First time posting photos.

Star of India sailing ship at San Diego Harbor.

1)

20mm f/13.0 1/320s ISO 400


2)

30mm f/11.0 1/250s ISO 400


Still working my way through Bryan Peterson's Understanding Exposure, so I know that needs work.

Somethings I know I dont like:
In #1 the sun is too high, need to get there earlier. Wish I could get that ticket tent out of the foreground, but short of standing on a ladder or a tourists car :mrgreen: , that is about the best vantage point I could get.

#2 is far more "busy" than I visualized. I wanted to show how complex the sailing ships were, but now that I see it on the computer, it's just looking cluttered to me. Not sure if that is a good thing or not.

Other than resizing, no post processing done. Want to get more comfortable with the camera and my technique before I start to try to learn another tool. Walk before you run.

C+C most welcome. OTE.

I was in San Diego last August (2006) and the area by the harbour is quite cluttered .... you #1 shot is great .... although it might have looked a fraction darker with an ISO 200. Mostly I shot at ISO 100 when I was there. But each to their own ... Look forward to seeing more of you SD photos

Thanks for the ISO suggestion Lensmeister, will have to try that next time.

Rest assured I will be posting up more photos.

i do not agree on the second one being to cluttered ... it is full of lines, yes, but that is more like a structure, it is not really filled with lots of different things if you know what I mean.
