A little practice never hurt. (photos inside) And a question!

some guy told these were "way too blue for me"

white balance that bad?

Ask him.

The only one that struck me as too blue is the first one. The bridge looks a bit too blue, unless it is actually blue!

its on old blueish grey color i guess you could say. its a little processed so I could warm it up a bit.

I didn't think the others were too bad either, but I'm a noob. This guy is one of the "better" photographers on a local forum I'm on and he tends to ride the high horse a lot

you can do hand held HDR. Photomatix corrects slight shifts very well.

Nice shots! #1 would have really benefited from HDR.

hmm, ill have to look into that. wish my camera autobracketed.

I think your pictures are nice.. I am new too.. But her is my 2 cents on #5. The letters on top of the building.. I know this can be done, but I have no idea how to do it.. Can you take the letters and the part the building they are on off?

Other than that..nice!!

I could, but I wasn't too concerned with it. I knew these weren't 100%, but wanted to share. I may mess with it some later :thumbup:

You get 40 Nikon SB900 on full power and light the crap out of those trees.

:lmao:

Nice shots......!

For #1, there are a few ways to pull that off, and I think the majority of them have been mentioned.

I really enjoy #2,,5, & 8....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks!

I actually liked all of the before's better. I like that building shot directly above though.

thanks! i had a couple comments about them being too cool on a local forum, so i warmed em up a little. not sure which i like of each. couldnt hurt to play around w/ em though, so i did!
