Ahhh... stupid question but what are those animals?

[MaximeT]

Black Bears (not stupid at all).
Was shot at Great Smocky Mountains NP.

The waterfall is a panorama of 4 shots.

If the horizon on that first shot was straight, it would've been perfect!

Also, nothing happened in this thread for weeks, then @Pwolf posted. lol

I have that effect sometimes.

Funny enough, I posted cause I was just thinking how dead the thread was, lol.

Horizon was not straight in real life. That's an illusion caused by the shape of the land.
I "straightened" it like that on purpose. o:

Time to post more stuff.

Canon 6D and 35A



Edit: I post with Tapatalk and see my pics twice. Is that the case for you too ?
Edit 2: I find the PB
Edit 3: I don't like the quality from the downscaling app I used on Android

Any camera is good after the 70D or 60D. Full frame is best. 6D is full frame.

Now, the only bottleneck is the lens. Buy $1k+ lenses.

If you can afford it go bawls out for the 5D mark iii

With 5D, sensor and center point AF are not as good as 6D. For anything else 5D is superior.

Always use Canon L or Sigma A lenses.

That's the kind of thing you can do with a 6D :

Looking at the cameraman with obvious hunger and thinking about how he might taste...

@MaximeT - what's that effect called in that photo with the girl with the Carrrera sunglasses?

I dunno the name. I do it with curve setting.
You have to up the first quarter of the curve on the left (dark) side, while kipping the 3/4 on the right side straight.
This way you will have this kind of low and high contrast feeling at the same time.

You will need a slightly large aperture lens to have a nice burn of the backlight. Here it is a 23mm f2 APSC (nothing crazy).

Oh man!!
I am a little in love, or maybe it is lust, with the X100/S/T. No, it is lust. That is, I would never buy one but I am so glad it exists. It has a mechanical cable release!!
