Photography Bug

It has become apparent that Fabio and I have caught the photography bug. So much so that we both bought brand new cameras. Fabio ordered the Canon Powershot G9 while I ordered the Nikon D300.

Both of our cameras arrived last Friday, giving us the weekend to get our first impressions and grab a couple shots. WARNING: we suck

So without further ado:

and here is mine

Where did you buy your D300 from? There's too many stores to choose from!

It is good for a designer to get better with a camera. I myself recently got the Photography Bug :).

Not only do you have your own images to use for design you also improve how you compose things, you can take a picture that doesn't look right and know you can fix it later with a few simple tweaks.

Best of luck to you both with your new camera's.

Constantin check out www.dpreview.com . They have some really in-depth camera reviews and you compare the cameras side by side. This is what made me choose the D300 over the 40D.

O and a couple days ago you probably saw the post on how to make fake HDR pictures of graffiti. I have been doing that effect to normal pics for a while, but this was my first "True HDR" Picture. I will write a tutorial on the 3 ways i know how to do HDR. Fake HDR using Photoshop's Exposure Settings, Fake HDR using RAW Settings, and True HDR using at least 3 exposures. And then you can compare the results yourself

I've lived in the U.S. my whole life and thought adieu was the right way. Thanks for letting me in on the right way. :)

HDR enhances the photo quality and detail . . . How about showing us the picture before the HDR editing . . .

Nice photos.
Just because this is what excites me, I looked up adieu and ado, and it looks like ado would be the winner here although I did find an example of adieu being used here: http://www.yourdictionary.com/adieu

Damn english!

I just noticed a little blooper in my image. You can see a reflection of my tripod leg down the middle. Darn it! That's what i get for shooting behind a window.
