Recommended Posts

Pictures taken between Monday, July 23 and Sunday, July 29.



 

Rules:



This isn't a contest. All photos are welcome (not just cruising).

Prizes will not be awarded.

The idea is to get folks out using their cameras for more than vacation and toddler birthdays.

Post one. Post many. Up to you.

Have fun with your camera.

Share your fun with others.

The fun is your reward and it's a good one!

I love these.

 

Can I ask what adjustments you are making to get a pic like the first one? What lens? Are you in pure manual mode?

 

Hi, BirthdayGirl,

I edit all my pictures in Lightroom because I shoot RAW. It was cropped, decrease highlights, increase shadows, increase clarity, very slight increase vibrance and saturation. Blues were increased. The centers of the flowers were dodged to lighten. Hope that makes sense, I don't always know the right terminology.

I’ve been practicing with my new camera and thought I would post a little of my effort. In addition, I’ve read every one of Pierces’ articles (some more than once) and some of Adams articles and Justin’s posts. Not to mention watching tutorials every night till I can’t hold my eyes open anymore. I still have so much to learn. I’m trying not to get overwhelmed and to just enjoy the experience of owning my first real camera. It has been fun getting home from work and snapping a few. I’ve been having trouble getting them to post,so forgive me if this doesn’t work.

Day three

 

I really need help with my action shots. I was happy I got the cardinal in the frame at all but he’s not in focus. Any tips would be appreciated.

What is the EXIF data for your shot (shutter speed, ISO, Aperture and lens? Focus Mode?

 

Birds in flight, especially toward you are tough to begin with :(

Treated my new camera to a zoo visit on Tuesday

 

 

That RX is a bit different than the Dimage X you carried all those years ago! Though, I don't think you enjoyed the old Minolta any less. Yay, photography!

 

Happy shooting!
