Seeing as we're talking photography lately..... How's the exposure, saturation and contrast on these? My monitor is not calibrated.

pics look very good....love cat pics & that one is great.

the flower pics exhibit what we are discussing in the other thread blowouts & WB issues. to the causal they really pop and look fantastic but then you process many photos and look at the total loss of detail in parts of the petals... glen

The flowers were not overexposed when I took the shots. I brought them up to this level in Photoshop. I think I have a tendency to over brighten all my photos. Acording to my histograms they are not blown. But yeah there is not much detail in some of the white.
I have a wedding to shoot in a couple of weeks. I'm a little concerned about the all that white with the wedding gown and decorations and everything. White is hard to shoot.

i was going to say they're somewhat overprocessed but i'm at work and dont fully trust the monitor. the first photo is a dead giveaway.

see the other thread about shooting white. what you don't want is a whole lot of poor photos due to bad metering off white that the camera is referencing as 18% grey then overexposing everything brighter than it... glen

Damn nice pictures Rotti! Like 'em alot.

The shadow and midtone detail in the white flower looks fine to me. I don't see the burned down gray blue look of an overexposed image darkened in Photoshop. Good job.

Thanks a lot. I'm really happy with these.

What lens are you using on the moon picture?

Tamron 75-300mm. Cheap lens, doesn't get much respect but I took some good pics with it. I just sold it to fund the Canon 70-200mm f/4L.

I really like the moon shot, but the cat one is awesome too.

I was going to start my own thread, but since this is a photo thread thought I'd share one I shot today on a nature walk.
I don't know anything about photography(as far as settings etc..) I just point and click. Its an older 3.2 megapixel camera too, so bear with.
