Didn't he die in a horrible plane accident?

[Fick]

Wooo, my birthday pressie finally arrived!!! :D

Hopefully there'll be some nice weather at weekend so I can go on a bit of a photomission gathering wide angle shots and playing with my filters now I have a proper adapter ring.

My first tentative steps into the world of ir. Pulled a leaf of my plant and popped it on my desk near to a halogen lamp. I'm hoping for lots of sun at weekend!

[cadpig]

It has been on my bin for ages, but somehow seems apt to photograph today :D

This is what happens when you finally try to capture the beautiful reflections in the river at night without a tripod...

[cadpig]

Anybody know what I am doing with this?

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/cadpig_t_evil/pix/blogpix/13-02-2003.jpg

It involves paste and powertools at this point in time, but not at the point of photogtraphy :)

waits for the colonel to say something (probably amusing :D )

[EasyTiger]

I just posted this in pap, but I think it's relevent here as well :)

I made transfers for t-shirts!

yet more playing with water. sorry.
enhanced this a little, but i like it :)

[Fick]

Very nice photos all. A few individual comments:

ET: Boobies!!!11!!oneone!! ;)

Caiman: Dirty Boy!

Colonel: Dirty Boy! (Just generally ;) Nice photo, did that have any filters on?)

Lyra: Lovely pic. ET had better watch her watery back (although that might make her turn into a duck...)

It just depends on how you say it. . . But I AM right, no?

Where did the attatch file button go? Or is there another way to post pics?

Also, I like the shirts, EasyTiger. Was that you in them?:twisted:

i'm still not sure if it counts as candy :/

[EasyTiger]

Nice pic fick :)

Like that one too Lyra ;)

[Fick]

I've now got a variation (desaturated an ickle bit) of one of those photos as my desktop. If anyone asks nicely via pm you can have a hi res copy.

[moog]

snow! its snow! wheeeee!

[Loveli]

When it gets really cold in Minnesota they build ice palaces and have a whole carnival devoted to it. Personally, I think it's crazy but it is pretty cool looking.

[Fick]

Lurvely pictures. But why the "sex" icon colonel? ;)

Er, you can't do this with pics on your hard drive, if you use those tags you have to have thimge hosted on a server somewhere.
For now, I would suggest just attaching mate, ok ;)

Which motorway is that? ;D I saw a very pretty sky on the way over here in the motorway, but obviously couldn't take a picture being the driver an all :/

Hey, cadpig, looks like you're not the only one that does head jobs!

I bent a pushrod racing a Honda ( I won ). Changed out all 16, and the rocker arms, too. Took about 2 hours.

Me went for a walk.

(Damn b3ta taking up my bandwidth)

[Fick]

Broke my bike, so I was walking to work this morning. Was so lovely and sunny, so I was playing with my IR filter on the way. Definately need a tripod to get proper results, but managed to get this just handheld.

(shutter speeds between 2 and 4 seconds, F8.0 (whoops, forgot to turn camera of Aperture priority...) and stucked together using photostitch)

[moog]

i love that pic bethie, very serene. And yours is marvellous fick. hurrah for ir

:D Today was the first properly sunny day for ages. My autofocus seems to not like shooting in IR though, think I'll use manual next time. Anyone got any top IR tips?

[belpernews]

Anyone know why I can't post attachments anymore? :nana:

In the forum rules at the bottom of the page it says I may post new threads, post replies and edit my posts, but I may not post attachments?

I loved your pics, Cherokee_Red - where are they from?

Don't know why, but you aren't the only one. Seems some people just can't, not sure if it's intentional or a bit of a bug somewhere. Any Mods care to clarify?

I've been playing a bit more with a few of the ir pics from today. This one has been colourised a bit.

[EasyTiger]

Lovely first IR pic there fick!
If you're using the R72 filter, then it's totally opaque so autofocus wont work, because it can't see anything ;)

I'm suprised you managed to get that with just a 2-4s shutter speed :shock:
I have to usually use at least a 20" shutter speed :(

When I was at canon hall today I was going to do some IR, but I really couldn't be bothered carrying my hefty tripod around with me ;)

Took this one outside the flat yesterday though :)

Yup, tis R72. When I've dabbled a bit before the shutter speeds have been longer, but today was really sunny. In that panorama the sun is just on the left hand side, quite low in the sky.

The focus thing seems strange though, I hadn't expected to it to work but in some of the shots it was claiming to have succesfully focused.

And I wasn't expecting to be able to see much on the viewfinder, but what I was seeing was not far removed from the end results. Hopefully it will be nice and sunny at weekend so I can play a bit more, rather than just taking a few snaps.

[bethie_nova]

Ice on the Little Devil's Steps, Shenandoah National Park, Blue Ridge Mountians, Virginia. To give you an idea of scope, this formation is about 10-12 feet high.

[Cainam]

Nice pics, bethie_nova. I left Virginia a while ago when I joined the Navy, and you are making me want to go back for a visit!

Beautiful cadpig :) Where did you take that from?

[cadpig]

Thank you :)
That was taken from Aberavon Beach.

[kebab?]

any tips on capturing them light beams (or whatever they're called) in a photo? i've tried using faster film (3200 b/w) and slow film (velvia 50, kodachrome 64 etc...) but i can't get them. i tried filters and all sorts... meh.

[cadpig]

Wish I could help you kebab? but I am a happy snapper, i use a digital camera and (sadly) it does all that stuff for me :(

The only thing I can think of that may help is to try and capture the light's reflection off dust or something and try and have a contrasting background so it shows up better (probably a stupid thing to say but I had to try :) )

Anyway

Happy panBattenburg day <-- aka Panc*a*k*e

Have ypu tried a polarizer filter? Try turning it to accentuate the light you are trying to film, instead of blocking it.

And cadpig, about your breakfast. . .:confused:

[cadpig]

I had to bite the face into it (and it was my lunch :) )

Been doing some test 'pack' shots today... This was one of the best :)

[Fick]

Took this on my travels this morning.

[edit to replace waffle with interesting stuff]
Taken with my wide angle converter (28mm equivalent), and made sepia with a bit of noise in photieshop.

Comments welcome, especially relating to my 'shopping. If you ask nicely you can have a look at the original piccy.

Nope, Paddington. I wanted to get a few piccies at Kings Cross and some on the underground, but I needed to get to Paddington to get my train so I didn't faff to much on the way there. As it happened I had plenty of time, so probably could have had a bit of a meddle along the way. Ah well.

I've meddled a bit more in photoshop, and uploaded a better version.

[safetyhamster]

Thats a cool pic, where was that taken?

[oppernaR]

Groningen, north of the Netherlands.
Twice a day the tide falls back so far you can walk on the sea floor for miles. It's a muddy and tiring thing to do and extremely cold in february, but the sight is worth it.

[safetyhamster]

i'd come and see for myself but it's quite a long walk

Just for future reference ;)

Actually, us normal users can't attach an image if we didn't initally, post an image, so it's better to copy the text of your first post, make a new one and attach the image. But then you should delete your first post!

Here is a picture of my friendly local clock tower (http://img24.photobucket.com/albums/v72/seaempty/2004_0324HelloPhoto0006.jpg)

[EasyTiger]

You scare me. You really do. I was just about to post this image I scanned in today. And it looks identical to your reflection. Are you stalking me? :confused:

[seaempty]

That is freaky, but unless your clock tower had a huge glass building near it, I think you're safe! ;)

[EasyTiger]

i'm safe :D

I know that's a window, but I could have sworn it was something else for a second :shock:

so i'm sorry!

[Fick]

Is that guy sure he has enough mixers? Must be compensating for something...

[Chief Kegwin]

Another glass building (http://img24.photobucket.com/albums/v72/seaempty/2004_0325HelloPhoto0003.jpg). Not like I'm obsessed or anything.

And a house isn't a home without a lava lamp (http://img24.photobucket.com/albums/v72/seaempty/2004_0325HelloPhoto0011.jpg)

And some dancing lights (http://img24.photobucket.com/albums/v72/seaempty/2004_0325HelloPhoto0004.jpg)

Sorry - got a new camera and can't stop playing :)

[Fick]

That dancing lights one makes quite a good wallpaper. Reflected it horizontally and chopped out a tiny bit and voila! Have a peep at the desktops thread.

Nope, just the standard issue Sony DSC-P32 cheap digital cam I have with me wherever I go.

That's great loneli :) Really querky, I love it!

[eejit]

bending the rules eeeeever so slightley, coz the pics were taken yesterday.

The first is from behind the goals, the quality is messed a bit because of the net.

http://www.theharrywraggs.com/gallery/album40/DSCF0040

The second was my first foto of the day, taken from the halfway line looking down the left wing. The facial expressions really make it. You can tell we were 1-0 down at this point

http://www.theharrywraggs.com/gallery/album40/DSCF0010

The third was just before a goal. I like the look on McD's face, as if you can see him planning his next moves.

http://www.theharrywraggs.com/gallery/album40/DSCF0033

main reason i'm happy with them is that theres a big delay between pressing the shutter and the pic being taken, so you need to predict where the player is gonna run.

[Fick]

Great photos eejit. I like the second one, nice depth to it.

Although alas I have no photoshop on this computer, so am using paint to resize pics! *shudder* I'm also playing with those nice little borders everyone seems to be using...

[EasyTiger]

Yey for spring, and whatever yours was cadpig ;)

For some reason my macro filter on my 28-200mm sigma lens, puts a halo around my images, and makes that look dreamy :shock:

[Rogue]

i like that. it reminds me of a georgia o'keefe painting

[EasyTiger]

Thank you :) And here's another..

[M*O*S*H]

WOOooo yay i can post pics again!!

Quality of pics here never ceases to make me go
"Oooooh cool pics"

I got me 300D last weekend :D then sold it again cos i had no money :-(

Peace Out

[EasyTiger]

How on earth could you part with the 300D? :o

[M*O*S*H]

Wasn't easy i'm tellin ya!

Will buy another as soon as my next student loan installment reaches me in 3 weeks :-) in the meantime all i have is the photo i took of it as a momento (how sad is that!)

Try being in your fourth year! Your loan shrinks massively and your rent nearly doubles :(

[safetyhamster]

***Drools over mere thought of 300D***

I got me a 300V and it rules apart from the trek to the developy shop and also the money for both film and processing : /

That doesn't stop me though! Now it's a-level revision time it seems like it's always a good time to go for a walk :P

<EDIT> Woop got my scanner working - although it is a bit poo : / Finally i can post my pics! I know it wasnt taken today but i haven't got a digital SLR so :p to you!

Here always seems to do.

[safetyhamster]

ok then.
First question.
Developing, does the quality of your prints vary much depending on where you get them developed? I ask cos i just picked some photo's up and they are a lot more poo than i expected and a hell of a lot of them seem to be overexposed or something. It was one of them 24 hour jobs and i was wondering if this would make any difference

[manny]

Nothing says the sweet spring season is here like a pair of ladybirds fucking.

[Fick]

[M*O*S*H]

Yo SafetyHamster,

Yeah it can make a difference! and you might find that even if you take the same film to the same place you'll get different results due to
- different settings (of colour filters) on the machine,
- or the service (E.G. Jessops Dimond laser exposes for each neg seperatley, but standard service 'usually' takes an average for the whole film)

just take the film back and moan.... tell em they're over exposed and they should do em again for you for non of your pennies. (take proof you had em done there tho!)


Peace Out

[EasyTiger]

Like he said, it does make a difference. Sometimes you can end up with colour casts on your images etc. Best thing is to complain though, then take them somewhere else. Professional developing places will almost always do a damn fine job :)

[safetyhamster]

Originally posted by EasyTiger

How much of my hard-earned pennies is that likely to cost?

Also. Problem number 2) i'd like to invest in a tripod. Will it make much difference to my pictures if i buy a cheap and cheerful one from jessops or is it advisable to fork out a bit more for a better one?

[EasyTiger]

To be honest I think it could be as much if not cheaper than somewhere like boots, but I couldn't say. I've only sent off 5x4 sheets of film for developing, not a roll of film with prints. There should be some in Yellow pages or something though, if you give them a call they'll give you a price :)

[Fick]

It depends what you want out of a tripod. I bought a cheap one from jessops (i can't link it, but search for VELVTP815B) and it's great for what I want because it folds up nice and small and isn't too heavy. If you want a bit of a more sturdy one and are less concerned about portability you might want to look at the more pricey ones.

I wouldn't assume that just because something is cheap it isn't any good.

[safetyhamster]

Good, that's exactly what i wanted to hear :D

Also, is it worth investing in a negative scanner? If i just get my negs developed it could work out cheaper in the long run, but what is the quality of the pics like?

[EasyTiger]

I also have a tripod from jessops. It was £50 I think, and it's sturdy and pretty light.

I have a negative scanner, but they are pretty expensive to get a decent quality one. For the price and quality I went with the Minolta Dimage III Scanner, it scans at 2700dpi which is pretty high, and does a damn good job. I tried a jessops jobby before that, which was £100 less and said it scanned at 2700dpi also, but it was a massive pile of crap. Do your research beforehand on that kind of thing :)

[safetyhamster]

I think my next major purchase is going to be a telephoto lens, so i doubt i'll have enough money for quite a while after that.

In the mean time however.......

[EasyTiger]

I got a wide angle - telephoto sigma lens :) Not a bad price. 28-200mm £146 from 1stcameras.com :) Only has a small range of apertures though...

My next purchase will be a lens for my newly acquired (as in today) Medium format RB67 :D

[safetyhamster]

What do you look for when buying a lens? is it best to stick to the same manufacturer as the body?

[EasyTiger]

that's a beautiful photo :)

No, to be honest, Canon lenses are good byt extremely expensive, and I think Sigma are really catching up and producing some great, good value lenses.

I have a 24mm sigma lens, which produces awesome quality photos. The 28-200mm is okay, but it isn't great when zoomed in full..

[safetyhamster]

Originally posted by EasyTiger

Why thank you :D:D:D

Yeah there seems to be about a £40 price difference on the type of lens i'm looking for (70-300mm). Do you reckon it's worth paying extra for the canon?

[scram]

If it's only £40 then i'd probably go with the Canon to be honest. They are renound for good lenses, and although Sigma really are catching up (their new 12-24mm wide angle lens is apparently amazing), they are still a bit behind Canon.

Yey Crocus buddy too ;)

[basstard]

Crocuses? Hmm...

If you're squeamish, don't look at the below pic as it's not very nice. It's a bee. Close up. With a tick [or some other bee-devouring insect].

edit - the bee's rear end is slightly out of focus as the autofocus on Macro is pants. But if you were trying to look for the bee's arse in the first place, you need help.












There you go, you've been warned.

[Fick]

I wouldn't blame the autofocus, it's just that you get really small depth of field with macro shots, so you can rarely get the whole thing in focus.

Much better than my bee photo, but I'm terrified of them (childhood thing) so didn't want to shove my camera (and hence me) too close!

[Ly]

beaded curtains and sticky window things make pretty shadows :)

great bee pic btw, love the colours

Bit of a techical question again.

My dad has got an old Canon EOS 650 body (alas the lense had an unfortunate run in with an airport floor a while back) that I'm thinking about buying a lense for.

This is my first foray into 'real' cameras and I'm a bit overwhelmed by the vast amounts of different stuff available. Does anyone have any recomendations of places to look for lenses? What kind of things should I be looking for?

[EasyTiger]

Well the first thing to remember is that you get a Lens to fit a Canon EOS camera :) Not Canon FD for example as they're two different types of Canon bodies.

As for lenses, they go from wide angle anything from 9mm (fisheye) to 28mm (standard wide angle). To telephoto anything from about 100mm to massive zoom like 1200mm.

Personally if you just wanted to purchase 1 lens, you could go for a 28-200mm or 28-300mm lens. This gives you wide angle up to telephoto. You can get Sigma and other brands like Tamron to fit the Canon bodies, which are cheaper than Canon lenses themselves. I recently bought a Sigma 28-200mm lens from www.1stcameras.com (could be .co.uk) for £146ish and it's pretty decent. They're also a good, cheap website.
I do also love my wide angle lenses though. I have a Sigma 24mm lens (fixed focal - no zoom) which is fantastic quality, and I got that off ebay for £127 I think.

Depends what kind of snaps you're thinking of doing really :)

P.S A canon EOS 5 camera is now mine :D I'm working at Jessops so got it much cheaper ;) It's second hand, but it is fantastic. Loads of features, and a good price. I'm now getting rid of my Nikon F65 with 2 lenses. (28-100mm) and (70-300mm) in case anyones interested?
