Photo-a-day

I need to increase my subject matter really!

Nope, you don't, such a happy looking lad.

Here's one from me...

Clevedon Pier. I took others but quite like how this came out, and I was out experimenting with a 10 stop ND filter too...great fun!

had a muck about with some HDR last night, only one that turned out alright was this one of my mates car.

Shiato .... nice shot, nice colours. Personally I'm starting to find all these wide angle 'desolate' shots starting to leave me a bit cold, but it's a cracking pic none the less.

Ramedge .... Like that a lot. Bit of adjustment on composition, and a bit of professional lightint to remove some of those shadows and I could see that as a full page advert in a glossy magazine. Selling old cars . Good effort

yeah i know the shadows are quite bad :S
i didnt really think about the composition, it was just last shot before we moved location was a quickie.

wish i took more hdr shots last night.

cheers! when you say 'wide angle, desolate shots' which ones do you mean? I was after a bit of foreground interest and to catch some light on both that and the pier...I had a longer lens with me but figured this was a better balance

[Bobster]

its a nice shot, but no real interest on the left m8y..

nice going benny! ur skills are improving

The RAW mode on this camera seems very noisy, even with processing. I'm wondering about going back to jpeg until I get something decent.

It's just a personal preference, a lot of these 'HDR-esque' style photographs are very wide angle, feature very little in the foreground, and typically don't have much in the way of people subject matter.

As a stand alone picture, it's great. As one of hundreds of pictures adhering to a similar composition model, it doesn't have anything to pull me into the picture. It's probably just me.....I spent a lot of time looking at HDR on deviant and flickr, I think I killed it for me.

yes, too much 'over-done' HDR out there to really appreciate what it was probably intended for...but thats what people do when they get creative, I prefer to use it to fill in the gaps a single exposure can't quite get within the latitude of the sensor - which is pretty good but just shy of 'all' the range on some occasions. not a great fan of the over processed/hi-contrast look m'self, once one or two people did it everyone started to copy them... (plus I can't even seem to get that look either which can only be a good thing )

All straight from the camera.
No post-alterations.


Any comments would be very much welcolmed

[Elmo]

the first photo of the uni, the branches at the top are annoying.

The stairs, the lights are a bit bright and need toning down a wee touch.

Greyfriers is lovely, but a teeny bit squint

The museum is ok, if a bitty dull.

the bar/railing at the bottom of the beach photo is annoying, as are the rocks with the rubbish on them and the other person taking a photo, you might want to get closer and just have the main subject in it.

this photo of the uni is better, it could have done with being a bit brighter, and i'd have cropped the kelvingrove carpark out.

not sure what you were trying to achieve with the dead shrub?

I actually quite like the one of wellington church, altho it is making me a bit sea-sick...Possibly invest in a tripod?

not too constructive, cos i've not got much time, but hope that's of some help?

Slemish, near Ballymena Co. Antrim, St. Patrick's mountain,


Pint of the Black Stuff in Dublin on St. Patrick's Day

[Bobster]

out of those 9 the stairs is the least like a snapshot did well to hand hold that

CMC, St P's Day was cancelled, didn't u get the memo?

i like the landscape if the forground wasn't so dark

[Bobster]

last nights fun
