Rene11664880918 Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 <p>Good morning everyone! WOW! It feels strange to post at real time…. I'm mean, I am in Prague and it is WeDNeSDaY 09:10 in the morning here! <br /> Anyway, last night, after 20 hours of traveling I din't feel like taking any pictures and now it is a raining so I will use a shoot from couple of weeks ago. I just processed it coz I'm still way behind.<br /> I was visiting my costumer in Shiga Prefecture. I starting drinking with him very early in the afternoon so by 9 pm I was really drunk. I went to my hotel and slept really early. I woke up around 4:30 in the morning and when I looked out from my window this is what I saw. <strong>Biwa Lake</strong>. The largest lake in Japan. The tripod was in my car so I just reclined against the wall and braced myself at the window. This is the result.<br /> I hope is good enough for WeDNeSDaY thread! Cheers!</p> <p><strong>Per….</strong> Thank you for your words of support! You'll be the first one to get a deal on my equipment! :)</p> <p> </p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would never plan to only handhold a shot at night just illuminated by the moon with a slower lens.</p> <p >But that’s exactly what happened here. Good thing that the D300 has such good high ISO ability (My D700 is even better but of course it was home). I really like how the noise gave the photo a film grain look. If you didn’t know, and I removed the EXIF data I could almost convince you that it was film.</p> <p >The cloudy sky with a touch of fog completed the photo</p> <p >Mental note to self – buy smaller portable tripod to keep in car at all times.</p> <p ><a href="http://www.dpreview.com/previews/nikond300/">Nikon D300</a> <a href="http://nikonusa.com/template.php?cat=1&grp=5&productNr=2162">AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6G IF-ED</a> at 18mm</p> <p >Aperture-priority AE, 0.8 sec, f/3.5, ISO 3200</p> <p ><img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/9839359-lg.jpg" alt="" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcnilssen Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 <p><strong>René,</strong> if you're turning pro, you need the equipment yourself. I'm a cheapskate, so I would probably offer just a fraction of its worth! ;) ;)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouter Willemse Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 <p>Good morning everyone!<br> Another nice wednesday, and I can't wait to see what today will bring!<br> I've been sightseeing in Sicily this weekend and monday, and the D300 had its work cut out. This picture is from the Valle dei Templi, near Agrigento. The Concordia temple is one of the best kept Greek temples in the world.</p> <p><img src="http://www.ww-web.nl/images/wednesday/20090926_080.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p>D300, Tokina 12-24 f/4 @ 12mm, 1/500th and f/8, ISO200.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liljuddakalilknyttphotogra Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 <p>Well I'm ready...... kind of....<br> As some may know, I've been working on getting some candids over the Summer. All paying homage to Ton's amazing candids which has so inspired me. In August I got one shot of my sister's new man I really like. I've been wanting to present it as a B&W & Ton was sweet enough to share some of his pp techniques. Now I have to admit that from simply reading them I've established that I'm in line for a "CS3 for I*iots" or whatever the title is. I am completely lost in CS3. End of story.<br> Anyhow, thank you Ton for trying to help. It's all on me & a class in CS3 is in order for sure.<br> Anyhow, after making about 15 different versions of this one shot I'm presenting this version. It is no where near Ton's amazing candids, but Ton has inspired me to try something I normally shy away from & I hope to try to work more on.<br> Taken during a visit to Universal Studios I managed to catch Francis in a moment when he was no prepared, but ended up looking at me & smiling. I like this photo because I see so much character in this face.<br> So I'm at least trying - - -<br> Shot with the D700 & 24-70 f/2.8 at 70mm f/8 1/125s -2/3 EV.

jeannean_. Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 <p>Happy Wednesday! Seems we have a few "surprise" shots already that came out very well. Mine was also a surprise shot, since I was taking pictures of the flowers and the bee flew in with perfect timing. Best "in flight" shot I've ever done and didn't see it coming!</p> <p><img src="http://d6d2h4gfvy8t8.cloudfront.net/9842713-md.jpg" alt="" /></p> <p>D90/Sigma 150mm</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hamish_gray Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 <p>Taken on Monday afternoon. After work we went for a short walk up a local hill. Minus 2 degrees, storm winds and snow showers. Just a little reminder that summer is over, I guess. After taking 30 shots or so the filter on my lens was caked with snow.<br> D300 and 10-24 @ 10mm. F4.5, ISO 200, 1/400s.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lex_jenkins Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 <p>No time lately for recent photos. Too busy editing and archiving older photos. Found this one again from 2006, of my nephew Stewie in recovery from open heart surgery. I used Bibble Pro to edit those files. I overdid the noise reduction on that batch so the originals don't look so great. But resized for the web they're okay. I do like the muted colors and soft contrast from those Bibble edits, compared with the same batch done with Nikon Capture 4.x from that era.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mankuthel Posted September 30, 2009 Share Posted September 30, 2009 <p>Hello everyone..<br> A big thanks to everyone who commented on my pic last week. I haven't had a chance to reply to them but thanks anyway :)<br> I finally took the plunge and got myself a D3. My initial experience with the camera was mindblowing (coming from a D2x) but we'll leave that for some other time.<br> Although I haven't been able to get the best out of the camera yet, I did find an opportunity to take yet another picture of Tower Bridge last week.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
