Even a few clouds make the pic much more better. Take a look at 94/366 and see what I mean (Click on the pic to enlarge it)

props for keeping up on that one a day photo idea. very organized and the comments and info add alot. good job

Some shots I took when I went fishing a few weeks back.

Not the greatest pic, but I like how it turned "milky" with basic re-touching.

Personaly, I think the bow of the boat is way blown out(though I assume it's mostly 'glass). If your shooting in JPEG, try to use the highlight sliders to bring that down and get some detail there... or play with Levels. If RAW, well mess with Recovery or the Exposure

Yeah it's pretty white/harsh on the bow. I'll try and play with it more.

Thanks for the tips Armistice, I think this one is a tad bit more pleasant on the eyes. Might be a little too saturated though. lol.

Learn and use the histogram, it will help avoid blowouts. Turn blinkies on too.

Much better. Nice work. Saturation is fine I think

As Karman said, the histograms are good to use

okay so heres my first photomatix HDR experience with a pic from my backyard... Let me know what you think!!

I suspect the lighting was flat already. Look for something that has lots of shadows and lots of highlights. Try shooting in midday

it was sunset and the sun was hitting it dead on. i felt that it wouldn't work cause i know i need a good amount of shadows to make it look good. but im going to try again tomorrow. i tried with my cat sleeping in the sun and there were plenty of shadows but the bastard moved and it was windy when i tried some of my truck so the branches of they tree looked funny. ehh better luck tomorrow . thanks for the info though

Dead on light doesn't work too well. Try shooting a sunset and HDR that. It's cool coz you get the light, plus the forground

ill give that a shot tomorrow i was thinkin of heading out for like a quick hour to a couple well lit areas around me to get some more shots. im bored just sitting here

This showed up today

w/e that is, thats an awesome picture

Its my book, and thanks. One of my favorites shots this year.

love how the dust is coming off the front tire.

You took that pic kartman?

Yep, at BAP a couple months ago

Fuck me, I gotta get out and start shooting again.

Hopefully Ridgecrest 1450 ORG race will be the next race for me.

I know I'm going to be there

heres some 35mm black and white for ya that i developed in the dark room




some photoshopped

My god son and my dog.

so whats everyone using for their setups? i was thinking of getting a new camera this summer, probably a Cannon EOS Xti unless you guys have any other suggestions. used for sports, scenery, some racing, and general fucking around.

its all about personal preferance i like my nikon a5 its from the 80s everything manual so im pretty much a crackhead
lenses is where id spend my money wide angle zoom and a 50mm and filters like red blue, polorized

so here's a pic I took on the Knobs on the New grill I got.

I have the New Nikon d60 . Im still getting used to the Camera and havent even tapped into the basics . From the pics i have taken with just barely basic knowledge i cannot wait to see what this thing can do ...

awesome, thanks for the help. i have a kodak p880 right now, but this summer i wanna upgrade to something better. definately a great camera to learn on.

If you are shooting digital there is no need for filters since you can set the WB.

Canon and Nikon both make good SLRs, but Nikon is for heteros.

The XT or XTi will work fine. Or the Nikon D40/D40x will work too if you're a Nikon guy, lol

What part? I think rolling up the film was the most fun, shaking it is boring, lol. However doing the darkroom stuff was rad

I have, what of it

Also, I need to get Photomatix, hugin, and AutoPano on my laptop. Anyone still have the codes for them?

how would i go about making a dark room and developing my own film?
its getting expensive developing my race pics cause i have so many

You want cheap, go digi. Seriously. $600 for a beginner SLR and another 30-50 for a cheap photo program like Adobe Elements and you're good. It's the Green thing to do, lol

well pretty much about how to tone map the pic

heres my second attempt not that bright i know. i did it when the sun was setting. also does it process both areas together?? ("detail enhancer" and "tone compressor")
