jesus h. christ, what kind of camera did you take those with?
looks like they were photoshopped or something :3

tidyboy21 · 02-16-2008, 02:29 PM

They were taken with a Nikon D200 and Nikon 17-55mm f2.8. Very minor Photoshop work, sharpened a bit and upped the saturation. I did use a Heliopan 105mm Polarizer, and a Lee 81c warm up filter though, just to give the images that extra bit of punch. As it was quite a bright day I also used a 2 stop ND filter to get the flowing water effect.

nicely taken, seems like you know your stuff when it comes to cameras

could i ask your opinion on something??....

do you think SLR-like cameras are worth it?

something like those

Yea sure, I think they are worth it. It really depends on what you want to take pictures of. Some of the SLR-style cameras out there are really good. I have had a few SLR style cameras and they all served their purpose. But if you want solid metal build quality, superior battery life and the advantage of being able to change lenses, then you have to go for an SLR.

Great pics tidyboy21, as a Cornishman myself I know Golitha falls well. Love to be back there but work rules.

This place is just around the corner from me (20 miles away). It is called Bushkill Falls:

Chrislo: I stopped at Bushkill Falls a few years ago on my way to Gettysburg! Very beautiful place!
One of my many Bushkill Falls pics!

My camera's a Kodak EasyShare DX6340. It was originally the family cam until Mom dropped it and it stopped working. For confirmation my dad got it repaired, so now it's mine.

This was shot on a flight out to Las Vegas about 3 days before Christmas in 2006.
