Cape of Good Hope, South Africa.

Thanks pal! We stayed at a campsite in Ullswater called "Park Foot" which is where I got the long exposure of the stream we visited a few places there too that were close by such as "Aira Force" loads of photo opportunities around, it's all post card material! Was very glad I got the camera in time!

 

[Mr Burns]

Scrap that last one, I think I'm actually quite pleased with this one...

I don't like mushy flower pics but I kinda like this photo:

ISS pass last night. 12x15 second exposures, stacked. I then removed the star trails that occurred as they were distracting from the satellite.

Like the Ape at the Cape Johnny.
A nice spring shot there Yanoo.

Heres one from a holiday last week.

Thank you.
I like the bluish shade of this pic and the visible underwater stones. Did you use CPL?

Off to go and try to find some Aurora now. I hope the next post in here will be something from tonight!

With the first shot i had problems i think with the Auto Focus on the kit lens so put it in Manual and focused it on the Lego figure and wanted the elephant in focus too but the flowers out of focus. After getting home and looked i think the elephant should of been the focus point or should of re positioned the guy a little more? Over all is it a good shot?

I'm back at the photography class now in the Advanced class and this weeks homework is getting 4 pictures of "Small Landscapes"

The 2nd one is very spectacular.

Cheers Yanoo.

Well, there wasn't any aurora but I did set up a couple of cameras for a time lapse. This is the last frame of the night taken with my 6D with 17-35 at 2.8.

Cheers Yanoo. No CPL, just ND filters and a bit of work in Lightroom.

Some great lines in the sky on that lighthouse shot Aaron.

How do i make these pics smaller? There No6 medium when i convert them to JEPEG

 

[Aaron..]

You're best just linking them from Flickr, then choose the 500x800 or so size.

Quite like this .. Sorry for FB quality doesn't really do how sharp it is justice.

 

[Aaron..]

Went for a drive through some of North Wales' best roads last night checking out some spots for night time photography. Climbed up a small rock face to get this view. I'll definitely be back here soon enough!

Durham City B&amp;W by MarkGeddes7, on Flickr
Second attempt at this shot, had to get through big metal fences to get this shot as it was cornered off to public. Naughty me lol. Went here yesterday but didn't take tripod, not sure if i got the lighting right as the sun was going down. I'm happy with it plus a bit cloud too. Any info on making it better?

 

[Aaron..]

I like that. Not much you can do about the debris on the river area but it would be nice if that was clear.
Try a lens correct to bring the verticals of the tower a bit straighter, maybe-5 ish (I think) min lightroom if you have it.

I'm happy with it but feel could be better, I wasn't sure if it was the best time of day taking the shot, was taken around 19:00. I did like the sun on the cathedral but not much on the fulling mill. Yeah I did notice the towers weren't straight I did try changing the zoom but couldn't get a decent composure. Nah I don't have Lightroom just Photoshop Elements 11

 

[Tonys]

I like it mate, some amazing light shining on it.

 

[v15ben]

Yep, incredible light on the cathedral in that one!

 

[Geddes]

Yeah a few people were looking at light on it too on the path I was on. Was nice.

Been thinking about starting to try and do some sun set shots any advice on settings and set up? There is a nice spot about 10 minutes away from here a nice valley see for miles, was thinking of a tree as a main focus point
