I eventually got my first D-SLR...

Xterra, 接砖!

#1,#2 -------- iso 100, AE mode, mirror lock,tripod, (1/20s,1/30s) totally landscape or still life shooting method was applied to pet photography. It is hard to get the good pictures. for me #1, #2 are not sharp.;)

#1,#2: fad说得没错, 猫眯确实非常合作, 200mm端(是小小白吧?), 1/30秒能拍清楚, 不易啦!
#5: 时间恰到好处, 光线最好的时候. 我觉得不怕把dock拍上, 至少有个交代, 反正桅杆已经拍不全了! 索性只留全船和云的倒映.
#6: 表情抓的很好, MM很PL. #10 是有点儿太rosy了! 问问她愿不愿蓖馀哪L囟? :D
我觉得你portrait拍得不错, 建议直接上50/1.4或85/1.4. :D
多拍, 多上片! 期待...

It is xxb. I have to agree the cat was quite concerned at the moment. He was just curious what in my hand. ha ha~

Thanks for the praise, I shall try harder to catch up with you guys. now, I only hope I have sufficient time. sigh...

Thanks for your comments!

If my photos (especially #2) are not sharp, then your eyes must be very sharp! ;-) yeah, eyes are always sharper than any lenses. How do I improve the sharpness of my photo in this type of satuation? I know I should have used higher ISO speed. However, as far as I know ISO 100 + tripod + mirror lockup + self timer is the most vibration free setting possible. how'd one increase sharpness in addition to that? I seriously want to know. I am so desperate to get sharp and crisp photos. I just love the way they look.

Please let me know. Thanks very much in advance! BTW, Leica or Zaiss lenses are not option though. I am not that insane yet. :-D
 
This is an old photo I took with my S400 last year. I edit it a bit in PS. It looks more like my original idea. I was not able to do that because I simply did not know how. Today I was inspired by a website. It is a bit of impressionism. not sure if it fits your taste. what the heck. how'd I know if you have not yet seen it.

Look at the eyes of the cat, the highlight is not sharp as it should be.

I found one of my cat picture, which was taken with my 75-300/4.5-5.6 lens (handheld) which is not sharp as 70-200/4 L, but the reflection image in the eyes of the cat looks sharp by my eyes.

For the lens, xxb is sharp lens, but 1/30s @200mm for the "live" cat is too slow, in this case it should be better if using XB IS. :D

Oh, I see your point. It is not my camera, it is the object. a moving object will defeat all the effort I put on the camera. I will not get a clear image if the object is not still. Thanks for the example! I was lack of consideration. :-)

However, I think my photos were not as "sharp", not because either of us moved or vibrated. It was because of the complexity of the indoor lights. Yours has a simplier light source which contributed a lot to the sharpness (a clearer reflection on the cat's eyes), I think. I just reviewed mine, I found I could see even myself from his eyes. although it was not as clear. which I believe was caused by the weak and complex indoor lights. Please don't get me wrong, I am not arguing at all. I was just trying to figure out why my photos are not as "sharp" as yours. I still agree that I should not have used ISO100 and a such slow shutter speed for this type of shot.

well, I guess there is a lots room to improve then, just like swim. :-)

Thanks again!
 
Here is another re-cooked photo.

:-D
I just dug out this one and PSed it. some of you may not like this style. in my opinion, it is more of an art than the original one is.

after...

:eek: PS 高手啊!


Ha ha ha~ (my face is turnning red) Actually, I started using PS last week just before I got my camera. :-D I am still learning. As old saying goes: a great photographer must be a master in dark room. Encouraged by that, I decided not only to learn photography but also to learn dark room technics. Here are a couple of websites I learnt my darkroom technics from:
1> http://luminous-landscape.com/
2> http://www.dpchallenge.com/learn_index.php

especially the second one. real deal. many remarkable photos. check it out, if you have not. you will see what real nice photos are. let's improve together. :-)
 
kit lens is similar with 17-40 without printing 20 inch photo :D

but for telephoto, L lens is necessary

my upgrade sequence is 18-55 >> 70-200/4 >> 24-70/2.8 >> 1.3x body, upgrading once a year :D
 
Congradulation, Leo. So you finally got your 70-200 ?
