First try with new camera

[thebeginning]

here is a picture from my first set of film pictures with an SLR. Several pictures turned out blurry, but it was probably because i didnt have the camera on a tripod (and 8-15 second exposures will do that to you if you are using a fully extended zoom lens plus a teleconverter ;-) ). I have learned my lesson though, and i do have a really nice tripod, i was just too lazy to get it out . Here is one of the sharper ones...It was actually extremely sharp, but the scan softened it up, which i actually think i like better. no editing.

i know it isnt much, i just thought i would post one for the heck of it.

i love winter branches against the sky. try working the contrast a bit and maybe utilizing the burn tool in PS, if you have it; works wonders for me. maybe you can clone the lower tree out too.

by the way, you can send me your tripod since you don't use it...mine fell apart last weekend. :mrgreen:

ha. no i definitely use my tripod, just not this time. yeah i have no idea what i was thinking with that tree at the bottom. very distracting. i might try cloning that out.

yes, i have PS.
