I love this. looks like an impossibly rich watercolour. hmm, did you blur the background in photoshop?

Nope! The only photoshopping I do is removing artifacts if the digital sensor on my Nikon D80 doesn't pick up a color right or for color filters. Other than that I tend to just do natural light photography. For this photo I did use Lightroom's color filter to bring out more color (I actually used the "Yesteryear" preset because I haven't gone into much detail with tone curves).

All of my shots are with manual telescoping style Nikkor lenses, meaning no light metering or autofocus. I do it all by hand! That shot was with a 50mm F1.8 lens which simply brought the depth of field down and a polarizer to get rid of reflections/washout from the moisture in the flower petals.

Was there a mirror, outside? I think it's really neat that you see someone nonchalantly taking a picture with coffee mug in hand while a mouse simply chills out, unafflicted by the proximity of a human. This totally adds to the composition for me.

That's my sister in the background, was a nice treat since she doesn't live here and was just visiting for a few days.

That makes the photo even more interesting to me. Good work!

Shanna should have told me there was this thread here. Just a few for now. Maybe I'll throw some up later.

I do like this photo but I'm torn on the liquid on the glass both inside and out... the sweat on the outside gives it very natural look but leaves it shining at weird angles. You got a VERY narrow DoF on that... what is it, a 1.8, 1.4?

Taken with a 50 mm - F/1.8 lens that I haven't played around with much yet.

Learn to love it! That's one of my most used fixed lenses, moreso than a 35mm. It's perfect for portraits and with a large aperature you can really focus in on objects or do low light shots with relative ease.

Pacific Ocean off Kaua'i

The colors are very beautiful in that photo!I love the view but I dislike how in every ocean shot I've ever seen the water looks fuzzy as though it had aliasing problems. It's a product of the lens/sensor, but that always bugged me.

Low-light and lots of tiny waves. I was using a 70-300 for it too. I just loved the colors from the sun on the clouds and ocean.


Minolta Maxxum 7000i Fuji 200ISO Film

More film pictures from my old college days(*cough2002/3cough*) - I think this was actually a color slide negative I had.


Another film shot, Tri-X 400ISO developed at school(same as above)
More film - I actually sold a digital of this on Etsy. Pretty pleased because it was in the negative degrees that night.
