<p>Happy WedNEsDay everybody! Last sunday I spotted this kid playing with water in a fountain.</p>

<p>Good WedNesDay everybody. My contribution is one of the last pictures I was able to take of our beloved Minnie. She passed away last Sunday, aged 12.</p>

<p>I didn't realize it's Wednesday again... Didn't take any pictures the last week, so especially for this thread I grabbed the first flower I could find, and made a simple set-up with an umbrella. The background is the underexposed grass in my backyard.</p>

<p>On April 23th the Catalan people celebrate their patron, Sant Jordi. Coinciding with the international day of the book, people give roses or books to their beloved ones.</p>

<p>Happy Wednesday everyone. We had a blast last week shooting sunrise in Llançà, Costa Brava, Spain. I'm actually embarrassed to say it's the first time I ever got up that early for a pictures, but it was definitely worth it.</p>

<p>A statue to the catalan writer Jacinto Verdaguer, at his hermitage up in the mountains, close to Besalú, Spain, while the mist was rolling in under him, which we would encounter on the way down to the village, almost a one hour descent.<br>

<p>Last weekend, we had our monthly gathering with the local photo club, and had a ball making pictures in Tossa de Mar, Catalonia, Spain.</p>

<p>I did a walk in a medieval town nearby, and made an attempt to a HDR-like effect in Lightroom, starting with a backlit picture, and trying to squeeze it all out of a single raw-file.</p>

<p>This weekend we went for our monthly gathering with a group of local (and not so local) photographers on a trip to Rupit, a small town in the mountains, but where they don't call them Pyrenees yet.</p>

<p>As always, nice work everyone!</p>

<p>Winter is way too cold for me to go out and take pictures, but last sunday we had a very nice day here at the Costa Brava, so we headed out for a walk in a local animal reserve. We didn't plan the visit in advance, so I only had one lens with me :-)<br>

<p>My earlier 500N (I believe this was the Rebel G over there) only had 1/2 stop increments for shutter speeds and apertures. There were no custom settings to allow 1/3 stops, as is the case now for most modern cameras. I don't think the difference between 1/2 and 1/3 stop, which is 1/6 stop if my math is right, is even visible on most films.</p>

<p>If your flash is firing multiple times before taking the shot, you probably have the Red Eye feature turned on. This uses some extra preflashes to contract the subject's pupils.</p>

<p>The preflash for TTL-metering is too fast to be even seen as a separate flash before the exposure burst.</p>

<p>PS is there, but LR nor GIMP aren't.</p>

<p>I have been playing with backlit glass again. So yesterday I took a few pics of a Fitzroy's storm glass that I received as a gift this holiday season.</p>

<p>Good morning Nikonians,<br>

For this one I just let the camera expose in A-mode at f/32 (to get the starburst effect), letting it deliberately underexpose.<br>

<p>Good morning everybody! I caught a spider's web just after the sun started to break the morning mist.<br>

<p>We went for a walk this weekend on our monthly gathering with a local photography group. I usually take only one lens with me, and now it was the turn of the 12-24 mm, on my D90.</p>

<p>This guy joined us as if it were our guide through the whole visit of the town.</p><div></div>

<p>"when i look at the flash, it appears that the flash is compensating as much as 3 full stops..."</p>

<p>Do you mean that you see "-3" flashing on the display after taking a picture? This means that the flash couldn't output enough light to take the picture, and it's probably underexposed by 3 stops. This happens sometimes when bouncing and using low ISO and/or stopping down, especially when you're on your knees or laying down to picture children (the light has to travel farther). Or when your flash didn't have enough time to recycle fully (remember: the ready-light goes on before it is fully charged).</p>
