I like the one of your dog.

There was a storm so I took a couple snaps.

The first, I just plain love. My only complaint about the second one is that there is a gap to the left of the pole at the top. Stupid complaint. Nice stuff.

Well, here are some of mine...

This one was actually in the spring - a red leafed norway maple. I caught it right as the sun was shining through from behind.

Yes, the backround is blurred on this one... but there was just too much going on behind the heron it distracted too much attention from the actual subject.

This one (in case you couldn't tell) is looking up at a hemlock tree. i like it a lot but think it's a little too symetrecal...

Tell me what you think

What kind of quality did you save those jpegs? They all look really blurry.

I really like the first one, but do be honest, the others don't do too much for me.

I like the subjects for all of those. The leaf in the first could be moved to either side and have a more dynamic composition. The second could be pulled back, then move the bird to the right side of the shot and bring the camera down closer to the water. The moon shot is okay, but you generally want to have a larger moon to shoot, and all the lunar shots I have seen (that I liked) had it in a corner. The last one seems off. Good idea, though.
They did all seem a bit out of focus...

hmm yeah i've always liked the first one best - it was actually one of the first pics i ever took. The one of the heron and the moon are supposed to be blurry, the leaf i did blur a bit to get rid of noise, though now i'm thinking that i like the origonal better. the last one is just resized to be to be 550 pixels wide, dunno why it's like that. anyway, there's one more i took that i just had to put up here:

Thanks for the tips guys

That amount of blurring is just... well, not very appealing at all. Plus the type of blurring isn't very natural at all. It looks fake, and doesn't help the photo at all (I'd say the bluriness of all of them really hurt what might have been decent photos). If you have that big of a noise problem, just reshoot the photo.

nice! I like the second one...uh... whatever it is

These are from my last model shoot for my pose book project.

camera: pentax K1000
lens: the "ear grab" and "hands behind head" are 50mm and the other one is 30mm
film: Fuji Provia 400F (35mm slide)

no photoshop..err.. Gimping... besides maybe some dust removal.

Hmm.

I do NOT mean to offend here. That dress, is well, ugly! You are pretty. And the quality of the pics is pretty good.

You ARE VERY pretty, though.

Here are some pics that I have taken. These are all the same rose, one of them is when it is a little older. I should have put a date stamp on these.... There has been no editing except for cropping.

LefseRae · 10-04-2006, 05:36 PM

Here are some more roses.

The first 3 are the same rose, but not the same pic, although it sortof looks like it.

The next one is "Rain on Tomatoes". Okay, so it's really the tomatoes being watered with a watering can. But it looks cool. *nods*

And the last one is, I think, my favorite. I took this just after a rainy day. In case you were wondering, it's rose leaves. *grins*

LefseRae · 10-04-2006, 05:39 PM

And the last post for now:

These are two different roses. All of the pics were taken at night except the first one.

No... I'm ugly... the girl I was photographing was pretty

shot with an LG camera phone

I do agree that the dress would be better served with a real steel ribbed corset... which I am told is planned for purchase.
