revolver Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 awesome pictures People. Jay, I love the rainbow in the fountain. even with my new 18-250MM lens I found no time to shoot this weekend. instead I mowed the lawn and we opened the pool. I enjoyed it with the Wife and Kids. I did take a few shots with the Kodak P&S I have. I got a great shot of the wife backing into the pool off the ladder but I think she would be pissed if I posted it....LOL she got one of me so I will post that instead<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewg_ny Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Another week of nice work all around. Steve, like the lightning shot. A silver lining to lousy weather. Mis, wondering about that sort of dark halo around in your b/w silhouette shot, particularly around the workman on the right--is that a post-processing artifact? I've sometimes seen similar effects from LR's 'clarify' slider. Alisa, I think I'd like to see the 'maters with more contrast--not sure which of the two is a better starting point.

shots worth sharing Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Clark, I really like that shot--really effective use of a wide-angle! Bob, I'm really looking forward to your Tetons photos. Javier, you're a wise man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd_phillips3 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 All great shots as usual! I really like your new lens Javier..Great shots. O Shiva's your shots really stand out as well. Very nice... As for me I only took a few snapshots this week.. I was busy mattress shopping...<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duane_mills Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 O Shiva, your first photo is my favorite this week. Drawing the eye to a natural sky with modern architecture like that is amazing. Javier, the train shot is great, I like the way one engine is approaching and the other is leaving. Here are a few from me, both were taken from a walking trail that begins about 500 meters from my house.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
duane_mills Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Here's the second shot, it's just ducky.... Both shots were taken with the DA 50-200mm.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bob_marz Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Dave, hope I get a few good shots from the tetons, Yellowstone, or Glacier National Parks. Anyways I did get out fishing the other day. Hope you like the shot.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snik75 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Hi Lisa! Nice 'Maters, I vote for the first as well. Although maybe the second with more contrast and then lighter as you're able, as Andrew suggested? We've picked a few strawberries, but too rainy out to shoot them. Unless I buy some weather-sealed equipment... and a lightning proof hat. Maybe not just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hagar Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 </center>Mis: Artsy fartsy becomes you.. I like that b&w shot, with all the trimmings :-)<br> Lisa: Those are good 'maters.. I think a bit of pp will make them pop out a bit more.. look forward to when they actually get nice and red :-) <br> Duane: I have so many good photos with that lens.. the chipmunk is cute.. but the duckies are really cute with the ripples in the water.<br> Dave: Is that a self portrait? Very well done.. the red becomes you .. lol<br> Nick: Pretty Iris.. it'll be gorgeous when it opens.<br> Bob: Not sure Ray Charles was into fishing.. but if that's who you say it is .. I believe you! <br> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes and no. There was some shadow on the glass, cast by the workers, and with the high contrast it becomes more apparent. I actually played around with it trying to create a marked halo effect (using the 'clarity" slider in ACR, like you pointed out), but in the end I left it as it is so as not to upset the rest of the frame. Haig, I'm too artsy fartsy for my own good. Dave, I would never call my prospective foster father old ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miserere_mei Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Duane, I think you've won the <i>Cutest Photos of the Week Award</i>. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frygge Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Last week was a busy one. I received no less than a ME super, 31mm Limited and a Vivitar 70-150mm f3.8. In addition to having final exams. Not easy to study when a brand new 31mm stands before you in all its glory :-) Mis: You and me both on B&W high contrast photos. Love it. O Shiva: Great as always. You must be king of DOF. Good luck tonight against the World Champions. I root for Orange. Javier: Polarizers do add saturation don't they :-) Then again, who gets enough of blue blue skies (Unless you live in California, of course) Duane: Your ducks rival Javier ducks. Cute as candy. Alisa: Nice maters. You could fry'em now or wait till they're red and juicy. Dave: That thing has to affect the mileage :-) Fun shot and well observed. As for me I only brought my camera outside once. To a BBQ and wine thingy celebrating that exams are over. The first one is taken with the new 31mm. A truly wonderful optics and I'm so happy that I got it.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frygge Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 And this is with the viv 70-150mm. Not so impressive, but dirt cheap and great fun. BTW, this is more from the wine part of the BBQ.<div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miserere_mei Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Markus, you a too funny :-) Hin, a personal request to you: please make a B&W version of #4. Fredrik, B&W rules! Love your shots. It must be great to have willing models... :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jgredline Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 Fredrik Your first image is the ''winner'' so far in my book... ''Superb''...The only thing I don't like about it, is that I did not shoot it. lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alisa_stieg Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 For sure, Duane wins for cute! That little squirrel picture is AWESOME! Hin, while agree with Mis that #4 would be cool in B&W, I also like the contrasting purple and green colors! You always take such great nature shots!
