Photography The Post Your Photos Not For The Photocomp Thread For Critique Or Just For Fun Thread

Does the weight of that not want to rip it out the body? Looks madness.

 

[milou]

That is a bit mad. As there's no IS, it's very shaky in this oldie's hands. The 50mm is sweet though (as I fancied some f/1.4 shots) . The more expensive adaptors allow a change in aperture. There is a trick to force the aperture to change but it has to be achieved on a SLR first.

 

[Exioce]

I do that trick with my cheap £7.99 macro extension tubes. Fiddly, but fun for the price!

MmMmm - nice Geo porn

Will have to post it on some of the geology forums I frequent...

It's an outcrop of Carboniferous Limestone of the Pembroke Limestone Group - good for coral fossils I believe.

And for people walking across the arch to look at sea birds at the end stack.

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Phwoar. End stack.

Middle of next month. Bought a BH-55 for the trip which arrived today:

I love RRS stuff, I bought their monopod head and a couple of lens plates last year, it's all so well-made and lovely. I would love to get a the L-plate for my camera body and a "proper" ball-head. I have the Gitzo off-centre head atm and it's a royal pain for everything that's *not* off-centre (it just... flops ). The BH-55 ball head does look mighty but it's beyond my needs so I was aiming for the mid-range BH-40. I had a kids' football tournament coming up so I had to go for the monopod head. The amount (or lack) of play on the monopod head has convinced me that their ball-heads will do me just fine.

The tax is so bloody expensive getting it shipped from the US to France, though.

Dear lord, don't let Wij see that quote.

I use a Kirk L Plate which fits a treat into the BH-55.

My existing ballhead is a study Vanguard that's been vandalised to take an Arca Swiss style plate. It keeps working loose. I looked at the Arca Swiss Z1 SP on WEX and including shipping but excluding duty/VAT, the BH-55 was about the same price.

I tried some portraiture. I'm not very good at it, but I'd like to learn properly... I'm more interested in people than buildings and rocks.
I need more practice.

I haven't contributed in here for a while, so here's a shot that I wouldn't normally post on Flickr.

 

[Fweddy]

Playing with my new macro lens:

 

[Wazzerphuk]

Looks like you'll be able to get some good results out of that lens, nice one.

 

[Jimmy]

Here is a picture of the misses taken last year but edited this year

Like your portraits Clown i started on landscapes but people interest me far more as a subject.

 

[Fweddy]

Thanks Wazz, I'm really enjoying it so far. I hadn't realised how much more light I'd need though!

 

[Clown]

Thanks Jimmy.

I started on building shots and street shots as that's what I have most access to in London. Shooting people is pretty daunting for me. I get nervous even they're my friends. I just can't shake that feeling of "I don't want to waste their time" for portraits and street shots just make me feel like a voyeur. I think once I get to the point where I trust what I'm doing, I'll stop giving a fuck about how I feel. Then I can concentrate on the picture taking.

Your wife looks wet by the way

 

[TdC]

custard apple.

a who to the what now?

 

[Ch3tan]

a who to the what now?

It'#s got a proper name, but it's also called a custard apple, because that's what it taste like.

 

[TdC]

them seeds are hella big though! not sure I'd like to eat one 0o

 

[Clown]

Back to my roots, have some street shots.
