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

High key mono and a slightly different composition would work well in that light imo.

Thanks for tips will keep that in mind, this is my first dslr and only been at this for two weeks so any feedback would be appreciated.

Some really nice images been posted recently. I'm currently in the middle of a little project so I should have some more to add soon.

First shotbwould benefit from more sky and try it in black and white as there's not much colour there. Second shot, go lower to capture the reflections of the sky in the water pools and use rule of thirds for horizon.

Shot 1200 photos at a festival and ive got 12 decent ones Getting 1 in 10 photos as decent ones would be nice. Hell at this rate I'd settle for 1 in 20.

What ISO was it set at Stu? May explain the graining.

Bully - they're awesome mate.

Was taken at Shutter Speed 1/1200 with an ISO of 800...think that was on auto

Bully....how were you taking them?? they are quality shots

With a Canon DS10 waterproof camera, it's only a point and shoot. I was in the water and took around 90 pictures, maybe 5 are OK ish like the ones above. The waves were not as clean as I would have liked but it was more of a practice for me. As a surfer of 20+ years I can read the waves and hope to get some way better shots. My next step is getting a decent waterproof rig with manual settings as the Canon was a bit slow sometimes and I missed some good shots. When I upgrade my SLR (its old) I may get a waterproof housing and use the old body in that. £££££££ though.

Going back down today but again the wind isn't great so may get similar shots. Need a good clean sunny day with decent swell, rare here. I want a through the tube shot with land showing through it if you know what I mean....not easy at all.

Niall, great shot, simple idea too. Damn you and your simple ideas turning out so well....I never have them. ;-)

Bully, amazing shots.

A shutter speed of 1/200 - 1/400 would have let you bump the Iso much lower. A lot of non SLRs really struggle at anything past ISO400.

I tried reverse mounting (just holding the lens) my 35mm f1.8 today for some macro shots, I’m quite pleased with the results;

I put a more saturated version on 500px so this is the lower saturated one!

 

[bully]

Conditions were far from ideal today but I went in anyway to cool down, took around 50 shots and this is the only one which is slightly ok....

Going to wait until the September swells hit and try again. I want that clean looking through the tube shot.

Had my camera about a week, motion shots was something I wanted to try straight away. Still got a lot to learn but I like this one. shame about the rear end being blurry!
