Gorgeous view mdgadley. Where was this taken?

Wish this came out a little sharper, but the net was messing up the focus, didnt have time to focus better




Pretty clear day out except for a few clouds...this one was giving us some shade from the sun

Great pic +Kol! The one from Ciales is my new desktop I love my island.

Just some randomness, but as others have been, I'm experimenting with new ways to post process, going more "artsy" I guess:

Love the shot and post processing, DrBroccoli .

Nice post processing broccoli... But oh dear My dirty mind just won't let me admire the photo without screaming ! PENIS!! sorry

Loving the phoos DrBrocolli - vignette ftw. And maudit - haha

^ erm... WOW! love second one

self exposed!

that image reminds me of this one that i took in NY:



not the same, but the idea is there haha.

Why do you guys use so much vignetting? I think it takes away from the actual photograph by trying to "cover up" stuff.

I disagree. I personally use it because I think it adds to the picture. Using it effectively means using it in a way where it will draw the viewing into the focal point of the photo. It's great when you're trying to bring their focus right where you want it, to easily show the way you want the picture viewed.

For photographs where the subject is smack bang in the middle of the frame, and not using a rule of thirds for composition or similar, vignetting I find is great for drawing attention to the centre of the frame, and as such the subject. Yes, vignetting is an optical flaw, and it might seem weird to deliberately add it in when most lenses have a minimal amount, if any vignetting, but it does have a very pleasing overall effect to some images.

Well, it was the last day of school today before exams and summer break and thus nobody went to class. I took the opportunity to take some pictures. Here is one for now:



(the right eye of the girl on the left of the image...it didnt look like that in photoshop. I will try to fix and then resubmit)

edit, added another one:

Done no PP too them as im lacking software at the min, a bit dark but i didn't want to go lower than 1/30 - ~ 1/60 shutter speed (50mm 1.8 had about 1/320 shutter but was a bit... erm.. useless )

I tried couple of times but never had luck with panning.

Was looking through some pics I took with my Nikon e7600 point and shoot while on vacation in B.C. with some friends from Ottawa a few years ago. Space was tight so I couldn't bring my slr, but I think these are pretty nice. And as always with me, no post processing.
