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

[Geddes]

Try going back to the same place when the sun is a lot lower and better light.

Here's a video, the guy is great on photoshop

My most successful pic on Flickr so far. I'm a bit proud to hit 50'000 views on a photo just a little less than a year of photographing :blush:

Love that last one! They look like paintings... mad style.

 

[CrippsCorner]

Thanks mate - yep, was taken with the 50mm F1.8 - such a good lens for the price.

I need to bite the bullet on a new lens tbh, I've been so slack recently... need something to get me interested again!

Is a 50mm good for car photography too? That's what I'm after really, just a good depth of field for that kind of stuff. Can anyone recommend me one? For a Nikon D3200. Thanks!

Also think I need a polarizing filter?

great pics on this page, nice close of the bird just above fills up the frame nicely and great colours on the boats and i think the brids on the top of the pic could be mistaken for dirt , personal preference to brush them out or leave them in, i'd of gotten rid of the really small ones

Some of shots from that last couple of days


Moon - Halo? by Aaron, on Flickr
Turns out it was just refraction from the 14mm samyang lens and no astro phenomenon!

Thanks for the feedback! I hadn't really paid much attention to the birds before but now you say it, it makes loads of sense!
I am really liking my new lens, I just seem to be able to get much better pictures with it.

Don't know if this is the right thread to be putting this in but hey ho...

Can anybody recommend a good quality camera for family use with a budget of £150? IPhone camera is very poor and when uploading to the computer its all fuzzy [emoji36]

Winter is finally here

Love that last shot!
I'm gutted that the snow has fallen in time for me to start me shift at work. Hopefully there will be some left when I'm on my off shift.

 

[Geddes]

I agree the last one is really nice

 

[Dredz06]

Not the sharpest of pictures but timed this one quite well I think

 

[nius02]

Thanks @Geddes & @Aaron..
Really loving my new Tokina 11-20mm lense. Makes shots like these finally possible after struggling one year with the kit lense

Wrong thread.. There are others about cameras etc.. But do you have a case on the phone or is the lens dirty...?

Odd that it presumably looks OK on the phone but no good on the computer...

I have not posted for weeks... I have lost in a fairy forest.

An old photo I had forgotten about, quite like the way this one looks.

Id say you're doing something wrong if they are fuzzy. The iPhone camera (at least the iPhone 6) is a very good camera for a phone and is far better than the digital camera I have from a few years ago.

Upload an example of one of the photos so we can see what you are getting.

 

[BGEarles]

@TheEvilGiraffe - Thanks i will search for the appropriate thread [emoji4]

@Chrisgti6 - Its an iPhone 5, in all honesty i think the camera is buggered, sometimes it'll focus, most of the time it doesn't & stays blurred.

This thread never fails to amaze me. Always loads of fantastic new photos in here.

Beautifuly framed that, the plank of wood on the bottom right, leading the eye of the nice pond to the trees and the nice soft sun light poking through. Great shot

One more of the snowy winter wonderland

Last night. There is a very faint sign of aurora. This was taken after I'd spent an hour getting a timelapse of the aurora on the coast.
I have a load to edit but I forgot my laptop charger this morning!

In Pembrokeshire at the moment- Abysmal weather but managed to get a few shots this week.

Need to remove the dust spots off this when I get back (and probably the birds too)

Spent a nice weekend in a very old house in the swiss Alps. Took a few pics inside as the weather could have been a bit better.
My favourite so far:

Found this pic on my HDD. I took it 2 years ago, almost forgot it.

was really hard to get a decent long exposure with the bright sun and snow

A couple from me.

And a new style which I want to do more with. Time slice, which is a number of images stacked and then a slice from each frame kept. Would work better over a longer time (probably a few hours going from day to night) but I tried it with a few shots of the above lighthouse. This was 20 shots iirc.

Penmon Time Slice by Aaron, on Flickr

And another from an old star trail set. Cocked i'l a bit. 80 shots for this one.

[nius02]

@Aaron.. I think sunset to blue hour could work quite well in a time slice. that wouldn't even take too long

My first Milky Way shot. Bad thing: there's an oil refinery nearby hence there's too much light to properly see the milky way. Good thing: It illuminates the foreground

Wineyard by N.Oberson, auf Flickr

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Cheers @nius02
It's something I'll be trying on my next sat of days off.

You should get a better milky way shot in a few months when more of it is visible in the northern hemisphere.

Been playing around with my new 35mm

My first attempt at photographing the ISS. Lots of light pollution as was taken from my back garden.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Good first effort.
What did you use? I see there's a lot of shake/movement in the trail of the ISS.

 

[Lou]

Good first effort.

Sony A58, 18mm, 30 second exposure at f5 ISO400.
Shake is more than likely due to tripod standing on stones in the garden and me moving behind it.
Will try again tonight if it's clear.

 

[Scrooge]

Need to get out with my camera more, I still want a new one.
