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.

Thanks Tarowah! Nice to be back
Havent been hanging around XS for a while. Concentrated on gaming instead

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.

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.

Yes, I sharpen and adjust colors in PS.

Cool, I spend ages adjusting things in Lightroom but I don't notice that much of a difference, maybe when my new glasses come through........

[Kain665]

Photos have to be sharp to begin with

Thanks ggdh! Yes, gray filter would probably fix it. Problem was that on that morning the sky had NO texture o clouds or...Anything. Got up at like 5 on a sunday to shoot at daybreak but everything was just super grey and boring. Tried to save a couple of photos tho...
I will fix the stone arch, thanks for the heads up!
