Quite liked this one I took yesterday.

How did you achieve the lighting on the girl in this one?

wtf have you done to that cat? Please tell me it doesn't look like that normally..

Haha, no he doesn't

He went to the groomers to get shaved as he can't groom himself.

We usually do it twice a year. :eek:

Would like to say it was some kind of complicated lighting set up, but it was just using my built in flash.

Oh right looks like a reflective sheet was used, very well exposed!

NvidiaDan · 24 Jun 2010 at 22:58

Thanks

Off topic I know but, my compact doesn't have a rule of 3rds grid. I guess some don't come with one as standard?

Just a quick visit and I took this panorama whilst I was waiting for my train to arrive at london bridge. Came out better than I hoped it would. Taken with 5dmk2

What do you do when you wake up at 3am? Cycle to the Humber Bridge was what I did!

Can't remember if I've posted this one.

Friendly little chap.

I've had a couple of frustrating early morning adventures in ISO800/f5.6/ugly-post-processing land. This darned hobby can be too addictive... my neck's sore from staring upwards. :-)

I'm supposed to be going to Biggin Hill airshow tomorrow, but what I really want to do is go out again and try to catch this lot before they all leave the nest. I can't help feeling there's a halfway decent entry to the Countryfile calendar competition waiting to be taken! None of these are sharp enough at decent resolutions. :-(

More here, mostly "so near and yet so far" shots...

Had nothing to do today. So decided to do a quick high-ISO test.

ISO3200 on a six year old camera. No NR. SOOC Jpeg+Levels+Resize.

Mmm hairdryer and shopping bags...

The second office...

- inspirational stuff I know

Looks okay apart from the banding in the darkest stop or so of tones.

See how boring today has been?

Experimenting with my new umbrella with my Metz 48 AF-1.
Not a lot to experiment with as I'm alone at home, so a self portrait is as good as it gets...

Papa, that is a sweet shot! Very nice reflection off the placid water, post-process is spot on with that mist in the background! Well done!

HDR or just other processing? Lighting's great.

Hint of Gordon Freeman here with the glasses.

Gear used to take the photo;

Canon reclining garden chair tripod.
Pair of binoculars.
Panasonic Lumix TZ3

Took ages to get a decent shot and keep the binoculars and camera steady and keep the lens inside the eye piece. o.O
