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

Have a look through, steal some exif data for yourself and try again.

I'd up your f number BTW Higher f = tighter trails. Will obviously need to compensate with a longer exposure though.

Just practise. We were all noobs once !

I had a bash at these tonight. Think my new (to me) lens was dirty I'm guessing that's where all the wavy lights have come from?

Still, can always have another bash tomorrow lol.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Got filters on the lens ?

 

[ch!ppen]

UV, yes.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

Take that off next time

 

[ch!ppen]

Haha, i only left it on just to protect the lens. I shall try it without tomorrow

So here's the results of this morning's sunrise. Not the best, as soon as I saw how little cloud over there was I knew it was going to be average.

Bloody cold too!!

 

[Revels]

Great shots. You are mental though.

I struggled to get up at 8am today for work. No way I'd have gotten up 2hours earlier than that to take pictures

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Yeh kind of wish I didn't bother. Don't feel too tired at the moment though.

As we've been having some epic sunsets lately, might try some motorway long exposure stuff later too.

 

[Brazo]

Nice pics Dan, I stayed in bed this morning and went for a run (jog) about 9am, it was freezing cold and all I could see was mist and frozen fog and I have to admit to pondering how your morning had went!

At least you have confirmed the accuracy of that weather website as that forecast bugger all cloud

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

lol yep that site checked out ok in the end!

Thanks for the tip.

 

[ch!ppen]

Really like those shots. I wish we had some nice scenery like that near me. I've been trying to think of nice places to take shot's like that and i'm struggling

That's 75 miles away, so I can't really say it's near me! Sometimes I wish I lived on the coast

Legend!

I suppose when you see Mansfield everyday you tend not to always realise what's there for you lol.

 

[Brazo]

You see but you do not observe

Just been out for some sunset shots. Got lucky with this bird flying through:

A few more on my Flickr

 

[Scott™]

Looks great mate. Personally I'd clone the bird out.

 

[ch!ppen]

Thanks I'll have a bash at that soon. I've not had much practice with the cloning tool yet.

I'm happy with them for a first attempt. I thought i'd try Auto Focus at first but it wouldn't focus - so ended up trying to sort it myself. Very awkward with the sun in your eyes though!

[Mr Burns]

...No worries chap!

Just got back from Bala Lake, quite like this one so far...



And this one...



And this one...

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Like that last one

I hate this country, why is it every time I head out for photograph the sunrise/sunset it's s**t. But countless other times when I happen to be doing other things at those times, it's epic!

Not long been back from trying some long exposure stuff over the motorway, I got such crap results I'm not even going to bother posting them lol.

In fact the best shot I took was on my phone!!

 

[Mr Burns]

I was just thinking the same thing the other day, Dan. A friend of mine always carries his camera around in his car on the off-chance that he'll want to take a shot. I like the idea because as I'm starting to enjoy photography more I find myself wanting to get the camera out more frequently.

 

[bomber]

I do need to start leaving my camera in the van, the amount of miles i do and a lot to mountain/hill tops/ mast sites does call for some great photo oportunities sometimes. Got a new camera bag for my birthday and have filled it up with all the kit, so much easier now

Photo from today, taken up top of a church. Should of used a circular polarizer for the clouds but came out alright none the less.
