Both my monitors reckon she's been tango'd too! Either that or you're an orange squelcher.... :D

that nice, rich blues. What did you take photo with (Make/Model)

Nikon f80 with a sigma 28-105m lens. the blue saturation is down to the velvia film that was used. i like saturated colours.

ok, I'm new to this forum too but have been taking pics for some time.

any comments about this? taken in Iceland - I'm rather pleased with it.....

That is a superb picture. I like the graphic quality that comes from taking it flat-on and also the saturated colour with a restricted palette - mostly blue and white with a bit of brown. Is the Iceland sky normally that blue or did you use a polarizing filter?

On a clear day yes, very, very, very bright so the whites caused the metering to underexpose - hence the depth of blue you would normally only get with a polariser - in short no. Ta for the feedback though - nice to know others like the pic.

I'm an immediate fan of this shot, love it! I wouldn't want it tilted at all, like the composition exactly how it is. My only nitpick would be to have it all sharper, the fence and hydrant look a tad soft to me. And perhaps boost up the reds a bit too? But really, it's a stunner.
 
battle of trafalgar re-enactment on wednesday, and yeah... its another B&W :)

Colour is for the paint

i like it it has that old newspaper type image thing about it, however i think it'd be better in colour there's not enough contrast between the different fireworks explosions to warrent black and white imo

Its done in HDR in PS CS2, there's over 500,000 grey tones in that pic - get a better monitor or sort out ya profile ;)


hmm sorry but viewing at work with a standard monitor, for graphic on the web you have to consider what kit your audience may be using... however if you are going for a print verison then this would be a fine method of displaying your shot...
 
also reading the HDR thing you posted ould suggest you needed to have taken at least 3 but prefferably 5 or 7 shots all at different expousures in order for the effect to work ...
