[QUOTE="hark, post: 208368, member: 13196"] After I saw this image of Jake's, I went back to Princeton University a week after the walk trying to replicate it. Mine didn't turn out quite so perfectly as Jake's did. I *thought* I was standing directly in front of the corner, but my perspective is off slightly so the right and left sides aren't exactly even. For those who are newer to photography, wide angle lenses can distort perspective (such as when someone takes a photo of a dog's face and the nose is grossly exaggerated. Although I didn't have as wide an angle lens to use like Jake used here (plus I used a DX camera while Jake's was taken with FX), my perspective was off. It's a much more difficult shot to nail than it looks. And for the record, there was a shot jdeg took which I liked so much I tried to replicate it, too. It's one of the same building where the shadows and light come through the pillars. His shot turned out much nicer. :cool: That day I went back to Princeton, I was in search of a building I wasn't able to find during our Photo Walk. When I finished, I packed my camera away and asked for directions to get back to Nassau Street. I emerged onto the street at a different place and immediately recognized the scene as being quite similar to the one Jake shot with the couple underneath a canopy of trees (a photo above where I asked Jake if he used HDR). There was a guy sitting on a bench with a dog, so I took out my camera and got a shot. I still have to edit it. When I finish editing the photos of my second trip to Princeton, I will post a new thread and compare their 3 photos with mine (don't worry, theirs are all better than mine!) :applause: It makes me appreciate the talents of others all the more because isn't always easy to replicate what someone else has done. I definitely prefer their 3 photos over what I took, but it was a learning experience.
