Tempus Fugit Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 Here's a few from today and a couple from yesterday: reminds me of one of my Dad's from about 60 years ago (off a colour 720 slide) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cret Posted February 22, 2011 Share Posted February 22, 2011 That's interesting as that pic wasn't one I'd seen via other people having done pics there etc. Can see from your slide that it must have been taken from either up in a house, or the main road past the Bay View or something like that rather than down on the shore. Love your photos Cret, I don't think there's a bad one among them. Bastard. Awwww thanks. Not often I get complimented like that. And thanks for saying the pics are good too.

I've always taken it to have been taken from the bedroom window of the Police station, over the top of the little shoe shop (Miss Newton's), which I think had a lower roof than the house to the right (Mrs Clemenson ?) with the chimneypots you can see From google maps satellite view and the line-up of the breakwater and the inner pier lighthouse lines up that way anyway. Dad had a Kodak 620, pull out bellows, the film was Dufaycolor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cret Posted February 23, 2011 Share Posted February 23, 2011 Ahh - you've give it much more consideration then I have then, I was just guesstimating, based on what I'd expect to be above where I was. Thinking about it, I was 50-100 yards towards the port from the Carrick, so I think you're about right there. I don't know much about proper old cameras I'm afraid. Am kind of a heathen really I suppose. I do have a Shew one of my Grandmother's though which is from 1906 or something though, which is a bellows one made of wood & aluminium & brass, with a Bausch & Lombe shutter (or something like that!).

Bananaman Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I was out and about too this weekend. Walk on the beach after a rather excellent Sunday Lunch at the pub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cret Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Oooh - is that tilt shift you've done there? And, do you need a special lens to do that? Fancy trying it but not got round to looking it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theambo Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Cret, great pics looking out towards the chickens, I was down by Pooyl Vaaish earlier on the bike and kicking myself for not having a camera with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cret Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 Cheers bud. Really want to redo one of those to try and get the full sun right behind the lighthouse as the weather is meant to be good this week, just not sure if I can arrange it to get down there after work in good time. And ideally I'd have a 1.4x or 2x thingy for my 70-200, but never mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cret Posted March 1, 2011 Share Posted March 1, 2011 Well, I tried again just 48 hours later and the sun had already moved way further round, so that I couldn't do the shot I wanted. Guess from that spot at least it's a one day a year chance! Here's what I got tonight: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digga Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Not sure if i like the effect but give it a try anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digga Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 A good Friend took this on with a brand new compact camera having unboxed it just 20 mins earlier quoting she did not have a clue what any of the setting were, just a lucky shot on a cold winters morning i suppose.... and now with added tiltshift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevster Posted March 2, 2011 Share Posted March 2, 2011 Not the best start images to do tilt shift on Digga... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cret Posted March 3, 2011 Share Posted March 3, 2011 I was going to have a play at that stuff but I've realised most of my stuff (landscapes) isn't really suitable. Bah. So in the meantime, here's tonight's sunset instead. These are actually untouched off the camera apart from cropping of the image. They're underexposures to get the sun like this, hence the darkness to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
