have only post processed a few from last weeks trip so I have to use one of them... I'm posting a photo from my sister-in-law's & brother-in-law's backyard in Port Angeles, WA. An American Robin in a flowering cherry tree. This is in honor of my sister-in-law for letting us stay with her (them) while we were there & since it turns out she would love a photo of a Robin in her cherry tree - this will be printed & mailed to her. ;)<br> D300 + 300mm AF-S f/4, Kenko 1.4 TC - hand held EXIFs embedded as always...<br> <img src="http://lilknytt.zenfolio.com/img/v1/p483121528-4.jpg" alt="" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawn_mcfarlane Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 <p>Since it's Bluebells time of year I thought I'd have a go at shooting some this week. For some reason I chose b&w for this colourful little plant.<br> D80 + 55mm f3.5 AI @ f5.6(I think), 1/40, iso 100, Chimp metering, tripod mounted</p> <div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
