A thread with photos and things.

Inspirational for me, as a beginner photographer. The message I get from this is never giving up and taking your camera everywhere. I'm just finding it hard to get into a routine with work, especially on my days off it's so tempting to stick my feet up for the day. I should just go taking photos straight after work.

Know that feeling I used to take my camera to work but given the weather we get half the year it really isn't something I tended to do for long

Once Spring rolls around I'll be back out there during the early hours before Sunrise getting the still waters of the coast - That part of photography never got boring as the colours were always shaded differently and the atmosphere so mellow.

Yeah my camera is always in the bag I take to work with two lenses. It sits in there for the majority of the time lately but still worth it in case an opportunity presents itself

The light will be around for long enough soon for some after work fun too but ultimately you can't use your camera if you don't have it hehe.

The Golden Hour is upon us, Phal

Some of my shifts already finish at 1630 so I can pop out quickly after those if the weather is nice along the seafront

I even got a quick few shots off just after I finished work at 1800 this week as there was enough orange left in the sky to make it worthwhile!

Stupid winter is almost finally over! yay

lol

And continuing on, a selection from a registry only shoot from today.

Oh and this old thing

Lovely sunset, shame about that German noise polluter spoiling it though.

BananaDunka · 22 Mar 2015 at 12:07

You take that back!

Tysonator · 24 Mar 2015 at 13:23

Some really good shots and taken with some thought.

Really well done

BananaDunka · 24 Mar 2015 at 19:02

Thanks Tysonator

I look back at some of my shots of recent years and think "How did I manage that? can I do better? Will the opportunity ever come again?" - I don't know, I guess this is what makes our interest so much fun, the end result can end up being something totally different sometimes!

I've gone out to shoot a session numerous times only to come back with stuff I don't really feel is worthy of being uploaded but then I end up using it as a learning tool of sorts to better it next time :cool:

A few new from this week.

Number 2 is a new try, softer than my usual. I think it works for that shot specifically but it's not something I use often, only when a frame works well enough with it!

Photography has so many different takes on the same genre depending upon what look you require from the subject matter.
The way I see it every day is a school day !

Moving on to a wedding from the weekend, going by today's weather and light levels, we got lucky!

jonneymendoza · 18 May 2015 at 12:17

Phate · 18 May 2015 at 12:34

The 2nd one if I was feeling very generous but otherwise you can't see their faces. (barely half the face in the first one) - That doesn't warrant a pass from me

I can clearly see where Robbie is going (esp with the 2nd shot) but it's just too much distortion for it to be a pass.

BananaDunka · 18 May 2015 at 13:11

Same with me too and some other photo mates too based on somewhat recent discussions!

But I kept them because they still work as photographs and are of /a moment/ of that day, even if they’re not the sharpest/technical of shots
