mmm, He looks delicious.
Man I miss my D3s.
Nice, that would make a great HDR.
I honestly have no idea how to do them, I dont have any editing software other than ViewNX2 and Photoscape.
After reviewing my images I think I am over sharpening and blowing the colors out, I may repost that pic and try to make it a little softer and see what you guys think.
Its probably your monitor, but a month ago or so you were WAY over sharpening. Now they're starting to soften up a bit, but still can be a bit harsh. You're honestly better off leaning towards less sharpening rather than going really crazy with it.
Saturation is usually OK, that last one is a little close to the edge. I usually never touch saturation off the camera, or sometimes I push it down a bit. Depends on the camera, and what you're shooting. I try to configure my camera to deliver as close to neutral as possible.
Hope you dont mind, this was just using some HDR toning in PS5, would look alot better if done with the original photo.

I dont mind at all man, I tried Photomatix (spelling?) or something of the sort but after playing with the demo I didnt think it was worth $100 bucks and I havent bothered since then.
I can get a effect kind of like that was Photoscape by hitting a "bloom" button half a dozen times but I always thought they looked bad, I may put the same image up tomorrow with a few shots of "bloom" and see what you guys think.
I guess I need to stop being a cheap arse and save up for Photoshop and learn how to use it.
Nice photo, but try some CA correction. Im bit suprised that this lens has that much of CA.
Tarowah
First photo is tad bit oversharpened and maybe bit too saturated, but that saturation is matter of taste. Second is good from sharpness point of view (maybe even add tiny bit of sharpness), but colors are kinda too cool, maybe change WB towards warmer? I guess that its how it looked IRL.
Photomatix is hard to master, though cant say if its worth 100 USD or not, it has certain uses, but takes long time to find for what its good.
@Tarowah, I like the saturation of the first pic, and the sharpness of the second. First pic to sharp.
Thanks for the input everyone, I am going to try and get better at editing, I dont speand the amount of time with them as I should.
Trying FX Photo Studio HD for the Ipad
pretty kick a$$ program, lots and lots of effect templates.
The black border is too strong needs to be toned down.

Nice Tarawah, are these old historical structures? or just abandon old homes? I would love to look through these.
The set I am showing now are on a customers farm, the last one is the first home that was built on the farm and it is pretty well falling apart, I will put a few more of this one up in the next few days. The ones with the signs on them are newer and are used as storage for their collections of signs and whatnot.
Yeah i like the front on those newer units. Mine is a 1998.
Only problem with the post 2002 models was that they fixed a few of the ghetto mods like the IAT sensor mod of just using. 99 cent resistor to trick the motor into thinking its sucking cold air so it ups the timing and dumps more fuel.
There is an absolute difference with it and without it. But i have heard the long term side effects are not good. So only use it whenneeded then go back to the stock sensor.
There are a couple of throttle based mods that use this at full throttle but i cant find anyone who has one for sale.
This beast came flying in right at us and landed right next to my wife.

Well, this is my best shot. Wat do u guys think?
This shot and the other above were taken through the window of the long closed down Nunnally's Photography Studio in Reidsville North Carolina, I have a couple of shots that I want to share, not sure why I like them so much but I do.

Can't decide if bokeh is distracting or not.
@kwscore, Looks like you're on the correct side of the tracks.
@yup, Beautiful, love the b/w, keep'em coming.
@Tarowah, I love those shots, great composition! Thats a new style for you.
@Cpl Ledanek, I'm not sure what that is, but I would eat it.
@Kain, Nice shot, young rose leaves make good subjects.

Harps are sharp?

the editing i did caused the rainbow color in the sky to look the way it does, it's cheeky but not horrid.

Welcome Back ANP and Anemic!!
RADCOM yes that was taken with the 18-55 kit lens, if the lighting is just right I can get some really sharp images from that lens, its not prime quality but pretty good, Also those links are awesome, thank you.
Great shot Tarowah.
Kain is your girlfriend a Bajoran :) Weevil I haven't seen a caterpillar like that since I was a boy, they are rare in the city :( Camera isn't well so it's going to Nikon repair centre which is a couple of miles up the road luckily :)
Thanks Weevil
Thanks Tarowah! Nice to be back :D

(I do like that kit lens even tho I have like 5 other ones)
This past Friday night I volunteered to shoot photos at a special needs prom (for handicapped kids), I shot as a paparazzi photographer and I got a little over 600 images of the kids getting out of the limo, it was about as heart warming a night that I can remember.
Reflection of the red carpet where the kids walked into the building.

The Stig knows what you did, he's not impressed. by Ch@pS, on Flickr
Taken at the Top Gear festival.
I see Santa Cruz is finally coming into spring! I should go up there one of these days when it's not rainy...
I really like your latest captures, Weevil, but to me they seem just a tad overcooked (saturated).
Anemic, nice photos. But would be better with graduated grey filters. On your first pic sky seems to bu burned (so plain). On the second the stone arch (especially left side) lost its details.
I'm about to get Marumi ND 77mm for my Sigma 10-20. I got tired of ruined landscape photos because of the bright sky.

He was a Pittsburgh favorite. RIP big guy.
Nice shot Kain, are you photoshopping? They are coming in so razer sharp they've cut through my screen lol
Yes, I sharpen and adjust colors in PS.
Photos have to be sharp to begin with ;)
