Are those your dogs? How cute!
The white balance of the first photo is a bit uncomfortable. A snowy and wintry scene is usually portrayed much colder in colour temperature. If the warm colours were intentional, IMO it makes the photo look like it's taken with a point-and-shoot =/
I like the third and last photos! |

Thanks, guys! The dogs aren't mine, they're of a friend of my brothers'.
I didn't know much about white balance when I took the first pic, but I think it's close to what I could see with the naked eye; nightlights around here really are that yellow as far as I can tell. I tried to tweak the colors like you suggest, but I didn't like the result. Please feel free to change it if you think it would look better otherwise and post the result, I'd appreciate the effort. |

Those are the cars' headlights as they appear after a 30 second exposure. Wikipedia has a good short article on the technique: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-exposure_photography
The fist pic is taken in Timisoara; I live in Bucharest and that is where the others were taken. The last picture is in a mental hospital in Bucharest.Last edit: 2011-08-06 22:57:25 |

Love the first picture, it's absolutely gorgeous and nice!
What's the aperture for that? (I forget my terminology, so I guess I meant, what speed is the first picture and over what period of time?) |

| Nice jobs on the photos, looks gorgeous in Romania! Really like that large clock in that garden looking shot, pretty flowers in that one as well. Well done. |

I'm really liking the second one; that one has potential to be classic; it is a pity that the dog is cut off slightly on the right.
In general, these are fine solid photos. I would certainly considering some PP work to make the colors/tonality stand out a little more though. I also feel that you can slightly more aggressive with sharpening. (Sharpening for web viewing that is) |

I used a small aperture of f/22 to have depth of field and to allow a long exposure of 30 seconds. The iso is the lowest for the camera, 200. All the details are included in the spoiler beneath the picture.

It's just a depressing wall. I think the dog is a Siberian husky but I'm not an expert.

For the second picture, try going to the "full image" link in the spoiler. The thumbnail seems a bit cropped, sorry I didn't notice the image host does that.
I'm a beginner with post-processing and felt PP was a bit too much for me, so I only used Picasa, but I'm afraid of going overboad since I don't know what I'm doing. :-) I'll get to learning some PP down the road, but for now the pleasure of doing all I can do with the camera is enough for me.
Thank you for all the positive comments! |

| Considering these have minimal PP (if any), then you have A LOT of potential. I agree. It is more important to try to get it right on the camera. |

| I like them. The one with the two dogs needs to be exposed a little higher I think- you're supposed to overexpose snow until its bright white- maybe its my monitor though. I still like it though. |

| i think the first one couldve been way better if you had played with the iso a little more. really nice dog picture though :D |
