The "Ive taken a pic and I kinda like it" thread
- Thread starter Revels
- Start date
2.2 bar shed.
Stick a thread up? Considering I love in London unlike the last time it happened it'd be rude not to attend.

I'm not organising this one, not because I don't want to....far from it.
But I'll let someone else pick the dates/venues etc.

Luke's got me playing with the 50mm more now, it takes a bit of getting used to (being a total amateur not being able to zoom etc), but I prefer it massively over the kit lense.

Went for a bit of a drive today looking for some inspiration for this months comp. Took a few shots, not sure if I will use any for it though. I liked these from today's bunch though.

Loving the new camera and lens, D7000 and Sigma 50mm F1.4!

Did you manage to use f1.4 in that light without an ND filter Niall?
R26
Ah that's good. I often have to break out my ND filters when using my 1.4 lenses due to being too bright.

Really good pics on this page. Like that a lot Ben ^^
I went out to try to get some star trails earlier. Went out way too unprepared. I have cold, wet feet and aching legs now! Next time it either needs to be warm or I need to remember a chair!
One of the RAW's that I took to test the shot. Came out well too soft. Need a new lens!
Week 43 - Rhuddlan Castle by A_Cro, on Flickr
And this one, only 28 images at 30 seconds, F5, ISO 200. Some movement, again, not helped by the softness of the lens IMO.

Its a Tamron 19-35 , about 10 years old and has been well and truly used and abused. I think I can get it serviced but I might be better off with a new one when I can afford it.
Really like the London ones of yours Brazo. I'm there on Saturday for a few days, hoping to get some decent shots.
Actually. I think I might be a spaz. I had it set to infinity so the castle was probably too close. b****cks.

To get sharp shots you need to:
Focus manually! Yes AF is perfect for most shots but for landscapes, especially night you can't beat mf.
Use a sturdy tripod
Use a remote release or 10 second timer
Use mirror lock up or even better get rid of the flapping mirror
Ensure more than adequate exposure as plenty of light helps sharpness no end!
Whilst a sharp lens is helpful the photographer can influence sharpness in so many other ways its far from the be all and end all!

I had it on mirror lock for the first shot (it didn't work on multi shots though so I had to turn it off for the stat trail stacks).
I didn't use a remote until I was doing the trials
The tripod isn't the best but it was dug in to soft ground and not extended all the way.
I should have checked the manual focus instead of thinking infinity would have done!
My max exposure was only 30 seconds, should have left of longer (the ISO was at 200, should that have been 100 and a higher F number? )
And do I keep the in built noise reduction turned off in the camera?
Hopefully I'll get are better ones next time and should get something good from London.
Cheers for the pointers.

Another zombie photo, and one of West Midland's Finest police officers (Best copper ever!!)...
Lower iso is always best unless doing single shot astrophotography in which its generally iso 3200+ and 600/focal length to work out shutter speed to prevent stars from trailing.
You can have the wobbliest tripod in the world and as long as its not windy it will be perfect *IF* you leave it long enough to stabilise and use a remote shutter.
Noise reduction switch off! Always do this as you have far more control in raw.
I have only learnt the above from making mistakes myself so see it as a good learning experience. After all .... only a wise man makes mistakes!
