Dingo Posted April 9, 2012 Report Share Posted April 9, 2012 So here are some pics from Savannah: Inside the hotel: A view from the hotel: We saw a few little boats: We went on a "ghost tour." I don't buy all that ghost crap, but I love the history. Here is the cemetery we went to. It's allegedly all kinds of haunted. This is the moon that night: This tree is over 300 years old. Hundreds of soldiers were hanged from it: My favorite house in Savannah: And finally, the lighting was funky on the ghost tour night, so here's the Edge: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShopVac Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 (edited) So here are some pics from Savannah: Sounds like you had a great trip...my wife flew down their last year just for the ghost tours. You have some nice pictures there. Night shots are rather difficult to take without a tripod, as the flash won't let much of your subject show and extending your exposure (as you should) will just blur the shot. With what you have in the cemetery, it looks like it just needs a little white balance from the type of lighting. I hope you don't mind, but I just took a few minutes to try and regain some of the color from your photos. (If there's an issue with what I did, I'll take the pictures down) Probably need to tone down the detail and soften up the picture some...but I like the subject matter Needless, did you hit any good restaurants? Paula Deen's was a bit difficult to get into without a reservation... Edited April 10, 2012 by ShopVac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 I have a great response, but I'm on my phone, so be patient and I'll respond either later tonight or tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingo Posted April 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 Okay, yeah, it's hard to get good night shots sometimes. Those were taken handheld. I had an SB-900 on the camera, but I liked how they looked with no flash. In that shot of the tree, the only lighting is from my flash. Not much I could do there. Now that I look, that's the only shot I posted in which I even used a flash. I didn't have a huge desire to go to Paula Deen's. I was more about seafood. Tubby's on River St. was amazing.

mmcclure Posted April 10, 2012 Report Share Posted April 10, 2012 I have enjoyed that Hyatt often for 2 day getaways. The place is 2 hours from me but next time try the Bohemian Hotel next door.. WOW! The photos are great.. Get with me if you would like to add the daytime running lights.. Inside the hotel: A view from the hotel: We saw a few little boats: We went on a "ghost tour."

Daytime running lights? *scratches head* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carbonedge+ Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 We've been there a few times; even have a picture of what looks like the same 'little boat'... I got a nice B&W shot of the fountain at Forsyth Park, but I'm sure most who visit do. My wife used to live on one of the 'islands' as you head toward Tybee; her elementary school in Savannah looks like a small prison now. Pearl's Saltwater Grille is a good place to eat. It's off La Roche Ave; feels like you're in the middle of no where on the marsh. Used to be called Pearl's Elegant Pelican many years ago. It's always fun to visit Savannah. The last time I went was for a conference in that very hotel you stayed in and I was by myself. The Edge got me from the Double Tree parking garage on Bay St to my (then) driveway in Woodstock in 3 hours and 40 minutes; plus I stopped at the BK drive thru in Metter to grab breakfast...

Dingo Posted April 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Oh my God. We stopped at that very BK on the way home. The exit with the seafood place on the pond, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the one...makes you wonder where the 'seafood' came from... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
