I love photography: i love shooting and editing photos and i love watching others' photographs. I Wish i could dedicate myself to photography but i'm only an amateur.

Nowadays i'm using a cannon powershot SD 1000 that's always on my bag and a Nikon D70 mostly with a 50mm 1:1.4 or with a 75-300mm 1:4.5-5.6, when i decide to go shooting somewhere or around my house.

I'm trying to make a daily post but it's becoming harder: i'm becoming more demanding about my shots and take more time to work on them; many times i look at my "collection" of photos and think there's nothing worthy...

I love to read all your comments but i'm trully looking forward some criticism: telling me what's not right and what i could do to improve it...

eljapa Hi I was reading your profile and saw you have a 50mm 1.4 lens. I really interested to buy that lens, is it worth the money?? or will the 1.8 do the job aswell...

Superb photo!
Would you explain me how you did it?
I'm taking it to my fav...
Sure, normally a Hdr is made with 3 different exposured pics (-2, 0, +2 stops) and then merge them together with a special program like Photomatix or Photoshop but you can make a fake or pseudo HDR with one raw or jpg file. This time i used a program called Dynamic-Photo HDR , more info on http://www.mediachance.com/hdri/index.html.
After creating the HDR you have to do some Tonemapping to adjust the image to your taste. Sounds a bit difficult but just google a bit on HDR and the options. This picture took about 4 minutes to create. As said before it will look better when using 3 seperate raw files but this is fun to start with...

If you have more questions just ask,

Thanks, this is an oak tree which I have been photographing each week to see how it changes through the year.

phenix no, your shots are perfect.. i think.
especially children.
they are exalted and bouncing.
maybe i didn't finish special school .. i'm only a man, but i got feelings and that is important.
your shots give me a hope and a joy.
thank you for that ;)
