thanks. trying to get out and shoot more by creating projects for myself. got some ideas now all i need is time or to win the lottery. :sombrero:

i'll look into smugmug. was trying not to pay for anything but picasa is jacked right now. my laptop shows all the albums but my desktop doesn't...

I wanna win the lotto to but I would have to play first. I like smugmug for the most part but not really any other realistic photography scourses out there IMO. a few up and comming but not there yet

Night Shot with my D90. I just can't get the crisp night shots some of you guys are shooting.

You are so close! :wings: Nice shots. Just try different settings to pull out the stars more. From my experience it usually takes high ISO to really see all the stars that your eyes pick up. Like 1600 or 3200. Then just run a noise reduction filter against it to to clean up the noise and leave the stars. Your night shot was pretty blue on my monitor. You could try warning up the WB a tad to make it match what you saw.

Cheaters note: Sometimes I use a grad filter in Lightroom on the sky to drop the color saturation way down in the sky but leave the color alone in the foreground. :elkgrin:

Thanks Brad. I took the shot pretty soon after sunset and there was still a little glow in the sky, maybe accounting to the blue tone. I'll be away from the city lights this weekend if I'm lucky and will bump the iso up and try the noise reduction. I put the camera on manual focus and focused just shot of infinity. Does that sound like good practice?

 

[Tucson T4R]

Yep, each camera lens may be a little different but typically to get the focus right backing off a tad from infinity gets you close. From there maybe you can light up the foreground with a flashlight to fine tune the focus a little more.

I've been down to the swell twice in three weeks. It's only 3 hrs from me. I'm supposed to be down there again this weekend but may have to bail because of work. It's definitely worth the drive if you get the chance.
