The black and white thread (film or digital)

My first stab at hdr imaging.

Nice range of tones now, was it a bright overcast sky? That usually forces a silhouette.

Cool shot. I like how subtle the difference in tones are.

Nice use of selective focus there, I like the tunnel shot, and I'd lose the wires in the last shot unless it offends your sensitivities to manipulate the image

Love the first waterfall Isaac, I can't decide if the mono or colour version is better, I think the colour version had a little more luminosity in some of the stalactites.

EDIT: OK I just found the colour version, it's the other way around, I think this is better. Heck I dunno, that's the trouble with having both, they each have good features and it's hard to decide. This happens with me all the time when I try a mono version of a shot.

This is a test
Using the black & white grainy option (so this is why it also looks grainy too) on my new Canon Rebel T5i, and using a Canon Speedlite 430X II pointed towards the ceiling.
I mainly have been shooting this in full auto mode as I do not know what the heck I am doing.
For these two shots I used Shutter-Priority AE for the first one that lets me fool around with ISO, AP, etc.
For the second shot it was in auto mode set to the Landscape one.

I noticed with the first picture where I was able to mess with a few settings that the headstocks have shadows, but the second picture on auto mode and landscape, there are no headstock shadows.
I have a long ways to go on reading a "Dummies" book I got for this camera, as this is my first camera where I have ever ventured away from full auto mode.
Need to read up on how to use this camera on a tripod to capture the night sky when camping.
I would like to learn how to set it so it takes a long exposure and shows streaks as the stars move across the sky.

I would rather see guitars in color. Its a waste to not be able to see the depth of sunburst, etc... on them.
