the "i'm proud of this picture i took" thread #3

this would have been awesome, with different tonality and it's also slanted...

 

It's actually not slanted, it was taken on a slope so the horse for example is facing slightly uphill. Same as the wooden fence in the background is sort of climbing up towards the right hand side of the picture and the tree on the right side is leaning slightly to the left, all of wich sort of creates the feel that its slanted.

As for the tonality, furry muff. I played with a variety of alternatives, both b&w and colour and in the end i landed on this one, i was trying to achieve a sort of a dreamy look and i thought it worked out ok and i'm personally happy with the end result so we're simply going to have to agree to disagree ie. works for some, not for others.

I appreciate the feedback though.

 

what's CBD? haha

 

oh sorry central business district lol

 

ah gotcha

i'd love to visit australia, but will be sorta hard to go anywhere else in the next few years.
but let's get back on topic haha.

 

I have posted this before, but adjusted it slightly...

 

Oh my bad, I thought there was a lake/river in the background and I was wrong, it's a fence lol. Fair play, nice shot still, I would love to see a bit more of the tree. Do you have the original RAW file? I'd love to have a go at it!

 

I know its not slanted per say but I get what he's saying. Even if its on a hill the background shows that same angle, so the human eye for someone not knowing of the terrain is drawn straight to the tree horizon line which is slanted..I like the photo, but sometimes we must photoshop tilt things that can be distractions, and this one's an easy fix. You probably want a straight horizontal line from the rear and front of the horse's feet, or the background fence line to be straight.

Anyway, this is something REALLY minor, but sometimes its the minor things that can detract more than a major thing (like a naked guy streaking in the background).

I like the horse photos keep them coming.

 

My first attempt at a long-exposure nighttime outdoor shot...and reflective as well:

 

How long was the exposure time on this.? Great picture by the way.

 

EXIF says 30s

And yes, its a nice pic

 

Great picture. Would've been even nicer if the foliage in the foreground had been all around the picture, more less like a frame but it's very nice the way it is. I assume you used a star filter. What was the brand and what's your opinion on it?? I just want to buy one and don't have any clue if it's worth money and which one to choose.

 

My cousins First Holy Communion:

 

Thanks, guys - I was excited about the way that shot came out. Yes the exposure was 30 seconds at an ISO of 200, and aperture was f/8.

Captain Oats: No filter was used. The lens was a Canon ef-s 15-85mm.

Funny, since I got my dslr I find myself "scouting" out locations. "Ooooh, I wanna come back at night and shoot that." or "That's gonna look great when the light is better."

I may need professional help. :wanker:

 

been trying to get a decent pic of a dog running but just aint that easy with a black thing lol... this was taken late at night and best ive got as of yet, i took me ages to find a good ish path as well

 

Looks ok to me Damien and the path is spot on,where was this taken?

 

its taken near Sawley Marina at long eaton, nottingham

 

Its not easy Damien, and if it wasnt so out of focus you could have cropped in quite a bit to put it into the lower third.
Just keep on at it.
With dogs (especially my Springer) you just dont know where they are gonna go and you get LOADS of wasted ones to the one or two decent ones.
Its more difficult than photographing motorsport.

 

Last night at the pub trying out my 17-70 in "real world" situations, quite pleased with it
