Picture of the Day

[ANP !!!]

I don't see a dedicated thread in which you can post one of the great pictures you take everyday.

Rules are simple.

• Only one picture per day
• The picture can be very old, it doesn't matter when it was taken.
• You can post a picture everyday if you want, as long as its different.
• Please NO larger then 1280 x 1024 resolution, if possible 1024 x 768 is recommended.
• Don't quote images.

Also if possible add the EXIF data, this can be helpful to other viewers, I will make it simple by posting the layout.

PS: Me being a newbie (along with others maybe) at photography wanna learn the advanced settings at which some of the pros here take pictures . Hence this thread.


Now let go your creativity

ANP that is an awesome shot. Do you mind telling me how you get such a great shot with ISO 800? Usually over ISO400 you get so much noise, but your shot came out really nicely. Anyway, its a new day, so here is my next pic :

Taken a few weekends ago along the Thames on a Saturday just after Guy Fawkes day. They had a nice fireworks display.

The pic I posted above is ISO 2500. You can get good pics despite high ISO.

Thanks man, I shoot RAW and apply a bit of noise reduction in Lightroom, it does a great job in getting rid of Noise. But Noise is not much of an issue with DSLRs, esp with D40, due to its small pixel count, it has great high ISO performance, The below pic is shot at ISO-1600, straight out of the camera JPEG, no noise reduction applied or PP.

Damn that is a great shot for 1600 iso! Surprised at how little noise there is! Thanks for the tip about Lightroom. I'll see what other noise reduction techniques I can find. Usually I just use a gaussian blur (small) / median / unsharp mask in PS...

2500 or 250?

EXIF says ISO Speed: 280

EXIF says ISO Speed: 280

Yeah, I know. I just wanted to make sure...

[MaxxxRacer]

Yeah, I know. I just wanted to make sure...

blah, I was looking at the ISO requested and it said 2500 for some reason. Thought it looked too good for 2500.
