Hello everyone, it’s been a while since i’ve posted some new photos up! I’ve been super busy with school ending and such. here’s some i took Saturday, from Snoqualmie falls and Mukilteo beach, along with a couple others i took while in mexico. tell me what you think!  
\*\*  
Mukilteo long exposures at dusk:\*\*

[SIZE=“1”]This one is one of my favorites of the batch. The lights from the city in the distance gave the low clouds a nice red tint. The long exposure brought out the blue in the sky from the already set sun. It was a very peaceful night, the wind made a few ripples on the water that gave it the fogged glass look after a 30 second exposure.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=“1”]I loved how the lights in the ferry looked after a long exposure :)[/SIZE]

**Snoqualmie Falls:**  
 ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/4738/940acbfb28ed150a.jpg)  
[SIZE=“1”]This was one of the only shots i got of the falls, when i got closer the mist covered my lens and made all the pictures look hazy. Luckily it turned out![/SIZE]

[SIZE=“1”]A couple of my friends that came with me to take pictures of the waterfall too[/SIZE]

**Diving in Mexico** :  
 ![](http://forum.kirupa.com/uploads/kirupa/4740/335955555fbdb6f9.jpg)  
[SIZE=“1”]I took this with my mom’s cheepo $100 point and shoot, it was realllly frustrating trying to get the picture i wanted, buuut it turned out okay i think![/SIZE]

I love all of them expect for the ferry one, it seems to be overexposed(its probably the lights) it would have looked really good in hdr(if done correctly).

thanks guys!

@ajcates- i wanted to do a little bit of HDR! but my tripod was being super lame and pretty much wouldnt let me get two shots at the same angle lol. I wanted to get the sky exposed tho so i overexposed it by 1.7 stops if i remember right. thats probably what you’re seeing 🙂

@Krilnon- thanks! it was actually getting pretty dark by the time i took those i think. The main light for the first photo was actually a sodium light to the right of the camera. I set the white balance for fluorescent light to give it the nice red orange tone.

Saw them on Flickr already 😛

Pretty good, the last one of the fish is really cool.

One thing I will say which is more of a rant is that I really HATE HDR. You haven’t used it completely over the top which is good, but 90% of the time people just ruin perfectly good photos with HDR. It just makes photos look so unrealistic which is pretty ironic.

@Butters  
Yea I hate it when people over do there HDR, but the one with the ferry in it could have had the lights turned down just a tad bit, and you can only do that with HDR.
