*Official* Post Your Pictures Thread

If you want the longest reach possible, like sports or birds, yes, but of course you are already cropping the photo in-camera, so you can't crop it as much in post, which is why FF lenses are great for landscapes where you want it wide angle.

Yea. But Ill probably never have a full frame anyway due to price haha. I dont really see myself replacing my D3100 any time soon, it does everything I need it to. Even though I like the picture quality of my Canon S110 alot better, but that might just be because of the kit lens.

I can change the exposure compensation on my camera with the touch of a button, but even then the few seconds it takes me to do that and having to move the camera slightly would ruin it I feel unless I used a tripod.

Which is probably true, if your camera needs to be adjusted manually for different exposure settings, you should use a tripod. HDR programs can compensate for very slight movements, but nothing more.

Yup when you load the photos into Photomatix it realigns your photos if it needs to.

I highly recommend using Photomatix rather than Photoshop for HDR.
 
Alright well here are my first HDRs.... Sad to say, I probably wont be doing anymore. At least not with this camera. The 2-3 seconds it takes me to change the EV on the camera is enough to ruin it as seen here:

This one was processed in Photomatix 5:



This one was processed in Photoshop 6:


Looks like neither program is really gonna fix all that motion from shot to shot... I really spent a long time trying to make them look better, and I couldnt.
 
I know Geoff will stab me for saying this, but honestly try making them out of one shot. You won't notice too much difference and you won't have any of those motion problems.

You can try it, it gives photos that processed look but you don't increase dynamic range.

I have tried that. I think the HDR Toning in Photoshop looks better.

Here are some of the other pictures I took:







I still have alot more pictures to process, but I think those are the best ones. Kinda had a bad shooting day I guess since I was focusing on trying to make HDRs which didnt pan out for me.

Im also trying a new thing with using my real signature :D Ill probably change that up when I have the time.

Also, the first picture was taken using the walmart SunPak filter pack with a circular polarizer and UV filter. I shot my first half using those, then decided to pretty much just throw them away because all they really do is tint my lens. If you look at the last picture, I think my skies come out pretty darn blue :p

Yeah some pictures work in HDR, some just don't. It's the way it goes but in my opnion Photomatix is a lot better than the HDR stuff in Photoshop.
 
^ First two are lovely - very nicely processed. Well done! :good:

I also really like Geoff's B&W street scene and Travis' awesome shot too - great photos! Going to have to favourite these on Flickr! ;)

Here are some recent ones from me!

Any Harry Potter fans on here will like these few from the Warner Bros Studio Tour in London. ;)
