Some Shots Around Campus
I don't think this shot was worth lying on the ground for:
![]() The overrated and typical flower shot: ![]() Eric, a very, very, very good pianist with Zack on the cello: ![]() A 20 second exposure at night. Again, very overrated and stereotypical, but so cool!: ![]() Danielle, a ballet dancer, on the piano: ![]() This is actually a 13 second exposure of the piano: ![]() I really do wish I had a better lens because I've noticed that low light shots are really blurry with the 18-55mm. On the bright side, I've already been hired by the school newspaper to take shots, so hopefully after the first paycheck I can get a 50mm f1/8 lens.

Re: Some Shots Around Campus
The OU clock tower. Did some crappy 'Shopping to get it to look like this. The original image was very flat:
![]() Liz's eye. She's going to do some nude modeling for me over the weekend :![]() A random girl on a swing. She was really cooperative and friendly: ![]() I thought this looked kinda cool: ![]() Wish I knew how to get this effect without Photoshop: ![]() 'Nother flower: ![]() My friend Anthony doing some long exposures with me: ![]() And again: ![]() I'd love words of wisdom and tips from more seasoned photographers. I know I'm very rusty right now, and I'd like to know what I should do to get better shots

Re: Some Shots Around Campus
No words of wisdom here, but I love the one with the ghost of the eternal student, it reminded me of my faculty!
You seem to notice very different things that could be interesting. Also, you caught a very good moment with the girl on the swing. Where I think you might improve is composition (I said I wouldn't, but it looks like I am going to pretend to be smart), I feel that some shots might benefit from moving the main subject away from the dead center (the eye, the swinging girl, the emergency phone). The very basic way to achieve good results is to imagine the screen of the camera to be divided into thirds, both horizontally and vertically (some cams have the option to show such grid while shooting) and to place the main objects along those lines. Also, it's good watch the "weight" distribution, place "heavier" objects closer to the middle (but not dead center) and "lighter" ones further to the sides like you would if you tried to get objects of different weight balanced on a seesaw. Sorry if I'm telling you stuff you already know. The last two photos are much better in these two respects than most of the others. EDIT: I just did a quick crop of the photo with the swinging girl to show you what I mean. I don't consider myself someone who knows too much about photography, but I kind of like it better this way.

Re: Some Shots Around Campus
University of Oklahoma. I will say that I glorified it a little bit. All the buildings have pretty much the same architectural style.

Re: Some Shots Around Campus
I like what you've got so far mate, If they haven't been shopped already you've got some great contrast going on there. Maybe you could try getting a shot of the "business end" of an instrument, IE. A Macro of the cello player doing his thing (low angles looking up the strings work well). I've experimented a little bit with guitar photography, If you can get the guitarist to hold the pick just the right way you've got a slick shot
![]() You're doing great so far, Try taking a few shots just as the sun's beginning to set. Get the shadows just right you'll blow people away

Re: Some Shots Around Campus
I wish there were fewer buildings here, because it's really hard to get the right shadows at sunset. That one was taken when I was rushing back to the dorms, so I didn't do any scouting before snapping away.

also the 450D has a couple of custom function options that might interest you - "long exposure noise reduction" and "high ISO noise reduction" - the pretty much do what their name suggests, but will "soften" the image, so maybe take a few shots with each CF on/off and compare later, see if the trade-off is worth it

I read about those features by the way, but I never looked into the camera enough to see how to turn them on. I'll look for them the next time I do some high ISO shots.

Re: Some Shots Around Campus
Two more on campus. It was cold as crap so I couldn't go to more locations, but they came out pretty good. I'll try taking more tomorrow if it isn't as cold.

Re: Some Shots Around Campus
Well, if you can, you should come visit me some time! I love to physically meet people I've only met online (Granted they're not murderers or rapists). And Lawton is about an hour away from Norman, so it isn't that far.

Re: Some Shots Around Campus
The only reason I don't take 100 shots at a time is because I'm impatient. If my shot isn't that good, I just say, "Screw it, Photoshop was invented for a reason." I haven't been heavily shopping any of my pictures simply because I don't see a need for it. This camera is exponentially better than my point and shoot, so my standards for a good shot are kind of low.

Re: Some Shots Around Campus
By the way, if anyone wants the full resolution versions of any of my shots, let me know and I'll upload them. I didn't put them here because loading more than 10 12MP images is really annoying, even for people with broadband connections.
