*Official* Post Your Pictures Thread

Wow! The lighting in the first, second and last photos is fantastic - especially all of those colours in the second photo! Really good shots Ben! :good:

I was taking some photos today for a computing website which I am making in Dreamweaver, captured this shot of my motherboard (and the bottom of my Sapphire 5870). Looks quite cool I think, haha. :P

Yeah a bit long. The red and green lights are a bit blown out.
 
Amazing cave shots punk, if only there was something interesting to take pictures of here in Kansas other than corn fields :(

And that picture of the motherboard makes me want to try some photography with my PC. But that would mean I would have to clean it, as I have not gave my PC TLC for almost a year...

This is a barn I took a quick picture of on my way to work today. It was cloudy and I made it purple on purpose because I thought it made it look more interesting. Anyway, sometime before they demolish this barn I would like to get a shot of it at night on a clearish night to get a stary sky behind it. I think it makes for a perfect foreground to me as its isolated. There used to be a farmhouse right next to it with a few garages but they tore all that down and just left this barn:



There is also an isolated old windmill right next to my work that the company actually owns the land its on. I will try to get a picture of it sometime this week. Its supposed to rain until friday though.

Thanks for the comments :)

That motherboard is pretty cool Jason :).

G80 I'm sure you can find something interesting, just have to look for it :). And that shot of the barn is actually very good!

Possibly. I could just go into Lightroom and adjust the highlights. I think that's the problem.

Looks alright to me though so I'm gonna leave it.

The power LED is fine, but the green LED is blown out. It does look really cool though!
 
Was walking in the door and found a praying mantis on my porch. So I ran and got my camera and snapped a couple. Also got a few with my 35mm hopefully those turn out as good as these.

They all look very good! No blur at all, so well done. Were they taken with the D40?

Nope, taken with the D5100 :)

The digital image looks good but I'm not fan of this kind of "photography", but you already know that :D

Ah nice. You enjoying the upgrade? :)

And yeah I know you're not the biggest fan of that kind of manipulation, haha. ;)

Yeah I am very much! I'm also happy I went with the D5xxx serie instead of the the D3xxx serie, as you can see the ISO are pretty clear!
 
Pictures I took of the sky on my way to work today. It was an interesting sky all day. Sadly not really any lightning to speak of yet which sucks because it has been cloudy almost all week and it says "thunderstorms" everyday but today was the only day I heard thunder but once I got off work it was over :(

So may have to wait until spring to get pictures of lightning.

You say that, but I can take my D3200 right up to ISO 3200 and the noise isn't too bad at all - especially if you shoot RAW and do noise reduction. ISO 1600 also looks pretty clean, for example, this:

10513452666_88ef005c5e_b.jpg


and this:

8333236323_daa7969a92_b.jpg


were both taken at ISO 1600 with no noise reduction in Lightroom at all (I actually tend not to do noise reduction). I think I definitely increased the exposure on the first one in Lightroom too, which may bring out some extra grain, but it's not really noticeable.

ISO 800 is also very clean as you'd expect and obviously lower than that is also clear.

So, whilst I think the D5xxx cameras may be better at higher ISOs, I don't think they're massively better.

But I'm pleased you're enjoying the upgrade and obviously the D5100 is a big upgrade from the D40. :)

Well what you've seen is ISO800 with no noise reduction. I just got the camera so I don't know all about it but I will probably do test shots of high ISO :).

In the comparison I just find, the d3200 and the d5100 are a tie but here is a good review:

I know hard it is choosing between the two cameras, because I did it. :D

There's literally nothing in it. Where one has an advantage, the other has a slight disadvantage. ;)

They're literally neck and neck in most cases.

The only advantage the D3200 has is more MP. But if you don't have top notch lens it is completely useless as your camera won't be able to get that photo definition. Even 16MP for the D5100 is too much, I am probably using about 10MP at max :). The rest is just making the file bigger :P
