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

[Gavin.]

Nothing spectacular, just an iPhone pic but I liked the picture.

Not my usual "cold" editing style that I use for my instagram account, but I fancied some more and warmer colors for once.

Grabbed a few shots whilst at Blenheim Palace today. A 50s American car show was there.
Low.

Love the truck, because it's a cool arse truck but really like the (I'm presuming your wife and child?)
kissing one.

I like the DoF background building but also you can see it's a normal everyday rather than set up, with the people around, but the main focus is natural but captured.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Yeah that's the wife and boy.
I thought it had gone full image and not thumbnail.

That was as Blenheim too. Absolutely stunning place but it was bloody hot today.

1st post in this forum, lets see how it goes...

Good first post!

 

[Scrooge]

I concur, I like that. Car is pretty damn epic too!

The peaks in the Dolomites never fail to impress.

Nice!

What camera/lens do you use.

 

[timuss]

Here's one from Duxford last weekend two members of the Horsemen P-51 team conducting a practice just as the light was going, at around 7.50 Last Saturday.

Thanks!. Used a Canon 550D and the Canon 1.4 50mm lens. Dodged and burnt using Photoshop to bring out the front and make the background lighter. Applied a filter using VSCO.

The night in the tent was cold as f**k but I'd do it again just for sceneries like this

Incredible.

My camera has been neglected recently. Need a few days off to get out somewhere.

@nius02 Is that you on the pics you take and set on a timer or is it a friend?

It was a friend on my latest photo. But usually it's me and the girlfriend presses the shutter

 

[Stuperbulous]

A couple more..

 

[JHead]

First time back on CS for aaaaages! Mainly come back for the photography chats!

Can someone remind me how to embed the flickr images again!?

 

[Mr Burns]

Haven't posted in ages as I haven't taken anything lately that I'd consider good, and this is no exception really but at least my timing was on point lol.

 

[Clio_fool]

You need to copy the BB code. You can't do it with the Flickr app.

All from my first three weeks down here on the Scilly Isles! All advice welcome! cheers

I need some tips for star shots. (@Aaron.. ?). I tried a couple last night but got blurred stars on exposures longer than 1 minute as the planet is turning. I resorted to massively high ISO and f4 with a 15 second exposure. There must be a better way?

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

That's a pretty impressive first effort. Slightly jealous of your holiday location @Andy.

What are you using? Focal length?
I generally don't go longer than 30 seconds at 14mm. 10 seconds at most if I'm using my 50mm.
You can get away with high iso on the newer cameras, I often shoot up to 6400 on my 6d. I generally shoot at the largest aperture I can too. 2.8 for my 14mm /1.4 for my 50mm although the latter is an absolute PITA for getting stars in focus. Probably should up it to f2.

There is a rule of 500/focal length for maximum exposure before movement which seems to work for people.

Hopefully you'll get some more clear skies out there. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the shots.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Oh yeah, looks like you've also caught some meteor's too. Probably part of the presides shower.
And a plane.

Thanks for that! I'm using 24mm f4 on a 5DMkII (24-105 lens). I resorted to the H2 ISO, which isn't pretty RAW.

I did some reading last night and came across the 500 rule. Hopefully I can try again tonight if we have clear skies.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

I've just seen what H2 is... yeah that won't be pretty at ISO 25,600!

I've got that lens but I've never tried it at night. My mate uses the 17-40 at f4 and gets good results.

Make sure the noise reduction is turned off in camera and also the image stability on the lens.

Try those settings I mentioned above. Hopefully you'll get something decent.

I really like this. You could use it to advertise the rum itself, its that good IMO.

Great shot

 

[Jekyll]

Shot with a 35mm so not super macro, but i like it.
