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

[Matt_90]

Had to nip up to London tonight to meet up with a wedding client, thought it would be rude not to do this shot again! I have done this photo 3 times with three different camera setups and this one was shot with the d800 & 35mm f.14 sigma.

'Brown Out' - that moment you've realised you've just trashed a £1500 14-24mm Nikon lens.

 

[Matt_90]

Awesome shot! looks like it has had a texture applied in photoshop but you look twice and realise what is going on.

 

[planetx]

I only the one camera/lens at the time so could show the condition of the lens afterwards.

If you know the 14-24mm you will be familiar with the from glass element and how exposed it is.

It was destroyed.

 

[w33 brl]

Pity about the price of the lens, I'd be pissed but it's a great image tho

Something a bit different from Paris back in the summer.

Cool shot Ben. I was so disappointed that there were barriers at the Trocadero (sp) so you couldn't get near the wall. Planned on plonking the camera on there with my 10 stop.

 

[v15ben]

Me too, Luke.
All sorts of long exposure shots were planned, but in the end I went for different ideas like this one.

 

[Hixle]

I think the problem with LE shots in the touristy parts is the exact subject of your photo, ha. It's a cool shot mate, one I've not seen done before. If you look a few pages back I went for a far more cliched one

I'd love to go back to Paris from a selfish photo trip POV. Sadly I had the missus to entertain.

 

[Niall]

Love that, Ben! Really different and well executed photo.

 

[Brazo]

Don't you just love iPad togs blocking the view with their large format cameras

I'd love to go back to Paris from a selfish photo trip POV. Sadly I had the missus to entertain.

Exactly the same for me, it's a really photogenic place, just not easy when you've got a missus who isn't interested in which f-stop to use.

 

[v15ben]

Haha, fortunately my missus is into photography and was even more determined to take lots of photos than me!
We both felt that Eiffel Tower was great for sitting next to drinking vino and eating cheese, but a nightmare for taking photos.
The missus got a cracking shot of St Peter's Square in Rome with someone right in front of us shooting on an IPad actually.
Instead of getting pee'd off with them, we decided to try and capture people shooting with them as we find it so funny!

One from yesterday at Oulton Park after most people had left-

Brilliant shot. Lit lovely too.

Couple from Friday when I went to the Rally of Wales staging area. Didn't take a flash with me. Massive fail on my part.

Shot with old 28mm manual lens.

Best of a pretty bad bunch!

Thanks guys. I’m going to get some flashes of my own after the lens I’m getting for Christmas, after using Adrian’s (RedCup) I’ve realised how good they are.

 

[Red Cup]

Those light stands we were using worked quite well too. Very adjustable, just a bit noisy most of the time

 

[Chi]

Brilliant

(Re)taken this morning, it was a wonderful foggy morning at the Hungarian-Slovakian border. Last weekend it was very cloudy but today it was perfect for taking a good autumn landscape.

[Keydogg]

Went out last night for a bit and took a couple of photos of the clear sky. First time I've done it so quite pleased with these (although I wish I'd researched the sky a little bit more so I know what I was looking at), I'd love to do a proper star trail sometime.

First one taken with 55-250 IS and second with 50mm 1.8.

That moon shoot it's stunning

I really want to do something like this but the sky is never clear enough nor is there nowhere near enough stars showing!

I like how the beach stones turn into bokeh. Can't think why you went for a bokeh type shot...

 

[Brazo]

Few abstract type shots from the little village darn sarf.

Well... it didn't look that good without it tbh

Might go back in the week with the 105 f/1.2 to see if I can get anything else, and a tripod! Although, having just double checked the settings, its only at f/2.5

Really like your 3. Favorite is probably "Hang gliders" but I really do like the range of colours in "See through"

A couple from London on Sunday that I liked

Great moon shot, so sharp!
Love the Hang Gliders shot, very bold colours and that title made me laugh!

I took these down in Sussex near Brighton a week back with my Canon bridge camera. Only point and shoot pics as I haven't worked out or tried adjusting anything yet.
