You can see that happening - maybe we should...

Awesome theme, this should stretch the skills.

Well done Dan. I hope the next theme is a cracker!!! Not literally a cracker though, that'd be shite!

These are the pick of the bunch, the others a just your normal tourist ones... I'll see if there's any more crackers and dig them out. Yeah, there's a good thing about flickr, just shove a /meta at the end of the URL (like http://www.flickr.com/photos/mahoosive/5759596024/meta) then you see...

Cheers guys. There are some colour ones too, but i'm clearly in a moody-mood so everything is b&w tonight :)

I was asked by a guy I work with to go up to London and get some shots for him. Naturally, I obliged, especially as he is paying me. Here's my picks from 70 odd edits.... DSC_5313.jpg by capturedbyjames, on Flickr DSC_5283.jpg by capturedbyjames, on Flickr DSC_5161.jpg by...

How about this theme http://themeforest.net/item/king-size-fullscreen-background-wordpress-theme/166299 in wordpress? I use the non-wordpress version on my site http://www.capturedbyjames.co.uk/ - pretty easy to use...

Just read the blog too - a great read and really helps with your processing :)

fri-kin-awe-some! Love it mate, really want to get out there and do one now...

Just got round to editing this pic from, errr, christmas... DSC_1938.jpg by capturedbyjames, on Flickr

nice - what lights were you using, and how were they set up?

interesting.... two ways i see this going: 1) a natural looking soft portrait 2) something beautiful that happens to be in nature good luck guys - i have some ideas for this!

Ace effort. Looks like it was a satellite going across. Great first effort though, loads better than mine!

Again, I forgot to actually enter a shot... Next month, maybe I'll remember!

I didn't bother with any software, apart from photoshop, just opened all images as layers, and set each layers mode to Lighten. Job done!

I was thinking that 31 seconds would give me 1 second in between 30 second exposures. Clearly I was stupid though... It's far from the cheat method - it's how the real boys do it! Leaving the shutter open too long means the sensor gets hot and starts doing odd things and gets very noisy. I...

Cheers. Now I've tried it I'll strive for perfection (with a remote shutter release). That was 40 images, 30 second exposure, ISO 200 f2.8 I believe (can't remember off the top of my head). I just took one shot that I was happy with, then used those settings for the rest. A bit of...

D'oh!! I didn't have a remote with me, and the only way I could think to set this up was with interval shooting. Clearly not thinking, and being a complete fool, I set up some 30 second exposures at 31 second intervals. So, 30 seconds shutter open, 31 seconds rest, 30 seconds open, 31 seconds...

A silhouette is a shadow, right? DSC_4311.jpg by capturedbyjames, on Flickr Undecided if that's my entry yet though...

well jealous - site is awesome, and google chrome - checkin' in OK. Is it a WP site?

Top stuff. I tend to use a massive reflector to remove the front shadows... sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't though. Did you move the lights at all from the shot at the top? When shooting families I always tend to spend all my time at their level, and my softbox usually lives about 6...

Off to the Maldives on Thursday - i'll try and actually get a shot this month :)

I've seen a few guys on Talk Photography go on about welding glass and masking tape - a cheaper option too :0)

Just done this blog for a mate of mine, kinda explains my workflow: http://fordoing.co.uk/2011/03/workflow-of-a-freelance-photographer/

Give me a shout - just started out http://www.capturedbyjames.co.uk/

Cracking tutorial dude. RAW has saved my ass a couple of times in the past month. Haven't shot jpg for years now :)

haha - i thought to myself "do i spend 4 hours trying to line this up - or do I just live with it?" I went for the latter.

Slap them as data on a CD and hi-res jpg, then make a nice label featuring one of their photos. Seems to go down well with my customers so far.

no number two's please... ergh.

Perfect question and answer combo! Cheers dude - it seems to have worked for you, hopefully it will do the same for me. It must always be a nice feeling to justify turning work down...
