Just some random snapshot on my secondhand new 5D. Really happy with it, 8000 clicks and pretty good condition!

Lestat those are some pretty good Macros, I highly recommend you use RAW and process your pics using Adoble Lightroom you will see quite a lot difference and details.

Hey, ducks! Nice one.



Broken bench after rain.

Croped and heavy PP, as usually..

[Lestat]

heavy PP,,, i dont see any weener's ????

[Mescalamba]

Point in good PP is, that you dont know its there, unless you made it. Though, not sure whats "weener".

[Lestat]

hahahahha

PP when you say it in English is what little boys call their pen|s , so you would spell it Pee Pee
so when you said heavy PP, i said i dont see any weener.
and weener or weiner is english slang for pen|s

and whats PP i think you mean PS - Photoshop ?

Post Processing

[Mescalamba]

Lol, that makes my answer even more funny. I meant post processing of course..

I think that more "interesting" pictures will be with new camera, hopefully someday.. but definetly not of naked mens.. I still prefer women.

[Lestat]

ohhh post processing..


ok here's my futile attempt to frame the moon within the tree line.
out of all the pictures i only have 3 keepers (in my eyes)
and here is one.
I think it would look better in the upper right corner.
but i am right handed also so my mind probably prefers objects on the right... ???



Canon T2i
ISO-400
85mm 1.8
F/22
30 sec.

here are thumbnails of the other two (2nd pic was iso 1600 and the moon not as focused somehow i think the exposure blew it out so it looks fuzzier than it is)

Most people focus the eyes on at the golden section first, both when they look at a picture or a monitor. There if four spots on a picture, one in each corner with the same 1 to 1.16 ratio (golden mean) distance from the sides.
An object in one of these four spots gets the first focus of the eye, but some people mean the one on top right (as you see in picture below) gets the most and first focus.



But there is more into this 1 to 1.16 "golden mean" ratio, it makes balance and harmony in the picture too. Many big artists and painters have used this ratio to divide the picture (by for example letting the sky-line go trough that spot), or have placed important objects in that spot, some famous ancient buildings are based on the same ratio, etc.

Here is a short video with better explanation on youtube:

uhm,,, ok.. wow lol i definitely was not expecting that for a reply.
awesome info, going to watch the video now.

i will have to look back over some of my pictures to see how i may or may not purposely frame objects.

its either centered or definitely off to one edge.

^^ When has the borg cube landed in Alberta? LOL.

still learning how to use a GND filter properly

[Lestat]

looks like you put the tinted side to the left
typically you would turn it so that its at the top covering the sky to make the sky darker, or to help prevent blown out highlights in the clouds and sun.

hahaha Grand Lisboa Casino, Macau SAR. Although I'd probably be dumb enough to stay behind to take photos if a Borg cube ever showed up in Alberta

lol, i know
the darkness on the left is probably vignetting

Janno, that's a great balanced pic, GNDs are great tool for landscapes, possible the best investment one can make

Floods alert, River tapi is flowing way above the normal levels, due to huge amount of water released from Dam.
