Topic: Photography thread

[anfieldpurch]

Probably not on the same scale as some but was recently in Venice and took this on an evening just on the phone and made up with how it turned out, no filters and just on my cheap iphone camera

[Chakan]

Found this little guy sitting on my bench out for a walk.

like it - you did well getting such a good macro shot whilst out and about and rather than in a safe studio setting

if your camera has a stacking option within its settings then look at using that as it will give you a greater depth of field - but you most probably already know that 

[Chakan]

Thanks! Was very happy to get the little guy in focus. The macro lens just arrived and it’s a full manual Lens which I’ve never used before. So definitely have to get used to it. Yeah the focus stacking is something I’ll have to play with and see if I can get an all around focus for it.

Do we have a general photography thread? Not like a post your best one kinda thing? I want a post a few pics but they're nothing compared to these, so just don't want to spam a thread like this?

Use this one mate, I'll change the thread name.

[Chakan]

Awesome thanks!

I did a search and couldn't find anything.

Just playing around with the macro and focus stacking




Not quite what I was going for but interesting nonetheless

Just a few pictures of the actual Greenway

This is the pic in my avatar. Taken about 5:50AM before staring work, but can't remember if its spring or autumn.

My lad took this on an Iphone 11 when were staying at Presthaven Prestatyn

Very nice!!

That's boss that

Thanks, should have used a higher shutter speed but live and learn

Do any of you folks ever enter into the BBC photograph of the year awards ?

It's a cool pic, I like that amount of blur in the ricochet and the droplets in the background, I suppose with photos like that where it is about timing that when you play with settings you never which will have the best "action". Have you ever looked into focus stacking? I like the depth of field on the leaves, but find the blurry front of the edge of mushroom distracting. Also not sure what the original crop of the image was like, but I would have a play around on what to include as some of the edges are a bit dark and distracting.

No, but I've made the shortlist for a different contest which I'm happy with but annoyingly the one they've selected is under my partner's name so we could submit more entries.

Yeah i've done a bit of focus stacking before but not a lot. I'm still getting used to macro photography so still very raw. Btw there is no crop on this photo, I think I could have been a bit further away to increase the focus on everything and then cropped it afterwards. As I said still learning how to do all this.

Brisbane, West End Markets, Xmas Eve.

I did think about it when I was using my camera more but was sure you had to pay so didn't bother

[Elmo!]

Took this today, it's looking out from the beach next to Trump's golf course near Aberdeen. These are the wind turbines that piss him off so much.

This picture is great. Knew you was a Fun gi.

The Boat Shed, Tasmania. Taken on a recent road trip, I got up early to catch the sunrise only to find not too much sunshine so went for a moody approach. 

[Komic]

Just had some prints back ready to get on the wall, and think this one has come out quite well. It's a great place to take photos as lots of little waterfalls along the stream opposite Tryfan.

[liverbloke]

cracker that mate 

[rob1966]

Went for a walk through the fields not far from us and the walked along the Mersey to Sale.

You can see from the flattened vegitation, that the river has been really swollen with recent rains, its about 20ft down from the path to the river in the first two photos

Took this before Christmas.

Superb mate

[Chakan]

Very nice!

I'm so itching to get the camera out this weekend.

keep it up people - loads of good stuff uploaded here 

the fact that you're all looking around you and noticing these things is great - the majority of people don't stand and stare

What is this life if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare?-

No time to stand beneath the boughs
And stare as long as sheep or cows:

No time to see, when woods we pass,
Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass:

No time to see, in broad daylight,
Streams full of stars, like skies at night:

No time to turn at Beauty’s glance,
And watch her feet, how they can dance:

No time to wait till her mouth can
Enrich that smile her eyes began?

A poor life this if, full of care,
We have no time to stand and stare.

Spot on, photography is a great mindfulness tool.
