Picture of the Day

[Lestat]

i am really undecided about this picture, i like it but i dont.
sigma 100-300mm is no $500 lens so i dont expect great things but still... its ok.

if i recall this was 100% crop.



canon 40d
sigma 100-300mm f/4.0-5.6
iso 100
f/22 (high fstop doesnt help but again just playing in full manual mode trying anything to make a nice picture)
1/13th sec
217mm Focal Length

Wow. Too many good pics to comment on the individually. This thread is getting ridiculously good.

Lestat, shots of the moon don't get much better than that. Nice work.

Randolph County area and surrounding counties...(Pocohontas and Webster)

That's about 2 hours south of where I live, Mon County (or home of WVU, whichever makes it sound better...probably nothing associated with WVU.)

Nice HDR Elisha .. how did you made it? From single raw? Cause I guess they are moving around..

I did use Photomatix but it is not really a HDR image.
Single RAW file and I selected Tone Mapping and used the Detail Enhancer options and messed with the sliders.
The sky was already punchy in the original RAW so it was mostly a colour and shadow manipulation.
I believe most of the slider settings show up with the rest of the exif on Flickr.

Yes, good way to improve photos.. especially with your camera. It looks really good.
