Hey Love the pictures.
Just a question, in reference to the picture of the orange fungi, how did you edit it, it looks "moody", slightly unreal if you know what I mean. I see a lot of pictures like it, is it just a case of a better camera/lense or do you photoshop it in some way to get that effect?

Really like the early morning shot. Some nice bokeh on the first couple too.

Totally agree, the early morning picture is by far the best there. The fact you can't see the kid ads to the effect.

What cam/lens did you use?

Sunrise is the only thing that doesn't 'do anything' for me. I love Early Morning and one of the first two (can't make up my mind!). The fungi one is a bit odd!!

Ghostly reminds me of a load of portrait shots I did for someone and the battery started dying and gave me some shots like that! Love it anyway.

I used a Canon 30D for all the shots For the Fungi, it's taken with a Tamron 90mm 1:1 Macro lens, the thing is very tiny and 1:1 is the only way to get it that big . The rest I either use the Tamron or the 17-85 IS USM Oh no PS btw.

They're great! Not sure about the last one, think it would be a stunner if it was sharp - I like the lighting. Did you HDR the one with the kid in the morning? The sky is awesome.

One point - DUST BUNNIES! You REALLY need to clean your sensor.

Makes me feel nostalgic of my hometown

The lotus is awesome, something you can only find in asia

No I didnt, I dunno how to HDR pics anyway =)). And there's no dust on the sensor, I cant figure out where they come from but defo not on the sensor =))

Hans .... ah, you did post more pics. Thanks

Lotus .. like the colour & , bokeh, but the flower facing the other way makes it less accessible than it could be.

Fox Tail ... Nothing for me. Seen too many pictures just like it. You should have used your macro to get really really close and have just a couple of the buds (?) in focus and wide open.

Early morning ... obvious what you're going for, and the kid in the shot is perfect, but don't feel that it's right. Perhaps it's just not dark enough...

Sunrise ... like the flower, seen one sunrise, seen 'em all.

Orange Fungi ... Love it, love it, love it. Perfect light, the kind you only get in asia/equator. Beautiful colour, detail, and setting. I could see that on a postcard sooooo easily (if it wasn't fungus).

Ghostly ... not for me.

Cool pics though. Great scope. I find myself pulled more and more into abstracts, but you've got some good range there...

[blknoel]

Obviously I'm from Vietnam, cuz you just spent a visit there right? ^^

I hope you had a good time. The country is pretty lovely if you know where to go see. (i myself adore the food)

Thanks for the link, too. One ended up being my wallpaper if you don't mind
