Puerto Rico Trip!

in Pedro's photos, how is that done? The water splashing areas in the first pic where the waterfall hits the bottom? How it looks almost ghostly. Excuse my poor description, but I am pretty new to photography.

the place looks awesome! Thinkin bout taking my honeymoon there.
Great pictures too!

usfpaul82 - that effect is the result of a time exposure. Several seconds of the lens open gives you that effect. If you check his site you will see he uses time exposures a lot.

My ex girlfriend always tried talking me into going to PR but I never made it. After seeing the pics I wish I did make it
I REALLY like the water fall pics!!!!!
Were you close to San Juan?

Isn't digital great?!

truthdesigns, are you working on a calibrated monitor? This is way over saturated and blown out on the greens, at least on my monitor:

Some of the compositions look cool but the processing kills it for me. The shots from luisgo look great.

 

[truthdesigns]

I agree The rainstorm pic is over saturated but Everyone has there own style Blazer.

 

[Blazer88]

No worries, I didn't mean to come off as too critical. I was just checking that we were seeing the same thing.

 

[truthdesigns]

If you weren't super critical i wouldn't learn anything:0)

Justin, these pics are amazing. Are all of your HDR shots 3-exposure and are you using -2/0/+2 on all of them or are you using other exposure brackets?

Im slowly learning HDR and agree w/ your post in the thread I started; HDR inspires me to go pick my camera up and get to shootin'!

 

[truthdesigns]

MeuserReef I use 3 shots -2, 0, +2 Thanks for the good words!
I have found out that tonemapping is the heart of the image
and also learned that over cast day or dusk and dawn are the best time to shot HDR. Learning new stuff everyday. Flickr has some really good info!

i really would like to go there someday
