The "Ive taken a pic and I kinda like it" thread

[Brazo]

Really like Red Wharf. bay Niall, the composition is excellent. The others don't do a lot for me, mainly due to the lighting but good compositions nonetheless.

I actually need to buy a tripod. Stole Reolvs' for a few pics last night and managed to place the camera on a wall for a few, but I only got three I liked in London (and even these I'm not exactly well happy with).

What time were they taken Rob? I was in London last night but my skies were very purple, I packed up about 10pm

 

[Rob]

About 10-11:30 mate. I was only on a kit lense tbh so not expecting miracles.

Cheers, that was probably my favourite too really, I loved it when I saw it on the screen at the time, I just wish that I’d have had a wide angle for this trip.

I've not been out for ages with my camera but went to Bradgate Park with the boss and actually took a few photos!.. sorry there are so many..!! I'm not massively into editing - a bit of correction in iPhoto (and stitching some in PS...). light was average..

Quick one from a packed out BSB at Oulton Park today.

Great panning, A_Cro! Really sharp.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Cheers Niall. Couldn't believe how fast they were going! So much harder to photograph than cars. Got some decent pics, went radish to 1/20th for some.
Will make a thread tomorrow when I've gone through the 450+ images.

I had 2 hours spare before work today so I thought I'd have a go at water droplet collision shots, these are the best 3.

Nice photo,Tom. A CPL could have been handy for that shot by the looks of things. That Evo is gorgeous though, properly done that.

 

[Habitual]

Thanks man. Sold me CPL ready for the move to FF. Have little kit left ATM.

Like you, I'll be moving to FF and rebuilding my collection.

 

[Niall]

Ah I see. You’ll love the jump coming from a 600D, is it a 6D that you’re going for? Any lenses in mind?

 

[Habitual]

Yeah, a 6D man. I had a play with one in Jessops. Took some base photos on my 50mm f/1.8 and then put that same lens on the 6D. The difference was awesome!! Loved the ISO handling the most, I would say. It can practically see in the dark.

I don't know whether to get the kit 24-105 or two/three primes to cover the same range. I worry that like my 17-55, I'll never use the kit lens. Additionally, I ALWAYS use my 50mm...

So it's either the 50mm f/1.4 USM and some other prime lenses or the kit 24-105 L.

But without a doubt I'll be getting a 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM Lens (and probably a x2 TC) and a 17-40mm F4 L Lens.

But it's going to take AGES to buy that lot. But I knew that, and that's why I moved to FF now. So I don't have to upgrade everything 5/6 years down the line when I'm starting to get experienced and my kit begins to hold me back.

 

[Niall]

Yeah that’s a good choice, the only reason that I didn’t go for the 6D is that the plastic body put me off (as stupid as that sounds), I wanted the Magnesium alloy body, after the D7000 being Mag-Alloy I didn’t want it to feel any less solid, it sounds stupid but things like that really grate on me, I’m really partcular about the quality of things. But yeah you’ll love it!

If it’s one or the other then I’d definitely go for the primes, I’d love the 24-105 for a walkabout lens but I’d much sooner make the most of the FF DoF with an F1.4, F1.8 etc prime.

Yeah that’s the same as my plan, I’m currently looking for a Non IS 70-200 F2.8L and then after that I’ll be looking for a 17-40L.

Coming from a 600D you’ll appreciate the nicer user experience with the 6D such as the bigger viewfinder (the one on XXXD cameras is like looking through a keyhole) which will enable you to frame your shots more easily, plus it’s just nice to be able to see what you’re shooting. Then, there’s the bigger body that is nicer to hold and feels more substantial in your hand, and once you get an L lens on it it’s even better again, I’ve used quite a few since getting my 5D2 and my 50 just feels like a toy afterwards despite being quite well made for a 50.

 

[Habitual]

I'd love a 5D MK3 but can't justify the price difference from the 6D ATM. At least if I change my body in 2/3 years, my lenses won't have to change again.

Glad you're agreed on the lens front - always helps gauge that you're doing/thinking the right thing when others agree.

Whatsmore, the prime route works out cheaper too.

I look forward to the upgrade. The bigger bodies are a world apart from the XXXD range. Fingers crossed I'll be making the jump in the next 5/6 weeks.

Flipping love that shot.

 

[v15ben]

Don't post much in this thread these days, but I have to say...
That shot is frigging amazing, superb stuff.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Can only echo the posts above me.

Superb shot Brazo.

 

[Brazo]

Thanks guys, taken on my nex5n and a sigma 19mm prime, the combo is so sharp and has zero noise in comparison to my sony a77 and cost a fraction of what the 'proper' camera did!

 

[Niall]

Same as above, great photo. I’m hoping that I’ll be able to get some night shots of London done when I go again later this year

 

[Habitual]

That's awesome. What building is that?

 

[Rob]

SRS?

 

[Mr R.]

Wow love that picture.

 

[Brazo]

That's awesome. What building is that?

the big phalic type one? It's the Shard. Made explore today

 

[planetx]

Best shot I've seen of the Shard to date......only prey it was shot on a 80mb Blad Brazo?

 

[Brazo]

Only had my Leica m9 I'm afraid, the blad was in for a service!

Awesome shot, that. Wouldn't be surprised if that saw explore too.

 

[Niall]

I'll put it in some groups later on, I'm doing some street stuff in Manchester as we speak

 

[Brazo]

That really is a great s**t Niall, good 'seeing'!!

 

[Habitual]

Knew you'd like that Brazo! Thought it was one of your shots at first.

I took this on Saturday.
