Nikon DSLR "Picture Of The Day"

[Dread Pirate Roberts]

Nice action RC shot, the angle of the front wheels and flecks of dirt off the back make it.

Shooting cars is fun, shooting models is difficult

Anco85,

Looks like it might still be fun. Was the 'smoking' on the sign behind the model intentional?

[anco85]

Indeed it was Kgosden

Went out to Spreckles (a very small town at the base of Mount Toro by Salinas). This is the greeter. Sort of the Jolly Green Giant of his time.

Spent a little more time than usual on this one. Think it came out okay

Apparently shaped like heads of lettuce.

Sorry, but that one went over my head. Are you referring to the weather or my photos? If the latter, I'm working with a small netboook I use for travelling, and the screen colours and brightness are probably very different to what I use at home. Plus I haven't got Photoshop on the netbook!

Photos...

3 of the 4 shots are a bit overexposed (first shot is nice). You can see this in the camera playback if you review in the (flashing) highlights mode. Nikons have a tendancy toward overexposure by about 1/3 stop. I am always fiddling with exposure and toss a lot of shots right in the camera as the overexposures are typically not recoverable, so I tend to err on the underexposure side where I can recover the underexposed parts later.

Just trying to help get some great shots on your odyssey... yes I am jealous...

Have a safe and fun trip.

Trying to channel my inner Lukas.

Using an ND8, I still have to pull my finger out and get a grad.
