Sticking with the car theme ^

Could be a tad sharper, only the 3rd time ive had chance to use the rig.

 

[JamesBryan]

You going to invest in a 16-35mm or 17-40mm Riad? Not sure if 24mm is wide enough for rig shots.

Love this lol. But is he/she in some kind of enclosure? lol

Ha, thanks Scott!

Nooooo she isn't! Tis a little cat tee-pee thing, like this:

 

[Rob]

Back with the cats. FFS, CS kills sharpness.

I am 100% off to get flickr.

 

[welshname]

Was just about to say it needs to be sharper. Will wait till you've gone and got flickr.

 

[Scott™]

Looks out of focus to me :/

I think it's the CS compression. On my iPhoto it looked sharp as a pointy thing.

Walk past where you took that photo every day from work. I love the view from southbank so much.

 

[Turkish]

We were there for a fair few hours shooting at the weekend and felt like I hardly took any shots of the area. I really liked some of the stretch where the streets are older/wind around near the globe where nandos and the golden hind is but didn't actually take any shots there as my kit lens is too slow.

Clink Street/Borough? Wish I could afford to live round there.

Yeah, just something about the place/aesthetic of it that I liked.

Very blatant I know so 'apologies' I did try and resist this shot but couldn't!!!!

Glad I didn't post my shot from that location, yours puts it to shame, lol.

How good are these London shots!?

Love this thread.

 

[Niall]

Love the London shots, I need to go there one time!

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Took this today. Yet another wind farm shot but I like the lighting of this one.

Some cracking shots in here again. Love the London one's.
I'm off to London next week. Dont want to take the big tripod though, are the gorilla pods decent enough to hold a canon 550d & a Tamron wide angle?

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Great shot Brazo!

Might need another trip to London for some night photography me thinks!

Another meet anyone?

 

[Turkish]

I'd be up for a trip at some point although probably not for a bit due to cashflow being a bit tight.

Another of my decidedly poor shots. I really need more practice both shooting and at PP, might help if I had something better than iPhoto too lol.

100% up for this. A date I can do this time though, please.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

I'll tell you what, as I sort of arranged the last meets...I'll let a local do this one.

Only thing I ask that it's not the w/c 22nd October as I'm in HK

 

[Tonys]

Id be up for this.

 

[Brazo]

Had my St Pauls shot explored today on flickr

Always up for a london meet!

 

[Wick]

1) Brazo, Stunning

2) Yes please London Meet up

3) I don't come in this thread often enough!!

Oh also, "product" photography is really hard... One I took ages ago, been so lazy with the camera of late:

Yes *If* you allow it sufficient time to stabilise once you press the shutter button. Use a 10 sec timer or use a remote allowing plenty of time.

Mmmm Nice cakes But.....

Remove the tray and shoot on that work surface. Look to the left of the frame I see a wire, look to the right half a tea cup! Move these first!

And try experimenting with your horizon line (where wall meets work surface) so that its in line with base of cakes. Also ensure cakes in 'line' and not 'skewed'.

I know nothing about product photography but those are some compositional tips. I'd even get in there with a with a macro/lower dof aperture and get some bokeh going on!

And the cost of this advice? The flake one in the middle

Cheers. I will be taking the remote with me and I'll put it on a 10sec timer just to be sure.
Would mirror lock up function help at all do you think?
Really should have invested in a big stopper too but cost too much at the moment so I'll try fully manual with my ND8 for some of them.

 

[Brazo]

yes lock that mirror up!

I know Managed to critique most of that myself although the wall stuff is insightful... I more shot that on a whim to showcase my exquisite baking skills as opposed to my mediocre photography skills lol!

I’d shoot those near a window to get some natural light on them, putting them on a work surface of a table is fine because it looks like the place where cakes should be, like something out of a magazine on cooking or whatever, and I’d get a 50 F1.8 or suchlike to give a nice shallow DoF, shallow DoF always looks good on food shots.

I know this wasn’t meant to be a serious food photography shot but I just thought I’d give you some idea’s incase you wanted to show those awesome cakes off to their full potential!
