I appreciate the advice. I think I'm going to try removing the stone from the upper left and see if that helps balance things out, and I'll leave the conduit for now. If anyone asks I can give them some high-brow explanation that it symbolizes how modern technology infects even the ancient structures of the past, or something. Also, content:

All this discussion has been great. But I have nothing to add to it.

I generally never get the urban/parking lot pics that come up in this thread, but that one got a good laugh out of me.

Wafflecopper posted:these are both real nice It's utterly nuts. quote:The principal building, the ubosot is an all-white building with fragments of mirrored glass embedded in the building's exterior. The ubosot embodies design elements from classic Thai architecture such as the three-tiered roof and abundant use of Naga serpents. "Inside the temple, the decor swiftly moves from pristine white to fiery and bewildering. Murals depict swirling orange flames and demon faces, interspersed with Western idols such as Michael Jackson, Neo from The Matrix, Freddy Krueger, and a T-800 series Terminator. Images of nuclear warfare, terrorist attacks such as the World Trade Center attack, and oil pumps hammer home the destructive impact that humans have had on earth. The presence of Harry Potter, Superman, and Hello Kitty confuses the message somewhat, but the overall moral is clear: people are wicked.

Helen Highwater posted:Wat Rong Khun, Chiang Rai. This place looks wild! Big McHuge posted:Getting through my Ireland photos, slowly but surely. There were some waterfalls. Good stuff! A question about lenses: It is worthwhile to upgrade from the kit lens for travel photography,? I just use my Nikon 18-55mm and, in general, I think it does a really nice job. I also have a 35mm prime, but I always feel a little too close when I'm using it. I've looked at other lens, but they all seem really expensive, large, or limited in some other way. Am I missing out on something by using my kit lens? Would you recommend anything in particular? I'm not interested in selling photos, but I'm interested in improving my photography. I know that working on my craft is the best way, but equipment is a consideration too. Anyway, here's a castle that was along the Rhine River in Germany. It's Rheinstein Castle.

I know that working on my craft is the best way, but equipment is a consideration too. I'm kind of in that same boat. Most of the pictures I took in Ireland (and Iceland before that) were using my 18-55 kit lens. It's probably fine, and I probably just need to improve my technique, but I feel like I'm missing out on sharpness when I got to post-process, and that's with using a tripod. I'm also using an entry-level Canon Rebel T6 so megapixels might also be part of it. From my extremely limited experience, I have a feeling that working on composition and light will go farther than a new lens or camera. For travel it's particularly difficult because you are usually shooting in sub-optimal light conditions and with time constraints (ie- you don't have hours to walk around a scene to find the perfect comp, you might only have 5 minutes or even less sometimes). Just keep shooting and going to cool places. Photo Content:  IMG_2677r by Kevin Strzalka, on FlickrMy favorite pano that I've done so far.

Sharpness on all lenses looks bad if you pixel peep too much. Cheap lenses will absolutely look worse but if you're zooming in 2000% percent and are unhappy that you can't resolve mosquitoes the issue isn't the glass. It matters even less if you're exporting for web consumption. At the resolutions people see your images only missing focus or kicking your tripod are going to be visible.
