color of night
these are a series of pictures i snapped the other night. i am attempting to learn how to use this camera and some of the features. these are all with a canon 10d and sigma lens. there is no flash. i tried a number of shutter speeds to get "the look" i was going for. here are a few of the ones i like. the pictures were taken in "raw" format, and saved as tiff. then for the web, they were converted to jpeg. in the conversion, some of the brightness was lost, but i think they still look pretty cool. these are all in shoreline village, and the boat is the queen enjoy.... feel free to comment. i can take the criticism :wave: |

Thanks for the pics! I have yet to visit this area and it sure looks beautiful at night.

Really nice. I have the little bother to the 10 D the Digital Rebel I love that camera. Are you using any sort of filter on any of those?

i live in lakewood. about 15-20 minutes from the queen. i just went there because there are interesting things to photograph didnt you live in lakewood before? Quote:
i spent some money on lenses to get the crispness of those pics. the lens in those is a sigma 24-70 lens @2.8 it is an upper/middle quality lens. if you want to get really fancy, you can get the canon L glass lens, but expect to spend a lot of money. the sigma lenses i bought have the same numbers as the canon L lenses, but i am sure there is some reason other than the name alone why canon gets double the money |

Yea I grew up in Cerritos and got my first house about 3 mi. away in LKWD. It just seems like so long ago I think it was 2.5-3 years ago.

NAILER341,
Nice pictures, I like your touch. Criticism? Ok, how about this: your pictures number 201 and 202, and of essentially the same thing. Pick one and throw the other one away (or combine them through digital means to take the best out of the two, and merge into one image for presentation). 02_WHITE_TJ_X, try to dial a bit of negative White Balance compensation in your camera (you can also try "Cloudy" or "Shady" WB settings). Get the saturation up ("Vivid" mode or something similar). Put a hood in front of your leans; try not to shoot against the sun (unless that's the effect you are going for). Instead of shooting in the middle of the day, go for early morning or late afternoon. Also try a circular polarizer filter, it helps to darken the sky, and tone down haze. Your waterfall picture has a lot of camera shake. Put the camera on a tripod.

Erik,
<insert Dodge Truck commercial guy> Sweeeeeeeet One of the benefits of working at the terminal right behind the Queen Mary is when working late, I get to drive over that same bridge in your second shot. Long Beach, at night, all lit up is really a beautifull sight. Nice pictures. Thanks for someone else's view. Note to self, self, visit Kentucky. |
