Photo-a-day

Dave - Other three that are in are the cows from a few pages back and the one with the tree right in the middle with the rays coming out either side and this one as well.



Stavro - I have a full set of hitech filters (that fit in the Cokin P holder). I tend to only use soft grads with the 0.6 most used. I have hard grads and reverse grads but I think they are only really useful for seascapes. I have B&W110 filters in both 49mm and 77mm threads. Just ordered another in 67mm as I've got a Pentax DA16-45 and a DA50-135 (just bought it 2nd hand yesterday and missed delivery man today) that will both take it. Majority of shots have been with the Sigma 10-20 - big views are useless with it at times as its like looking through the wrong end of a telescope. I'm hoping the 50-135 will enable me to highlight just the bits of a landscape that I want. To be honest the biggest influence on a landscape shot is the light. I go out for dawn regularly and the light is amazing sometimes. Lots of times it doesn't work out at all but its just a case of keeping going out there. Only other change planned anytime soon is a full set of Lee filters. A pal has them and they are superb.

I had completely forgotten about this one. I'm only just going through my New Zealand photos a month after I got back. I might be moving there for a few months soon.

Usual garden subjects from me I'm afraid

[merdat]

Kalniel, nice pictures.

Bee-yootiful shot

[Dareos]

Rugger, the flames in that shot make it for me, looks great

Kid, that shot is fantastic, the monitor at work really doesnt do it justice, will check it out more when I get home, but even here it looks brilliant, tone is quality

Kal, Bee shot was probably harder to get, but I really like the butterfly one


Got home, checked pic on my own monitor, stunning.

Kal, Bee shot was probably harder to get, but I really like the butterfly one

Actually it wasn't - the lavender is a very comfortable height for shooting and there were so many bees it was only a matter of taking enough shots to get a good one (oops did I just give away my DSLR secret ). The Hebe hedge is about eye level high (for me), so to get a shot of the butterfly on the top and a little way back I had to take advantage of the tilting LCD + live view and hold the camera overhead. And I know what you mean - the subject's nothing special, but it looks like a natural scene and the colours compliment each other nicely.

Wedding last Sat

[DannyM]

It's been a while and this is my first attempt at HDR so please, criticise as you like. The first go, I couldn't get the sky right :/



Another attempt!



Then back to reality





Sorry for so many, but I thought appropriate to share here instead of a new thread, also, these images were taken at Gordale Scar in Malham, I thoroughly recommend you go there for the day or two, plenty to be seen around malham!
