Let me take you along this link to the famous tower bridge of London: http://www.fotocommunity.de/pc/pc/cat/582/display/2831179 This man new what he was doing when taking this picture at 02.00 in the night... brilliant! Check out the other pics on the same site, amazing! An image of a place that has been seen thousands of time can suddenly get new dimensions so please try to make your own pic. One more example about a different angle: http://img-b.fotocommunity.com/19/4498619.jpg I think this shot is great... Have a great day and get your cameras out!

If we had more time, got paid for it, had camera equipment worth more than a average family car and took 10 rolls of film on the same subject per day we too could get that quality :-) Martin your point about composition and originality is a very good and important point at GLOBO. I wish more members would take common structures and scenes from unusualy angles or just different scenes entirely. I am tired of the same classic views of the London Bridge, Arc de Triumph, Eiffel Tower etc. etc. :-( RR [ This Message was edited by: rangutan on 2006-01-12 05:13 ] --- Rudolf "Rangutan" Graspointner Reply    Reply with quote    Contact rangutan   ravinderkumarsi Premium account Joined: Aug 04 Points: 14003 Posts: 451 Posted: 2006-01-12 07:41:00    well i can say tht the picture quality has improved a lot,and now with the comment possible on every pic it will further improve it. --- at bangalore /back 2 globo after a long Reply    Reply with quote    Contact ravinderkumarsi   mortimer Premium account Joined: Jun 04 Points: 15075 Posts: 528 Posted: 2006-01-13 17:02:00    Hey there I just found another great shot about new york http://www.fotocommunity.de/pc/pc/channel/2/extra/new/display/4732704 The photographer claims to have shot this with the general automatic function! So we don't have to be that professional! In the end it's also a matter of being in the right place at the right time and have your camera ready and give the composition a bit of a thinking... Today with digital cameras it's easy to get better pictures! Because you can take as much as you want, look at them immediately and try to get it better, if you are not completely satisfied. Most of the times I find it worthwile to check your pics directly and get another go. We, as travel photographers, are most likely only one time in a certain place! So if you want to capture this unique place, why only point and shoot and be disappointed at home when looking at it, do it better check your result and try once more! These points apply especially for static objects. With moving objects, just shoot some pics and keep the best! Have a great day Martin [ This Message was edited by: mortimer on 2006-01-13 17:05 ] --- Today is the first day of the rest of your life, enjoy it!

But I am still not able to take pictures of moving objects ,many times I tried but the object looks blurr and hazy in it. I am using P93 camera and I hope soon I will buy a Canon or Pentex which are now far better in still photography. --- at bangalore /back 2 globo after a long Reply    Reply with quote    Contact ravinderkumarsi   ravinderkumarsi Premium account Joined: Aug 04 Points: 14003 Posts: 451 Posted: 2006-05-23 05:46:00    I am facing problem when I want to take pictures of some thing in shade and the background is bright,i tried but it is comming dark.how can i improve it ,i tried to alter the picture with photo editor but not satisfied with it. any idea ?? --- at bangalore /back 2 globo after a long Reply    Reply with quote    Contact ravinderkumarsi   mortimer Premium account Joined: Jun 04 Points: 15075 Posts: 528 Posted: 2006-06-14 09:22:00    Sorry Ravi I haven't seen your question before... Taking pictures of scenes with big lighting differences is very hard. A later adjusting on the PC is not often successful. The easiest thing to do is avoiding those situation. Compose your picture differently, move around to find a better angle, zoom in on a detail and try to avoid the big contrasts. If you can't get a better composition without a over/underexposed Background just take a few shots with different settings. In my experience it's easier to lighten up a dark picture than to darken an overexposed one. Some cameras have exposure series programmes. They will help you get the best possible picture. If you have this function on it will normally take three shots in a row. One with the exposure as metered one with a lesser and one with a higher exposure on some models you can even say how much correction should be used. At home on the screen you can then evaluate the different shots make printouts and keep the desired ones. Hope it helps Martin --- Today is the first day of the rest of your life, enjoy it!
