since I am a student of this , Your commenting with phoenix has totally enlightened me to what I'm supposed to be doing now. I have so much practice with this sort of stuff, with no traing, and now my first digcam is garb now. I had a cybershot too, I loved it for three years daily, I wore the paint off, hmmmm, what should I get?

maybe that's because of your daily lovin'? just kidding...

are you asking me what camera to get? if so: tough one. i'd recommend checking out sites like [link] - my SONY cybershot F717 works pretty well for me...

fuckling amazing as usual from you

the sky at the top is a bit noisy but the colours are great, very nice.

shutter speed was 30 seconds?

boli In reply to ph0enix [2004-04-06 11:31:13 +0000 UTC]

thank you very much!

yes, shutter speed was 30 seconds. the noise became more visible during my levels adjustment (which i did to get these colors). i tried to do something against it, but the top is still noisy...

hmm, thats weird - did you do the levels in 8-bit or 16-bit?

boli In reply to ph0enix [2004-04-07 09:53:59 +0000 UTC]

dunno. whatever is default in PS i guess...

ph0enix In reply to boli [2004-04-08 09:17:39 +0000 UTC]

hehe, 8-bit

if you convert the image into 16 bit then adjust the level and take it back to 8-bit, its much smoother, so that could be why you got crazy ass noise.

or not

Magnificent shot! I've gotta dust off my tripod and try some long exposures. First I need to find a place that looks this nice at 10:30 at night.

Keep up the great work! A for sure.

matthudd [2004-04-02 08:32:06 +0000 UTC]

lovely shot boli, amazing work as per usual.
One thing I would say about the cropping is that the stray branches on the right hand side of the picture distract your eyes a little from the nice reflection..

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

boli In reply to matthudd [2004-04-02 09:30:34 +0000 UTC]

thanks very much for your kind comment!

yeah, i agree on the branches, but i couldn't just crop away so much of the light with 'em... and photoshopping them away is beyond my what-i-do limit (i'd have to file the pic unter manipulation, which i don't like).

The long exposure does make the image sort of pixelated at the top, but the sky and reflection are quite beautiful.

What model of Sony Cybershot do you have?

This picture is amazing, as all of yours are. You live in a beautiful area or at least know of beautiful areas.

Great capture (at the right moment)

thanks for your kind comment!

as to your question: this was the first session i used my newly aquired Sony Cybershot F717 (second hand from * fritsch , who now has a Nikon D70), which is a minor upgrade to my former Sony Cybershot F707.

FatallyXYours In reply to boli [2004-04-02 03:19:26 +0000 UTC]

Ah yes.

I have a Cybershot, too. But mine is just a "baby" compared to yours. I am saving up a newer and better one.

I am dying for a Cybershot 828. It's the new camera that Sony is putting out. It's amazing. It has four colors instead of RGB, it has Emerald. And lots of other great stuff on it.

Anyway. One day I'll be up in your "league"
