I haven't been in one for a little while and I love the sound, scoobies are guilty pleasure of mine.

I started off yet another project this week. Only a 52 this year though which starts with this:

Top photos Rob! Reckon we should sort out a SE photo meet (*read I'll tag along and learn some skillz)

Borrowed a D40x off my dad this week as photography is something I really wanna get in to, I'm struggling a bit but getting the theory now a lot better than I was. Any C+C on this would be much appreciated, I like the idea of taking close up, macro and bokeh shots but only have a 18-55mm lens for the moment.

How do I embed a photo straight from flickr?

Go to the pic, hit 'Share', then 'Grab the HTML/BBCode', 'Medium 640' is normally enough. Copy/paste, voila:

Thanks chap.

Feel free to PM me anything you want, or find me on bookFace. Not sure how a photo meet would work, depending on the subject but give it a go I guess !

 

[Mike...]

Cheers mate, I did try that but didn't seem to work just pasted the html code into the message. Does it need wrapping in img tags?

 

[Wick]

Not sure how a photo meet would work

No me neither really (although I think the welsh/west lot were organising one at some point). I was hoping something along the lines of you "Mr Miyagi" me "Daniel-san"... Plus any others who want to tag along for a proper geekfest

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

I started the idea of a meet in S Wales yeh, but it was a nightmare to get a date that everyone could do. Might try one again soon, I'd like to visit the coast there again soon.

You need to paste the BB code not the HTML Make sure you've got BBCode ticked under the code on Flickr.

Skating is by far my favourite thing to shoot but I never get chance to, its controlled by too many factors such as work, weather, spots being a bust and being to lazy to skate/walk to a spot as we can all drive.


Other day I charged all my batteries for a fresh start to the year and got this

af 50mm 1.8 on an AF-s body. proper man.

Decided I'd give a Project 52 a crack this year - done my first one tonight. Quite pleased with it

Really like this shot, I grew up skating and properly miss it. Got a new set up last summer but barely used it, I've got too much to loose if I tweak an ankle

Had the missus's 21st this weekend, and for anyone who frequents the 'Things I don't like' thread, they'll know how well and truely battered I was.

Nevertheless, I managed to snap this, which I'm pretty happy with.

Managing to make a tiny cricket club look like Ibiza ftw!

However, shooting lazers ftl. I've properly fucked my sensor I think, the camera isn't exposing correctly

Don't get drunk and play with lazers kids, you'll end up with a fubar'd SLR. Expensive mistake.

There was a post on POTN a while ago from somebody who fried the sensor on their 5DII while filming a concert. It got swiped with a laser and had a burned black line across each shot.

Andycon from here also has a point and shoot that is well and truely fried from shooting his lasers IIRC.

Just starting to get the hang of my D5100. Loving it at the moment.

Took this at Christmas.

Took this today and am very pleased with it so thought I'd share it with you guys and girls.

Make it level and will be perfect

 

[Liquid yellow 182]

Already levelled it in PS, surely can't be far off!

 

[Mr Burns]

Maybe your monitor is on a slant?

 

[bomber]

I noticed it on the iPhone so it's not mine. I really need to get out more with the camera, got a new camera/lens bag for Christmas and still haven't even transferred the kit into it

Nice pic but yep, it's well on the piss!!

It is slanted yes, if I may be so bold to offer some other C&C

It doesn't appear especially sharp? The shutter speed was 1 second was it handheld or blurred ever so slightly? Watch the corners, bottom right has something in it, try not to place horizon in middle of frame as compositionally it doesn't always work. If you shot in raw I would try and up the contrast a little or reduce exposure in the sky.

Theres a little white blob approx halfway in from the left and about 2 inches up from the bottom. Could be flare or dirt on sensor/lens?

 

[Liquid yellow 182]

Re edited just for you lot, surely this is level!

You're computer is fucked! Just put that into photoshop and it's way off.

How are you 'levelling' it?

[Brazo]

Straightening can be a real PITA. Have spent ages trying to do this but wide angle distortion (12mm, ignore exif) is very difficult!

PS rotation tool usually does the job. Show me what you call level then so I can compare pics.
