Mont Tremblant

I had a few hours free yesterday and i decided to finish sorting the images i had from last year :)

Unfortunately not enough time to do any post processing so i uploaded everything directly after removing duplicates, blurry and useless images. Most of the deleted images were from fireworks. It seems i need a remote control this summer.

I kept some images to make a few HDRs but … next time :)

Hopefully tomorrow i’ll have time to create a slideshow with best images and update the photo blog but until then, my gallery is here.

This is the first set of pictures taken with my d90 and upload on internet.
All of them are taken last Sunday in Downtown Montreal.
The older ones are not bad either but i didn’t have time to sort them yet. Hopefully until the end of the week i’ll be able to upload some of them.

All of them can be found in my Gallery and a selection on Flickr.
Now i have a hard task: choose the best image and upload it on the Photoblog :)

Impressive camera compared with my old Canon S5 IS.
I’ve read the manual, I’ve read tutorials. I found tools like UFRaw, QTPfsGui, Gimp and i’m learning to use them.

I also learned about Barrel-Pincushion, Perspective Distortion and how to “fix” them with Hugin. Another good tool is: PTLens but unfortunately it doesn’t have a plugin for gimp.

Flickr Nikon D90 group is amazing too!

I didn’t have too much time to take photos and the weather didn’t help either but, today will be a nice day and, more than that, tonight i can shot Fireworks.

Hopefully, in a few days i’ll come here with images taken with D90 :)

My first DSLR so, time to read the manual while the battery is charging.

Have some tips? Drop me a comment!
