<title>My First Showing</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20762861</link>
<description><![CDATA[Got the email last night that two of the three entries I submitted for the annual juried photo exhibit at the  Smithfield Mansion Annex were accepted.  I've never shown any of my pictures yet, and just started setting up a website for them, so I feel pretty lucky.

<title>Getty Images partners with Flickr</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20761746</link>
<description><![CDATA[I was sent this interesting bit of news from a friend...

http://bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2008/07/08/great-photo-on-flickr-getty-images-might-pay-you-for-it/?ref=technology

  said by nytimes article :Yahoo and Getty Images said Tuesday that they have entered into a partnership under which Getty editors will comb Flickr in search of interesting images. They will then invite photographers to participate in the program and ensure that their images have the proper releases to be licensed legally. Those who are included in the program will get paid at the same rates that Getty pays photographers who are under contract with the company.

<title>[Help] Star trails</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20744460</link>
<description><![CDATA[I was wondering how long would be the required exposure to capture that magical moment.

Is there a particular season suitable for this type of photography?

Thanks in advance.]]></description>

<title>[Help] Selective Exposure?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20744763</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hope it's ok to ask for help with a so-so photo; it's the process I'm trying to learn. This is a photo I kinda liked as is, but the butterfly was somewhat dark. Played around with ways to lighten it up a bit. Ended up with this:
1. duplicate layer.
2. set that duplicate layer to screen, lightening the whole image.
3. do a layer mask on that layer, hide all, blocking out the whole (lighter) layer.
4. paint just the butterfly with white, which allows the lighter butterfly through.
5. the butterfly then looked too blah, so i upped the saturation on that layer and because of the mask, only the butterfly was affected.

Does that make sense? Here's the original and the 'tweaked' one. Did it at all improve the shot? Is there a better way to do it? I'm using Paint Shop Pro X, which allows most of the manipulations of PS but with slightly different techniques.

[att=1] [att=2]

Also, looking at it posted here, I think the butterfly is TOO light now, making it blend with the flower, but it will be easy for me to lower the opacity on the unmasking, so I'm mostly interested in knowing if the whole idea makes any sense and improvement.

<title>Verrazano-Narrows Bridge 10 shot pano</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20746626</link>
<description><![CDATA[the most spectacular bridge in all of NYC

from wiki

"The Verrazano-Narrows Bridge is a double-decked suspension bridge that connects the boroughs of Staten Island and Brooklyn in New York City at the Narrows, the reach connecting the relatively protected upper bay with the larger lower bay.

The bridge is named for Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano, the first known European navigator to enter New York Harbor and the Hudson River, while crossing The Narrows. It has a center span of 4,260 feet (1,298 m) and was the largest suspension bridge in the world from the time of its completion in 1964 until 1981. It now has the eighth longest center span in the world, and is the largest suspension bridge in the United States. Its massive towers can be seen throughout a good part of the New York metropolitan area, including from spots in all five boroughs of New York City.

The bridge furnishes a critical link in the local and regional highway system. It is the starting point of the New York City Marathon. The bridge marks the gateway to New York Harbor. all cruise ships and most container ships arriving at the Port of New York and New Jersey must pass underneath the bridge. Most ships must be built to accommodate the clearance under the bridge."

<description><![CDATA[took the d300 out to stretch its higher iso legs to see how she does. im pretty impressed with its performance so far, as long as you nail the exposure. its cool not needing a tripod in low light conditions like this.

no NR done in PP, only in cam NR set to low. most shot wide open at 2.8

17-55 f/2.8
