Ikea in Hannover, Germany...

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Really like that first one Derelict! The tones of the sky and IKEA sign have great contrast.

 

[ipodsandguns]

Great pics. Shame about the signature

Messing about in the garden earlier:

Love them Dan.

 

[jenic]

Love the last one Dan, love the detail in it

How cropped is that?

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

It is cropped a little bit, nothing drastic though. I did use NoiseNinja too, as it was shot at ISO1600!

Nothing original, but I was bored this evening.

 

[Derelict-UK]

Thanks Dan, as soon as I saw it on the LCD screen I thought 'Thats a winner'

Great pics. Shame about the signature

Is that for my images? I hardly see what is wrong with a simple text watermark at the bottom right of the image. If it was plastered across the image then fair enough, but it's not, I even go to the point to make it more transparent so you can see more of the image. I have seen my images stolen and re-used on other forums and even youtube videos, If it wasn't for my watermark I wouldn't have been able to (easily) remove them or get credit for them.

I have worked hard to get to where I am with my photography and not to put some kind of mark on them if posting on the internet would be like me giving them away for free.

Dan, is that last one through town? the wasp further up needs a hair cut, getting food in his mullet

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Bomber, yep. Tripod mounted in the passenger seat, and a 10 second exposure driving through the town centre. Easy

 

[Sym0n]

Dan, are you wearing a mohair jumper and long johns?

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

^FLOL. Cheeky git

 

[Andy.]

Dan, did you use anything for lighting the interior or was it just ambient?

Cracking shot too.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Ambient. I was going to experiment with setting a flash off, but didn't get round to it. I think the ambient works we'll enough.

Flashes on 2nd curtain are great for handheld !

Need to try this^^

Absolutely spot on!

Open to the floor but direct towards Dan's photo on the previous page....

Aperture priority? Or do you have a 6th sense allowing you to work out the perfect shutter length for each shot?

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Never aperture priority.

When shooting something with constantly changing conditions, like driving through a town, ALWAYS use manual.

I did guess what settings I needed, I originally set it to 6 seconds, but that wasn't quite enough so I had to increase it.

 

[Wick]

Cheers ^ I have to admit I normally flick between "P" and "AV"

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

If the thing you're photographing doesn't change (lighting wise) then P or Av is fine. But as the lighting was changing so much, aperture priority wouldn't be very reliable.

Most of the time I shoot aperture priority, switching to S priority when shooting motorsport or similar.

It's in those tricky situations when you have to make the switch to manual.

^First two are good attempts, you need to secure the camera a bit more to get the interior sharper.

Oh....and fix the white balance

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

This was the best shot I got from Dunraven Bay yesterday evening. Pretty disappointed, wasn't the best conditions for photos.

Ran the battery dead on my Pen yesterday creating this. Good fun going along to an event with a project in mind, made me look at all the cars in a lot of detail as well, amazing stuff.
