I've got a bunch of shots that I can upload...but I haven't had time to go collect them all off my HD's. This shot is one that I took at the Colleville-sur-Mer American Cemetery at Omaha Beach in Normandy, France while I was there for 2 weeks working (yes getting paid to have fun and sight see) for the Army driving generals around in France. Only thing done to it was adjust contrast, as well as process into an HDR image from 3 shots. I liked the look, made it look old and weathered, and the cross just stands out. I will post more shots later after I find them and get them uploaded. There were 307 graves out of 9387 there just like this...goes to show you how costly some wars are...they can't even identify every body. Truely sad.

Those a gorgeous photos. I especially love the ocean shot :yes:

How much did your camera cost? The cheapest I've found it is $1700 :|

I got it for 1500 on ebay....there are deals around you just gotta search for them...alot of retailers sold it for 1700, but i kept looking and was able to snag a brand new one on ebay for around 1500. THe camera was by far not the most expensive piece lol.

When I got started, i bought a D1 (the first pro body digital camera by nikon...it cost me a nice 5000$ :) lol lenses are by far the most expensive....I've probably gone through about 10,000$ or more worth of gear from when i first got into it.

Thanks for the compliments guys. :)

Great shots metro that place looks lovely the colours are fantastic and really life like.

You did a good job or hand held I think it would be a fantastic place to visit when you know there is going to be some fog in the early morning thats if you can make yourself get up that early.

I have really started to experiment with white balance even though I shoot in RAW. I have been changing up a lot of what I do lately like not using HDR very much. For all of my shots I was working with custom white balance calculated from the scene. I am trying my best to get in right in camera with very little post processing needed. Here before long I will start experimenting with neutral density and graduated neutral density filters as an alternative to HDR. A good example of what you can do with just some ND and GND filters would be the work of Marc Adamus.

I hate you metro. Where the HELL do you find these places. There's jack **** for scenery around here :(

All of the places I have shot are within a 3 hour drive, mostly an hour or less for most places. I am lucky to live where I do.

metro you might want to invest in a hand held light meter, like a good sekonic (358 or 558 are very good, i own the 358) you can get attachments like spot meter cones to go on it to allow you to get very precise exposure information for you scene, thus letting you set your cameras settings to get the shot right the first time in camera without requiring much post processing. I find when shooting people with a nikon i tend to have to over expose 0.3 - 0.7 to get skin tones right, but its different for each shot.... If you meter with a handheld you'll get much better first time shots.

    • RevPDF 4.5.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

      Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) and both trigger the dialog above.
