[BigFish]

I dont know much about pictures but those look really good to me.

[nihonjin_anemone]

Now come on..someone of your IQ took those??? No way!!! Haha, nah..great pics..I love water :wink:

[Pineapple House]

Thank you for your wonderful comments.

I was playing around on Adobe and reversed the colors around on two of them. Here they are..

from a free lance photographer....those are some really nice images. that's an understatement...AWESOME IMAGES!!!

you have an eye for balance and counter-balanced subjects! great shooting!

you also have grasped what's commonly known as the "law of thirds."

when shooting imagine either vertically or horizontally the frame in thirds. try some creative shooting, and put the subject say in the bottom left hand corner, or top right...use your imagination.

Nice Pictures.
What camera are you using?

[phistio]

i believe he's using the Sony 707...5+ megs

[Irisservice]

I have to take my nikon 5000 outside to do some nature shots. Thats were my F5 was awesome.

This is another topic in which I have a good bit of experience (unfortunately, reefs are not one of them). I have my own color/B&W darkroom, have sold several photos, and have even done one wedding as a professional (NEVER AGAIN!!!!).

I can say with authority that those are VERY well done-Nice work

I may get a few of mine up for fun too.

[surgeon67]

Nice Pictures.
What camera are you using?

In my experience, it has VERY little to do with the camera. If you know what you're doing, you can take excellent photos with the most basic equipment.

[Pineapple House]

Thanks for the wonderful comments!! :-D

Irisservice,
Phistio was right. It was a Sony Cybershot F707 :)

Phistio, thanks for the tips. I'll hopefully be taking some more when I have some time :)

Graham

[on_fire_8]

How much did that camera cost?

Great Pictures!

[phistio]

it retails for a grand...but you can find it sometimes for $799...but be leary of grey market camera warranties... :shock:

[Blodlizrd]

You don't happen to have this one in 1024x768 do you... *dreams of wallpaper dancing through my head*

[Zayetsfoot]

nice picks PH. I have the 717 and I cant take pictures like that! It seems like I can only capture nice photos with my SRL.

Maybe I need to set down and really work on my camera~!

Jason

[surgeon67]

Thought I'd try to scan a few of mine.... not sure how these will look, but here goes...

[surgeon67]

a few more...

[Pineapple House]

Zayet,
Thanks for the wonderful comments. You should be able to get some exelent macro shots witht the 717. Just start playing around with the camera, and trying out new functions. That's exactly what I did :) And remember to Have fun! :wink:

Surgeon,
Exelent shots! :-D I love the purple flowers and the church w/ sunset. They're great!

Graham

[Pineapple House]

Surgeon,
Just saw the new post...some of those shots are amazing! The clouds and the bird are great! Same with the grasshopper.

May I ask what camera you're using? :)

Graham

[surgeon67]

Thanks PH... I'm kinda fond of the grasshopper myself.

[surgeon67]

Most of them were taken with an old Canon AE-1. Some, like the colored clouds were with a model A-1. I have some better ones but I have them too big to scan. No trick photography or darkroom tricks except with the colored clouds... it was a multi-exposure.

[phistio]

since you like the grasshopper one...i played with it just a little bit...

[Pineapple House]

Phistio,
That looks awesome!!! :shock:

Graham

[phistio]

well...
i broke down and got a fuji s602 zoom...

this camera is outstanding! i've been playing with it the past few days... :roll:

it has some very nice features...not to mention a 6.2 megapixel mode. in fact, the memory card that came with it, will not even take one finest quality picture, as it's far too big.

anyhow, you will be seeing several pictures that the s602 is capable of generarting...

what do you think of these macro functions??? :shock: :shock: :D

[AWestphal]

Great Pics. I really like the leaves with the water drops. Very nice. Impressed, I bet pictures of your tank looks great!!!

AJ~!

[phistio]

[AWestphal]

They just keep getting better and better, WOW really impressed but I have to say the rain drops on the leave is still my favorite.

Keep up the Good Work~

AJ~

[phistio]

one more...

[steve1s]

Cool effects Phistio!! 8)

I especially like the first one... Photoshop?

Cheers
Steve

[HoopsGuru]

That caterpillar is a very cool picture.

I'm using the Olympus 3020, its really good in both regular and macro modes to just point and shoot.

All these great shots make me want to go out and take more pics!

[phistio]

yeah photoshop... 7.0 the first is "glowing edges" the second is "inverted" colors. and the third is pushed a bit.

i've been taking pictures non-stop since i got the s602... :shock:

[steve1s]

I borrowed a friends camera yesterday to take a few of my own... low and behold I found a bonus... 3 zoo's in the cluster I didn't even know I had... :P

Cheers
Steve

[phistio]

it's official...I LOVE THIS CAMERA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock:

took these two nights ago during a nice little summer thunderstorm...i have more if anyone would like to see... :wink:

[reeferdude]

VERY COOL! GREAT JOB. YOU SHOULD SUBMIT THOSE TO A MAGAZINE OR SOMETHING, LOOKS LIKE PICTURES I SEE INNATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC.

[matrixnyc]

Amazing photos phistio.

Gonna have to dust off the camera and take some pics to see if I can compete with yours :)

[phistio]

went to the zoo...

[Pineapple House]

Phistio, Nice!

Here's a picture I took of the Caterpillar fully grown.

BTW- Visit my webshots album (see profile; homepage)

[Pineapple House]

Here's a cool one I got of a Moth.

[Pineapple House]

Here's a front shot (this moth was around 3" long!)

[Pineapple House]

Phistio,
I was playing around with your image. Tell me if you like it :)

[phistio]

nice G!!!

how about some of those pics from your vacation? :D

[Pineapple House]

Here's a few

[Pineapple House]

A few more

[phistio]

a friend of mine took this while she came to chicago... :wink:

we got a ton of great pictures... this was actually taken in color, but of course i had to play with it in photoshop.

[Fiji Live Rock]

Mmmmmm....BW....I LOVE BW film! It is soooo forgeving and makes WONDERFUL contrasts in the right settings! :mrgreen: :D

[phistio]

you be the judge...here's the original color. one thing you may notice is digital noise. it was one reason i chose to go black and white...easier to mask the pixelization...

technical note:

this was shot with an olympus C-720, a four megapixel camera.

[VNVixen]

I like them both for different reasons. The B&W is very classic and sharp, but the color, gives mood that the B&W doesn't capture. :wink:

[Brando]

nice!!

Couldn't have said it better myself! :wink:
