Took my wife out for her 35th bday on a little bike ride and we ended up in downtown Fort Worth, so natually.. i wanted to walk around for a few pics. These are SOOC with no post (yet).

Many thanks Craig n Jack, I really like that 50 prime for low light shooting. I do need to invest in a smaller tripod for carrying on the bike. I'll relay the bday wishes as well

Any thoughts on where to start with some post.. i'm struggling a bit as I don't see much difference in my "normal" processing that i do.

thanks again guys.. have a great weekend and happy shooting.

Devin.

Howdy Devin,

Kind of nice to not have to worry that much about post processing, I think all 3 of them are very nicely done as they are, maybe on the last a little more detail of your Wife and bike, and darkening the sky a little to highlight her a little more.

On the tripod subject, you might look into one of the "Gorilla Pods" I have the SLR one and it will support quite a bit of weight, you'll be a little low on perspective but that opens up a lot of neat shots as well. So that combined with a little remote shutter release and you'll be set for many more adventures.

oh, cool.. thanks for the link (added to cart ) I saw one similar at best buy but it didn't look as though it would hold up. This one on the other hand looks like it's quite sturdy. On the pp for the 3rd, i'll have a look at that and see what I can do, thanks for the tips. Here are a few more that turned out OK (not great .. but ok)



I like the perspective on this one


this one.. not framed so well


last one - the happy wife
