Sorry about that. I'm a newbie at posting pics. I really enjoy the pics I've seen in this thread

Thanks . I think it's my favorite as well. I do like the Albino one, as I like the reflections in the water.

I like the colors and content, but I have 2 nit picky pointsThe horizon is a little crooked

The horizon is close to centered. I would crop a little more off of the bottom to get the horizon into the bottom 1/3.

Window light

Nicely done.I understand the reasoning for the long shutter, but keeping a flower still for 6 seconds is tough (although it looks like you pulled it off). Dropping to F11 and increasing the ISO to 200 would get you down to 1.5 seconds and probably still give more than enough depth of field. With the 40D ISO 20o doesn't add any noise.

Here are some of my better doors and building details, any suggestions on improvement other than more interesting subject?

address

arch

Column

The column photo is my favorite of the three. I like to see the architectural features deprived of their context. It highlights the shape and structure and deterioration.The address photo is probably your toughest subject. The background is plain and the gate itself is ordinary. This is the kind of thing that probably calls for a jacked-up aperture to really get some bubbly bokeh going in the background.

The arch is interesting, but I think something like that needs to be broken down into its component parts to get the most out of it. For example, try a portrait shot of that narrow window on the left side with the address number. Don't worry about getting anything else into the shot; and don't worry about getting the entire window slit into the shot. I think the juxtaposition of those two features would look cool.

Experiment with different stuff. Don't be afraid to sit or lay on the ground to get your shot, because everyone sees things standing up. I notice there aren't many shadows in your photos. And that's fine. But you can always revisit subjects at different times of day to see what the light does to them (I always think of this photo by Ansel Adams—the sun was going down behind him and illuminated the headstones in the cemetery. That photo would not be nearly as interesting without the play of light).

Thanks for the tips. I am glad you reminded me about lying down or using a ladder to change perspective.There is an exercise I worked through once taking photos of the same subject from 5 different heights to help visualize the difference and it was very enlightening.

Another exercise was to take a photo of a distant object and then take a couple steps forward and retake, repeat until you hit the object. It is interesting to see that the closer photos are usually the most interesting.

Very vibrant and nice composition. Plus you reminded me how nice it has been living in the south.

I lived in Atlanta for 3 years. Definitely had it's pros. But Christmas should look like that picture.

Thanks for the pointers . I've never cropped a picture before in my life. No idea how to do it, so I need to play around with it.

Thanks. Having a hard time getting used to the green, but it's growing on me. When we bought the house I said that the next time it needed stained I was going to look into changing the color. Now I'm not so sure. It definitely is unique. And looks great at Christmas.

I had a hard time choosing one, so I'll post a few on here! This past summer, a few friends and I went on a 2 1/2 week excursion to NC/Tennessee. The first week was OBX, and last few days were Bonnaroo Music Festival, but in between we killed time by camping out in the Great Smoky Mountains. It was a different experience for me, because I've never been camping, but I have to say it's great to get away from the daily grind and just be one with nature, haha. So here are some of the highlights.

First hike to Abrams Falls

A view from the tower at Clingman's Dome (highest point in the mountains)

Warning before starting the hike

Pretty high up on the hike

The bridges along most of the trails

I can't wait to go back!

Hey nflslant08',I hope that you don't mind if I played around with this shot a little bit. It is a great picture. Let me know it it is not ok and I will take it down.

Here are a couple I liked from the holidays

Turtle house at night

The first was a 15 second exposure so I am pretty happy that it is so sharp

The 2nd had a terrible background so i needed to get a little creative

This is a Older but thought it was perfect for today.

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL!!

Not a Heck of a lot to take of lately, but here is one that should cool you down

Great picture. I think too many parents take pics of their children from too far away. It's the face that's the most precious.

 

[jdoggydogg]

I haven't had many chances to take interesting pics over the last few months. But last weekend I visited Armstrong Woods - which is only 30 minutes away from me in Northern Cali. It's spectacular. The pics aren't easy to capture with my 8 MP point and shoot because on any given day the forest is super shady while the sky above is very bright.

Anyway, these were pretty decent:

Steam

Fallen

Moss

Columns

Path

Ferns

Split

There are some very nice shots here, and Path is my fav. I think you need to check your white balabce, as they all seem to have a blue cast to them...Nice shots though!

Thanks. Check it in Photoshop or in-camera? I don't think I can make that adjustment in-camera. I never bother to color correct my amateur shots in Photoshop because that's too time-consuming.

Color cast is your friend. Use the eye dropper to select a grayish part of the photo and let it readjust the rest. I tend to have to do that for the snow shots as they generally come out "bluish".

Yeah, I do that for a living. I'm just too busy to color-correct all my stuff.
