This is just a couple random ones of what I shot yesterday. Shot in raw, converted to JPG with CS3 and put online. Not edited at all.

So in the top 3 images, what was the subject? Rainier? Out of everything in the photos, only 5-10% is in focus. That's normally not a bad thing in macros, but I think with the super long shots you were taking, it doesn't work as well.

Also, the "blurry" objects in the foreground don't do anything to assist the shot. They don't provide framing or size reference.


I'm not trying to come across super negative. To me it seems you could have framed the shot differently and had it turn out better. My newbie .02.

I have a TON more but those are just a few random ones I picked out of the bunch.

Thanks, KMD.

MM: Yeah, I didn't want to switch to the longer lens and I wanted the bikes in the shot. I wish I had a way to get them in focus AND the mountain. Boo.

PS and thats why i carry a tripod

With the tripod you could take a pic with the bike in focus then take another with the mountain then combine them either HDR or cut and paste

also, closing your aperture will increase your dof. but that may require a tripod, since it'll decrease your shutterspeed.

why raw?

should edit some, sharpen, etc..

I have never ridden a train.

Because CS3 does a better job of making JPGs than the camera.

I only get the feel of everyday snapshots on a family vacation on the first few photos. Now when you get to the Black Guy on the train and the flowers with the mountains in the background, that ias where I get impressed. My Favorite is the one with the black gentleman on the train. The details keep you looking. It has a real feel, I can imagine actually being on the train asking the worker all sorts of questions. The angle and lighting is wonderful. The mountain shot is also nice but a little color enhancement would do wonders. Two very nice shots, Thanks.
