Photography exercises



Last thursday I spent almost the entire day on trains. I experimented. Some results were rather crappy, some not!

I really like the first and the third one. The soft warm brown blurriness makes the dead grass and weeds look good. :)

I thought so too. And my camera settings made it look like it's summer. Which.. well.. it was very grey that day.

:D

gorgeous, hun. My fav is the window/blurred background one. :)

You mean the third from the bottom?
Thank you!

Pretty.

I really should watch that tutorial you linked me to.

And I should post the pictures I took yesterday, even though they can't measure up to yours.

The tuts are amazing. Though I'ms till having trouble with some basics.

And I have an awesome lense. I think that is part of my success.

Well, I am still having trouble with all the basics. ;)

And yeah, the lens is not the best one. It's just the one that came with the camera. I keep meaning to buy additional ones, but I always seem to be needing to spend the money elsewhere. But one day I will be able to afford new lenses. :)

Basics take some time.

and the lense responsible for the aesome pics is the cheapest you can buy for a canon.

Feste Brennweite, hohe Lichtempfindlichkeit.

Just watched the tutorial vid and my mind is blown. I need to play around with those soonish.

and the lense responsible for the aesome pics is the cheapest you can buy for a canon.

So what you are saying is that I suck and can't blame my lens? :p

Can I at least say it is because I have an inferior Nikon camera instead of a Canon? ;)

my favorite is the first one :)

Mine too!

Oh wow. WOW. These are all so gorgeous! How do you do it?

[identity profile] elli.livejournal.com 2011-02-22 10:48 am (UTC)(link)
Point and shoot ;) Mostly. I did some setting experimentation on the train.

[identity profile] bunnyflower.livejournal.com 2011-02-23 12:57 am (UTC)(link)
I love these! Particularly the first, and the one where you can see the water stains on the window. Beautiful :)

Die ersten drei sind spitze, aber am allerbesten gefällt mir das Fenster mit dem Regen <3
