that first one is sick.

 

[nokfir]

wow those pics are awsome

that lens captures alot of color. what kinda cam/lens setup u got?

 

[TB]

taken with a nikon d200 with a sigma 170-500mm uv w/ a 86mm polarize filter....that's with the saturation, vibrance both set at 0....ever since i got this lens i have loved every minute of it iso @100 shutter @ 1250 white balance set @ 5400 +6

 

[DAG]

I'm deeper
nanner nanner :silly:

 

[Wes K]

The first one is rad!!!

You are the only person ever to get a barrel on a lake!!!

 

[DAG]

however i lost my nose piece

 

[b.lee]

Sweet pics TB

 

[TB]

i've got deeper one's but when i loaded my camera yesterday to proof the shot's i took out at the lake i was in awe of the barrel...i wish i could post it full size

 

[heebs12]

Thos pics look bad ass! Nice camara!

 

[Layne]

First one is crazy awesome. Good job.

 

[CarterB]

super cool////i lost my nose piece like that on a lake too ....i wish i could learn more about my canon xti so i could get my settings right. it still catches some cool shots your eyes miss in real time i might post some pics once i get one my other computer

 

[TB]

the xti although an entry level body can do some amazing work....while having the right equipment does play a role, someone that truly knows, and understand how their equipment work's and what you can get it to do will take better images every time over someone that just picks up the most expensive camera and thinks it's just clicking the button. here is a few non ski related photo's i did with a canon rebel series xti...we have one of those in the house as well

Do you do alot of post work to your pics? it looks like the saturation is heavy on most of those pics, nikon and canon...

 

[TB]

99% of any post i work i do is mostly just slight changes in white balance, exposure, and contrast..i love contrast....the bridge pic above does have a few saturation tweeks in it just to make the color pop a bitit is obviously a long exposure 1:20 if i remember right..the model do have a little retouching on them as well but the saturation has not been touched....i've found i need to move it into negative numbers sometimes if i'm working with a couple of my lens's. anything i do in the studio i try to work with the brightest colors available to me cause i love bright color if it has to be in color and not b&w i really try to put in as little work into anything in post that i can cause i'm not a fan of altering images heavily..typicaql is to adjust exposure, contrast, white balance...play with the s curve a little bit and save

 

[TB]

WHOA...went in to the office and just noticed 2 thing's 1. my brother swapped monitors with my calibrated monitor for some reason...and 2. he was playing with some graphic stuff and changed some of my default setting's..now i am seeing the huge amount of saturation in these riding pics.fixed back to regular default's and fixed them...changing the first post now to include the same shot's with the non adjusted saturation...it is now set at exactly what came through the lens.

hmmmm... I was just curious. It sounds like you are doing all the normal stuff, not sure why but the riding pics tones just look crazy to me... maybe I need to re-calibrate my monitor lol...

The model pics all look fine but then the landscape shot looks hot as well from the canon, I dunno I am lame picky sometimes lol... they are good shots!

 

[TB]

read my last post chris...it was my monitor

 

[Motorheads5]
