Photo-a-day

Your shots are technically decent josh, but they're not screaming at me. Maybe it's time to try some techniques such as panning to make them jump out a bit more.

Here's the end of the great wall at Jiayuguan:

cool thanks for the suggestion. i think photoshopped messed up some of those pics. let me try and upload an original pic.

edit: here are some





are their any better then the photoshopped ones?

Lee, looks like you need to practice AF on fast moving jets, but well done on capturing 2 aircraft at the same time

Cheers bobster, but yeah that was the first airshow I tried to capture. Had quite a few problems with the lens hunting now and again, tried manual focus at one point, but I'm sure you can guess how that went. They looked 'arty' was one comment

I only borrowed the lens though, it was the 70-300mm IS USM. Not sure if I'd actually buy it, tbh.

Have you thought about getting one of these?

use the focal dots to align with something vertical or horizontal..

Might crop the top off, to the top of the window/roof bit. What do you think?

Went to the Paris airshow at the weekend, this is one of many shots that I've taken, but it's probably going to be the end of the week till I'm sorted through and processed the ones I like the most. Taking snaps of the eurofighter while in the air really tests your panning and the autofocus of your camera.

Love this I've always found the Typhoon hard to shoot in the air, being fast and grey is hard on my 450D. I was fairly pleased with this from Duxford though:



btw, how was Paris? I'd love to go one day

using a D90 i would have thought you would have had no trouble running ISO1600?

yeah the Typhoon seems to have anti-photographic paint or something, AF is hit and miss with that thing!

I think i did later - it can cope fairly well up to about 2000 and it gets a bit grainy at 3200 (but probably usable for an A4 print).

Tried to get him in mid jump, which kinda worked, though i probably could have bumped the ISO up to get a bit more freeze on his head.

i've used an ISO3200 as a 30x20in print from my 20D (no extra NR), so im guessing the 90 should be able to cope fine...

shot from last night

[TheAnimus]

Thats a nice pic bob!

Its intresting to me this idea of tolerating noise in pictures, been a cold hearted engineer type i've always hated it. A sunset i shot back in 35mm days i was gutted because i'd used 400ISO and i just hated the noise effect.

But in grayscale it seams to be a bit different, add a texture to the sky.

So do people have any other good examples of using the noise!

[Bobster]

yeah, i've started to add noise to my B+W's, then kill it on the important bits..
