A very fast one, it had the same postprocessing as my windmill photo.

90% of the effect done in Lightroom 2.3
10% in PS CS4 to enhance the effect and get it ready for the web.
I was thinking about cropping so that you end up with a piece of the sky and the monument/art thing but didn't do it in the end, it's harder to do the whole photo then a small piece of the sky.

edit: just see it now how vibrand it is

Thank you Peter & Michal, will leave it as that then

Very nice.
Did you got lucky with the light in the background?
It's preciesly right to create a contrast with the hair so that it doesn't get last in the dark like is happening on the irght side.

Wonderfull photos only your white balance is a bit too far off in your second photo like Michal said.
The first one is the one I'm most found up although I quite like the composition of the last one, maybe cropping off a bit from the top might help with that one.

Are you all speechless by this one?

I was considering cloneing away those long grass but in a way I don't find it quite disturbing, only a bit distracting. Would like to have your toughts about it.

The first two looks a bit overexposed, not really my thing tbh

I would also like to see the crop of the third photo, the rear end of the horse doesn't do a thing for me and it's to blurry to make out anything sensable out of it.

Nice photos too bad of the grey day though, a shiny day with some clouds looks always nice but we can never be that lucky

Might come in handy in crowded places, might scare some people so that you've all the room to shoot

Same as said above, time being the biggested probelm and trying to exucte your idea probable is also hard to do sometimes.

I've an entry for the this weeks weekly but still want to try to get a better one.
For the forthy this wasn't my kind of thing and all the others I had the problem my idea wasn't executed so well

Okay I never knew that, I've tried with the K10D but it does nothing and to behonest I don't know what it should do?
With the K10D I simple get to seee the EV bar and were your exposure is at I don't see how EV compensation comes into play, can you set the zero point to -1 EV or something like that?

Wait till you get one from another brand in your hands
This might be a good book for you, see it as a very extended manual link.

In a way you can use SLR as point and shoot but not the one you've though it's a bit more for advance users the K-M might have suited your better in that need.
The thing with point and shoot is that everything is automated so you've no idea what's going on with SLR features have been kept a bit simpler and so more predictable to understand on how they would behave but you need to know what they do though.

I also don't have the Metz36 but thought it was like his bigger brothers but that isn't the case.
You can't adjust a lot with your camera so everything needs to be done on your flash, there is no way around this.

The Metz support P-TTL and what I see from other sites that's the only mode so simply click it on your camera and that's it.
You can change the kind of flash modes, like trailing curtain and such.
P-TTL thends to underexpose so go into the FN menu on your camera and set the flash EV compensation on +0.7 or +1, you photos will be better exposed.

I hope this answer your question.
Simply set it on your camera and start shooting.

ps. we're talking about the mecablitz 36 AF-4 here and not the mecablitz 36 C-2 :::
