One of my first back in the UK. Not sure I prefer living in Yorkshire to world travel though!

Its a shock to note your back on home turf Ben, must be an unfortunate culture shock!!!

^Cracking shot. Not sure if a bit of distortion correction might help, but that's just me

Finally got myself a new toy to play with. I'm sick of lugging my huge D3 on trips (if I can even fit it on some trips), so I got myself a Fuji X100. Awesome looking bit of kit, proper retro! Looking to take this everywhere as it's so much smaller.

 

[Brazo]

Cheers Dan. Let's just say That's the level of distortion I settled on without losing to much of the sides of the image!

 

[Niall]

What’s going on with the dust in that one brazo!

It really is a culture shock.
Have already seen a chav fight in a local town centre at 4pm on a Saturday evening!
I love your London shot, spectacular stuff!

 

[Brazo]

What’s going on with the dust in that one brazo!

Dust? 7 sided dust? heres another without cleaning the sensor.

[Niall]

I’m not sure what you mean? But look at the blue light on the right hand side, and then all across the sky.

 

[Brazo]

Niall it's lens flare mate, all same small aperture size. But I'll try and clone out the worst so thanks for the heads up!

[Niall]

Ah right, never seen lens flare like that before, I always thought it’d be more of a light colour considering you can’t get black light, but it’s still a great photo non the less

We are talking about this right?

 

[JamesBryan]

That's dust alright

 

[Brazo]

That's right Niall but it's all the same size and is aperture shaped and seven sided and only appears in one shot I took all evening which was of car lights, might even be internal reflections of the aperture.

 

[Niall]

Ah right, very strange. Either way I’d clone it out

Although the others you’ve posted were at larger apertures, so the dust would be harder to spot, and in that one it’s F16, so it would be easier to spot.

 

[unofficialPete]

That's right Niall but it's all the same size and is aperture shaped and seven sided and only appears in one shot I took all evening which was of car lights, might even be internal reflections of the aperture.

Pretty sure this is dust on the sensor, it will only show up at tiny apertures. Take a photo of the sky @ f/22 & throw on some contrast to see how much is on there.

Stunning shots of the city btw! :approve:

 

[Brazo]

Ok guys will try it! Thanks.

 

[Brazo]

So did a little test at f32 and Just shows how wrong you can be! Will purchase a cleaning kit off Amazon. Cheers!

Love this! Nice work mate.

 

[Turkish]

Doubt I'll post mine from the same locations as they're a bit rough in comparison, lol. Although I must admit I seem to have some random objects in the top right of the shot that look like asteroids burning up in the atmosphere.

That X100 is a proper good looking bit of kit. Big dough though!

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Not really when you compare it to consumer level DSLRs etc which would cost at least 1k for the body alone.
I'm just about to board my first flight with it, although I think this will be one of those trips where I don't have any photographic opportunities at all.

 

[Cliotoby]

Slightly edited, annoyed with how blurry the trees are. Its either because my lens is non VR, or because Im a r****d.

Post them up mate, only way to learn!

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

Some snaps with the X100 from Heathrow earlier on. Doubt I'll get any time to get any more shots over here in Danishland

 

[planetx]

^^^^ Good lad - see I have made you another convert, I should get commission from Fuji

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

lol! I should have a nice wrist strap and shutter button waiting for me at home when I get back. Customising a camera lol, whatever next!!

 

[v15ben]

Really like that second one, Dan.
Great colour night shot too, Brazo!

 

[Niall]

Awesome photo’s from the X100 Dan, I’m sure you’ll get some epic images from it considering your Iphone photos are better than most peoples DSLR photos.

Playing with the 50mm the other night.

Christmas cat by A_Cro, on Flickr

And one from this morning.

lovely shot of the cat. How do you keep it so crisp at 2000ISO?

At 1600 mine looks like it has so much more noise.

Just a much better sensor mate. Like I mentioned in your D60 thread, my one gripe with the D40 how it handled the ISO - think it shares the same sensor as the D60.

Can't believe how much that cat looks like mine! Speaking of which, one of it from the other day:

Another square from Gloucester Quay.

We stayed in the old Lock Cottage that looks over the lock from the Severn a few weeks back - the docks are brilliant for photo'ing!

Rekon I should get rid? Was going to buy a new lens for it but Im tempted to get rid of the D60 as well now. Woud prefer to stay Nikon so I can keep my Lenses but people seem to rave about cannon.

 

[Hixle]

Not at all mate, as a started DSLR they're brilliant! The only thing I can fault it on is the ISO limitations.

Yeah Ive found its OK unless its dusk, then the pics are really noisy on 1600 ISO. Ive bought a VR 70-300 Lens so maybe Ill get some better shots off with that it was pretty cheap so I can always re sell it.

Cheers. Must just be the sensor. Maybe the lens helps too?

Took this with the same lens yesterday. Had to use live view, didn't come out as sharp as I would have liked though, that could be down to the focus being lower down the grass though...

And tried getting the Milky way last night, far too cold though and freezing fog came in pretty quick. Again, not how I want it but didn't have time to play around with the settings. Also need to find somewhere further afield as there was still quite a bit of light pollution creeping in.
