This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master.

Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

running on water

here is a quick post from yesterday as I watched fellow nuts swing out into the water. This one was rather interesting. Kind of looks like he is sprinting across the water. I had to bump the ISO up to get the shots so it may look a little grainy.

I havnt' looked through all the pics yet. I still may have some other decent ones. Have a great day all!!

he does look like he's running on water

The ISO noise isn't noticeable, and the shot has exceptional shadow detail, but the DOF is a bit shallow.

Next time try shooting around F8, or get closer to the subject and pan on him so the background is motion blurred. I think either would add to the look.

I wanted to get into my kayak to get the shots but I love my D70 too much. The water there can be pretty squirrely. thanks for the suggestions buddy. see you tomorrow!

Chris,
You aren't old enough to see the Red Sea part the first time?

Storm, interesting shot, sure gives the illusion of walking on water
