Took this last year just came across it again.

 

[Wick]

Thanks.

I wasn't actually on the bike. I just had my hands on the bars and pushed it very slowly. A VERY slow walking pace, if you go too fast the camera shakes too much.

Thanks may go have a play with shutter speed shots tonight

Good point, I took it when I was a n00b

 

[Gally]

I hate my noob picture taking abilities!

 

[Vish]

Couple from last year that I don't think I've posted. These are straight off the camera, no editting or processing yet.

A little bit dark. I think the Stigma and a couple of anthers are just in focus.

 

[Revels]

So much wrong with it, but it was only a test.

 

[TheEvilGiraffe]

^ Rig or handheld ?

 

[Revels]

Rig.

 

[Dunc.]

Doesn't look real, it is of course! Blows me away every time I see it against the general back drop of old Manchester.

Nice picture! Brings back memories, stayed in the top floor of the Hilton there amazing views and room.

Revels, from what I've learnt with doing the ones with Shadowness it doesn't look too bad, we use a 4 second shutter speed (I think) and various filters too. Practice makes perfect

First go at splashes,

First "proper" go with a home made welding glass filter.

^ Great shot. A 10 stop filter would have made an interesting photo though

Where was your point of focus btw? It's nice to see a photo like that with all of the foreground in focus. Did you use hyper focal distancing?

 

[Chris n nic]

Just took this of my girlies on Sunday. Was a struggle to get them to keep still hence the focus but I like it

Beats paying ££££ at Venture lol

I wish i had a 10stop filter, the welding glass produces some horrible lines across the photos so i wont be using that again! but the leebig stopper is a bit outta my price range atm!

I used manual focus and conecntrated on getting the end of the boards in focus IIRC this was taken at f16

This was more of a test for me to work out how to choose which filter will work best. The metering showed a difference of about 4 stops between the ground and the sky so i used a 4stop hard grad which worked quite well.

A 'cheaper' big stopper.

 

[GeordieClioDriver]

Interesting! I will more than likely end up with a set of Lee filters but for now im playing around using some Kood filters. I still prefer wildlife atm but lndscapes are starting to take over!

Looking at some more L glass to, the kit lenses just aint sharp enough!

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

You pay a heft price for LEE filters for a reason.

I stick by one policy when I buy anything.......'you get what you pay for'

 

[GeordieClioDriver]

Yep, which is why i played with cheaper ones first... to see if i enjoyed it!

I've invested all my money on wildlife tbh, 300 prime, the 1D body 1.4tc but nothing in the way of landscapes.. not anymore! Come june i will have the canon EF 17-40 F4L Lee filters will follow shortly after!

Messing about in the garden before I go for a ride:

EVERY photography needs a Manfrotto 035 clamp and tripod head combo. They rock! You can attach it to anything (within reason!)

I hope to get on a proper trail and do it again, but don't want to take my camera on a ride

Agree'd #035 does the job... Flogging mine if it's of use peeps...
