[James.f]

Popped in to Currys today to have a gander round until a member off staff tried to sell me loads ov utter crap, managed to get rid ov her by sayin i wanted the LG 50" tv went to the camera place and so the Fujifilm Finepix on offer, down from £150 to £90, so i took it

since it was my first proper camera i had to fiddle around with it at home, took some pics but didnt get any good 1's, until i read on here about photography..

here are some i took today..

Any advice il be greatful for as im only a Noob lol, Ta

 

[AhmedRSi]

Nice pics, anymore of your motor? is that a chequered roof i spot?

 

[Bluebeard]

I know absolutely nothing about cameras or photography....

But they look awesome!

 

[Clart]

Are they straight from the camera? If not the PP looks a bit OTT for me.

 

[James.f]

Ta,

^ same Daniel, i avnt got the slight clue, only the HDR way which i used jungle_jim's guide on here, which makes the photos much better

& ye fella, chequerd roof il try and get some tommorow, needs a damm good clean tbh,

 

[James.f]

no,wel some, i used jungle_jims guide with HDR

PP ?

 

[Fletcher]

Nice, a little bit over edited though imo.

 

[Clart]

post processing. If thats the look you are going for then fair enough. I would prefer to see none HDR versions. IMO of course!

 

[James.f]

Ah right i get ya,

today is the first time iv actualy gone out and taken pics like these, but though to myself il spruce some up using HDR, which on the Car & boat looks abit as you say OTT, but i just need to play around with settings etc and it should be fine, i hope

But the picture of our car is straigh from the camera, no fiddle atall

ERM, I am no expert but #1 is over exposed and the rest just look over saturated?
Sorry to be so negative!

I was thinking the same TBH. Looks like the camera is taking the photo's with a +Vivid colour setting on. Either that or the photo editing afterwards is too much. Good picture subjects but just too much saturation.

 

[James.f]

Its ok BobRTE iv only had it today so im gettin to terms using it etc

Cheers Andi, the boat 1 looks way out to me, but i just loved it because the boat was about 1/2 mile out in sea and coming in, so was just a good oppurtinity to snap it up

Ta for the Comments fellas,

Refrain from using photoshop to that extent. Practice at getting the pictures looking good WITHOUT photoshop, then you can use PS to enhance your pics a bit.

 

[James.f]

didnt use photoshop, used Dynamic Photo, but ye im goin to try and just use the camera for now, but do the odd pics in HDR

 

[Alex H]

Too much ISO on the first pic? Overexposed and very grainy. Otherwise some really good composition, tone down the PPing slightly

 

[Keith185]

Looked at the last pic twice, "mmm that looks familiar?"

Car looks good.

 

[James.f]

Haha Menai Bridge

Keith did i pass you today ? wel this afternoon, u were coming out of caernarfon towards bangor ?

 

[Brown.]

i like you're style.... very HDR-esque.... one of your car is amazingly moody especially with the yellow lines drawing your eye to the car (if you actually intended that ) ..... well done imo

...............who did you're roof ?

 

[jesus]

Nice shots, any more pics of the Clio?

 

[James.f]

^ cheers fella

no i didnt intend that atall, just noticed now after you said cheers,

Gwynedd signs in Bangor, charged £50, as he had never done it before, their vinyl, so i can remove them whenever i want

Il wash the car tommorow and will get some more depending on weather
