I think they are my best shots yet with the 6900.

Pieter,

Excellent! I especially like the structure ones. Some are incredibly calming and peaceful. You did a great job in capturing the feeling of being there.

My mistake, Star Wars fan.
They're both ugly but it was the little one, indeed.

The phrase definitely applies to digital photography, don't you agree?

Thanks Jay

I'm usually a very demanding person (esp. for myself), but I'm actually satisfied with these results. That's probably because the images captured the atmosphere, like you say.

In case you were wondering...

• 100 ISO
• P mode, or aperture priority to play with DOF
• WB: cloudy, except when in bright sunlight (sunny or auto)
• spot metering: for difficult conditions such as under trees (high contrast)

(well lit scenes shot with multi metering)

Pieter,

Really well done. Great sense of light and dimension in the trees and lanes.

What are the odds, right? Good luck!

Thank you, Paul.
Mind you, this is a selection. They weren't all like these, of course.

Very good pictures Pieter, naturally, I like 1262. Personally I would have under exposed it a little. But that's my opinion.


And of course i like the fountain too (1313). Did you try slow shutter speed on that?

That's one of my favorites too. I believe exposure is a matter of taste, but this one pretty much represents what your eyes would have seen on that day. (Or maybe that's just the difference between your monitor and mine.)

And of course i like the fountain too (1313). Did you try slow
shutter speed on that?

I tried slow and fast, but I prefer the freezing of the water drops.

Thanks for your comments. Other people's thoughts make you think about your pictures, try different approaches and eventually... get better results.
