Taught my girlfriend how to use the camera a bit; so she goes ahead and takes bokeh LOL. Pretty good doe.
No processing was done

First time playing with manual focus. I feel like such an idiot for not knowing how to manual focus when I played with my friend's camera. I kept turning the zoom in and out; thinking manual focus was hard as ****, but little that I know, focus has its own dial

Processed through Lightroom again.

I had no idea what I was doing, but I was shooting in manual aperture/auto shutter speed mode
I did brush it up a bit in Lightroom though

If I didn't have VR lenses, all my photos would come out blurry

If I didn't have VR lenses, all my photos would come out blurry

tripod? so you can turn off VR too.

Why would anybody turn off VR?

Why would anybody turn off VR?

I read that it can cause the image to not be as sharp as it could be when you have the camera on a tripod and such when VR is on. I don't even remember why though. It was in an old photography book I skimmed through. Don't take my advice lol.

Photo 2 posted :3

Oh yeah, about the VR. Turns out VR was turned off when I took Picture #1. The lens comes with VR turned off LOL

[Shomari]

but manual focus is hard as ****.

[BuDo]

[CrimsonNuker]

[CrimsonNuker]

Updated with pics of my Montreal trip.

Great pics, better pussy

[poehalcho]

photo #8. now that's real good


on second thought: contrast a little too high... just a little :/

[CrimsonNuker]

So I finally manned up and took a quick long exposure shot :3

[poehalcho]

Oooh I love me some highway light trail pics <3
That's a really weird sky color o.o

Think you could make a wall out of this somehow? (cut out the sewer in the lower half lol)

[*BlackFox]

"Photo 11"... Just damn awesome!

[CrimsonNuker]

You guys are giving me too much praise :')
I think the picture is really low quality, it looked a lot better on Facebook because it was scaled down in size, but now that I see it in it's full resolution, the imperfections really come out

Here poe:

Spoiler!

[poehalcho]

I can't help it, I really do love light trails, always have
I think it's something I always play with when I make things in PS.

speaking of which, is it okay if I try touching it up a little?

edit: done
I tried not to increase the contrast too much, but I probably did anyway T_T

Spoiler!

Sadly, the quality is indeed a little bit on the low side :<
the composition itself doesn't quite seem to do it as a wallpaper either

[CrimsonNuker]

Whatever you did made it look better

[poehalcho]

Whatever you did made it look better

- Increased red hues
- Increased cyan hues a little bit
- Increased contrast about 60% (I think, might've lowered it later)
- Lowered brightness a little bit
- Added some orange to the sky
- Added some black to the earth in the middle bottom to minimize awkward light
- Smudged the sky to remove the newly created hue errors as much as possible.

I think that's about it :/

[*BlackFox]

You did a very nice job there @poehalcho
