Bananaman Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Agghhhh! I tried not to post in here because of the stupid snobbery that goes with photography, but I wanted to share a sunset with you. Sorry. Any way, trying to get my boy into a spot of twitching - and I've learned something alongside teaching him. I've never heard of the Black tailed Godwit until we looked it up. Happy days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cret Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Not really tried this sort of photo in the past so I was fairly pleased with this one when I did it the other evening: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tribz Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Nice pic cret. Did you blur out the green to accentuate the bee? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cret Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 Sort of accidentally. I was using my 50mm F1.8 lens and had it stopped down to 1.8 so I could get a shot of the foxglove that would stand out, then the bee appeared from inside the flower and I got a few shots whilst it messed around, and as it turns out the settings I was using made the most of the shot.

Cret Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 Here are some efforts from the last couple of nights. I did bracketed exposures on a tripod for (most of) these so that all the colours and tones could be captured, but I have done some vibrance & saturation tweaks in some cases as well, perhaps not as much as some people might imagine though. I realise that some people have a strong dislike for these sort of pics, but I like them. Some more than others, ie one of the hango hill ones looks a bit too 'in yer face' I think but I'm undecided. The one with the car lights was awkward. I didn't really want them but it's a busy road and with 3 separate long exposures to get the pic it was tricky not to get them. I could have been more patient and got a shot without, but I couldn't be @rsed. This is sort of just experimentation really, and practise at doing landscapes in low light. Hope someone will enjoy them anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cret Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Thanks pal. I'm very new to doing much other than family snaps etc and plain landscapes. I have an idea in my head as to the kind of scenes that I'd like to have good enough to print and hang on my walls eventually, but I have a gap in ability that I'm trying to slowly close to get towards what I want. So I'm doing lots of experimenting to find out what's what. That and I have to use my camera shedloads after just spending a bucketload on a new lens that I shouldn't really have! Here's one or two from the other night. First effort at doing light trails and stuff. Traffic was very infrequent so sadly didn't get anywhere near what I was hoping for but it's all practise. Here's a failed effort where I tried to overlay a few but it just looks a bit wrong really: Then whilst I was bored waiting for cars I remembered there was a torch in the car, and things like this got experimented with due to two childish & puerile minds at work: I'll spare you all the light painting stuff that went on from here in.....
