good result but agree with others, looks a bit 'shopped tbh. this is where that tilt-shift lens would come in handy

I thought it was using a tiltshift lens at 1st, interesting effect.

How can you replicate the bright image against a near black background effect in daylight?
- a la swan picture.
I've did it once before somehow, but no idea - even after looking at the EXIF.

underexpose the ambient and add light ie. flash

Well with mine there was no flash, I was using centre-weighted metering and the background water was quite dark, then in when converting from RAW I slightly increased the blacks and the recovery to blacked the background and prevent the top of the swan's head being over-exposed too much, however the finished jpeg shown here is just about how it came out.

Using fill in flash is usually the best way to do it though, although using spot metering/centre-weighted metering can also produce these results

nice, but with ISO100, you could have gone slower still

its that time of year again

Yes we had our first rally last week but I missed it unfortunately. (working).

Taken at the Oxford Botanical Gardens (and Christchurch College):






Quite large (sorry!) - Trying out my 28-70mm 2.8, nice lens to mess around with - manual focus is a bit tricky, shame the focus ring isn't as damped as the zoom.

I've finally started to get some of my pics online, so I'll drop a couple in here

Beautiful images fellas.

@ Whiternoise - I like the first macro of the prickly things. Might be an idea to crop it so they run through the center, and are on a horizonal line with each other? I love the last one of the statue, the colours of the sunset are lovely, and I like the frozen water at the statues feet Would've been cool to get some more of the fountain in too.

@ Stoo - Gald you managed to, the first show is simply beautiful! Lovely colours, nice composition

@ CMC - Looks like a cool station, love how the arch has windows!

@ Kalniel - Wow! Is that from a P&S camera? It's gorgeous.
