Did you fly in to the location of that 2nd pic? I noticed the airplane in the foreground

HDR with 5 exposures?

You may not need more than 3. I'd change the EV. What are you currently using? (Camera & EV)? Mine will go 3, 5, 7, & 9 with 1/3, 1/2, & 1 stops EV. For HDR, it seems to me that 1/3 is just not enough.

Beautiful. I want to go there so much. Did you take any on the water?

I would use it, not for the water but to keep any rocks or other stationary objects sharp.......

St. Louis Fun

I'm a big fan as well. Been following the Birds since 1964. 2011 was the most excitement I've had-- especially game 6. I upped my blood pressure medication for the wild ride.

My Ultimate Camera and Lens Decision

Consumer Reports.

Well, I'm a loyal subscriber to Consumer Reports, but I wouldn't use them to judge something as technical as a digital camera. I'd go to dpreview.com for cameras and slrgear.com for lens reviews. slrgear.com primarily focuses (pun intended) on lens' specification & testing

Is the Sony A series as good as they sound?

I'm looking to upgrade from a Canon T1i set up and wonder if all the hype on the Sony A33-55's are founded. I've read the reviews and they seem impressive. Anyone have first-hand experience with either model?
By the way, just joined and look forward to conversing with other photography fanatics.

IMO, availability of lenses should be a big part of your decision. I'm a Nikon user, and I've been wishing (lately) that I'd gone with Canon because of more choices in the lenses I'm interested in. The 300 2.8 would be the deal-breaker for me. GL

cropped a tad too tight vertically for me. i would have liked to see the entire umbrella. nice pic tho.

Me too. One other compositional point: Generally, composition is stronger when subject is walking into the frame--not out of the frame. I understand the inclusion of the fence on the left (behind the woman).... Did you crop?

Extreme Closeup

Cute! I would like to see (all of) both eyes... but perhaps that's just me!

Thanks for sharing
