^ All he does all day is rarely emerge from his house, wander around a bit looking for holes in the fence, then gorge his face as shown, then wander back in for more sleep. He is cool though.:)

Anyway, back onto the photos...

I was looking through my collection and found a few more Morgan pictures worth saving.

Cropped version of my PhOTW entry.

Are there any photos under all that processing?! :p

Cropped version of my PhOTW entry.

Very nice and only a small amount of parrallax bending, impressive.

I've only got a compact digital (my SLR is still film).

edit: Oh just saw this:

^Mb: I also don't see the point in the UV filter as far as improving photos goes. However it protects the lens, and is the only filter I've got for that lens.

UV filters are needed for film cameras, because the UV exposes the film in addition to the visible light, so you can get a haze effect whenever you shoot in sunshine and also end up with a sky that looks turquoise rather than blue, hence why they're usually called skylight filters. Even though you don't need them on a digital camera, they're useful to stick on anyway because a filter is cheaper to replace when you scratch it than a lens :p

Some pictures taken by my parents during their holidays along the North/West coast of France (Calais, Boulogne sur Mer, Le Touquet), I took the best only ;)

Those seagull shots are amazing! how'd you manage to zoom so far? Or is it cropped ;)

-Lr-SpeedraceR · August 4, 2008

Not cropped, just a nice zoom :p I'll give you more details if u want ;)

Speedtouch · August 5, 2008

I like this photo. No idea why, because I also think it is rubbish.

kalniel · August 6, 2008

Heh flowers are good macro + bokeh practise :) I always get dozens when I try out a new camera (hence the lavender/bee photo), but they usually end up quite boring.

kalniel · August 9, 2008

I'm normally hugely opposed to mucking about with photos in the development room as it were, but I made an exception this time to test out bracketing and how steady I could hold the camera (it's a multi-exposure composite, which some people call 'HDR').

Beautiful :) I like storm skies.

Some picture tries, but without any support, its hard :/

And pictures of a thunder storm last evening

Very tricky shooting conditions! Shot #1 is very good for the long exposure. There's a script for my camera that can tell it to take a photo when it detects motion - apparently it's good for capturing lightning strikes, but I haven't seen any to find out!

Speedtouch · August 9, 2008

^^ Don't you have a tripod? If those were hand held, then they are very good! And a tripod is indispensable, so get one if you don't have one.

Another 'subtle' HDR photo:

and then for the hell of it, a deliberately unsubtle one :D

Speedtouch · August 9, 2008

^ A bit too subtle the first one there. And IMHO not a very good one below it. Sorry but try playing around with the settings a bit more. And what methods do you use to get HDR?

Car Freak · August 10, 2008

I usually really hate HDR. Looks like crap...

Anyway, my attempt at panning, with a compact camera and no tripod

you used a normal digital camera? what settings did you have it on? :p

Are you from cambridge or just passing through? i live a few miles away from those pictures!

No such thing as too subtle in my opinion - the point isn't to make a surreal picture (unless it's a joke like the one of Kings), just to capture information that your eyes see but the camera doesn't record. The 'proper' exposure of Clare bridge just has a clipped white sky which bleeds over to the vegetation, so you need HDR to make the photo look like you actually see it.

As for methods, I use some custom software in the camera to bracket at +/- 2ev (usually), then create layers in The GIMP with masks from greyscale copies and tweak the levels.
