Nice shot!!!

But, why can't you just wear a watch like everyone else?

 

[Just-Clayton]

That cat has evil things on it's mind! LOL!

I did this shot the other day on my route. I wanted to see what they would look like in hdr. This is one thing I like about the 300s. I dont have to manually adjust my exposures like the 3100.

 

[Just-Clayton]

Took a shot of Venus and Jupiter coming back from taking daughter home. I had set the tripod up but must have bumped it taking the shot. I was trying to hurry and it was cold.

 

[Just-Clayton]

I was playing with sb-700 tonight.

I dont have to manually adjust my exposures like the 3100.

Newb please clarify this for me...maybe I don't know what I am doing when it comes to HDR (wouldn't surprise me at all)...when I make a HDR photo I set my D5000 for an EV range something like one stop above and one stop below..I hold down the shutter button it fires off the 3 shots...it is changing the shutter speed to pull this off...Surely the D3100 has this feature too...

 

[Just-Clayton]

no. The 3100 doesnt. I have to use a tripod and actually change my EV settings. There isn't any bracketing. This is one reason I got the 300.

 

[Just-Clayton]

i had to get up at 4:30 to take my daughter to work.

 

[Rick M]

Fantastic Shot Newb, Pays to get up early!!

 

[Just-Clayton]

Thanks Rick! Im going to try and get up earlier tommorrow if its clear. The moon was getting too low and I wanted to be right over the river. This way I dont get the river bank in the picture.

 

[Just-Clayton]

I had a busy weekend doing one of my other hobby/jobs. I get asked by my sister-in-law every year to referee their Indoor soccer tournament. This year I have hit 30 yrs of soccer in my life, from playing, coaching and reffing. I would show pics of it but, didn't have time to shoot. I did finally get a picture of my track record along with three other team mates holding the 400m relay record for almost 30 yrs.

 

[Just-Clayton]

Well, I tried my hand at candid street shots. It was actually pretty fun to do! This lens does ok. It's nothing great.(Tamron 70-300mm)

The unicycle is great!

The first one reminds me of a guy I used to know named Charlie...also a very good shot...well done sir...

 

[Just-Clayton]

The first guy is one of our local window washers. I see him every day!! He sat down with me after i took the shot.
