Discussion Forum - Northstar Chevelle Club

The last page of the May newsletter has a bunch of pictures. I don't claim to be a professional photographer, I'm far from it. I barely know what I'm doing and get lucky sometimes. The main point is that if you DO want to take good pictures, it takes more than just a good camera or a good subject. Knowing what to do, how to make it look as good as it does in person, and capturing it best is a real skill that deserves attention. My goal when I'm trying to take more than just a snapshot is to end up with something that instantly brings emotion and/or can just about tell a story on it's own. I want the kind of picture that you can pull out in 10 years and immediately remember the details surrounding it.

The newsletter text asks if you can identify which pictures were taken by my Iphone and which were taken with my big Nikon digital camera. Let's see who can identify them properly. Here's the rules:

• All the pictures were taken by either my Nikon D70 with the stock lens they come with or my Iphone which was enclosed in it's Lifeproof case.
• I used no additional filters, lenses, etc. Just set it, point, and shoot.
• Any editing that was done was performed using Windows Photo Gallery, the same program that comes with your computer. If I do any editing to a picture, I spend less than 1 minute on them. If it needs more than that, it's probably a bad picture anyway and can't be saved. I don't want to waste my time fixing something that should have been done better to begin with.
• I didn't use a tripod for any of them. It's all hand-held.
• This is just for fun, you win nothing but satisfaction.

I'll reveal the answers in about a week. Post here to see which ones you think are which.
