nice shot. Now its time to put that 20D to use and get some canon shots :p

Nice shot.

The colors are really good. It's hard to get really red sunsets unedited - when you do get them, it's especially rewarding.

thanks for the comments guys! this is one of the first forums i've been in that doesn't seem to $hit all over newbies :)

I think the colors are pretty good but I've always noticed that my nikon was always more cartoony looking than my wifes canon.... we've long since gotten rid of both of those cameras and I'm waiting for my 20D to come in the mail, it was shipped on tuesday :)

here's the color difference i'm talking about:
both shots were within the same minute or so.

What camera did your wife shoot with? I sure like the way yours turned out! I bet it still must have changed fast within a minute...because the cloud formation is different.

hers was a powershot s200

hey the clouds are about the same, they are just cropped differently

Nice shots. The first is special.

[jgbeam]

Wow! Dramatic shot.

Love the aquarium shot, as well as the first sunset. I think the difference is all in the metering, which can vary a lot between brands/models. Exposure for the second sunset was too much an average of the scene.

outstanding!!!! thanks

[clorich]

I that a diver taking a picture from the inside of the aquarium?

[RockOne]

Nice pic of the aquarium. Two whale sharks - cool :-) !

[michael.luczkow]

thanks guys. the diver goes in the tank twice a day and that's a video camera. there's a live feed onto a large projector on the opposite wall. it's so you can get a close up of the fish. i think it's kind of stupid though. who the hell want's to watch a video of that when you can look thru the glass and see it for real?
that's ocean expo park in Okinawa Japan (where I live)

That is exactly what makes this forum the best on the net.

NIce photos, beautiful colors in the first one.

One advice, try to keep the resolution to max 800 on the longest side. This will in most cases result in the best viewing experience.

[michael.luczkow]

yeah sorry about that. i guess not everybody is as fortunate as me (3800x1200 desktop) :-)

[TammieO]

Nice pictures. Which sunset did your eyes see?

[michael.luczkow]

i remember it actually looking like the red one from the nikon.

[cmM]

nice shot, that first one. Really beautiful sunset indeed.

[CRJ700Captain]

Swheet picture dude!

That's a jpg right off the camera. no processing or color effects or anything. i didn't even use a special shooting mode when i took it. that was full auto (not that I'm proud) and i had the flash turned off.

Beautiful sunsets, and the aquarium is stunning. Such as large place. Would love to go there myself. Our Kelly Tarlton's in Auckland NZ, simply lacks the "WOW"
