No photshopped stuff worth mentioning, most of my pics are straight out- although I did use some of the brush stroke filters on this pic to enhance the already-present fog . . .
You're right about the non-MINI comment. I was just wondering if you had photoshopped MINI pics.
The one above . . . is it a nightshot? (the MINI that is)
actually it's a combination of 2 shots, the mini was taken under direct sunlight so the sky was basically whited out by the sun and the smoke is a night shot of a smoke bomb set off on some pavement...amazing how quickly day goes to night.
Finally got the Nikon I was salivating over . . .
Shot a few at work to get a feel for the settings.
Here's what I found:
Auto Setting
'A' priority- Sunny/Vivid/Can't remember the rest but I could look it up
Contrast check . . .
Flourescent WB / handheld . . .
No retouch/photoshop other than to resize/rename.
Comments? Helpful hints? Idiosynchrasies?
Still want to get a feel for night time shooting. I'll hopefully get out tomorrow night.
Any ideas on settings for shooting neon? (flourescent or incandescent? i'm thinking the former.)
I checked the shooting data on your pics. Someone got a D70. Enjoy
For nighttime I would shoot RAW and then download a trial copy of Nikon Capture and Photoshop CS. See which one you like best. That way you can have complete control over the white balance and such. At night the auto white balance and even the programed (incandecent) white balance just isn't the same as having the flexibility of RAW. You can also adjust you contrast, sharpness, saturation level, color space, etc. etc. etc.

Is there a big difference between the less-expensive, Photoshop Elements and budget-busting PS/CS?
Should I rob the MINIUSA bank?
As for Nikon Capture, a trial version tucked itself in the box but I haven't bothered with it yet. I suppose it'd be worth looking at eh?
@ Nikon for making us buy RAW editing software when Canon includes it for free!
The $1300 D70 is really more like $1400 with software and not all that far out of 20D territory. [/RANT]
Photoshop CS (the expensive one) does RAW editing. I'm using Nikon Capture ($100) and sticking with photoshop 7. Call it a budget solution, but CS does what I need it to.
