If youre into photography, a tripod is a great tool... dont go cheap either and get the thirty dollar one, because in year youll find yourself in line at best buy pist off that you didnt buy the better one the first time.

 

Yeah, I'm going to buy one soon. I was using a VERY cheap tripod on these, but it's all I could get my hands on at the time. Also want to buy a new lens and flash, not to mention everything I want for the car.... I need more $

Everyone needs more money!

I think you need to stop doing the slight blur effect. It's making them seem almost out focus. The HDR stuff is looking pretty good, but still a little fuzzy.

Every effect or filter you use in photoshop is going to add a little bit of noise to the photo so if it wasn't a super crystal clear photo to begin with the noise is going to add up quick.

My brother just dropped $400+ on his Manfrotto, that thing is bad *** though.

 

To each their own. I guess I should put the originals side by side, because in most cases the filters helped reduce the noise. Main thing is I need to get a better tripod and remember to check the ISO

 

No doubt, every photo you take and edit you learn and get better. My brother has been shooting for about 7 years and he learns something every shoot he does.

 

It's nice to see pictures of your car on pavement though!!

 

Yup, had tah driive dern neer 30 miles just tah fined wuhnaa dem der hard-paved roads.

 

they're all so blurry!

 

Well, after catching so much crap about the filters, I asked a professional photographer I know for her opionion, just to see if I had lost my mind. She said one of her favorites was this one:



the one everyone seems to complain about.
She told me: "well I like it, tell them they can stick it in their ear."
Her words, not mine.

But hey, if it will make you guys happy, I'll go borrow her D200 and take shots in full sun at F22 and then jack up the contrast... that should clear up any blur.

 

This is my fav pic from the set, the sky looks crazzy, and the pic just flows.

 

I never said I hated the photos!! I think they're great.

You might want to ask her to borrow a canon LOL

Damn nikonians.

 

Thanks dude. I LOVE what HDR does for the sky. Now I can't wait until we have one of those crazy looking storm fronts coming through. I'll be rushing outside to take pictures and everyone around me will think I'm insane

 

Why would she have a Canon???? I said Professional photographer!

hehehehe, I'm just giving you a hard time. My first camera was a Canon, but it was just a POS... I mean PAS

I know you were just voicing an opinion, I wasn't really complaining about your post, more so just on a rant because ShanesG said they were ALL blurry, and had nothing really constructive to say, unlike your posts.

 

Haha, I know.

The feud between Nikons and Canons will always be there.... unless one buys the other. Which I doubt would ever happen, but would be cool.

 

Nikonians FTW!

We have a D90
