Well when I get home -In London now visiting ma-I'll post some more! I was there fri 5 when the mist made it interesting.
an example of not using flashes (strobes) but relying on the natural light to get your pic, the ISO was cranked uo to 1000 speed right down to 1/30 with a wide /high/low number f stop of 9
@bradders On a Tripod Set to ISO 100, F5.6, and what ever the shutter speed it wants, use cable release if have one, if not set timer, and let it take its own photo. Try manual focus using live view if you have it, Do same again at F16 you might get star burst on the lights as long as camera is not moving at all nor tree, tbh you will get a decent photo with any camera and lens
Pretty well shot in pitch black except a small window light from the right, around 30 secs shutter speed
Air rifle and then tooth picks to prop them into realistic positions. Failing that fast shutter speed/high ISO, fast 'drive' set and good reactions.
Not mine, taken from BBC site as one of the pics off 2016 stories. Question: how do you get the moon to do this? I can never get the moon in detail even if nothing else around.
Looks to me like a bit of post processing going on there @bradders Moon like any object can show detail, if the lens is big enough and the exposure correct. Then just pop it into the pic, easy with the black background If its not been doctored then I'm like you no f'kin clue
Woburn Park: First pics I took with a DSLR. First pics I've gone out with any real intention, with any camera really... Camera, Auto Mode. with Tamron A005 70-300 mm f/4.0-5.6 LD VC Di AF USD Lens. 0 editing on most, some may have been a cropped and or minimal contrast change. Very early days for me with photography.... Sorry If I've posted these on here before.
If and when money becomes available (too many other distractions) I want to buy another lens as a general use lens. The one I will use the most. What do you guys, who know what they are doing think? > I will likely need either a 18 -135 STM lens or a canon 24-105 f/4 L ? (as recommended) I suspect I will get the last one at some point, even though it's expensive I rather have a better lens and keep it. I was given advice from some semi pro/pro photographers, when I bought my kit some time ago, (which was only for occasional use). They gave me a list of options/budget and images to look at.. I spend money on lots of other things (racing/renovating houses/bikes etc) so had/have to be realistic. I currently have a Canon 60D. - Canon EF 50 mm f/1.8 II Lens - Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM - Tamron A005 70-300 mm f/4.0-5.6 LD VC Di AF USD Lens One day I will buy EF70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM more likely a EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM and a tri pod. Think I need to start using it a bit more.
good start but may I say ? try using a narrow depth of field (try using AV setting with a low f stop, also avoid side shots of animals unless they are doing something interesting...always always try and go for eye contact and shoot in RAW and process (I recommend LIGHTROOM but others prefer PHOTOSHOP. for me the Zebra shot is the best, both animals in pic without another subject cut in half,eye contact and an interesting shape, that pic would be fantastic with some tweeks.. also Im told have the subject entering the picture rather than leaving it so for example have space for the animal to walk into and little space behind it...anyway thats what I have been taught...although all rules are there to be broken ps teach me something how do you upload your pics on here as mine always end up as attachments ??
