My first attempt at some architectural photography today. For some strange reason tripods weren't allowed inside which was frustrating as the quality of the photos are crap! This is were FF would really come in handy for me.

Some nice ceiling shots, don't get hung up on full frame by the time you have to stop the lens down for maximum depth of field and fit some heavier glass on you would need a tripod anyway even if you ramp up the ISO. At best you'll get 1 stop ISO improvement over the best APSC sensor.
I would wager in this situation a micro four thirds camera with a brilliant stabilisation system would do a better job than full frame. You could shoot at f4 (as opposed to f8 on full frame) that cancels out the ISO benefits of full frame. The lighter m4/3 would be easier to hold still than a full frame camera so less shake at slower shutter speeds and the 5 axis stabilisation system of say the Olympus should better any in lens system.

Cheers. Ahh I got the impression they were far better in low light situations? Although I get what your saying about the weight etc. Never the less, I still feel FF would suit most my needs perfectly, as I love my landscape photography

Some nice shots on here. Like some of the cathedral ones Piers.
Went to Quarry Bank Mill today. Didn't get many shots though.

Tried a Brazo special here but there was a bit too much greenery around the edges so had to crop pretty hard. Taken with a 10-20.

FF is generally better for low light due to lower pixel density, but there are some good APS-C sensors that can do surprisingly well.
One thing DXO mark can't measure is that 'look' to the photos though. The photos straight out of the camera look so much better on my 5D2 than they did my D7000, even with an identical lens (Sigma 50mm F1.4).

Cheers. I should have changed my lens for it but it was starting to rain. I should have also shot f8 to try to keep it sharp as possible on the 10-20
Some fantastic pictures on here, they keep getting better and better.

Nice shot Tonys, correct the horrid distortion and that'll be even better.
Bloody Flickr..

Thanks Dan. Wouldn't know where to start with distortion correction tho.
You should be chuffed with that Piers, love the moon in it.
Another from me, taken in Uganda.

Have you got light room Tonys? Will help with your editing if you do.
If so, on the control panel near the bottom, there is the lens corrections section. In the manual tab of it, bring the vertical in a bit. Maybe to -10? I know I go up to -30 at times with my 10-20mm.
Nice shot piers.

Failing Photoshop.. Try The GiMP.

Is there lens correction in there?
Evertyime I've tried to use it I've had a nightmare. Either crashing or not saving correctly
Light room is easy enough to get hold of and perfect for small corrections.

There is lens correction in Photoshop (Filter/Lens correction). Or launch Mini Bridge in Photoshop, double click on any pic and Camera Raw will start (if I remember correctly it depends on PS settings, so it may occur that the pic will open in PS not in CR). Or in Mini Bridge launch Review mode, press 'R' and Camera Raw will start. Camera Raw has got decent lens correction menu.

Not posted for ages.
Managed to finally take some photos on a holiday to the US over Christmas/New Years.
I like the top one, but for some weird reason the bottom one was explored on Flickr and has had 5000+ views in a day!

Really wish I had the right kit to take decent star trails pictures, the stars looked awesome this evening!!
Thanks, Brazo.
I just thought it was weird that it was that particular photo that hit the big views; over 8000 now!
Really like your abstract building shot ideas too and love the title of the last one.

One from last night on the way from Anglesey. Was supposed to be clear but clouds started rolling in pretty fast and the moon was fairly bright considering it was only a half moon.

Waaaaa.. How the hell do you get so many views? Barr the obvious good pictures.. Is it due to contacts etc? My average is prob 100 views, one has gone up to 800 but that pathetic in comparison to you lol.

It all depends if you make explore.
One shot I had had over 10,000 in 3 days due to it being on there. The higher up, generally the more views you'll get.
There's no specific way to get on there though. Some are tagged to death, put in groups etc. Some are left with no key words, not tagged, put in groups etc.
