Some pics from last night
And no firework pics! We didn't light off fireworks until after 11pm because of the rain, plus they were lame because I live in Utah. I did get some pics of the storm though!
A hawk we found off the side of the road
The lavender fields by my parents house
Here comes the storm!
About 5 minutes after I took these pics it turned pitch black and rained like hell for a solid hour. It was pretty cool!!

The last two are totally raw with no post processing. I really need to get an external flash, I think I'm ready to take on that challenge. I think it would really help with pics like this. It was a pretty cool storm, I had to get some pics!

that's what it's all about! Understand how the pics were taken, what you can do better next time. Why you would want to do something this way or that way... I also disagree that they're "that much better". You're practising and getting better all the time, much as I am. The tricks and limitations are the most difficult bit to understand, but without testing you won't get anywhere. Inspiration and competition is also good.
And I got to freeze my ass off...
BTW: that bottom one has a flash doing the fill, midway between the tripod and the tree, around a yard to the left, set at 1/32. Top and bottom are also reasons why you want an 85/f2!
Can you post the RAW of the bottom pic, or did you take JPG? I'd quite like to do some curve testing, I think you might be able to really pull the rainbow out....

I'll try and post the RAW pic here, but it might be too big. I might have to try and e-mail it too you.bretti_kivi wrote:that's what it's all about!

BTW, I just got back from a two day camping trip on the lake. I didn't go hog ass wild with the pics, but I think I got some good ones! I'll start a new thread for that.
