Diluted's Photo Thread!

Some great shots there diluted. You definitely have an eye for a good composition, and I see you playing around with cropping. I like the long narrow pics myself.

Thanks! I got ripped on another forum for a couple of not so great pics I probably shouldn't have posted. Commented on the composition and lack of subject matter (it was trees and the sky). But the comments & criticism definitely helps so I'll take the good with the bad.

Yeah I like the narrow ones too, kind of panoramic while not being a panoramic. Speaking of panoramic pics I'd love to find somewhere to shoot some and see how I do.

I did a few panoramics, then stitch them together using software.
Sometimes too much angle does'nt work out so good, but you can play around with the subject

Those are very cool. I need to get the tripod out and just practice around the neighborhood.

I did that on one of our roads... no tripod so you can see the stitching... but you get the idea of how awesome this road is...

I've done a few also, gotta love Dragon's Overlook =D

Nice Don, hadn't really thought of doing a handheld.

Very nice Ryan!

I saw this article come across my news feed today. Pretty close to the methods I've used before, but articles like this always help me to get out the camera and try again.

Tilt shift stuff is awesome, I just wish the lenses didn't cost so much. Faking it just doesn't look as good

I have worked with tilt and shift lenses. I rented one from Calumet Photo for a commercial project I was working on. It was fun to work with but limited in focal length. I just used my 4x5 camera as you get tilt, shift, and swing.

Took some shots in Baltimore yesterday, tried a few handheld panoramas. They came out pretty well. I didn't bring my camera to work with me so I'll try and get them posted up tonight.

What about panorama with tilt shift..
ok, fake tilt shift. Not as good as the real thing though.
I took this in Cape Town, some people might recognise the mountain.

Those are cool. I really like that effect.

Sorry I haven't gotten to the panoramas. Daughter has been getting really fussy at night so I haven't really had a chance. Here's one I took on Sunday of our friend Kelli holding her. We were there taking pictures of her family.
