D60 Nature Snapshots...

I have posted a few more D60 shots.

http://homepage.mac.com/tonyob/PhotoAlbum23.html

All of these are straight out of the camera!

ISO = 100
Parameters = Standard
Lens = EF 50mm f/1.4 USM

I am not a strong nature photographer - these are mostly snapshots just so you can compare sharpness, metering, colour etc.

Have fun!

Hi Tony

The D60 certainly appears to produce very natural colours in the camera without PS intervention- Wheras the D30's iamges streight from the camera are duller and generally require some correction in PS. As I said in replky to a previous thread- I am not myself in the market for a D60 as I am well pleased with my D30 purchased last July but of course I am interested to see what improvements Canon have made in the D30 upgrade to the D60.

You may not like nature subjects, but you have produced a very colouful set of images which are well exposed and you have a good eye for a subject. Keep at it and I hope you enjopy your new purchase as much I have enjoyed my D30 over the last 8 months of shooting- I take picture with it every day- even though they maybe mundane subjects, just to get experience of shooting in all lighting situations and making adjustments to the way I setup the custom white balance etc- There is always something new to learn with these cameras and that is why this forum and others like it dealing with the D30 and D60 are so important.

Haven't been able to view your latest shots because the server is a bit overloaded but just wanted to say well done on posting them unretouched. I never retouch any of my stuff because :

1) I can't be bothered.

2) If I need to mess with it that much is it really a photograph ? Why not then just copy something and retouch that and save the cost of hardware ?
3) My stuff is allcrap and no amount of retouching would improve it.

Great shots, Tony.
Thanks for sharing!

Tony, I forgot to ask you about the location where you've taken these beautiful pictures. So, where is it?

Thanks,
Alex.

Hi Alex,

It's Stinson Beach just north of San Francisco on Highway 1 (Muir Woods, Marin area). Yesterday was a beautiful day up there!

Thank you for the kind words Roger... I will keep at it. One of these days I'll buy myself a tripod and good wide-angle lens (I found the 50mm a bit limited at it equates to 80mm on the D60).

I think your advice on experimenting with different settings is good. One of the reasons I like digital so much is that I can go out for a day and take hundreds of experimental shots just to get to know the camera and lenses.

Thanks,

Tony

Kind of made me feel a bit homesick for when I lived in Half Moon Bay (before things got out of hand with the growth in the Bay Area). But now I live by the Mountains and that ain't so bad........

I love the coastal fog shot. Not only because I love coastal fog (smile) but because it's not at all mushy; very real and makes me drool. That plus taking some rolls to be developed today. I WANT MY D60 NOW! :
