More 35mm

My first contribution here, these were taken at Magnetic Island, QLD, Australia, our favourite beach holiday location. Yes the water is like a warm bath tub

Looking forward to Skye. Trying to decide if I need a new lens beforehand though.

 

[Christopher.]

Loving it at the moment. Used it pretty much all day for this - https://www.flickr.com/photos/100444154@N05/albums/72157664467484781

Its a Nikon Nikkor 35mm 1:1.8G was only £149. Will be going out later with it again to get some others and test it out fully.

lovely that and i'm sure it will look cool in Black & White

Nice clear skies last night. One shot of a timelapse, straight off the camera to my phone, no editing.

Another from the same night as the above shot.

And I picked up a Sigma 70-200 f2.8 for a steal the other day, ended up going to Knowsley safari park today with the wife and little one. Pretty tricky shooting from the car window. Came out OK though IMO.

Sky looks a bit too 'shopped, is it?

I used a filter (if that's the right word) from the app Snapseed. I wasn't sure if it made it look too 'grainy'

Very grainy and the colours are too OTT in the sky - but it can be easily sussed.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Drama filter from Snapseed? Can be very easy to overdo.

That first picture is absolutely amazing. Been staring at it for a good 5 minutes.

Cheers.
I've been looking at it again tonight and I need to make some more lens corrections to remove some more distortion of the house and remove the stray branches on the left.

Your last few have been on top form mate! Love that Rhino shot!

I took a snap of the cat as my poor attempt at a Star Trail annoyed me (battery went after 32 shots and half of which the clouds had appeared)

I toned down the colours in it and really liked the effect.

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Cheers Ant.
Always make sure you have your battery full charged. I need to remember to just leave my camera instead of looking at an image half way through a star trial/timelapse. Creates a gap which then looks s**t.

That's the one, it was the number 2 setting. Admittedly you can adjust it up or down the scale but left it as it is.

Saw a post on fstoppers.com about how to lightpaint cars with the (imo) overly expensive Westcott Icelight and was quite impressed. So I built myself a softbox with cardboard and paper for my LED Lenser P7R and wanted to see whether I can still achieve a good result with this cheap setup. Think it turned out quite well.

I love light painting

Folly Farm, one of the only shots that turned out 'okay' for the day.

 

[SimpleJoee]

I tell a lie. This one on the way home came out pretty well, lol.

Sunrise from the other morning.


Golden morning by Aaron, on Flickr

Nearly time to go to Skye. Pretty excited, just hope there is some decent weather!

 

[SimpleJoee]

Whats the story behind this one?! lol

On our way back from Folly Farm, me and the Mrs hit traffic and one lane was closed off. Saw a 3 series with lights flashing so thought 'oh get the camera setup'! As I got closer I saw a woman being searched, too good an opportunity to miss.

I tested my new lens this afternoon:

Loving that, nice punch of colour without overdoing it

Thought I'd join in on this as I'm relatively new to the forum! Shot last September, hunting the milky way!

 

[Ay Ay Ron]

Very nice that. Where is it?
Can't wait until next month when the good bit starts coming back to view.

Thanks! Shot in Jersey in the Channel Islands, get some pretty clear skies compared to most there but still got a decent amount of light pollution unfortunately.
