Very nice shots Mugen910.

Mugen910 · 01-20-2010, 06:21 PM

Thanks Mr. B

I recently read somewhere that when doing a photo with a water reflection that you should focus on the water and it somehow brings out the picture...have you tried/done this?

Yes. D5000 right?

Menu -> custom settings -> shooting/display -> Date imprint -> off

That should take care of the pesky numbers.

My daughter is really interested in art and has been looking at some of my old images that I shot when I a shooter (back in the day before digital). Lately she has been grabbing our little DPAS and today she snapped this:

Not as high quality as other images in this thread, but I was impressed with the composition, especially from a 10 year old who is just starting to pick up on this stuff and who didn't have any coaching.

She has an eye, and exposure can be taught!

Definitely some Natural talent shining through at such a young age

Def a great eye Steve...very nice photo.

Salvelinus · 01-21-2010, 07:11 PM

One of my current favorites.

Wolfgang · 01-21-2010, 07:41 PM

B&W for photo class.

McSmokey · 01-21-2010, 07:43 PM

Very Nice I love the contrast of B&W

Wolfgang · 01-21-2010, 07:54 PM

This same picture was taken on film for my class. I am still in the learning phase with film so i get all my settings dialed in digitally then I bracket my film shots. I will have physical negs of these next Tuesday.

kenstogie · 01-22-2010, 01:36 PM

Not sure why I like these shots but I do.

Mugen910 · 01-22-2010, 03:20 PM

McSmokey · 01-22-2010, 03:25 PM
