I'm a resident, it's a meager wage till I'm done with my specialisation in 3 years. Otherwise I would have bought the Nikon D300 already.

Well, still get one.

I've been doing some work with nikon and some other camera/software manufactures at shooting seminars. Lighting, portrait, wedding etc using a D3 which I just can't get on with but I must say the IQ is fantastic.

It's because you can't stand far enough from it to get those trees vertical. If you'd point your camera at the horizon you'd miss the top bit of the tower. I personaly would have taken two shots and get them together in photoshop, skewing the top photo as much as necessary. It may not be 100% realistic, but when done alright, I doub't anyone will notice. You may dislike the whole idea of using multiple pictures for one final image ofcourse, that's understandable.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to tell you what to do. As I said earlier, you made some fancy shots and I reckon you're a better photographer than me from what I've seen :]

This is becoming an expensive hobby and it's too much fun.

That's a nice idea, but taking two pictures from my standing point would not create a non-skewed photo. There are perspective-control lenses for wide-angle architecture photography that cost twice as much as my cam.
You can change the perspective easily in CS3, but then you lose the wide-angle FOV.

More Paris photos

View from Montmartre in Paris, bit noisy but you can see the many lights


Inside the Louvre museum


Piano bar in Paris

some of those pics are effin gorgeous

took this piece of flailing wank on me phone

wtf is that?

Another photo I took in the Louvre. It's called: "Winged Victory of Samothrace". It's my favourite sculpture in that museum.

I should get one for my 12-24mm lens for landscape shots, but a 77mm polarizer costs a damn lot that I like to spend on other things

Tbh, I've been happy with my $20 77mm Hoya C/P Green. Not the best one ofcourse for its price, but kinda fun to play arround with.

Great shot that one Sat, desatured colors match great with the sculputure

Obligatary, I have an iPhone pic:

lush colours

One of these days, I'll take some real photographs with a decent camera. Until then you have to deal with this!



I kinda like this pic even if it was all done by the camera.

saturn wrote:That's because of the FOV you get with an ultrawide lens (18 mm equivalent). Obviously I was aiming at the Eiffel, so the perspective with the trees at the border can get skewed if the camera's not level with them.

You could get a Nikon PC lens to fix the perspective, but the crop factor wouldn't let you go as wide. They're kind of a one trick pony, but you'd probably have some fun with one.

Lucky Number Slevin?

I knew you took a picture of the airport the moment I took mine, but I also wondered how the hell you got up there.

Also, I know that's your secret and what makes the difference between you and everyone else on this forum, but do you HDR all your pictures? You have this unique richness, colortone detail in all your pictures, I'm really curious.
