tlc Posted September 5, 2012 Author Share Posted September 5, 2012 (edited) That sounds awesome! Well done on the two merits. Edited September 5, 2012 by tlc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirislin Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 How is Tag now? A selfie outtake. Lovely compression thanks to the 105mm. Tag seems fine now. He's had about 6 fits that I know of in his life. They seem to be few and far between thankfully. Can you explain compression? Is it what makes the subject isolate from the background?

huga Posted September 5, 2012 Share Posted September 5, 2012 Good to hear. Compression is the thing that happens to the background with a longer lens, better for isolation.

Clicking Mad Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 some beautiful nature shots in here so far! kirislin - that dude in the first shot nice red carpet backdrop too :D and Tag @f/2.8 is nicer to my eye - just my general bias ... hope he's feeling better now! huga - nice green background "compression" this is the kind of dog shot I immediately thought of for this challenge :) Canon 50D 30mm @f/1.4 ss 1/250 ISO400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ping Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 My camera and I are still getting to know each other, but here is a photo from this morning at the beach with the kids. Fishing Sept 2012 024 by Leah 75, on Flickr Exposure 1/3200 sec Aperture f/6.3 Focal Length 270 mm ISO Speed 400 Hopefully I'll have something better to share by the end of the month :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrazyCresties Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) Another cat one to throw into the mix :D Taken this afternoon and first real editing on my new pc. The colours and brightness look muted on Flickr on my iPad, maybe a calibration is in order? Can anyone tell me how it looks if they have a calibrated monitor - cheers :) Exposure 1/320 sec Aperture f/4.0 Focal Length 60 mm ISO Speed 1600 Edited September 9, 2012 by CrazyCresties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 Ping, nice fishing shot, I'm not the best judge of settings but I think if your shutter speed was slower your boy would be not so dark. Love the blue water in the back ground. What camera do you have? CC, I'm viewing on my iPad and it looks great, love the Bokeh balls! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ping Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Thanks tlc :) I'm really only at the stage ATM where I can adjust the ISO and Av or ISO and SS. I can't manage to do them all at once yet I'm using a 60D, though I am loving editing software! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossumCorner Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 Id love to see an example of the photo stack, .... This link is a thread including tutorial, the Brit macro photographer was doing photo stacking before most people had heard of it, he does fabulous work, if he has a Flickr gallery still there would be a link to it somewhere - the "tutorial" has various Photoshop generations included. http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=61316 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tlc Posted September 9, 2012 Author Share Posted September 9, 2012 Thanks PC, I'll have a look. Ping, try sticking with one method till you feel comfortable and happy with the pictures. AV is good place to start. If you are able get yourself a copy of understanding exposure, Snook put me onto it and it's great for learning how it all works.

Juddabug Whippets Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 CC this looks fantastic on my iPad, gorgeous bokkeh and the kitty colours are stunning! Siamese?

CrazyCresties Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 (edited) Thanks tlc and MnDM, yup she's our evil Siamesey who rules the house :laugh: I was pleased with this seeing as it was iso1600, it needed very little sharpening and just some noise reduction in LR. I know the colours should look 'richer' though, it may be uploading to Flickr that's doing it - I'll have to experiment :) Edited September 13, 2012 by CrazyCresties Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PossumCorner Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Blown in by the big wind the other night - onto the vacant block next door. (Same big wind that disappeared two of my guinea fowl). Sean the Sheep is pretty distressed, and sort of hangs out with my ponies over the fence for company.
