Not a stunning picture, I admit, but not a view of Oxford that you see very often. This was taken from the roof of the hospital. Just a pity the main architecture in the middle of town is nearly always either covered in scaffolding or has a crane nearby.

Architecture - out of rock, these set of caves have lasted many wars.

It was my first day with my 70d so I had a bit of a walkaround. I ended up not too far from the house ready for the sunset as I thought this view would be decent.

These are all single exposures and I kinda wish I'd had my tripod for a few HDRs too. I've boosted the blacks/shadows on one shot to see what it's like. It's a bit noisy obviously but interesting to see what can be recovered.

Here's a few different shots

Some images i shot at Portland

D.P. · 29 Aug 2013 at 17:26

The first one is great, very dramatic and dynamic. Pitty about the people (I would be tempted to removed them).

Genoma · 29 Aug 2013 at 18:15

I really like the second one, but I agree with DP, I would be tempted to remove the people in PS.

shaggyd · 29 Aug 2013 at 19:46

my favourite is the last one, lovely, fluid motion captured in the waves that are accented by the flow in the cloud cover.

Cheers D.P, thanks for the comments. I took a set of shot of this scene so I think I have some without the people. I picked this one to post as I felt the people gave it some scale.

2nd photograph of 2013

just a quick grab shot during a coffee break - need to get my finger out as I've been asked to do a talk at Perth Camera Club next season.

Anyway, this is the Isle of May @200mm through the Haar on a fairly bleak afternoon. Preferred the 3:2 aspect ratio over a pano crop to enhance the sense of isolation, albeit introducing a lot of white space..

Awesome, as always.

Isle of Eigg,

Just about to start shooting some landscape on my Sinar 5x4

Do you use ND grads ?

Stunning shots btw

Heh - there's some good stuff in here! no putting anyone to shame!

I actually spent about 3 hours walking up and down the beach looking for EXACTLY the right patterns in the sand, so sad lol.

aha! a fellow LF photographer, we're pretty rare these days 8)

Yes - I have a full set of Lee filters, they're a pain because each one is made to order but they're worth it, because they're the only filters (that I know about) which are totally neutral and don't introduce any casts.

I mostly use a 0.9 hard grad (3 stops) but sometimes I use a 0.9 AND a 0.3 to balance the exposure, Velvia 50 has such rubbish latitude.
