great pics everybody. i tried taking pics of a bird today (inspired by agen's great shots i saw a few days ago) and a lotta sunset/beach shots

my personal favorite from today:

and back home last week:

btw, how do you use that fish eye effect? is it only for a dslr, or can it be done on a point and shoot? is it a function on the camera or do you use a different lens? sorry for the noob questions, i'm just still new to learning all the functions of the digital cameras. i've had a dslr sitting around for a few years, but not know how to use all the functions, same thing with my point and shoot, and i'm starting to learn more these past few months. hope you all like my pics

Thanks for the input. Glad that you guys are liking my pictures

Regarding Fish Eye. I am using a Nikkor fish eye lens. The effect can also be done with Photoshop or other softwares but I tend to get better photos with this lens.

Tough to compete with those great shots CB, but here's a little change of pace for me today. Taken at the Palace of Fine Arts in SF.

Before I go to bed. I found this guy sitting and crying on the stairs on my way up to the train station here in Manila.

Hoping

These are people you see over here, on the streets...I never asked them to pose or act in any way for my photos.

I want to make a joke about the man missing the last episode of May Bukas Pa but this image is just simply too beautiful. Wait, I think I just did?

Was this a RAW file? Try switching it to monochrome. It'll give it more drama and the oomph that it needs.

"so i took a picture of him, and let him cry." did you at least try to cheer him up afterward?

i'm just kidding around, that's a really good shot. it has great emotion in it, very nicely taken. i wish i had talent like that.
