I don't consider that cheating :p I figured it was either a stitch, or one hell of a crop.
I don't have a circular polariser for my wide angle, so I might look at getting one :) I had one for my old 18-55mm IS, but it was a lens and I got rid of it.
Metering is another thing I don't know a whole lot about. I have the cam set to centre-weighted metering, since I'm normally shooting a specific subject, rather than taking a scenic shot. |
I would myself if that was a crop! lol
You and I are in the same boat for metering... and me being a newb to the Nikon... I am still on the lower end of the learning curve with this camera. I mostly do center weighted as well for light... and the unfortunate thing is that I like to have the horizon run across the center...
But the polarizer is a must (I do believe Canon makes a really really nice L series full or half polarizer) in really bright shots - especially in really high contrast images (blue sky - snow on mountains - dark land, etc) |

Good word from Jdat:

oh yes, SHOOT IN MANUAL MODE. Unless you are in an uncontrollable environment and can't stand for 5 seconds to make your adjustments picture to picture. |
DSLR's are not about quick pictures. I ended up liking about 1/4 of the pictures I took... and there were around 600 shots (friggin 9 gig) in raw - and typically 2-5 shots of the same thing until I got the settings worked out to my liking. I wish I could master a single shot for beauty shots... but I doubt I'll ever get there. |

No snow capped mountains around here, sadly :p My wide angle isn't a Canon lens though, it's a Tamron 17-35mm f/2.8. It's compared rather well to a lot of wide angle L lenses though (and was a -load cheaper), so I would imagine the L polarisers would works just fine with it. I might research that a bit first though :p |

I somehow missed this post.
JDat, mostly I have no time for manual mode. I'm lucky if I have 2 seconds before the little bastard flies away :p Aperture priority FTW.
And Nut, 600 pics? Mate, I take about 6000 in a week when I go away on holidays :p
And I get maybe 50 decent pics :( |

600 pics for only one good day of shooting. Day one (was really at night) - was the drive up - day two was the trip - day three was the drive back on a crappy rainy - foggy day.
The other bad thing...

This is what we were on for 8 hours in the park (no private vehicles are allowed in). There were about 4-5 stops to get out.... so a lot of the pictures were taken on a bus going 30mph down a gravel road! lol
I would have taken many more - but it was a pain in the ass. |
