I got a new camera and Photoshop Elements. I am still learning to use them. I never had a camera with manual settings before. But it is fun. :thumbsup:
These are some of my first photos:

Very nice pics :thumbsup: I wish I had a camera with manual settings, too ;D
A small tip for the landscape pictures - don't place the horizon in the middle of the frame. Try to place it according to the rule of thirds (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_thirds) depending on what you want to emphasize on - the sky or the land. Also, having something in the foreground (a fence for example) would make them even better :thumbsup:
Can't wait to see what else you've in store for us ;)
oh, some nice motives in there, especially the second :D
Very nice pics. I really like the second pic too!

Cool stuff, Raphael! :thumbsup:

Thanks for comments and advice. :)
A steam train was passing by my balcony. Please excuse the quality. There was backlight and I had to react fast.

Oh the German all time winner socks-in-sandals couple! ;D (I grew up in Southern France; whenever you'd see a person wearing those during summer, it was a guaranteed German speaking one when getting closer -throw a few Dutch in there as well).
Some of your pictures are beautiful. Most, if not all, of them actually. Also, I wouldn't be ashamed of that first picture. Considering you probably had very little warning of the train coming, you managed to take quite a decent shot.
PS: I apologize if I offended anyone, I just cracked myself up laughing when reaching that last picture. Memories...

My favourite picture is the one with the windmill, it looks like it grows from the trees. A symbol of how nature and technology can co-exist... or maybe not. Keep it up :)

In the foreground you can see the West Harbor Quarter in Frankfurt. It was once the winter harbor where the ships were protected from ice in the winter. It has been redeveloped to an upper class residential and commercial quarter in the last 20 years.

My camera, too. But RawTherapee and Adobe Photoshop are like magic. ;) You could google "digital gradual ND Filter" for more information. And a general rule is that underexposed pictures can be more easily restored than overexposed ones.
I have a Panasonic Lumix G2, by the way. Far from "high-end", I guess.
I just love the second shot, well done &apls

hi Raphael.
Beautiful pictures. I enjoyed looking at them.

Nice ones. :)
A hint for next year: Try to catch autumn leaves in backlight - then they will start to burn and glow! ;)
I got myself an early christmas present. ()stsfd() A nice new lens for my camera. It's f1.7 aperture enables me to shoot night scenes without a tripod. However, I find the extremely small depth of field very challenging. Of course it is always better to use a tripod but in some situations it is just not possible. Like on a crowded Christmas Market:

Happy Holidays, everyone! :)
This winter sucks. It is way too warm and rainy and the dull colors paint depressing landscapes.

There are more than a dozen windmills on this hill and more are under construction. I guess this is the price we have to pay for shutting down our nuclear power plants.
Fantastic set of pics - especially the first one &apls
Very nice pics. I really like the CHristamas ones....all full of so many colors.
Robin &apls
The power line one is my favorite of the last set, I really enjoyed its composition - with the endless landscape.
I recently started playing around with the Google Nik tools for Photoshop. For learning purposes I started with my old 2007 NYC pictures. I shot those with my old, crappy compact camera (Casio Exilim EX-S500). It is amazing what the denoise and sharpening tools can do to those pictures. The effect filters are really fun to use, too. However, on second glance, I think I might have gone overboard a little. ;) I am still overwhelmed by the new functions and trying to get a better feel for what they do
For comparison I have also posted the link to the original, unedited pictures. Let me know what you think: Did the post-processing save the pictures or is it too extreme?

The focus is wrong. It should be on the bird but it is on the second pole instead. It is not possible to correct this in software. I like it anyway.

I would really appreciate constructive criticism before I continue to edit more pictures.
Wow! That first picture looks like it was taken in the 60s or something. Very good!
Like you said 11.4 is amazing, and 11.9 is also quite the difference. I only think 11.6 is a bit overdone, and 11.10 could be better if done more like the first two.
Cheers
