The "Ive taken a pic and I kinda like it" thread

You're going to struggle to come up with anything amazing at a car show, especially one like Trax.

Get out there doing shots like that reflection shot, as that looks very good to me.

Trax was s**t you won't have any argument from me on that front but of the several hundred snaps I took a few came out ok. Not a patch on the shots you guys pull off though.

I like that Adele if i was being picky i'm not sure how much critical sharpness you have but iirc you use a macro filter rather than a lens?

Nice shot Turkish

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Quite like the soft feeling to that shot Adele

The skies looked promising this evening, so headed out to the fields behind our house.

[Tom C]

Wow!

[Pint]

Honestly that couldn't have been easier to take.

5 minutes.
iPhone
Camera to take that photo.

All you need.

Guess I'm being dim. My brain can't work out the process to create it.

[Turkish]

Lovely. Is the bottom shot several stitched together?

[Scott™]

Great shot Dan. I prefer 1 over 2 as I can see the stitching lines of the 6 images. What filter did you use? I'm always envious of your blues and whites, I just can't nail them.

Take a photo of your hand with your phone, ensure it's life size, I.e. your fingers should be as big on screen as in real life. Display picture on phone. Hold phone in hand and arrange fingers to match screen. Having already set up your main camera aim and fire.

^just like that. The hardest part is getting the first object the right size. I must have taken about 25shots my first attempt

Yeah was taken with some cheap screw on filters i got ages ago off ebay, they always make the focus a bit soft!

^Nice!

I'd love to go back to Korea someday. I hope I can through work soon.

I really like it here, plenty of scope for photos too.
Where did you visit before? Seoul?

I never shoot people, but now I'm full frame it seemed rude not to...

Yeh Seoul twice. Loved it. Both were short trips though so I only had the evenings to look around.

Nice! Like uber small DoF shots.

[v15ben]

^ I wouldn't say that. Looks great!

I'd love to try a twist on that shot and put the horizon bang in the middle, then flip it horizontally, so the reflection is upright.

I agree, great shot.

Seoul is great, Dan. I've had some great times up there!

Talking about flipping horizontally, I was doing just that on Sunday morning with this shot!

Like the narrow dof!

Having seen how limited jpg's are when PP is there any point shooting in RAW + jpg or just stick to RAW only?

[ScarySquirrel]

A couple I took of my missus. I'm not sure about the processing on the second one, I know what I was aiming for, but I didn't quite get it right. I think I need to reduce the reds a little, I'll probably have another play with it tonight.

Just RAW. Creating both files seems pointless, especially as you can get it from a RAW.
