This wasn't today, it was Saturday night, but close enough...

[oppernaR]

I usually hate negative pictures, but in this case it looked quite nice...

[EasyTiger]

I like that a lot :)

[oppernaR]

So what do you do next? You take some potentially shiny or reflecting objects and snap away ;)

I took this while migrating yesterday.

[Fick]

And this one was waiting in the garden, which has been busy growing while I've been away!

Comments welcome on the colour of this one. It was taken through a A-Daylight (85) filter, which makes everything look all warm and sunny. Bit of a funny story how I got it, my uncle had his old SLR out and all his filters were 58mm (as is his camera) but this one was 52mm. Must have shrunk in the wash! ;)

[EasyTiger]

I love filters :)
Some very nice photos there Fick!

[belpernews]

Hope you like!

Great photos :) Love the use of the telephoto lens in the last image :)

[belpernews]

Praise from Caeser! :)

No telephoto lens thingies here - just my naked Olympus 3030

[EasyTiger]

Did you zoom in far?
In which case it probably had a telephoto effect on the image. A telephoto lens squashes things in the frame closer together giving the effect of them being close, when infact they could be several meters away from each other :)

[belpernews]

Ah I see... Well, I'd already zoomed it in to the max. They *were* pretty close to each other anyway.. scaredy-cat German policemen :D

Me too! :D And it's great that you can get them pretty cheaply on Ebay. I've had a few that are clearly really old by looking at the packaging but are still in near perfect condition for only a few quid.

I'm waiting for my Neutral Density one to arrive so I can have a dabble with long exposures.

How long exposure was it? Shots like that and similar ones with seashores are why I bought my ND filter. Haven't had a chance to play yet though.

[EasyTiger]

I used 1/4s shutter on some, and 1/2 on others. Doesn't make much difference between the two :)

[Fick]

Aaah. It was shots like that that made me want a neutral density filter, but when I got my ND4 from eBay the exposures still seemed really short 'on screen'. But I haven't had chance to try it out on proper moving things, so maybe they aren't as short as they may have seemed.

You can i'm sure! Just takes prior knowledge of what you need to do to get it :)

Which in this case, is basically a reasonably slow shutter speed, and a tripod :) Running water helps too ;)

I don't have photoshop. I tried to make the join look better, but any efforts simply made it look even worse than before.

I would have, but I didn't want to bump a 2 and a half month old thread. It's up to the top now, but at the time of my post it was many pages back.

Also, I thought the picture was quite fitting for the daily photo thread, on account of it being some photos I took earlier on in the day.

[EasyTiger]

It was a good try smeagle :)
I would be naff at piecing photos together ;)

You posted it in the right place, though it would have fitted in widescreen pics too. I understand your concern in bumping the thread, but it wouldn't really have mattered being that your photo was on topic :)

[Fick]

Widescreen pics is one of those threads that keeps coming and going. I've bumped it a few times, I can't see any problem with doing so if you are posting a wide pic! Especially if it is really wide and would have difficulty fitting in Daily Photo.

As I mentioned somewhere in the Widescreen thread I've got a program called Photostitch that is pretty good at automatically merging pics.

If anyone wants a copy grab me and I can send it over.

[DarkTrojan]

I wasn't growling, although it looks like it. :(

Hello everybody, my name is Fick and I have a problem.

Rather than taking drugs, I take photo's of them (then take them)

hehe. Nice photos! I've done the whole photographing pill thing before too ;)

[Fick]

It was those photos that made me take mine. :D
Hopefully my +4 filter will arrive soon so I can play with closeups.

Still scanning in the 7 rolls of film I took in grassington :/

I have a few more images from scanning that I did yesterday..

*WARNING* There are lots. Sorry :shock:

[Tofufi]

Wow, ET those are nice

may I ask which railway that would be?

[EasyTiger]

To be honest I have no idea :) Its one around the skipton area. I only saw it from a distance though through the car :)

[lellykelly]

It was a little big but this was taken from my trip to Niagra falls. These are actually the American Falls though.

Purdy! (http://img49.photobucket.com/albums/v149/lellykelly/000_0322.jpg):D

[Fick]

+4 Filter arrived today.

¬ ¬

[EasyTiger]

woo \o/

I went on a hike around Marsden today to get more water/waterfall photos :)

Took 5 rolls of film :(
Will get them developed tomorrow though I think. Might wait till monday and do them myself though :P

[Fick]

It feels a bit strange.

I've got used to using the macro mode of my camera and sticking the lense as close to things as I can but now I'm playing with these close up filters I can get much closer by moving further away.

These are both taken with a +4 and +1 stacked.

This one is a bit of a ruler; these are the actual pixels showing about 5mm.

http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~pjh64/further-away-is-closer.jpg

While this one is my ever willing test subject, taken with 4sec exposure, ISO 50 and F8.0 (bit of an experiment with a few things, I wanted biggish DoF but low ISO to stop any granyness. The not great lighting added in made for a long shutter speed, but I had my tripod.).

http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~pjh64/PICT1547.jpg

I'd be interested if anyone can explain the strange colour tint round the edges, I've read about it somewhere before but can't quite remember what it is and how to stop it!

Comments and any general close up filter tips most welcome!

[EasyTiger]

It's because of the filters, especially if you stack them. I think it's purple fringing, but it might not be.

I used to get it on images too. Not sure how you get rid of them though :shock:

[M*O*S*H]

Great pics ET an' Fick!

I've always wanted to take waterfall pictures like that, ever since i saw one in the Kebab shop daahn taahn. But I always forget to buy an ND filter when i'm leaving work :nana: I blame horrible customers stressin me out

[Fick]

Hopefully I'll be able to take a break from revising and go for a bit of a bike ride this weekend and get some nice close up shots, and maybe even some ND shots of the more exciting upstream bits of the Cam (the most boring river in the world!) .

Hey! It's not that bad, be proud of cambridge! Heh. It's nice in summer, if you go punting though.

Punting is good. It's just the small matter of finals to worry about first!!!

Once they are done I plan to spend a month drunk before graduating and then moving on to my summer job!

[lellykelly]

Sounds like a good plan to me! Take some pictures when it warms up though!

[Tofufi]

Nice warm weather in Bristol :)

Dandelions are not so bad...

I too must apologise for the multiple postings, my host is sulking.

I've found out that it is currently over heating due to lovely weather!

[Fick]

[Fick]

And one more small thing...

Now I'm off into town to see if I can snap some other nice things.

[Fick]

More pics from this afternoon on my grand trip around Cambridge.

This one was taken in black and white with a R25A filter.

http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~pjh64/PICT1632.jpg

This one shows how the tourists try to punt, ie badly!

http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~pjh64/PICT1634.jpg

While this one shows how to it in a much more classy way!

http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~pjh64/PICT1648.jpg


I also had a play with my ND4 filter around a weir thingy by a lock, but it was really bright and my camera only goes to F8.0 so I couldn't really get short enough shutter speeds. This pic is the only one that really captures much motion but most of it is overexposed.

http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~pjh64/PICT1628.jpg

Thanks :D

I'm going to pop them up on my shutterpoint later, but i'm not sure if I'll be able to get away with the first sepia one without tracking down the tourists and getting them to sign model releases! ;)

I really like the sepia though. Those sepia and B&W shots were done using my camera's built in colour modes not photoshop. Not sure if it makes any difference though!

It's when you compare those punting shots to this colour one that you really see the impact of the colour. This one just looks a bit like a holiday snap!

[lellykelly]

They are real nice Fick! Me misses home. :(

[Fick]

They love me! (http://www.shutterpoint.com/Photos-ViewPhoto.cfm?id=55434) :D

I took these the other day. Only got around to scanning them today though. This is the place I grew up, and this is an area we used to go for picnics and to swim in the plunge pool :)

and nice pics too fick :)

[cadpig]

Nice pics all :)

I have a question for ET also, how did you get that effect with the water? I am guessing shutterspeed but I am probably wrong.

Slightly off topic I know but I am in Bilsthorpe at the moment (just outside Mansfeild) and was wondering if there was anything paticularly interesting to photograph in this neck of the woods apart from, er, woods that is :)

[EasyTiger]

Yes it is just the shutterspeed :)
I use a neutral density filter too though, because this reduces the amount of light hitting the film. In this case, because it was sunshine, I had to use that and stop the aperture down to about 32, then had a 1/4s shutter speed :)
I could really have done with a 1/2s or 1s shutter speed though :/

[cadpig]

I am learning :)
thank you ET :D

Lovely pictures. I especially like ET's third one and last one, and the colonels 2nd one.

I had lunch in the university's botanical gardens today and I'm definately going back with my camera!

So very cute yellow fluffy ducklets, (non teenage mutant ninja) turtles and some very cool tropical plants.

I took a bunch of pictures when my Mom and I went down to the Isle of Wight, Friday night.

These pictures were taken Friday/Saturday... the Sunsets were last night!


http://www.star-inn-geddington.com/~seraph/wight5
These are the chairlifts we went on to get to the beach, in order to see The Needles!

http://www.star-inn-geddington.com/~seraph/wight4
This is to the left of The Needles. Veryyy clear water, and amazingly high cliffs!

http://www.star-inn-geddington.com/~seraph/wight6
This is a picture of The Needles, if you can squint just right :p I apologise, my digital camera does not have zoom or anything fancy!

http://www.star-inn-geddington.com/~seraph/wight2
This is as we were just coming out of East Cowes (Leaving Isle of Wight on the Ferry), with all the sailboats tucked in for the night.

http://www.star-inn-geddington.com/~seraph/wight
The ultimate beauty! (Taken from the Ferry's top deck)



It was beautiful there! (Even tho we were told its a place for old people AFTER we went there.. heh :p)

Went to Isle of Wight when I was about 10, they scared the crap out of me at the time, rickety old things.

Ohhh... nice, Vampi. That reminds me. I need to get some hosta plants for my balcony- just like those. I like the white outline.

[moog]

quite simply, its onions. heh

[vampiress]

yes same hosta from the other day. this will be my last pic for a while as i seem to have a faulty cam, so i have to send it back to the factory for repairs. i am so sad. i love my little cam. http://vampiress144.com/pics/flowers/wet_hosta.jpg

That picture was taken about 10 minutes ago, 2.10 am. I love it when it doesn't get dark :cool:

I went to the beach yesterday. These guys appeared to be doing training, which meant they flew over us quite low a few times.

That one reminds me of Vanilla Sky. It has the Monét style to it.

not really sure why i like this; was tinkering about with a rather bland pic i took and made something quite striking out of it.

[EasyTiger]

That's gorgeous :eek:

For a plane?

[vampiress]

i have never seen such a shiney engine before. what will it go in? are you one of those mechanical people? i feel so ignorant when it comes to engines. i like watchign the mortorcycle shows where they build them from scratch, but i still know so little. no one has ever bothered to explain engines to me, so what i know i've learned because i broke something and needed it fixed and asked a lot of questions.

[manny]

yep its for a plane :)

this one in fact:
http://ninjarobots.net/stuff/planecover/146_4611.jpg

I doubt it will stay that pristine for long :(

My friend John. it looks underexposed, but the slide is spot on. i just wish my scanner wouldn't be such a gimp :(

1/500 @ f/1.4, ambient light only.

taken at okehampton castle in devon just wanted to try out my little picture lady too)

[gatochy]

Yay, my first pic, taken just now, solely by me, with my very own digital camera. World, this is my cat, Gatochy (yes, it's my forum name.)

[manny]

Its quite good that there doesnt appear to be a mouse on that pc either :)

[DarkTrojan]

The cat ate it. Duh! :rolleyes:

[edit] I spy an HP Vectra... you poor thing gatochy

[Wraithzula]

Ooooo, Photography people.

Hmm, I'm in the market for an SLR camera for a class I'm takeing this fall. Might any of you have any recommendations for one on the cheap. Cheap bieng less than $300 US.

They're wonderful photos! I love them all! :ultra:

[i love donkey]

Beautiful pics vampy
clouds are wonderful things

[kebab?]

A really old photo (ok, about a year old) taken with my Pentax :D

exposure was (i think) 2seconds @ f/11

(it's overexposed, i know)

[EasyTiger]

I took some in the village I grew up in yesterday... This is just one of them because I can't be bothered with linking them all..

[vampiress]

wow et, that looks like a story book setting. once upon a time in a small villiage lived a beautiful girl with a camera...

edit adding some pics woo...
http://www.vampiress144.com/blog/foggy_morning.jpg it was foggy this morning. the building on the left is the bank of america headquaters. i used to work in the performing arts center attached to it. the building on the right is the ugly heart towers i think looks like a martini shaker. the heart building is about 30 stories and the bank of america is over 40. low clouds this morning.
http://www.vampiress144.com/blog/star_flower.jpg
ohi just can't stop with the hibiscus. this one was a cool shape. the plant is quite tall, so i had to step on my tiptoes and hold my arms high to get this shot. i looked quite the fool.

[EasyTiger]

*grins* arn't you quite the sweetie :) Thank you!

[DarkTrojan]

More sunset photies \o/

A pic of a cocktail...

[EasyTiger]

Took this last night... orange filter used.

[qwerto]

WOW thats really beautiful.....
wish I was there...

[kebab?]

Question for EasyTiger and DarkTrojan...

do you use slide or print film?

DT's pics make me think velvia 100f or velvia 50. not too sure about ET's pics though... sensia 200 maybe?:confused:

[DarkTrojan]

Mine make me think Canon A80 Digital :cool:

I can't afford film... I've taken 1250 photos in the last 6 months!

[EasyTiger]

likewise ;) Canon 300D..

I do use slide film and Superia 200 as well though, but not to the same extent because of the expense.
I need to get a lens for my Mamiya RB67, because I have some various films (velvia, HP2, delta 3200) I want to put through that and see the results..

[qwerto]

A pic of some flowers....
I adjusted the Hue a little bit..

Sorry for slight off-topicness - but where is that exactly (I'm not a scary stalker (usually) it just looks beautiful and thus I'm curious) :)

[EasyTiger]

It's called Marsden.. It's a nice village. It's not all beautiful, but there parts of it that are very picturesque :)

[M*O*S*H]

I've taken 12,500 in the last 6 months

I'm sad and just had to check ....

I've taken 12,952 in the last year, Digi and film. so i s'pose that means you win.... what exactly i'm not sure :confused:

[DarkTrojan]

Yes, but we are not photography students. :( I'd spice this post up with a daily photo except I haven't taken any yet.

[EasyTiger]

One I took last night, whilst experimenting with flash lighting..

[M*O*S*H]

Nice 1 ET!

Tiny Apperture and bounced or non direct flash?
Do you have your own studio for that kinda stuff?

[EasyTiger]

Aperture of about 29, and shutter speed of 6 seconds :) I bounced the flash off a reflector (piece of white paper) :P

No I don't have my own studio, it's all fashioned from whatever I have kicking around :)

[M*O*S*H]

Blimey! that was quick!

Wish i was as creative as you with me set ups .... best i can manage is some old curtains and a table lamp :-p

Just got me a DL1000 tho :-D

[EasyTiger]

a DL1000?

I'm not really that creative, I just see something I like and want to try and recreate a similar effect :P

For that one I used some black velvet as the background, set up my camera on my pod and used an IR cable release to set it off, then used the pilot on the back of the flash gun, to flash it at the reflector during the long shutter speed :)

[F*CK_KFC]

DAMN :mad: I was taking a pic of the crappy weather, so i opened my window, took a pic. http://home.zonnet.nl/joost7/KUT001.jpg
And I closed it. But now for the fucked up part. My window didn't close as I wanted it to close,
it just completly broke off.
http://home.zonnet.nl/joost7/KUT002.jpg
Damn my parents are gonna be pissed :nana:

[M*O*S*H]

Poorly scanned but u get the idea, one of a 20 part series thing (one of the less rude ones) :P

[EasyTiger]

Nice lighting! Are the others available for viewing out of curiousity? :P

[M*O*S*H]

Possibly sometime soon, working on a website at the mo (not a rude one, one for my art :-p)

[cadpig]

My pool sprung a leak :confused:

[moog]

hmmm, been toying with taking some commercial looking photography. If you would like to give me some feedback i'd be very grateful; i have no frame of reference for this kind of thing.

[gatochy]

I like the pearly sheen it has.

[moog]

aye its silver really, but i overexposed it and added a magenta filter on the top. Its a bit grainy from compression as well, but thats forgivable i hope.

[gatochy]

Is it supposed to remind one of the head of a robot smiling - or is it me seeing human faces everywhere as I always do (I really do that) ?

[i love donkey]

I see it to...nice pic colonel

[vampiress]

http://www.vampiress144.com/blog/factory.jpg factory a block away from my office building. yes we have random factories in the middle of town. no idea what they make, but it's a refinery of some sort and smells bad. always liked the big silver metallic silos. the geometricness of refineries with the pipes and stairs..

http://www.vampiress144.com/blog/purpleflower.jpg that big green hosts thing from a few pages before has some lovely purple flowers.
http://www.vampiress144.com/blog/purpleflowerbunch.jpg

and for no reason, the traffic light near my house. i love the copper glassed building against the blue sky. it had just finished raining and hte sky was clearing. the light was wierd. http://www.vampiress144.com/blog/trafficlight.jpg

You might want to have a look at Shutterpoint (http://www.shutterpoint.com/). You have to pay for an account but you can upload photos and get lots of feedback as well as sell photos!

Mine has paid for itself quite comfortably. There is a link to my pics in my sig, and EasyTiger's are on there somewhere as well.

[EasyTiger]

Yeah shutterpoint is good, but don't expect to make loads of money on there or anything.
I've managed to sell 4 photos now, but that's over a 9 month period or something.. and they were only $20 and $25 each.

It is however a good place to learn about commercial photography too :)

[cadpig]

The closest I have come on my hunting expadition to capturing the ever elusive EasyTiger so far...


MMmmmmwwwwaaaahahahaha ;)

[vampiress]

sky. i'm boring not much to take pics of aside from the flowers and the sky. i found a cool church, just need to figure out how to get there to take a pic. i can see it form theoverpass, but it's in a sketchy area. maybe this weekend.

[moog]

[manny]

Noticing a definate improvement over the pics you first took when you got that camera, vampiress :)

Love the factory one a couple of posts back.

[vampiress]

thank you sir. i was most happy with the way that turned out. i only had one go at it. i'm trying to remember everything i learned about composing a picture. it's been over 10 years since i last attempted to take more than a goofy snapshot. it really gives me a boost to know someone noticed.

Was going to add a border to make it look all nice and fancy. Only problem was that I couldn't find the correct CD for the program.

Messed with the colour settings a bit.

[EasyTiger]

that's lovely :)

[moog]

it is

very beautiful and desolate, i really like it loveli

[M*O*S*H]

Eek! Pretty and full of Metaphor! nice Loveli.


Here's my pants effort .... i call it, over exposed cat with snake....... (yes the cat does only have 1 ear! picture not photoshoped)

[DarkTrojan]

Jenga anyone?

[Loveli]

Played with the colours because I wanted something bright.

[vampiress]

oh loveli, just gorgeous!

[Fick]

Very nice pics from all.

Now now DT, there's nowt wrong with a bit of light comedy now....

(should i be ashamed the 'fingers up noses photo' made me giggle?)

[M*O*S*H]

I've got me scnning arse in gear ... a pic i took on 35mm 2 nights ago. 30 seconds at f11

[Fick]

Nice picture. Looks a bit wonky though :rolleyes:

[EasyTiger]

Went to Waddington Air show yesterday.. I have woes with my camera that I need to sort out, but managed a few okay photos.

They are here (http://www.jem-online.co.uk/images/airshow)

[^Rennaps]

It's a shame the light wasn't better that day, but I call it "Nature vs. Paranoia"

[vampiress]

oh ren, that is a great pic. i really like it's a bit dull(not the right wrd exactly) like the bleak grey sky and the harsh barbed wire are draining the colour away from the flowers. (yes this is why i suck at poetry, i am just so cliched and obvious)

et. some of those were absolutely spectacular. i love airshows. i really liked the ones head on the aircraft like pic 35 i think it was. the big plane looks so imposing and menacing and dark against the blue sky behind it.
there was also the one with the cool black and white pros that was just fab. i only looked at a few so far because i'm at work, but those really popped.

[^Rennaps]

Aww, thanks Vampiress :D

[EasyTiger]

Thanks hun :) It was a fun day apart from the mishaps. I have dust on my 300D sensor, and have had to order this special bottle of fluid and pads in order to clean it. If it goes wrong, then my camera will be buggered :(
