Default A fun and intersting shot. Oh, sunsets too.

I did this for the "What would you do?" section in games and challenges. I kind of like it. When I got through I had a good laugh. Thanks go to Windrider for hosting it and to naeno for the original image. You can check the thread out here.

I was totally stumped with what to do, my mind was just floating about...
From DPS


I bought my K100D a couple years ago and took some pictures at work the first week I had it. This was before I knew what RAW was or how to manipulate images much. Here are a couple from that day.

This is a cogeneration facility that burns biogas to generate electricity.
From When K100D was new


Sunset that day

The same building at night. Like that moon? It's a little noisy, had the ISO at 1600 to get enough exposure time.

Hope you like them and thanks for looking.

Hi Fred! Very Creative on your 1st one, I do like your sunsets!!
You can see how far you've come from the 2nd one, You night capture was a good one, today I would imagine you'd use a tripod and a longer exposure time instead of Kicking the ISO.
Thanks for Sharing these
Michael.

Thanks Michael, yes... I'd use the tripod and longer exposure. Might even focus it correctly. LOL...

I like what you did with the first one. I played around with it some and actually tried to put the faces of my four dogs in the bubbles but it didn't turn out near as cool as yours! Good work.

What you did with the first one is pretty impressive. I like the sunset one.
