DCL Picture of the Day - Part 3

[tigger2002]

Jordak, that photo is AWESOME!! How did you get the colors like that? What were your camera settings? I have a new Cannon DSLR and hoping to learn how to use it before our fall cruise. WOW, Love that photo!

My son and I also use a Canon digital SLR. His Caribbean photos are here

He also shoots in RAW mode and uses Adobe LightRoom for most of his post processing.
The most important thing for any camera is the lens. Actually the skill of the photographer is first but the lens is even more important than the camera, I think.

It must just be me .............. but Castaway Cay just does not look inviting with Brown Water ...................... LOL

which ship was the hidden mickey on and where? Very cool photo.....

no, it is not you....water looks better blue but it IS a nice shot

Am I the only one who feels the semi-professional, uber-shopped photos discourage the average snapshot takers? There seem to be less and less snapshot pics posted lately.

I enjoy seeing photos from normal shmoes (like me) as much, or better, than the postcard quality pics.....

that being said, I envy the skills presented in the more professional shots and, someday, when I grow up, I hope to have a really nice camera and take really cool photos, too.

After my cruise next week, you'll have plenty of "normal schmoe" pictures! I have an inexpensive Fuji digital, but it takes great photos. I've been a professional photographer in my early years, and I love to do some post-processing, but vacation photos are just that--photos so that I can remember what things REALLY look like.

I do love all the fancy post-processing, however, and I've learned a lot about using Photoshop from seeing them. They are beautiful works of art!

Here's a regular Schmoe photo. This was taken of the Wonder on our way back from Paradise Island in Nassau.

wow, didn't mean to cause a debate. lol Believe me we have thousands and not a exaggeration of photos from last trip and most are very tourist looking. Wife has her Canon powershot that she was taking the traditional vacation pictures and i had a DSLR and i am always thinking of the unusual shot or angle. Especially on the the cruise when i was taking pictures my thought was i have seen these done many times on this thread. So I may have to take the same angle shot, but i can still get the look that appeals to me.

And there's absolutely nothing wrong with that! Everyone takes pictures of the same things, naturally. It's good to see someone else's interpretation!

Jordak, awesome photos!
I just love that anyone who wants to share, can and will.
It helps to recall memories or gives you something to look forward to.
Thanks to all past, present and future photographers!

What I love about this thread is you DON'T have to be a professional photographer to submit photos. I am here everyday to be reminded of the fun I had(and have to wait a year and eight months to experience again lol)

 

[tjbaggott]

Here's a random shot I snapped on our way back to the ship. A not too often thought about job on board. Wish I could have gotten these CM's waving at us.

I'll admit that I often feel intimidated by the awesome photos on this thread but I just look at them as a goal. I hope that someday my photos can look that nice! It doesn't stop me from posting my point and shoot unedited photos and I hope it doesn't stop others.
