Wow, that's a nice picture. Where did you take it?

billybobsky · 2006-12-14, 22:46

El Jadida, and if you do a google search on it, you will find someone else who took exactly the same shot at evidently the same time at the same time of year 5 years before... his other shots of the cistern are also remarkably identical to my own... Kind of freaky actually...

Of course I will.

I have two weeks off starting Saturday, so I plan on experimenting with various settings and angles quite a bit.

I just bought a 34mm F/1.4 lens. With conversion ratio, it comes out to roughly 50mm. Sweet doggy! is that one hell of a lens!

4 digit price tag. *Gulp*

bb - Awesome, awesome shot. I reckon you could sell that one.

Gspotter - I kept looking at the body of the snake thinking something was not quite right. Then my eyes were drawn to the head. Great DOF and the focus is dead on. Love it - well framed too. Are the colours natural or has it been edited?

julesstoop · 2006-12-15, 05:32

Just some very different pictures I've taken in the past few months:

@ a party, someone is bored:

My hometown around sunset:

A beach on "Vlieland" (small island of the dutch coast):

You absolutely nailed the exposure in that photo, billybobsky: no small feat in those lighting conditions, especially with a digital camera. Good shadow and highlight detail and beautiful colours. Isn't it a bit soft though? Perhaps because it was handheld? Still, a lovely shot.

billybobsky · 2006-12-15, 10:50

It is a little soft... hand held indeed without breakfast... I sort of starved my way through morocco...

I'd say 95% natural.

I just did a small curve adjustment in PS to enhance the color clarity.

Don't drop it!!!

Ok so this image is of me, I have the copyrights to it.

Ephesus in Turkey back in '96. Man I would love to go back there with a better camera. This was taken with a cheapo 35mm. I found the negative and scanned it in more for my memories and safe keeping. No editing has been done yet to the image. Scanned in with a Nikon Cool Scan V w/o Digital ICE.

PKIDelirium · 2006-12-18, 18:24

Step 1. Set camera to 2-second shutter.
Step 2. Aim camera at Christmas tree and click shutter.
Step 3. Twist camera.
Step 4. There is no step 4.

Windowsrookie · 2006-12-18, 18:39

Where's the green?

PKIDelirium · 2006-12-18, 18:57

In other parts of the tree.

I just held the camera close to a few bulbs and did it, so it didn't get many colors.

joveblue · 2006-12-18, 20:16

I'm getting a digital camera for christmas, yay!

Moogs · 2006-12-18, 20:19

I suspect that I might be getting one. I'm really excited about the idea. The camera I have now is a piece of crap.

Maybe with slightly better equipment, I'll be able to contribute to this thread.
