Bit harsh 😆 I like RD's shot, creative and different.

I've been hoping for a while that I'll be able to get a few shots that are worthy of this thred. I reckon these are pretty cool although nowhere near the quality of some on here.

mango - that 2nd pic is fantastic - bags of atmosphere...
Also liking the light in will's photo above ^^
Nice work mangoridebike and Will, great pics.
I saw this on the telegraph website (I love the animal galleries). Whilst not a technically amazing pic, I think it's a wonderful metaphor for life.

The light that day was mad - it was about -7 at the time as well.
From a shoot I did today. Crap weather but most of it was internal fortunately.

Just got a Canon 5D (MK I) - had my first play with it today and it seems pretty nice. Got some fancy new lenses too - can't wait to go and have a proper play.

My effort (with a Canon EOS400) looking out over Winter Hill from the office window Yesterday morning, as the snow clouds roll in from saddleworth. Weather looked a bit peaky. Posted again cos I'm well chuffed with it 🙂

Grumm, you'll love the full frame. What lenses have you got?
Canon 17-40 f4 L, 70-200 2.8 L, Sigma 50 1.4, and I've got a Tamron 28-75 2.8 on order as well 😀
Nice. The only 'L' I have is the 24-105, but I do have some lovely Olympus OM lenses I use - 18/3.5, 50/1.4, 200/4, and a Tamron 90/2.5 macro.
I've still not worked out what my next lens will be. Probably either a 70-200/4 or a Sigma 150-500. Whilst that olympus 200 is a lovely lens it's so tricky to get things focussed properly.
Are those OM lenses manual focus? Quite enjoy manual focussing for some things but with a long lens it's not great.
Really liking this 5D, apart from the bloody dust spots on the sensor! The 17-40L is insanely sharp.

Generally don't bother with HDR's as they usually turn out crap anyway. Makes a change to have a couple actually work.
Are those OM lenses manual focus? Quite enjoy manual focussing for some things but with a long lens it's not great.
Yup, they are. No issue for the wide angle or macro because I'm usually fiddling about for ages anyway. The 50/1.4 can bit a bit of a pain to focus unless stopped down (although I do have a nifty fifty too), but the 200 is a lovely lens, it's just impossible to focus it on anything that's moving. I'm sure with a proper prism viewfinder like the OM1 it was designed for, this would be easier...
yunki - Member
rocketdog.. surely you're not proud of that? And Count Zero.. you have taken a photograph of what appears to be a giant willy
That's a damn good pic rd, how the heck did you take it?
And yunki, that's a chuffin' great stone weighing some seven tons in Avebury, I'm sure it's phallic appearance from that angle is not inappropriate. It's a totally different shape from the side, however.

Lovely stuff grumm. That 2nd one beats several top tog's engagement shoots I've seen recently!
Some quick and dirty edits to try to emphasise the dark and gloomy nature of the weather. I should probably have spent much longer on them, but I'm quickly loosing patience with the idea that I'll be a full year behind at this rate if I don't hurry up with the processing!

Stuart. The landlord.
He was concerned as there was customers in the direction the camera was pointing.
Which was true as i wanted them drinking and out of focus in the shot.
Fair enough he was just avoiding complaints from his punters.

Cheers :). Was wondering if I could mebbe pick your brains about wedding photography btw?
Grumm - the robin shot is excellent. The small flash of red really draws the eye.
Ta :). Wasn't sure if the robin was too small - it does look better [url= ]bigger[/url]
zokes - what do you use for PP? I find it very quick to do in Lightroom 3.

i cycled to fife from edinburgh today. it was really great. this is a shot from the fife forth road bridge viewing platform. it was only about half one but fife was shrouded in fog/low cloud - hence the sun looking like a nighttime moon...
Grumm - LR2 at the moment. Trying to persuade the OH that CS5 and LR3 are necessities, but buying my wideangle lens seems to to have affected that argument somewhat. Picking up my shiny Gitzo CF tripod when I'm back in the UK too - looks like software will have to wait. Sadly, I've run out of affiliations with universities so will have to pay full whack for it 🙁
Out walking the dog this morning and this was the local golf course in Dumfries.

If that's the Canon you're talking about, I had one loved it and sold it. 🙁 A really beautiful lens, great colour, great bokeh just too damned slow at focusing for me, so it had to go...

Nikon D3100, 18-55VR kit lens here. Very light and quick to use. ISO into huge numbers still usable with VR to stop shake, need to sit down and get proper control of the focus, or use it in manual more. Possibly too much info going on in the LCD but I prefer the viewfinder anyway. Will have to set it in RAW and start to play with off camera dabbling once I get the time too. Haven't had a chance to read much of the manual yet so there may be solutions to the niggles. I usd to use a Pentax MX which was manual only with a simple meter so it's a bit of a shock all these controls.
