Well the two worth looking at are Apple’s Aperture, and Adobe’s Lightroom. I have the latter and it’s fantastic. Buy cheap, buy twice as they say, so go the extra and get Lightroom in my opinion.
While @Craig. was over my way this week we met up to finally get some photos of his Sunflower yellow 172, so here are a few of them taken from the full set -

Lovely sunset tonight, and I couldn’t have picked a better night to go up the Cathedral tower -

What you said then is pretty much what I said, with subsets it does need to be a nice sunset to get a decent photo of it, the obviously the photographer needs to be able to capture it well, so it's dependent on both. But it helps to have a nice subject in the first place :)
Well yes, but similarly you can be the best photographer in the world, but if the sunset is naff then you aren’t going to get the best sunset photo. So as long as you can capture it well then it comes down to how nice the actual sky is :)
Exactly, I think it really ruins an otherwise fantastic forum. I prefer this photography section on here in terms of the people etc, just on there it’s way more extensive.
I gave it a like the other day, loving the recent work!
Cheers man, hopefully I’ll be progressing a bit faster after...
Just shoot in whatever style you want, Matt. Photography is subjective after all. I tend to find some people’s style on Talk Photography and suchlike a bit ‘safe’ and conservative, if the image has any distortion or sun flare, or anything relatively edgy they say it’s terrible.
As for Facebook...
Good work, Adrian. They’re a very commercial style of photo which I guess suits the purpose of them. We’ll have to sort another photo meet with Eddie. now that the weather is on the up and not freezing like last time.
It’s basically a more premium Flickr. Flickr has been inundated with crap snapshots from phones and suchlike, so 500px is more dedicated to quality photography. The work on there is amazing.
Get a Nikon AF-S 35mm F1.8G, fantastic lens for the money, I had one on my Nikon crop body a good while ago. You can pick them up for £100 second hand or around £130-150 new.
Cheers!
Thanks, man. I was getting a mixture of things really, the style of the photos in the different locations better reflect the mood/atmosphere at that particular venue. For instance, the fisheye ones were taken of a rather eccentric bunch (if any of you are familiar with the DUNE RATS...
Thanks guys. This was my first attempt at shooting music related things, and it was really liberating having such a gold mine of potential images and ideas.
Yesterday I shot the Liverpool Sound City Festival, luckily I managed to get a photographer pass including the pit pass so I was very free in terms of where I could go which opened things up nicely.
The festival itself was fantastic with some great artists performing, and behind stage I spent...
It’s a good forum, the Classifieds section on there is brilliant, in fact most of my gear I have now was bought from the Classifieds on there.
The forum sections themselves are good although there are some on there that can have conflicting tastes so you have to take comments with a pinch of...
I’ve just bought a 580EX off Talk Photography tonight; excellent condition, boxed w/pouch, foot etc for £150. Not bad.
430EX prices are around the £95 mark on TP, I thought that was fairly reasonable really.
