ricardovaste Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 <p>Nice shots Anthony! I like the colours in both. My only comment would be that the lighting is too harsh on both - try window light/turning off the pop up flash.</p> <p>Here are some from my walk in the (torrential!) rain late last week.<br> <img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3346/3618785707_46f6bb987f_o.jpg" alt="" width="691" height="939" /> <img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3376/3619668310_3f365ca1e1_o.jpg" alt="" width="690" height="939" /> <img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2443/3616503081_ce64fb44c2_o.jpg" alt="" width="721" height="988" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricardovaste Posted June 15, 2009 Share Posted June 15, 2009 <p>@Chris: wow, thats quite an upgrade! A costly one too, unless you can find a good deal. I can highly recommend CS3 - I'm not sure CS4 really has any 'extra' advantages for photographers, I think the advantages are mainly for graphics people. Eitherway, a 'real' photoshop program (ie not elements) is a very powerful tool - good luck with what ever you get.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_rowe1 Posted June 15, 2009 Author Share Posted June 15, 2009 <p>I have some recent shots from the past few weeks, but I haven't gotten the chance to PP them yet, because I have final exams going on in school. But as soon as I get time I'll have them in PN. :-)<br> Anthony, Very nice shots. I don't think I've seen any of your work before?<br> Richard, I L O V E that first shot taken in the torrential rain.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jiun_der_chung Posted June 16, 2009 Share Posted June 16, 2009 <p>Richard, you obviously have an affinity with flies! *laugh*</p> <p>You certainly seem to have a knack with those macros! How the heck do you achieve the background light. If I stop down to get a greater depth of field, I am forced to use a flash in order to properly expose the image and achieve a reasonable shuuter speed, at which point the background then goes black. I assume you are dragging the shutter?</p> <p>Wow! You seriously don't worry about getting your camera wet do you?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_rowe1 Posted June 17, 2009 Author Share Posted June 17, 2009 <p>I just uploaded a recent shot to my portfolio,</p> <p>http://photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=9351896</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricardovaste Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 <p>Thanks Chris, Anthony & Jiun.</p> <p>Chris, good luck with your exams. I like this last shot from you the balance of textures is very nice.</p> <p>Jiun, there was no dragging of the shutter, it was just as described above. A bog standard exposure on a tripod, with a touch of flash added wireless from one side. And yes, I'm going to continue to soak my camera until you finally take yours for a swim ;-)</p> <p>I still have quite a few files to process too, but here is one from last week or earlier this week... I don't really remember anymore!<br> <img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3609/3622483530_d43df08436_o.jpg" alt="" width="582" height="800" /></p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_rowe1 Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 <p>Yet Again, another great shot Richard. I really like the trail through the wheat/tall grass(or whatever it might be :P) It guides your eyes through the photo and leaves you looking at the treeline and the dramatic sky.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul_de_ley Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 <p>Wow! Lots of more lovely shots Chris and Rich. Just remember when your a700 goes out and gets weather all over it, we have all been clearly instructed by Robert that we should never write/suggest/assume or even dare to think that it's weather-sealed. :)</p> <p>My suggestion for the rocky shoreline shot would be "Intertidal". I like the composition and colors in "All Washed Up", but would maybe have held back a little on the softening to the driftwood in the foreground.</p> <p>Meanwhile, I ran into this strange little fella:</p> <div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul_de_ley Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 <p>In previous encounters these were always very evasive birds, but now it walked all around me as long as I didn't move a whisker and pretended to be a lens-holding part of the picnic table. It does give me some problems getting the brown tones right at the PP stage though, much like in Wayne's current thread about the "bronze horses".</p> <div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wayne_naughton Posted June 18, 2009 Share Posted June 18, 2009 <p>Paul. he's just a chick fresh out of the nest, which might explain his out of character behaviour....grin</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_rowe1 Posted June 18, 2009 Author Share Posted June 18, 2009 <p>Thanks for the Title suggestion Paul, I'll try to keep it in mind. I may just take your suggestion on holding back to softening of the driftwood. When I get some time I'll see what I can do. I really like that second shot of the bird there Paul. Quite an interesting capture, you always seem to get those bird shots at just the right second.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ricardovaste Posted June 19, 2009 Share Posted June 19, 2009 <p>Thanks Chris! Long grass of some sort I think ;). I want to try and get one in colour, with more better light/sky. That might have to wait until next week though.<br /> <br /> I really like your first (of these last two) shots Chris. You've got the exposure spot on.<br /> <br /> Thanks Paul. Erm, of course not... It's not whether sealed :-). Well, it was by my coat a little ;-). Great shots again Paul, you really manage your dof and technique well - you can see every feather on the bird!<br /> <br /> This next shot might just seem like I've thought 'oh, lets point it up now instead' :P but it was on an entirely different day and I changed the composition because I loved the sky. It was just after sunset, at dusk. I don't know why, but I really like shooting at this time. There seems to be some amazing skies around then.<br> <img src="http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2224/3636758616_f94da5c818_o.jpg" alt="" width="582" height="800" /><br> And NO, of course it isn't overdone ;-)</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_rowe1 Posted June 19, 2009 Author Share Posted June 19, 2009 <p>Thanks Richard, I find that the skies are usually good as the sun is setting or after it has set. It also depends on what you want to achieve in your picture of course. That last shot you mentioned you liked was just before the sun completly set. I have a few more shots from that same evening, but they need processing.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
