Firstly, have a read of the stickies at the top of the photography page. Will give some valuable information.
You shot one (maybe all) at f11 and ISO of 400.
Try shooting in AV mode, bring the f number down to 4 (or lower if you can, can't remember what the kit lens goes down to). Try auto...
Cheers mate.
I had already corrected the verticals, the lighthouse is actually leaning towards the sea though. Has annoyed me many times.
As for getting lower, I need to invest in a new tripod as that's the lowest I can go at the moment. Might make a waterproof bean bag actually so I can get...
If they help me I'll help you /anyone on here.
One of the guys has just built a wind turbine and its run with an arduino, he's had to code that and told me that my little project should be easy!
That's helped me, cheers foxy!
I'm going to show a couple of guys in work who are well in to arduino , they can point out what I will need, help me with the coding if I decide to go that route. I just need to get the frame and dolly sorted this week then I'll see what's what.
If only it will be clear here tonight. We have been having crap weather recently. Last night was OK ish but clouded over pretty quick. Dont fancy an hour drive inland to find out its cloudy (again!). Might get out with the wool though.
Look forward to your shots though guys.
Stopped off at the lighthouse on the way home yesterday. Ten stop filter. Should have left it a bit longer I think though.

Small bump.
How much did you pay for your Sony?
I'm looking at an i5 Dell, but have also seen Lenovo's for pretty good prices (sub £500 I'm looking at)
Only thing thats putting me off a lot of machines is Windows 8. A lot of bad reviews from what I've read saying its more suited to tablets...
This is what I'm thinking of making.
Just need some rails welding and to make the dolly unless I come across something in the meantime.
I had a beginners motor gear kit form Maplins a while back and quickly put together a little winch with it but I am now looking at them motors and board...
I'd go for the Haida ten stop personally. Gives that extra bit and its cheaper than the 9.
Some reviews from talk photography http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=337439
Cost me less than £50 for a 77mm one from ebay. Not had any issues with it really (the thread was a bit...
Nice ^^
I've just ordered some parts. Going to make the dolly out of alu, using bearings as wheels running along some box section, just need to buy that and make the frame. It will sit centrally on one tripod I think.
I have a motor set up but I think I'll start again with a programmable...
Nice set. First one looks a bit soft though but that might be due to me being on my phone.
So many people have taken samey shouts there, nice to see a bit of a change.
I'm going there on Friday night after shooting a day in Liverpool, hoping for some decent skies /clouds too for long exposures.
Just spotted this video online. Looks like they are going straight from 3 to 4 instead of something else in between.

Not too sure on this now. Wasn't overly keen on 3, looks like its just another money maker for them...
That looks good but I dont think it will be the future.
I have seen/read about offerings from Microsoft & Sony and they both feature headsets and projectors mounted to project 360 images on to the walls of the room. That's the direction it will go IMO. Or maybe something like google glass...
I've tried and failed with smoke before.
This guy seems to have it dialed though, well, with light painting and smoke.

Got this the other day. Had a good few hours on it and I'm quite enjoying it.
Still on the first island. Done a few missions, rescued a few of the friends and taken out a lot of the outposts and towers.
Just looking for certain animals to craft some things like the largest loot pack and ammo...
Very likely IMO seeing as they have only just stopped production of the PS2 (last month). Two more years of production isn't much really. Not everyone will be able to afford a 4 straight away so there will still be a big demand for the 3. I imagine the 360 will still be in production for a few...
Just had a look at the Killzone Shadow Kill trailer and it looks really good. Not sure if it will be enough for me to buy the console on launch though.
And that shadow dogs (I think that's what its called) is only for this too. I thought it was being made for PS3 when it was first announced.
Nipped over to Liverpool yesterday.
Just had a quick look at some of them, I have a lot more to go through from on top of the Cathedral and the City tower, also a lot of shots by the river waiting for sunset.
Quite like these though.

Ferry across the...
I think its been started from there for the last few years, I always remember about it the day after too. Need to find the dates and make sure I'm off this year.
Great shots and a superb location. Fair play to you for making the effort to get there and putting in the miles on foot too.
Really like number 2, 6 &18, but all are very good.
