this was in the dark with city lights. at ala moana park. you can do these to practice.

I normally find landscape shots a bit boring. I really like this one.

Definitely print worthy.

Looked him up, looove his stuff, his models are gorgeous too. Natural light has always been my favorite, although studio fashion is great too. I just think that natural sunlight is the best source of lighting

Yup, its always nice to see his work and he also posts on here from time to time. If you haven't checked out ricks work he does a lot of cool studio stuff AND he posts in this thread on occasion

The clouds were heading towards me on this night:

Darin nice milky way and perseids photo, Harm and Baan nice nightscapes.

Stupid cat.... We ordered a tripod for dad's birthday, and when it came, the legs were perfect, but the head was broken. So I got a return number for it, but didn't get it packed up yet, and it was sitting in the living room, set up. WHERE do you think the cat sharpens her claws? Of course, on the grips. Now we can't return it. She's a likeable enough cat, but I'm not happy with the little varmint right now.

So, you procrastinated the packing up, and it's all the cat's fault. I don't think so.

I'm on the cat's side. You don't leave things that are important or breakable lying around where they can be gotten to by pets or infants. Everyone with pets or infants knows this, or will be given the opportunity to learn it damned quickly. You been given a learning opportunity. Whether you'll learn is a different matter entirely.

Yeah, you would be.
Not really, it just got here yesterday afternoon.

It's not really breakable; or at least, I didn't think it was. As much as she gets gotten after when she claws the chair, you'd think she'd have known better.

Sound like the voice of experience.

True, but typically, a tripod would be thought of as 'unbreakable' from a cat's standpoint.

As of now he has 9 cousins on his mum's side of the family and 2 on my side. We know what mischief kids can get into!

Or so you thought!

Even a goldfish can bugger up a tripod!

Those lenses tend to be the sharpest when wide open and get even better when you start stopping down. Some of the slower aperture lenses don't even perform their best until you get all the way down to f/11 but even then won't be as sharp as the more expensive faster lenses which are often built with better glass and coatings.

Thanks but this is where I'm getting confused-typically landscapes are shot at f8-f15 for depth of field. Why would you want f2.8 for example?
