Lesson 1: Photography
After a lot of questions by various members and friends who enjoy my photos, I decided to start a thread with what I basically go for when taking/editing/posting pictures. Vu, feel free to sticky this if you find it appropriate or beneficial to the group, but ultimately, I merely hope to just shed some light as to how to make presentable pictures. If anyone feels what I say is incorrect or would like to add, please do so, as I

Nice work on the writeup.
Post processing is where I need help and CS2 is a pain in the butt for a newcomer to digital post processing. Looking forward to your PP writeup.
Here's a prime example of the ISO being set too high - it was accidentally set at 1600 and I didn't notice until I was done shooting. The photo looks really grainy if you click into the larger photo. Ugh.
Try not to do this! Small Tip: Be sure to double check ALL your camera settings before shooting.

a good rule of thumb after a day/session of shooting is to reset your settings to the 'status quo' so as to be prepared for the next round of shooting.
i set it back to iso200, lowest aperture, no exposure compensation, standard white balance, and aperture priority

Jeff,
Good writeup. DEFINITELY agree on the ricer angles. That trend needs to disappear.
BTW, your z4 and the g35/prelude shots are underexposed. Check the histogram on those 2. On the white s2k with the Enkeis, did you apply a softblur filter on it? The edges look softened.
A note on the rules of 3rds. It's not an absolute that you have to follow. It's just 1 way to make the composition more interesting.
