Great shots HVAC!

Went on a little break this week, got loads of photos to go through but these are three of my early faves...

Cracking shots PB, really really captured them well, the sea at Saltburn looks fab.

Staithes and Saltburn, good locations, must remind myself to go there and attempt what you did seen as there on my doorstep.

Cheers, P_B!

That last shot of yours, I assume that's a real picture with some sort of effect added? Did you add the effect in your camera or in a program like photoshop? It's a very interesting look. I wouldn't mind knowing how to do it myself.

It looks like HDR to me, dont ask me what it is or how to do it because i have no idea :p its to do with tonal ranges in the photo i think.

That one one picture is the combination of 15 different shutter clicks :o Not as much work as it sounds, honest!

I took 5x underexposed shots, 5x overexposed shots and 5 'correctly' exposed shots, combining each group on the fly in-camera (unique to Pentax K10/K20 series?) to result in three images of different exposure, then combined those in editing software to give a tonemapped HDR image.

The surf was up and the sea was crowded with surfers, this technique smoothed the sea right out and eliminated all people except the static fishermen at the end of the pier.

whats the latham and benjamin bit im lost??

I had a headache before I read all that, now imagine how my head feels!

Thanks for the explanation though, guess I'll have to do some reading about tone mapping and hdr and all that jazz.

Do you think you could send me the full size version? I'd like to see the fishermen and whatnot up close.

Wow stunning airshow photos :o

Looking good, Mole :thumbsup:

Thanks, here's another of the red arrows silhouetted against the sun. I had to shoot this in manual (iso100, f16, 1/8000th - It was bright!) as the camera didn't have a hope of metering the shot correctly I could barely even see through the viewfinder.

WOW is all I can say, those are amazing pictures

Few more from the little roadtrip last week, wish I'd packed a longer lens for the surfers!

I grabbed a pic before leaving work today.....

Here's a shot from about 5-6 miles away from my house, it's a new location that I found the other day should yield a few nice shots when I get there in the right lighting!

Think you will find that it has been there for a number of years....:p

Cracking shot...well done

Well as far as I'm concerned it's new and never existed before :p

Here are a few I took on SUnday at the local Botanic Garden :-)

Taken around Port Logan in western Scotland - from my holiday last week.

The village was the set of 'Two Thousand Acres of Sky' which was on the telly about 5 years ago, Paul Kay & Michell Collins.

Port Logan bell-tower. Designed by Thomas Telford (he was a top lad) in the early 19th century.

Nigh fishing - 30 second exposure on Telfords bell-tower, too dark to see with the naked eye.

Very nice Stu.

I take it you use a tripod for such long shutter speeds

Yeah.

When I was taking the night fishing one the tripod overbalanced forwards with the weight of the lens.

I let out a bit of poo.

Fortunately it fell onto wet grass - seems OK.

Out of which hole? :confused:

G

Bum.

Speaking of fishing, I got this one of some old dudes fishing near us.
Really helpful too and didn't mind some irritating git with a camera snapping away!:D

And I'm from San Diego, where we don't use, basically any slang used in the Europe... The only slang from Europe I know is what I've picked up on oOple. Oh, and the various things I've heard in movies. I don't even have the slightest clue where Norn Iron is. It sounds like a metal manufacturing shop to me :confused:

All good stuff again on here.

Mole - looks like a decent location, looking forward to seeing more.
Hans - that surfing shot is ace!
Tel - Nice to see you posting on here, great shot of the mist.
Stu - first one is top, dropped my camera on Sat and so know that feeling...

Few from me, it's been a mixed bag of old buildings, hairy bikers and the usual poncy stuff the last couple of weeks.
