23 Jun 25 Comment Hi Oleg, thanks for the added details concerning the image and hardware used. Nice touch with the water droplet. Would it be possible to have the whole flower in focus and the background out of focus with the Marumi DHG lens? Jun 16th
23 Jun 25 Comment Hi Jacqueline, welcome to our group! I hope you find the experience to be beneficial and enjoyable. I like you image a lot, to me the boat lettering really makes the image. I think that you could make the colors pop just slightly more (more contrast?) and the brightness reduced. Where was this photo shot? Jun 16th
23 Jun 25 Comment Good shot Santosh, nice highlighting on the kettle. I agree with Jill about cropping the right and you might even crop some from the left side. Jun 16th
23 Jun 25 Comment Nice job matching and blending the texture to the subject. He yawned but it appears to be a roar, good image. Jun 16th
23 Jun 25 Comment Hi Jill, I like the warm colors in the image and the lighting, well done. Also, there is an interesting interaction of the optical properties of the glass and liquid combo with background creating those thick vertical lines. The glass appears to be slightly out of focus (most noticeable at the top of the glass) or was there a little camera motion (0.4 sec)? Overall, good shot. Jun 16th
23 Jun 25 Comment Julia, I can only imagine the number of attempts you made to get this image. I assume you used H2O and not liquor! So a few years ago I tried a similar project but I used a microprocessor (an Arduino) and various electronic components to activated the shutter and used high powered overdriven LED chips for the light source instead of a strobe. I spent a lot of time and learned a lot but finally gave up, came close to working.

Your shot is excellent, everything works well together. Did you consider a thin gray stroke?

85 Jun 25 Comment I believe this is what Pete had in mind. Jun 16th
85 Jun 25 Comment Hi Mike, nice idea for a sky replacement with the Milky Way. The image has a lot of space with little detail above the brightly lit foreground, I like Drema's idea of shooting with more light to bring in those details. Also, I wonder if there is anyway of preserving the mountains? Jun 16th
85 Jun 25 Reply 'Hi Pete' that's a compliment! Jun 16th
85 Jun 25 Comment Very nice image, beautiful. Perhaps strengthening the shadows on the base of the mountain might be an improvement. The snow looks slightly overexposed. This scene looks familiar, did you submit another one image of this landscape at a diff time of year? Jun 16th
85 Jun 25 Comment Hi Alex, looks like a wonderful place to shoot. I think waterfalls can be great subjects to photograph because there is so much you can do - especially with long exposures (something I have not tried with with a drone- can it maintain a perfectly still camera position for seconds?). On your shot, the white water is overexposed which is common problem with waterfalls on bright days; perhaps return on an overcast day or towards sunset. Jun 16th
85 Jun 25 Comment Interesting structures and history, I hope they follow through with the repair/renovations- thanks for the background info. I think if you're going to make the image about the flag then maybe change to portrait format and eliminate most of what is to the left. Otherwise, position the drone to capture all three structures and make the shot about the domes. I looked at your 12-22 image, this does show all three nicely. Jun 16th
85 Jun 25 Comment That's annoying, so far I have not had any one complain about flying the drone. This is a good image and peaceful sky, not much noise for an ISO of 3200. And I agree with the others about cloning out the foreground building. Does your company use drones for golf coverage or just the Goodyear blimp? (PS I do remember Drema's shot of this church) Jun 16th
85 Jun 25 Comment Lou, this is an excellent image. You did a great job in post although there are a couple of blown out areas in the sky. I particularly like the composition with light streaks in the sky pointing toward the mountain. Jun 16th
