My vacation was amazing!! If you haven't been to Europe yet, these pictures will make you want to go.. well at least I think so.

If you're on dialup, don't even bother!! Comments are appreciated.

Nice pictures, you're a pretty good photographer. How long were you there, how much did it cost you?

Neeper · 06-09-2005, 01:50 PM

18 days. Did the Contiki tour. We paid $2500 person without flights. It was called the European Encounter www.contiki.com, I highly recommend the Contiki tours, it was amazing.

Good shots. What kind of camera were you using?

Cowperson

MrMastodonFarm · 06-09-2005, 01:53 PM

Wow, those are some amazing pictures. Very artsy, and I mean that in the best way possible.

No wonder Ramholt doesn't want to leave Switzerland. :P

Is that the Alpina B7??? *drool* My uncle has a 2001 Alpina B3. Wicked cars.

Nikon D70, and 4 different lenses.

I envy people who can make every picture look like a postcard... some very interesting pictures you have there. Some shots seem like ones only 35mm can do while other panoramic ones look like stitches, did you pack both?

Again, nice job.

Flames Draft Watcher · 06-09-2005, 02:10 PM

Wow.

Awesome pictures.

hah · 06-09-2005, 02:12 PM

Very nice pictures. Great quality.

Did you scan them to the net or have them burned to a cd?

It looks like you had a really nice trip.

Where are the pictures of all the free lovin' Euro babes ?

The D70 is a digital camera, so no need for scanning....

My dad has one of those and they are amazing cameras. But of course in Neepers case, what really makes it stand out is the composition. You can have an amazingly expensive camera, but if you have no eye for photography, forget it. The reverse holds true as well of course, Im guessing Neeper could make great shots with a disposable.

Incinerator · 06-09-2005, 02:27 PM

I like the one you took while riding the bike, that was amazing balance haha...

OK how do you learn the composition thing that you speak of, in 10 minutes or less? [/b][/quote]
well, the most basic of composition principles, the rule of thirds , is very simple, but it tends to get people thinking differently about composition. its easy, and very useful.

or the even easier answer: give the camera to a friend and go get a beer instead.

Haha, thanks, that was hard. I almost bailed on my face trying that. As a matter of fact, I didn't even look through the viewfinder.

Composition is KING. Without composition and balance, photos will look like shinguard.

Fotze, if you are really interested in making your photos look better, you can learn better composition in 10 minutes. It will help with some photos. But you will stilld need the eye and vision to make a photo interesting.

Calgary Flames · 06-09-2005, 02:41 PM

Great photo skills, every one of those are postcard-esque.

I-Hate-Hulse · 06-09-2005, 02:55 PM

Nice shots Neeper - a great demonstration as to composition and the rule of thirds. Are you shooting RAW and doing your own post processing? I don't have the tools at work to look at the EXIF data on your images but what mode were you shooting in and what lenses did you have?

You have some great shots under bad lighting conditions. I'm messing around with RAW on my Rebel XT and find the increased exposure latitude an indispensible asset. Even if it makes for 8MB images.

Great shots, for a Nikon... :P

EDIT: Apparently the hot eurobabes are on the pr0n banners at the top and bottom of the page.... Neeper has to pay for the trip somehow!

I shoot only in RAW. I do post process the good pictures to make them standout.

I have my kit lens 18-70 F3.5, 85mm 1.8, 50mm 1.8, and 70-300mm.

Those banners have nothing to do with me. I just use that opendirviewer because it's easier than clicking each photo. It was Kevan Guy who told me about that site, so maybe it's his banners.

My site is : www.jtimagesonline.com if anyone is interested. I still have a lot of work to do on that site.

My thought's exactly... I would try selling them.

Very nice job.

OK I just relooked at those and they look almost fake, they are so good. You're sure you didn;t just scan some post cards. I showed them to the wife and she was "you can't take that many good photos on a trip, he must have taken 1800 photos".

Either you are a fraud or a hell of a photographer.

I think I'll take that as a compliment. All pictures are mine 100%. I have 49 people (fellow tour people) who can attest to my obsessive habit. I actually took 2400 photos, so your wife is a little off.

Does anyone have any tips on how I can sell my photos? I am quite new to the business. All I know how to do is weddings. I never thought of selling postcard stuff before.
