In another thread, some people have indicated that they like my pictures. So, I'm so flattered that I decided to post some more in a separate thread. To start with, these are some pictures from the ordinary day to day life in the city where I live:
Truly beautiful. I agree with Hyo Silver, you have an extraordinary eye for detail combined with artistic expression. Any spare beds for guests to come visit?
Your pictures (both here and in the other thread) are outstanding! Thanks for posting them. Keep them coming, please.
Beautiful. What filters or settings did you use to get that vivid saturation of color? Settings & exposure? I'm just starting to learn how to use my new dSLR after being away from a 35mm for a long while. How quickly I have forgotten the basics is scary. Maybe you would like to give online lessons? Photo tip of the week or some such thing?
The camera is a Nikon D100 DSLR with a Nikkor 24-120 attached. No filters were used. If there is any recommendation that I would give, it would be to learn proper post-processing of the digital picture. Learn how to use PhotoShop (Elements) or similar. One thing I tend to do (in digital photography) is deliberately underexpose the scene by something like 2/3 stops or more. You can correct that afterwards, and it gives you more latitude to play with the colors in post-processing (histogram correction with levels/curves, saturation increase, white balance correction, ...). And it reduces the risk of blown-away highlights, one of the major curses of digital photography.
Thanks for the tips. I just got the Nikon D60 and am amazed at the in-camera editing features. I just need to learn how to use them.
Vtie - Thanks for the awesome pictures. Along with admiring your technical & artistic ability, I'm glad to finally get some sense of where my dad used to occasionally go for business.
