rainbownater 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2008 Fantastic photos...............I especially like the most recent one. What camera and lens setup are you using. I'm just a new comer to the high end cameras and have been looking at getting a nikon d80 or the likes? Looks like you have a nice set up would be interested in more details, thanks and great photos.

Hi Rainbownater It was taken with a D300 with a 18mm x 200mmVR lense. The other lense I have is the 80 x 400 VR. I still don't know what I'm doing and trying to learn all I can. I went with a really nice camera and a few lenses. I'm to old to learn several different cameras These guys in this forum have been awesome and know thier stuff. I have learned a bunch. Hang out in here and share like the rest. Ask questions and everyone will help. Hope that helps. I'm way behind the learning curve but will help where I can.

Wulff 0 Report post Posted November 19, 2008 Nice Lynn. When the suns that low, theres not alot you can do to avoid silohettes other than adding a Grad ND to hold back the sky a bit. First two I like and 3rd has a nice array of colours in the sky. To my eyes and taste a tad over saturated but thats completely subjective. Some people like the colors saturated and some dont.

Hi Wulff One of the next purchases is the Grad ND and a Macro Lense and a welll you know, cant have enough stuff. On the picture though. I went back and looked and the original looks pretty much the same. Not sure I really tweaked anything if I remember. Would you tweak it to lighten it up some?

Wulff 0 Report post Posted November 22, 2008 lol we can never have enough stuff. Everytime I think Im done buying something else comes along. Its a money pit. "i" personally would try to mute the colours a hair, notably the reds..you can do that in PS by selecting either the red hues or red saturation levels. Not alot mind you, just a bit. But like I said potato/patato. Saturated sunets register with some people and not with others. Theres no right or wrong. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
