The photography thread

[StefTD]

just got back from my holiday in switzerland, have to look through all the photos (1,5k) and edit them, but
there are a few good ones and they had national day on the second of august, so I got to shoot loads of
fireworks.

not the best, but one of the first that got edited

just tried something with longer exposure time and zooming

visited the zoo, too

you guys make me GAS so bad for a DSLR!!

 

[Joematthews]

Just to warn you, D-SLR's are probably more addictive than crack

 

[kramer1309]

i know! cash-strapped is why I can't think of one yet.. neither can I justify the price given my level yet...
And I love the sky in your first shot.. is it post-processed, or hdr?

 

[Joematthews]

Thanks, it's 3 shot HDR, handheld, processed fairly excessively in Ps haha. You won't regret finally making the jump, but it is really expensive as you say, and there's always another lens to buy...

 

[arv_foh]

and there's always another lens to buy...

pure truth right here.. especially when you own a canon and a nikon and need lenses for both.. ugh

...You won't regret finally making the jump, but it is really expensive as you say, and there's always another lens to buy...

It never stops with just one lens. There's always another you want. I've learned I have to put my "want" in check with reality. What do I want vs. how often am I really going to use it? I really WANT the Tokina 12-24mm that Joe has. A nice wide angle is the last lens I will need for some time (yeah...right lol). The wide angle will be perfect for beautiful landscapes that I love shooting. BUT...when I stop and think about it...how often are we actually traveling these days? And when we do travel, how much of a chance do I have to actually go somewhere where I can see/shoot those pretty landscapes that I want? Hmmmm. Damn.

But, I just picked up a used Canon 28-105mm from a friend. I've been wanting a good walk-around lens. Now I'm up to four lenses. (but nothing like the quality of Brian's)

Pirate Bitch = Wife ...lol

 

[azistenostora]

Oh shit, how am I going to explain this? I am really sorry man, didn't know it was the missis lol

 

[arvoitus]

Pirate Bitch = Wife ...lol

I don't really like the editing of this shot. You're wife/girlfriend really stands out in the image but the black/darkness over the clouds makes the whole picture a bit distracting.

I don't know how the original looks, but i think it would look way nicer if it didnt have the "vignette" effect.
