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

[GeordieClioDriver]

I did set up a custom white balance, its was a bit of trial and error cus tbh i didnt know what i was doing lol

I found that taking an exposure and using that image with the green cast as the custom white balance worked better than using a lower kelvin number... but the "auto colour" on photo shop worked a treat!

That is an amazing shot, Scott!

Here is one of mine from a random drive yesterday:

Scott, I like that but it looks a bit unrealistic to me. A mate of mine does lots of that type of shot, I think because I see them all the time (lots of copycats over here when they see this guys shots) that I am fed up with them now.

No way could I produce anything like that though.

 

[Brazo]

The whole sea and rock, long exposure thing is overdone by togs but I can't help but like them

 

[pandp]

Not to everyones taste but i do quite like it

 

[bully]

Clean the bike, get rid of number and L plate or shop the no plate to white and black? reposition bike in clean snow. Otherwise it makes quite a nice shot with the black bike.

Cheers guys. I wouldn't say its my best or favourite mind.

Cheers for the comment mate. I guess I can see where you say it looks unrealistic. It's all practice for me and most pictures these days are never a true reflection of whats in front of you. I'm just trying to add more strings to my bow.

Some pictures from the Sports Relief Mile in Birmingham today (soz for the watermark, the images are for sale elsewhere so it is a must)...

All pics taken with my new D7000, and it is definitely worth the purchase, an excellent camera!!

A kid in mid flight coming through to finish...

Lovely, Lovely Suzi Perry (and trying not to get the sun too much into the shot!)...

Jean Martyn from Britain's Got Talent...

These girls completed the 6 mile run!!

Lee on the Solent Sunset by Liam J Robinson, on Flickr

Best one from the last set of photos i took but more to come. Comments welcome!

 

[Brazo]

I like it Liam, perhaps if the figures were both upright, maybe walking it would add more but the simplicity is lovely.

 

[Nickson]

Went down the beach tonight and had a play with the Nex-3!

 

[v15ben]

Lots of cracking sunsets recently it seems.
Really like that darts shot too!

I went for an unplanned offroad session in the Matiz the other day!

Yes mate

converse lol, all the best men had them too, each a different colour

I actually quite like that idea lol. I'm not a Converse person but it's quite a cool touch as i guess it's something personal for them. Screw tradition.

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

I really need to get out with the SLR and not my phone

Nice sunset though

 

[ipodsandguns]

Feeling the trick more then the pic really.

Really lacks a rim light. Re-shoot soon.

 

[v15ben]

Really like that shot, Dan.
Even with a phone it came out pretty damn well!
