Aside from the high noise, what do you think?

great composition, colour and exposure. The noise/grain adds a distraction for me, though

nice pleasing photo

Hi Melanie!

Thanks for all the wonderful comments on my photos! I too amd somewhat of a beginner, ( I got my Canon 40D for Christmas '09). You asked on one of my shots as to what lens was used, I shot with an 8mm fish-eye lens. The only problem with that lens is it gives a "round" picture. ( I didn't know there was a difference!!) so you have to make sure your subject is centered enough for a good crop. They do make fish-eye lenses that shoot square...I got the wrong one!!

If there are ANY questions or suggestions you may need, feel free to e-mail me!!

Thanks again...

Bill

 

ps...Happy Shooting!

Melanie... Nice shot - you're learning fast for a Bama Fan :-)

 

There are times when you can't help but have noise and in times like that I use a little program called "Neat Image". Here's an example of what it will do. Although not super user friendly, with some experimenting it works well for about $40-$50.

 

In this case, since it's a still life you could have placed the camera on a tripod and brought the ISO back to 100 or 200 instead of the 1600 used and that would have eliminated the noise.

 

Anyway, good shooting - keep it up!

thanks Mike! that's why i like being buddy-buddy with you, because you are so good at knowing just what needs to be done! i don't have a tripod yet. =( but i have realized that my biggest problem is going to be camera shake since i have a slight familial tremor that makes me twitch alot. so i need to get a tripod soon!

Natalie, Jerry, and William - Thanks soooo much for looking! And thanks for emailing me William.
