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

[Ay Ay Ron]

Get a remote trigger for it, it'll help massively.

I need to dust my camera off. Might take it with me this weekend to Manchester, unfortunately I'll have the wife and kids on tow.

Took this on the phone from Warrenpoint the other morning. That’s Northern Ireland on the left and Republic of Ireland on the right.

That’s a awesome point there for different type of shots, astro photography, some pics with a few seconds delay

So, picked up an SLR for the first time in 10 years after buying a light from Amazon. Thought Id give some light painting a go. Now, it's out of focus 'just' frustratingly. However, it was an experiment session so I wasn't expecting instant results, however I'm happy with what I managed to get. Needs finesse and another hand, rather than me pressing the shutter with a 2sec delay and then running to grab the shot.

Any tips would be appreciated.

Nice one, started to look in this thread a bit recently. I still got my 500D , there’s a photography walk for mental health and wellbeing every week or two , been meaning to start going to it, need some lenses as only got my kit lens and 50mm at the moment as I sold the others. Still got everything else, carbon tripod, case, filters and other stuff

Light painting is hard work in daylight because the amount it lets in with the shutter open for longer, hence the blur. You can drop the ISO down. Can you not set a 10 second delay on the camera so you can get over there and get set? Maybe wear darker clothes? Or wait til it's darker and park near some ambient lighting to light the car up more.

Industry & cars, what's not to like?

 

[Whisker biscuit]

Bit of zoom required so lost quality but that’s a decent looking chicken.

Is there a video anyone can recommend which goes through the camera settings for iPhones? You can get some pretty decent photos from them if you know what you’re doing.

It’s amazing really that you can take those amazing shots, see right through the water, and still not be able to see the massive f**k off wreck that’s right in the middle of those pictures, right below the surface*. No wonder people keep crashing into it.

*yes I know it only just uncovers at low tide but still
