*OFFICIAL* Snapshot of the Day (one image per post please) #1

remmib · 11-12-2011, 05:13 AM

Some unusually good weather here, it's often just wind and rain here this time of year.

This is Canon 7D + 10-22 @10mm, 65 sec, f/8 and 2 step GND filter.

But I think it was already too dark cause I like the foregrund to be lighter.

great shots guys.

Kinda want to cuddle the lion..... though that's a very scary idea

Plus i'm super allergic to cats....

DnA Diesel · 11-12-2011, 05:58 PM

DC, nice shot, I see you were +2/3EV...did you have any shot higher?

Remmib, that's a very nice shot! Was it one of many, of did you calculate the 65 sec exposure?

Nah, I was down to 1/100th sec and holding 700mm of focal length. +1EV would have been better, but would have resulted in even slower SS. I was at ISO 1600, so I would have sacrificed detail at 3200 or 6400. With the 5D MkII I push ISO more, but with the 7D ISO 1600 is about the limit for getting good detail.

Here's a panorama from my trip to the Grand Canyon last week. Panos don't really work unless you view full screen:

One of a few, starting at 30sec going up to over 90 sec and then the sky started getting blow out.

Cool, Dave. That's a lot of glass to hold on to by hand in those kind of light conditions!

Cheers

Thanks. I'm allergic to cats too. I found out that day that I'm allergic to cheetahs as well, but not allergic to lions.

After seeing those great shots by remmib and dcstep, I think that I'm going to have to step up my game. I've got a new camera (Panasonic G10) and will start using it more often.

That's a good tool, particularly for street shots, scenics, panoramas and nature, when you can get close.

^^^Nice one, Trevor. Good capture.

A lake in a really rural part of Tallahassee. I'm gonna mess around later and see how it looks in B&W.

Given all the stumps out there in the water, I'm thinking that it's manmade.

B&W, high-contrast might be cool. I find that water and sky really benefit from being right at sunrise or sunset. The longer shadows and warmer light make the task easier.

Ah, sweet getting such a gap in the traffic. Nice blur on the wheels. What was the shutter speed? (I'm using FF 8.0 and the EXIF viewer plugin no longer works).
