Nikon DSLR "Picture Of The Day"

Thanks Rooz, Love the shots, it looks like he is really having a good time and you have captured it perfectly! the black and white conversion works really well here aswell!

Toriaj - Thanks for the compliment, I was a bit worried about shooting in to the sun but there was nothing i could do about it as the trip to the acropolis was a one time thing so i took the shots anyway! It was actually a really sunny day with no clouds in the sky! It was only f11 because I was using the 10-20mm (which is a slow lens) combined with a polarising filter so it was the smallest i could achieve handheld. Im pleased with how it turned out though, but would like it to be a more contrasty b&w conversion like some other peoples on here (Rooz & Aldor)

Turo - Love the shot, the b&w conversion really makes the boarder pop!

Often I think waterfall shots could have been improved if there was some sky in there (although sometimes it's pretty much impossible, you did a great job here.)

Thanks Toriaj, I was visiting my sister in Park City and we took a day trip up to the Uintas. I took the photo in the middle of the day, but thankfully there were some large, passing clouds that allowed me to get the shutter speed down. I also took this one, which I'm still on the fence about...

More shots of my nephew. He's getting bigger so fast (just over 8kg now). Shot with natural light from a window.

Tiny little church on the side of St. Pauls Bay. Weddings are very popular there but I did not see one whilst i was down there.

Tried using a new PP technique split toning to different shades of yellow/gold

I like it, nice shot & composition :) .. but to my eye .. it's a bit oversharpened and oversaturated assuming you did those two steps and that it wasn't as you saw it.

Crickey you're setting a tough standard to post here:)

Not trying to single anyone out but:
Downby5 love that wide angle waterfall, Craig very cool shot at a cool location, Truro that b&w w/b shot is lovelly. Rooz looks like a double for angry anderson nice moment of humanity (the 1st shot), JTL great composition and execution. Achang, something about that kiddie shot just works for me.

Looking south down State street from Wacker or so, Chicago. Hand-held.
