do you have a monitor that is calibrated? Just wondering. On my calibrated monitor it is plain black and white..

btw your waterfall shots look good.. color is nice and balanced

 

Here are some photo's I took this weekend. I think they turned out ok... was a little cloudy which helped.

Any comments and suggestions are welcome

 

all red xs bro...^^^

 

I think its fixed now... hopefully

 

nice... i would say that the diffused light from it being cloudy definatly helped. some things to remember though. just make sure you get some nice clean reflections in the car. Your last shots have no clean reflections. Another thing is to watch your exposure.

#1 is a tad underexposed while #3 is a little over exposed.

1 & 2 dont do anything for me sadly.

#5 is the strongest of the bunch though...

 

My monitor is calibrated. I think everyone is misunderstanding what I am saying. I know the photo isn't blue like a color photo with an improper white balance.

You know that there are like....a BILLION different methods to convert to B&W right? A LOT of the conversion methods cause an effect that is a lot like your #2 picture. It doesn't mean it is a problem with the picture, I just don't prefer whatever method you used to convert to B&W.

FWIW I find that with my style of shooting, the Gorman-Holbert conversion works best.

What method(s) did you use to convert the 1st two shots?

Oh yeah....and thanks for the waterfall comments.

 

Thanks for the suggestions. I thought of the reflections when I uploaded them onto my macbook... which was a little late lol.

Still learning the camera which is a fun experience. This is the second time I shot my car with this camera so I'm thinking I will get better at this. I am planning on going to a photography class with my g/f to learn more about slr's and getting the most out of them.

 

as you can see there is no blue color cast in the image



4 is great and coulda been the best if you had a cpl at the time. 5 is the cleanest.

 

wrong photo I think he is talking about the other BW image..

 

it's the one he mentioned p352638380-4 ... but I agree with him that the first one is better.

 

Here is his quote:
The first one was the one iwth the golden color... the second is the other bw one..

 

p352638380-4 is image number 2 thats the one that is over saturated in the image screenshot as shown in the title bar where is says adobe photoshop cs3.

I just wanna be sure his monitor is set right so images dont seem too blue.

 

I understand what the color blue is, and my monitor has been calibrated.

Ill find the name of the effect I am talking about, I can't think of it at the moment.

In the mean time, chill out with the one man argument. You are only proving yourself right...to yourself.

 

just wanna make sure your good on your monitor too I mean the histogram even showed there was no blue so I guess im wrong but again I don't care about the image just want your monitor to be good to go

moving along has anyone tried these? http://www.adorama.com/FPRRS8.html ... they don't have 32 channels like the pocket wizards but if they get the job done.

 

Just some shots from hiking yesterday..you can click on the pano for the full size lol











some random piece of train laying next to the road

 

They all look good, its too bad about the fence in #4 and #5. But that isn't really your fault, I just think it detracts from the picture.

 

im loving the 3rd image but I would crop at the edge of the wall so all you see is the falls

 

So these are my memorial shots. I took these today at the Missouri Vetrens cemetery in Springfield Mo. Feel free to tell me what you think.

nice pictures!
although the one with the guns seems a tad cluttered because of the background. i would try to atleast clone out that random letter on the left side looks outta place.

 

hmm good call... Honestly I love the gun one because of the framing but you are right about me having to clone the one letter.

 

I got bored at 1 am





* did some quick patching on the left hand side.. can anyone tell, I dont do much of that*

 

 

Here are just a few shots that I really love from the state golf tournement I shot about a week and a half ago. I was shooting for a company that will sell the photos but they allow me to use them for anything i would like, except selling them.

Gallery- There is alot os shots so click if you dare...

* I also know that alot of these need to be cropped. I just didnt want to sped hours and hours cropping on this one*

sick06cobalt (David Welker) just want to let you know I'm a huge fan after seeing your pics. I just got into photography, got me a D90 last friday. You inspire me to get out there and start taking pics. I have a lot of work to do, maybe one day I'll post some pics up here (all the ones in my gallery are not with a D90 btw)

 

Thanks bud. Honestly I have improved because I have been taking photos. So keep at it and you will soon be getting better and better. Dont be afraid to send me a pm or email and ask me for an opinion. but thanks again bud.

oh and just remember its not the camera that makes the photos its the photographer.
