    Yes but I knew something was off as even in the viewfinder it never looked fully focused.

    Could it be that the lens slightly back or front focuses?

    Great Singapore shot, Marc. I really enjoy nightshots and really like SG so an ideal one for me!

    Love the camel shot too, perfect timing.

    Thanks, Ben. Unfortunately I got the camera set up late that night and missed the blue hour, but I still like the photo. I would have liked the sky a little lighter. If I'm still in Singapore in Sept., I'll try again.

    Construction cranes in Miami? Are they building there again or are those leftover from the condo bust?

    Thanks very much. They were taken with an Olympus PEN EP-2, which is the only camera I own now. All pics were with the 9-18mm mZuiko wide zoom, which is just an absolutely great lens. Taken so many good pics with it and it can practically fit in your pocket! I'm probably about to replace it with the new Oly OM-D, which is also part of the m4/3 system. Great cameras.

    The location is at a resort in Bali called the Ayana. Best resort I've ever stayed at.

    Like the iPhone pic, great sky.
    Love the beach/vacation shots too, great light and great angles on all of them!

    Nice to see American muscle being appreciated in Europe!

    Good lighting and good composition.

    What does "composition" mean?

    ^ It means "composing" the subject(s) in the frame of the camera to create a satisfying image. In any form of art, including drawing, painting, and photography, the proportion of objects in relation to one another is key. In photography this, along with timing and great lighting, are what separate a good image from an average one.

    Thank you for the explanation. :)

    I obviously don't know anything about photography based on my question that you just answered....but I guess I can agree that being in the right place at the right time also helps! :)

    I took 2 or 3 photos with my simple little $300 Canon point-and-shoot last year in the Swiss Alps that, to me, are some of the most exquisite shots I have ever seen.

    I will post them in the morning.

    I never really ventured into these forums down here...lol :p

    Absolutely! That's 90% of it! One of the greatest "street" photographers and probably my favorite photographer of all time, Henri Cartier-Bresson, called this the "decisive moment" where the "eye, the heart, and the mind converge" to produce a great photograph. Very artsy sounding, but very true.


    I've taken some of my best shots with some of my lower tech cameras, including my iPhone. I became a better photographer when I got rid of my DSLR. Not knocking them, they're just not for me. Some of the greatest masters of the 20th century like Cartier-Bresson and Ansel Adams used laughably archaic cameras by today's standards. The best camera is the one you have with you.

    Post 'em up! If you have more photos like this you may have a natural eye.

    This is probably C.-Bresson's greatest photo.
