Quite like that last one although I'd try cutting that wall out and probably that guy just above it too and then chop about the same proportion out of the sky.

Love the last picture of Brighton sunset

Went for a walk over the Forth Road Bridge today and took a few snaps along the way:

As before constructive criticism is always appreciated please.

The first and last photo are exposed for the sky, making nearly everything else severely underexposed. For that sort of shot, you are best of either using a graduated neutral density filter to "tame" the sky, or take multiple shots at different exposure settings and perform a HDR shot instead. If you have photoshop or gimp, you could try the following (instead of HDR)

Create a duplicate layer (so you have two identical photographs) and set the layer type to "overlay". On the duplicated layer, use desaturate to basically turn it into a black and white image, then invert the image (swopping blacks and whites around) and then use a guassian blur on it (set at about 15-20).

That will lighten the darkest parts of your photo whilst darkening the brightest.

Hi ISO Spider


Garden Spider outside the kitchen window this afternoon by Mark-Hobbs Photographic Delights, on Flickr

 

[James J]

great pro tip

Its not of my making, but I've used it for a long while now. Its the only reason I have GIMP installed on my macbook lol.

 

[GTRacer]

Testing out my new lens (Fuji 18/2), the AF isn't as bad as some people make it out to be - it's about as fast as my Hexar AF. Not nearly as reliable though, but the Hexar is probably the best camera I've ever used for reliable AF since it uses an IR beam system so it locks on in complete darkness. Going to be doing some street work with it tomorrow.

This the same one you showed me the other day? Looks similar!

The man walking across makes it

 

[King Damager]

Yeah, I saw him approaching and ran to get that shot xD

His pose makes it all the better I feel suits the mood. Would have preferred if I could have been more central in the road, but to be fair, this way he fits in to rules of thirds nicely in the framing...

But yeah, was the one I showed you the other day, didnt realise how fantastic it was in b&w at that point though, the fog really makes the lighting in b&w work I feel!

The texture on the ground from the light being kicked off is what finishes it off.

 

[GTRacer]

The light, fog and texture are great, it just that the timing is off - you should have released the shutter just as he was about to put his leading foot down. Although if the figure didn't have any motion blur then it'd resemble a Gregory Crewdson shot.

 

[King Damager]

Why did you have to tell me that I hadn't really thought about timing, the running did indeed mean it was a hope I could get it shot!

No, it's certainly true though

You'll suss it with time, it all comes automatically and becomes second nature /most/ days
