Looks like I'll be renting it the next time we take a trip too then. I bet that thing is a monster to shoot handheld

careful not to splash them during bathtime.

yup, definitely 8x12s. closer to the golden mean and all



you'll get a decent workout with it. and lots of stares.



thanks

First, wheres the $$$$?




(lol)

oh. ####.

jer, if you wants 'em, send me your email addy


more fun with panos:





and triptych, B&W style:


^^that one feels like something you'd see in a home store. not sure how i feel about that.

That top one is gorgeous. The color and light really make it pop!

I want to go here... awesome stuff!

^^This. That one is epic

Thanks Lani-pickle-vic


Ended up getting a postcard style pano from there too.















baby monk seal

What else are you holding back on us?

well, there are several hundred more from that particular trip that ended up on photobucket, but most aren't finished...just there to make the in-laws happy to have photos. as i finish them up, i replace the ones on photobucket and post some of those here so...lots

Why'd you convert the wave to b&w? Just curious.

it's just part of my process...everything in color, everything in b&w. kinda liked it.

here's color for comparison:

Yeah, I like the color better. The b&w just seems like too deep of a contrast for that kind of shot. Just MHO.

shut up lani it's the best b&w i've ever seen.

too little contrast, too much contrast. you just can't make up your mind can you?

It's a fine line.

I came here to say this

Hmph..

heh

Why is everyone on my Lani here??

ooops, sorry K, that didn't come out right.

Cool pics D.

Oh, Richie...

I perfer the b&w wave too.

Maybe today while you are processing pictures you can do some laundry as well.

I like the B&W too Also baby seal is win.

guess lani was outvoted there, eh?


more (and reef-related!!!) B&Ws for lani to hate on:










and one more baby seal...

I dunno, I like the color wave better too...
Can just feel the depth of the wave/water more.
Love the seal shots D.


Then again, Imma juss a cam noobie following along trying to pick up a nugget here and there.

B&W wave is now my desktop

:sigh: sometimes its nice to have connections to get ever changing digital artwork on my computer.

lol connections

Need some quick help...

Anyone with a Mac and Firefox?

thanks andy

(yes, i was bored)

wait, what just happened?

lol

Purdy though.

D was bored.

bored = focus stacking practice

lol jer, it's corl! Like salmon just a little bit more of a reddish-pink.

Dan, I must say that you're really freaking good. Do you have you taken lessons or gone to school for photography, or are you just a natural?

Have you looked through the HDR thread from the beginning?

Someone should bump that.

No, I have not read the HDR thread. I guess I missed out on some good reading in there.

I'm just picking, I just know he get's embarrassed by that thread

Oh, I see.



Now I REALLY need to read it.

seriously...one day i'm gonna go all lgreen on you guys in that thread.

hp, if you go look, at least make it to the end and see the lighthouse pano. at least that one justifies the entire thread. you people are awful

as for photography, everything i've learned was on nano-reef and internet searches. i suppose that requires an awful thread every once in a while.

Oh I think it's funny because the pictures really aren't bad at all, not bad enough to get embarrassed over at least

I'm around 1/4 the way into the thread. You certainly have a good eye for composition. I'm still learning, and am considering trying to make a career out of it, so that is why I asked.

thats not the part that gets me...

it's that my "wtf am i doing?" thread has somehow become the *official* hdr tutorial of NR. you guys couldn't have picked a better thread?



thanks hp. good luck with the career. it'd be nice to take photos for a living (my wife wouldn't agree...)
