Photo-a-day

Haha - well it seems you're happy. Do be careful when screwing the legs back together - don't force it or you'll snap the spacers. That's why I was able to tell you exactly where to get new ones The bloke's name is Steve, he's very nice!

So I had them in the wrong way round? Can't say I ever noticed - worked fine :E

yes m8, it still crushed them together to make it stick no matter what way they were, takes an engineers eye to think "hang on a mo"

[brammers]

Hmm, I had them running into the grooves, but yeah, I thought that was how it worked - the ring tightens down on the spacers which tighten down on the leg...

Tbh, doubt you'd have wanted it for the f18s - high shutter speed to freeze the motion generally doesn't necessitate the use of a tripod. Even if you were to drag the shutter a bit in a pan, it's still very doable hand-held.

drove past RAF Mildenhall to see 8 F18's doing formation flying dammit

I'd have stopped in the road for that one!

What kind of editing can I do to bring out the sun's rays some more? Maybe it doesn't need it. My netbook screen is fairly clear, but not what I'm used to with my desktop monitor. I should get rid of the bright spot in the foreground as well.

I'd have stopped in the road for that one!

i would have, then climbed on top of the van if needs be to get some shots off but all the kit was 120 miles away :cry:

Rox0r, could I kindly ask you remove my portrait please?

Love the contrast in that photo though, from the overexposed left to the underexposed right, good shot .

A pic taken whilst watching Scranton Wilkes Bar Yankees. Saw three games in america, I loved the atmosphere, enjoyed it much more than I thought I would. Just wish I could have caught the shot with less blur on the bat and ball, but the games are played early evening so light wasn't good enough with my set up.

[Ruggerbugger]

Being too hard on yourself there, nice shot!

Didn't get to comment on this one sooner, but I think it's a great photo in just about every sense! Texture, bokeh, colour, composition.

Miaow?

I've been editing some of my New Zealand photos on my desktop PC at home. There are still a few for me to go through but I'm tired now. I might be going back in a week or two. I'll take my Sigma 50-500mm next time because we might go to Tiritiri Island, a nature reserve near Auckland.

I had one photo in the sequence of them almost touching the water, but it misfocused.




I like making panoramas.





I've replaced some of the photos I've already posted with some tidied up versions.

I can highly recommend Tiritiri Matangi - lots of birds. You can stay overnight too (at least you could a few years ago) - we saw a kiwi in the wild.
