_C50_ Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 (edited) A few pics my father in law took. Wish i could say it was me... Edited June 29, 2011 by _C50_
Grebel Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 I suppose it is about time I got in on the action... Hand held, playing around at a friend's wedding. Realised afterwards that I had cut the bouquet off on the right hand side. Would have been better off a tripod... One for Dangle. Also hand help. Taken at Makaranga in Hillcrest. Definitely going back soon. Awesome place for pictures!
Wyatt Earp Posted June 29, 2011 Author Posted June 29, 2011 I like thatsecond one Grebel.Nice one Leeu, rare opportunity that, what telephoto did you use ?
Grebel Posted June 30, 2011 Posted June 30, 2011 @Leeu: you are lucky to get a photo like that! I have heard that those are rare to see let alone photograph! @Dangle: What are you using to get that overexposed grainy effect on your pictures (Hope that is the right terminology...) The effect is really awesome!

Hi Mate Are you referring to this kind of thing ? http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5035/5887598101_4962be4eb0_z.jpgGym by OddPix1, on Flickr http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5268/5887605239_90b5c612c9_z.jpgVodaTrees by OddPix1, on Flickr Or this ? http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6022/5887599973_b5d57f9ddd_z.jpgDSC00399 by OddPix1, on Flickr The first two are images with some HDR work done. The third one is a straight conversion.These images were taken with a Sony NEX 3 so some definition and sharpening in aperture has been applied.
Grebel Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 (edited) Yes. Reffering to the first two. I have seen some of your previous colour shots both here and on Flickr and at a glance they have a canvas print type effect. I am fairly new to the SLR game and am still shooting in Jpeg format. Are those shot in RAW and then manipulated later? Edit: I just did a bit of reading on Wiki and answered my own question. Time to start using ALL the buttons on my camera and use the net! Great work by the way. How long have you been taking pics? You got a good eye. Edited July 1, 2011 by Grebel
Wyatt Earp Posted July 1, 2011 Author Posted July 1, 2011 Hi Grebel Thanks I started taking pics last year in August. I take all images in raw, most I keep natural, some of them look good at the moment, as ll the senses are involved, get it on the screen at home and it looks bland, some manipulation and a bit of this and that and you actually have something to look at Some more with my Sony NEX 3, I like this camera, it's smaller than my SLR and very convenient to carry around, also you don't look like a paparazzi all the time. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5319/5887598971_6d00f48458_z.jpgDSC00400 by OddPix1, on Flickr http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6020/5887601163_d61a54c201_z.jpgDSC00397 by OddPix1, on Flickr http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5279/5888170186_0e3fd6026d_z.jpgDSC00388 by OddPix1, on Flickr
Grebel Posted July 1, 2011 Posted July 1, 2011 I have been at it for about a while now. Got a Sony Alpha 350 DSLR. Problem is that like you say, to carry it around all the time, you look like a tool. I often find myself seeing something and thinking that it would make a great shot but I don't have my camera on me... I looked at the NEX3 but for the price I think I would rather look like a tool and buy more stuff for the 350! I just need to get out more and shoot stuff. You eventually run out of stuff to shoot in your garden...
patham Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 You eventually run out of stuff to shoot in your garden...I hear you, but theres always something new...Saturday morning, at 09.00, the spray from the freeze valve on my solar geyser had produced (b)icycles ..
Wyatt Earp Posted July 4, 2011 Author Posted July 4, 2011 @Grebel, I was lucky, as a man who knows platsak I was fortunate enough to have the entire family club together and get me the NEX 3 Patham I really like those, I also like your thinking, there is always an opportunity. My day yesterday was all mono. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5235/5897389843_62fed6da02_b.jpgIMG_6352 by OddPix1, on Flickr http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5151/5897951970_76db71bbd7_b.jpgIMG_6363 by OddPix1, on Flickr http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6052/5897961606_3b53e3bded_b.jpgIMG_6334 by OddPix1, on Flickr http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5112/5897973798_15cdcdec22_b.jpgIMG_6377 by OddPix1, on Flickr

Grebel Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 @patham Nice shots there! You are right! I suppose if you actually opened your eyes when you walk around the garden (or anywhere for that matter), there are a multitude of things to shoot. Also the same thing will look completely different at different times of the day. @Dangle Nice shots man! The roof shot looks like a bit of fisheye going on there. I am going to start carrying my camera around with me more. You never know whaen you could stumble across an awesome shot! @Tarmac Nice contrast. Is that HDR?

Is that HDR?Could be an i-phone with lomo or instagram perhaps. Thanks for the compliment, the roof and the water shot are both fisheye.
