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

[JJ!]

Didn't think this was that great, but it just cleaned up at the local Horticultural show and I got a trophy too!

I like your canal shot, I'd like to see a square crop maybe of the buildings, taken in a tad from the left and cutting out the path. Might work.

I kinda like it.

I also really like both the photo of the Capri and the car itself, looks absolutely mad!

First time out with my new camera (Canon SX50 HS bridge camera)

Still getting used to it but the only major issue I'm having is I keep accidentally pressing buttons when I'm trying to take shots, and I'm finding it trickier changing the shutter speed quickly as the cars were circling the track.

Only a crappy iphone picture but I thought it was cool

Last night was a last minute clear skies chase. Didn't have enough time for a star trail but did manage to fire off a few shots.
This is a 4 shot panoramic, all shot in portrait. f/2.8, ISO 3200, 25 seconds. Stitched using Microsoft ICE and tweaked in Photoshop.

Love the texture of the logs, Aaron.

A few I like from 223 I took the other day with my mutts. Nothing anywhere near the quality of many on here, but I like them none the less

LOTS more in this folder, loads got uploaded twice due to PC mess up, like I said already, they're. It the best, but some are nice...

[Niall]

Perfect!

I was about to say that it’s a very Brazo-esque photo :approve:

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Perfect!

Cheers Mark.
It took a while to correct the verticals and tweak the corners.
Think it's pretty much bob on now though

Edit: Niall, I did think that when I was editing it the other day.

Yesterday late afternoon I had time to visit my favourite look-out tower.

Great work, I don't think it's so much the camera, more the composition. Some people (like yourself) just seem to know what makes a good photo.

I like the second one, it shows a surprising dynamic range for a phone sensor.

How come you’ve sold your DSLR gear?

[Yanoo]

Not the best IQ and sharpness but I like it:

Dark tower by <-Y->, on Flickr

I have been trying to take this photo for months but it was hard to find the proper place and time when the tower of Salgo Caste is exactly in front of the Sun.

Love your photos Yanoo, beautiful work.

 

[Yanoo]

Thank you

I'll give Flickr a try later and see how I get on with it, only use photobucket as it's what I've been using for years...

Thanks for the comments, the camera in use is a D3100 all factory items and only on the auto settings... I desperately want more lenses and to learn more about how to set it up properly but time and money aren't on my side for things like that at the moment
This thread is giving me a whole massive load of inspiration though!!

Check out the stickies at the top of this section...

You don't need to spend a fortune on lenses - what ever you have - just do it better with that

 

[JamieG95]

Headed into Central London a few evenings ago, need a wider lens though, my 24-70 on a 600d did me no favours

The e90 M3 is just an epic car, so so capable and covers ground very quickly, confidently!

That last photo is amazing, full stop, never mind with a phone!

^ I want to drive on that road!

Thankyou Ben

Over the last 18 months, alongside building my car I have been helping a close friend build this. It started off as a silly idea in his garage and after much heart ache finally worked out. We wanted to keep the look and not add a fibreglass front end for the extra space so its all crammed in neatly under the bonnet.

The car below is a classic mini 1380cc, supercharged running Eaton 45 charger on injection using omex Ecu. I will throw some more photos in the General automotive section at some point but I love this photo. Its quite the sleeper, apart from the noise. Current figures are - 162bhp & 151ft lb and it weighs around 550kgs.
