It was very funny to do, I made purple (like the Milka chocolate cow, do you know it? :D ), red, yellow and green cows as well. But I think the blue gives the best result. Yellow, red and green made less contrast with the grass.Quote:

If anyone has comments, critics, etc. do not hesitate! What is interesting is to learn new tips and to improve!
I love the cow, lol.
Kirsten thanks for the moon tips, i am about to go out and try it (It is currently 3.30am and 1C hehe), i will let you know if it works :D.
Woo Hoo!! :D Some of you know that I entered some pictures into a contest thing this week. I ended up entering 7 pictures, and came out with a Grand Champion, 6 blues, and a red. :D I don't remeber what pictures got what, and I dont get my photos back until Sunday, I'll update again then, just wanted to let everyone know! :D
congratulations! :DQuote:

@Toby's my baby: Wow, that's awesome news, congrats!! You must be so proud! :)
@cloverfdx: you're welcome! :) How did the moon pics turn out?
I also took some new photos yesterday, some rural landscape shots:

I love everyone's photos.
Kirsten, your landscape photos are awesome. Such beautiful country scenery.
Beth, great big congrats to you! That is so cool.
I haven't been doing much picture taking lately but I did get a shot of the moon. I know it's not great but I thought it did turn out pretty decent considering I was standing in the middle of the street standing on my tip toes with my arms stretched above me as far as they could and trying my hardest to hold the camera as still as possible because I was using all 48x zoom.

It looks really good :D.
I still havenot taken much time to play with my camera, but I am attaching a few macro shots I took last weekend
A few more
great pics Amy :)
Wow, everyone's pictures are so nice! I've been shooting alot of the flowers around here, but don't have them uploaded. Maybe I'll post a few. I have a cannon SL1.
I took a few more super macro shots today of my neighbor's flowers.
If anyone knows what kind of lillies the ones with spots are I'd love to know - the little black bug like things on them are seeds and she gave some to me so I planted them. She gets all kinds of plants etc and plants them but doesn't have a clue what most of them are! :D

They look like some sort of Lilies to me?
yea I know that but I was looking for something a bit more specific from some of the flower experts here on PT.Quote:

Ohh, sorry. Just trying to help :).
Maybe they're Tigerlilies..

That's what they look like to me.. That's still probably not specific enough, but I tried :p.
Wow, great photo's everyone!! They are all great!

Keep those great pics coming!
What setting is everyone using for taking pictures of their pets? I've noticed that Kay's photos of Ki, Nala, and Simba are so clear, my photo's of the girls don't turn out good at all....
I found this phot on google, I was just curious about how they did this
How did they make this photo look so soft??
http://www.saugus.net/Photos/images/...sset_river.jpg
computer editing??
That link to saugus.net doesn't work for me, I'm getting an "access denied"-message.
Regarding pet photography: I would also like to know, as I'm still not very happy with mine...
Love the sunset picture by Kay, btw! :)
Kirsten
Can I post some of my pictures here, even though I don't use an S2? (I use a Rebel)
On my Rebel, there's a Portrait setting that I use, but I'm not sure about on other cameras...Quote:

And a night shot of one of our bridges here, in two different versions:

Unfortunately, I forgot which settings I used. I think for the bridge shot, I used the tv mode...
Kirsten
The S2 has such a setting, too, but I never tried it so far...Quote:

I agree. The ones of Luna and Lily taken without flash are so much better and more natural. Unfortunately, you usually don't have enough light indoors for working without the flash, or - if the sun shines into the room - there's too much contrast due to shadow and light. For this, it's so much easier doing the portrait shots outdoors, but my girls are indoor cats!Quote:

I don't know if Canon cameras have this setting, but my Olympus camera has a setting called "available light". It's purrfect for taking indoor portraits of the cats without the flash. Next to the action setting it's the pre-set mode I use most often.Quote:

One of my favorite Kasha pictures taken on that setting.
I love that photo of Kasha! I'm pretty sure the S2 doesnt have an available light setting.
I took some photo's of some flowers today, but I'm not very happy with most of them. They seem so much nicer when you look at them on the camera :p

Still dying to get my S2, lol. I should have it next month though and it's finally down to $349.99 :D. Although I might end up with the S3 instead.. :/
That photo of Kasha turned out great!!! Unfortunetaly, the S2 doesn't have such an available light setting. I don't know if the the S3 has...
That's true, same here! I often think that a picture's looking good on the display, but once it's uploaded to the computer, it turns out to be poor. And sometimes it's just the other way around! LOLQuote:

I love the one with the flower up against the lense! :)

Wow! Look at all the beautiful pictures! I am getting the S2 or S3 sometime this year. My hubby is buying it for me, so I can choose either model. We can save $100.00 if we go for the S2, but he already promised me the S3 (maybe that's because they didn't have the S2 in any store we went to).
His only rule...
"I won't buy it unless you show me how to use it!" LOL! He can use the camera I have now, but when he saw how many buttons were on the S3 his jaw dropped. He likes to take pictures of Bailey eating/acting goofy, and with the S2/S3 - he can take great videos too.
I can't wait! I want it right now but we have to make sure we can "afford" it on one paycheck (he's horrible at saving money).
:D
I can't wait to see pictures with your new camera Tasha, I hope you get it soon!! :D
I took some more pictures yesterday. :o It seems like I'll start taking pictures, and then go on for days, and then stop, and not take any for like a week and a half, and then go crazy again. :o lol, at least I have a thread to share them on!
