    B & W or color ?

    Just wondering what you guys think about this shot. Does the B&W version have more than the Color? Thanks for your opinion.

    Stranger caught in Hungary

    Even if I didn't speak her language and she didn't speak mine, I was able to convey the fact that I wanted to take her picture. I've played around with this shot quite a bit and ended up with an Hyper-realist kind of portrait. What's your opinion?

    Normal vs HDR look for portraits

    I've been working on this project of photographs of piano persons and have stumbled on the use of Photomatix to process single shots into the HDR. look. These are examples of the look of normal and the HDR. What is your preference? HDR look: Normal processing:

    Quiet vs Normal mode

    Maybe some of you know this, but the "Quiet" mode of the D7000 can help to improve sharpness. Here is my "non scientific" test. 2 shots hand held with VR on at 1/25s f8 with the 18-200 @ 200mm. Both are 100% crops at 1250 Iso. This can give you an idea of the effect of the rapid mirror movement...

    Apple Blossoms (heavily filtered)

    I've worked on this shot and had to use the filters in CS5 to give it more impact. Do you think this is too much effect? Is it still a photograph or has it become art?

    To paint or not to paint

    I'm doing work with layers and paint effects and would like to have opinions different than mine about this. Same shot, one with brush effect.

    Japan HDR Devastation

    Found this link in another forum. Very interesting photos all HDR showing the damage done around the Seinsei area where Nikon has it's factory. No wonder the plans for a new model could be delayed... With all there is to be done before life gets back in some kind of normality... So the wait for...

    Similar pictures, 3 cameras, two lenses.

    I was just trying out the new Tamron 28-200 I got for my d700 and then thought of having fun with the 700 and 7000. The two first pictures were done with this lens. The third with the Nikon 18-105 VR that came with the D90. Nothing too scientific since the natural lighting was changing with the...

    HDR tractor

    Hi, I made these two HDR trials and was wondering which you prefer and why. One is a one shot worked with CS5 HDR adjustment, and the other is a 3 shot, Photomatix and then CS5. Thanks.

    HDR forum

    I would like to suggest the creation of an HDR forum. It would be a nice place to exchange and view other people's images. Is that a possible thing? thanks, Marcel

    70-200 VRII or not

    I have a question for which I can't seem to find an answer. Is the non VR 70-200 the same optic as the VRII? I'm kind of reluctant to spend the extra $1,000 for the VR alone, but, if the lens is a re-design, then maybe it could be worth it. But, since I'm not making a living with this thing, I...

    HDR manual mode

    Hi, I've done this shot at the Montreal Museum saturday and instead of using Photomatix, I tried the same technique that was shown with the multiplicity tutorial that one of you put on the forum last week. So, I started with just 2 shots and blended them manually with photoshop. There is no...

    Pre concert prep

    I've started a project about pianos and piano people. I've upgraded my camera to the D700 to get more available light shots and a different perspective than DX. So far, I'm more than happy. Here are 2 captures I did today.
