I wonder if a st Louis/Missouri area miscer could get out to Ferguson and get some Riot photos. would be a huge moment for anyone bc this has the potential to be historical. stay safe brahs

Its more than just a tad overexposed. But that's alright because all of the important elements are still easily discernible. Even so, it could still be reduced depending on the quality of the source, but that's up to the taste of the photographer.

On the other hand, the OE can also provide a bit of individual creativity and/or stylization to the shot. It also captures the energy of the skateboarder aloft at just the right moment.By far the best. Which means practice. Something I could certainly use a lot more of.Neither am I. But I don't let that squelch my objectivity. My appreciation of good photography goes way beyond that.Agreed.

better?

Moonrise over Fort Worth (not to far from me) being shared by the local television show. Brian Luenser is the photographer. Unbelievable. Literally unbelievable.

Cool shot. Somewhat immersion-breaking though when you know the moon is never actually that big in the sky, to the naked eye.

Reminds me of this:



The gear he used made it equivalent to a 1300mm focal length.

The calm before the storm?




Day 134 - The view is down there somewhere...

We were stood at the top of Coniston Old Man surrounded by mist/clouds and we couldn't see anything haha

I really like this shot.

I was wondering what kind of focal length would make that amount of compression (if that's even what it is?) Yikes! And yes, too damn bad it doesn't look like that to the naked eye. Would be amazing...for a while.

Much. There is also the option to crop depending on whether or not you wish to showcase the location or not.

If only you had been around a few million year ago. Imagine what that photo would be worth today?

You could entitle this one -- Fascination? Although the background could very well be a white wall.

Dinosaur Provincial Park in the Alberta Badlands, where I camped solo for 2 nights. I'm still very new to landscape post-processing; practicing to work up to finalrep-level quality with entry level gear lol. Would like to plan a trip to the Rocky Mountains in september.

Also got around to doing some infrared stuff.

The skies here were not that dark, so I wasnt able to get very many good milky way pictures. Also, it rained out on the second night....

Wait, are you sure that's not twin lakes?

I dig it, without the context it isnt as cool tho.

Lived in STL for two years, terrible people, great place if that makes any sense.

Here's a quick comparison.

I've never used either camera but what immediately stands out is the better autofocus system on the D5300. 39pt vs. 11pt. 9 cross-type points vs. 1. That's significant. Also has a flip-out LCD if that's important to you for macro work, etc.

re: D80, it has an old CCD sensor which doesn't perform as well at high ISO as modern CMOS sensors. If you're taking most of your photos in good light and shooting landscapes from a tripod then it won't be an issue.

Well the trip to South Dakota is over Thanksgiving, and I am not sure I can get a new body, wide angle, and wildlife zoom lens by then, so im trying to decide if the d80 would work for now, and I can put the money into a better lens, or just not be broke over the holidays.

Could you explain the autofocus system to me? 39 points of focus rather than 11? more focus points the better? I would think that would make it slower.

always the days i don't have my camera i miss the most beautiful shots.


For example today i got rear ended by a guy and sat in this one field next to a farm for like 3 hours. All iw as thinking was wow, how beautiful the frame was.


Minus by totaled car.

if i had my camera i swear....

You need to consider your camera phone more in these instances. But even if you're like me and eschew these bot devices, you should at least invest in a spare. I always carry a camera, even if its just my basic point and shoot.

battery was just about to die from making the 8000 calls for over 900 minutes to every insurance /trucking/police report to get my stuff towed and the claimed filed.

I'll probably invest in something small like that one day. Just wish i had my oneitis (my nikon d90)

So as I said a few days ago. I just got a Rebel T3i. finally I had some time to go out and take random "get used to my camera" shots of a good buddy I grew up with.



Sadly, I had no idea I would be taking the last picture of him ever. he died today in a car accident brahs. Im so torn up about it. this **** hit my hometown HARD bc he was a very well liked kid that just turned his life around. its not fair at all. do NOT fail to tell your loved ones how much you love them srs. and next time your taking a photo, realize how powerful it can become in the blink of an eye. unreal.

My condolences. My friend died a few weeks ago in a plane crash, so I know what you're going through. You have a nice picture to remember him by.

Valley looks under exposed and the overall shot could do with a green tint adjustment and a reduction in contrast. My opinion.

Still in NZ or back home?

Love the lighting and mood of this one.

Only thing I would change in post is to remove the highlight creeping into the frame at top right. Edit.

Still in the land of the long white cloud. Leaving sunday for the sunshine coast for a week before heading back to the rat race in Syd

I agree here with this critique..

It is also a beautiful shot. Sometimes I wonder how this shot would of been close up, you below him and him looking up from the back.

If this is a self portrait...this may of been a moot point.

Go back another day...

Kind of begs the question though...it was just that the sky, the scene, the settings, the color seemed so beautiful. Do you believe that certain weather patterns / moments in time can be redone again on another day? I'm not trying to poke, just curious if anyone had experience shooting the same location twice and getting the same or very similiar conditions with everything. Could be very possible...just never tried before

I'm very sorry to hear about this. This is why photography could be seen as powerful as it captures someones possible moments like these.

stay strong brother.

Chaotic deaths (meaning in this instance out of our control, ie plane, car, accidents and the like) of someone young can be the most devastating. :-/

Hnnng, could be epic with some processing adjustments, love the added dynamic of a person in the frame, I hnng hard when great landscape shots have a solid point of focus in the foreground.

What's up guys? Haven't been on bb.com much, or in here much. Hope you're doing well.

Godyssey - very sorry about your friend.


I just posted some recent pics on my blog here:

I think this is my favorite:



I spent some time watching these little bugs. It's amazing that they can just walk/scoot around the surface of the water like it's nothing. Very cool.

But who was John Galt?



Great pic - I'm huge into macro/small shots with my poverty camera

[BlueSasquatch]

Water tension on the surface allows critters light enough or those able to distribute their weight correctly, the ability to walk on water. There is a lizard that can run on water using the same principal. This effect is easily demonstrable when you fill a glass full of water and the water forms a dome around the top lip of the glass, surface tension keeps it from spilling over the edge. #jesuswasawaterbug.

Can't wait to get a dedicated macro lens. I just use my 15-85 for everything and crop it down to get closer, which is obviously not ideal.

Yup. It's one thing to know that though and another thing to see the imprints these bugs make on the water, up close, and how they operate.

[Godyssey]

appreciate all the kind words brahs! theres a huge festival in my hometown this weekend so we are going to party extra hard in honor of him. itll be good to be around everyone after a crazy tragedy. im bringing my camera so hopefully I get good shots to show everyone.

[BlueSasquatch]

Dominik,

D7100 and above come with weather coating/protection of some sort, how important do you think this is, or how big of a difference will it make? The 5300 looks like a solid first camera choice for me, but I tend to be rough on equipment, as long as it isnt raining hard, I typically keep shooting, any opinion on this?

[Steps2jacked]

d7100 is not just weather resistant. but has a semi-metal chassis {survive good bit of abuse}, dust resistant

d5xxx, d3xxx are plastic bodies.

d7100


lower level bodies like d5200 and d3200
