But I gave it more go, to put a personal touch on it.  And now I'll stop making GBS threads up the thread with the same image over and over. Thank you for your good input.

While I've never had to rip off my own skin and grow a pair of wings in a hurry, I imagine it must be pretty difficult. Unfortunately, this little guy didn't make it.

I guess it depends on the area, but this is in a super small town where the convenience store section was already closed by the time I took the pic. I've been by to take a few photos at night during storms and fog and no one's come to chase me off yet.

The light in these photos, unless I'm mistaken, is all frosty. How do you achieve this, physical filter or post processing?

Toalpaz posted:The light in these photos, unless I'm mistaken, is all frosty. How do you achieve this, physical filter or post processing? I used a 1/4 diffusion filter. I first got a full strength Tiffen filter, man that thing diffused light.. and it flared so much!! No coatings at all. Just a clear glass. I got a cheap chinese Neewer branded 1/4 diffusion filter after that, to get "less" effect. The 1/4 still is quite strong sometimes, I should have gotten the kit with 1/4 and 1/8. I recommend starting with something like that kit, if you want to try the effect. You could also coat a regular clear filter with hair spray to get a similar effect. https://www.amazon.com/Diffusion-Ci...174&sr=8-3&th=1 Mainly it makes the bright parts of the photo to glow. Depending on strength, they glow more or less. This is with 1/4 too:  These are with the 1 strength Tiffen:   It also makes point light sources a huge blob..  While talking about effects, to get a totally unrelated effect is to put a phone flat in front of the lens. The phone's screen reflects the rest of the image like a dimmed mirror:  Edit2: there's still one photo with the 1 strength Tiffen demonstrating the amount of glow:

Thank a lot, I really got to figure out my filter situation on the sigma ef-s 2.8 17-50 because I also want to do ND shenanigans. That's a good tip on the different strengths of diffusion.

Well I’d recommend a set of Neewer or K&F filters off Amazon. They are affordable and good enough. That is a Sigma, yes? With a 77mm filter thread. You can buy a set of 77mm diffusion and nd filters for $100. Some recommend going straight to 82mm, but in my opinion if a lens needs 82mm it’s too big for me anyways..

Some photos I took after visiting the Ansel Adams exhibit at the DeYoung. This is also something of a test of On1Photo Raw, which I'm trying out. This shot was fairly underexposed; I played around with the midtones, shadows, and contrast sliders. The initial 'AI auto' tone/level adjustment on this was awful; it just flattened everything.  Played a bit with the shadow adjustment here, though not that much.  This one I was seeing what the sharpness tool would do. I also tried the noise reduction but it made the grass look bad.  Test of the spot adjustments. This lens had picked up a fair amount of dust, which showed up most strongly in the sky here. Retouch tool worked well to clear it (there's some I did not fix at all along the right edge of the image, for an estimate of what it was like). This also used the 'Sharp' noise adjustment at a fairly high level, although the JPEG conversion kind of kills that effect.  Did this one using 'auto AI' and left it that way. I think it overdoes things a little (especially the trees) but it's not awful. You can adjust the amount afterward and also see the settings it did, so it's not just an all-or-nothing button. This also has some retouching in the sky.  Tested out B&W effect. I had some trouble using the 'preset' mode and found it easier to just turn on the effect and tweak from there.  This has a few manual level adjustments, and de-noise at a reduced level.

big black turnout posted:How was the exhibit? I've been wanting to go but haven't made it out. I think there's only one more week left It's pretty decent. The goal is to show him in context with earlier photographers as well as modern ones, and it does a good job of that, though I think showing him relative to Carleton Watkins (one of the earliest photographers of Yosemite) in particular was the best. There are a number of nice shots he took around SF that give you a sense of how he just was going out and taking shots around his hometown. And there's a photo of Georgia O'Keeffe that's incredible; I didn't think of Adams as capturing people all that often, but he does it with the same natural way he captures the landscape. It wasn't too crowded when I went (and I bought it the day before) so tickets should be available still if it's not over. I know they extended it a bit but I don't know when it ends; I think you're right about this being the last week.

Tried to cool down yesterday and went for a walk. Nope, still 25C outside. Oh well. Panasonic S1 with the 50mm 1.8, without grip, was my "compact" setup yesterday.        Need to go out around/after sunset more often.

  For the past years I have not been out with my camera as much as I used to and most of the times when I have been out the camera have been left at home, I figured that butterflies would be a start to activate me.

If you don't mind, what's the focal length on these bad boys. I can't stop myself from seeing barrel distortion and I wanted to make sure I'm not imagining things. That being said I love condos and sky, like the gradient you are going for.
