Photographers: Photograph a Day

[dp32185]

that picture turned out exactly the way i wanted... thanks for the good words:D i was actually focusing on the center of the picture. somehow the focus is on the left side :thinking: maybe i was a bit too close and the cam wacked the focus to the side. it looks awesome on my camera, but when transferred to the computer...not really the way i wanted.

i'm trying to stay away from the auto, av, tv modes etc., but i could probably familiarize myself with the 'correct' settings on av/tv modes and tweek it here and there in the manual.

I have read the Photographer's Handbook Third Edition by John Hedgecoe. It's a decent book overall with bunch of compared illustrations. :goodjob:

[RUSH]

imbosile..... I wasnt bashing you, the photo you posted is a nice shot, I thought you were thinking to single out the subject you had to photochop it. But I know what you are talking about now. If you havent, you need to read the books by Brian Peterson!

Here are a few Random shots I had...

^^ sweet, i love the waterfall one, and the sunset

I havn't tried any of moving water yet, hopefully I'll get a chance sometime

Took this tonight, trying to make a new wallpaper for my home PC.

No photoshopping , except for a resizing and signature addition.

No added blur, just pure bokeh from the prime.

took this last night in front of the car garage. any suggestions for an improvement?

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b191/dp32185/IMG_0033.jpg

is this glare due to my factory canon lens being the way it is? or photographer error? i took more pics with the lights on and the glare exists in all angles!

^^ I get that a lot also, but mine are more like little rings. It's quite annoying, I'm not really sure how to fix it other than some type of settings.

Lens flares are 99.9 percent of the time attributed to glass quality, not user errors. When I was in the market for a wide angle lens, I purchased a Sigma 15-30mm (Around $400). It was okay until you got anywhere near a light source, then it was flare city. The blue spheres were not something I wanted to clone stamp out of every shot. I decided to see what the next higher up model , the Sigma 12-24 HSM would perform, and its 97 percent flare free. But it cost me 200 more in the end.

Ahh ok, I didn't know that. I guess I'll deal with it for now, hey did you ever get any of those photos printed?

[YokotaS13]

To blur out the backgrounds you are going to need photoshop, do you have it? I can tell you how if you have it.
buy a 50 1.8 and you wont have to do it ghetto
or any low aperature lens for that matter

Read my post responding to that, I know how to not do it "ghetto". I was just telling him how because I figured he wanted to blur out the background on the picture he already had taken.

But yes, I would like to get a 50, 1.8 sometime.

hahaha, the pic is great but no scale reference....photoshop or really big cup?! :D

Everyone who sees it thinks it's fake/photoshopped. It's real. It is supposed to be used for as a flower pot. The saucer and cup are attached. It's not as big as it appears to be. I would say it's about 7-8" tall.

I called them one day to get their permission to do a photoshoot there one day. It wasn't for anything fancy or anything, as a matter of fact initially it was for someone's personal use. I actually just wanted to know if they would let me take pics in a certain area with the carvings in the background. You know what they told me? "Ummm, you can't do that unless you pay us $______ (can't remember now what number they said but it was something ridiculous) AND you have to show us the pics before we sign off on it"......yep, that's what they said.

I went up there anyway and took the pics. Before too long Stn. Mtn. police came up and asked me what I was doing. I told him taking pics. He basically recited the exact same thing I'd gotten over the phone.

I was being a smarty pants, but it is a true story what happened to me.

Man, That is so stupid! I guess they really couldnt say anything to me cause I looked just like another tourist.... I didnt have any of my crap with me, just the camera...

Still pretty stupid though!

Well that's also partly my fault too. I brought my tripod, big lens, camera bag, yada yada.....and we were also in a deserted parking lot with the mtn in the background.....I guess I deserved attracting unwanted attention too.

I just thought it was gay of them to make such a big damn deal when I called. Seriously, they had like this script ready to rattle off like they have for when you call in to reserve a pavillion or something. It just rubbed me the wrong way. It sucks too because I live literally a rocks throw away. I hear the fireworks every night. Oh well, screw 'em.... :tongue1:

I was being a smarty pants, but it is a true story what happened to me.hahhah, pwnd by stone mountain...If you want to shoot there let me know. A retired police chief of atlanta who then became head of security at the park [Director of Administration & Public Safety?] has filmed and photographed me rock climbing...then invited me to go off the face at stone mountain (either side of the carving). I'm sure he's retired now but I can make a call ;)


In order to film or take photos at Stone Mountain Park companies/individuals must first obtain approval from the Park. Due to the volume of requests about filming and photography on-Park, all requests must be submitted in writing at least 14 days prior to the shoot. In most cases, the Park does charge a location fee. Rates vary according to scope and details of specific projects. There is also a location fee for wedding-related photography (unless the wedding/reception is being held at Stone Mountain Park).

To submit your request, e-mail [email protected] or fax 770-413-5059. Your Memo/Letter should detail date and time of shoot, crew size, number of vehicles entering Park, desired location(s) for filming/photography, Start/End times and list of equipment to be used during shoot. Also, include how the photos/film will be used.

[speedminded]

ah, just looked his name up...not the director but a Sgt. and main contact at the Stone Mountain Park Police Department/Department of Public Safety.

Yeah I guess I could see where they were coming from, but there is no reason for them to get all crazy and throw out an outragious price just to be able to shoot. I had the samething happen to me at Chota falls in Clayton Ga, the lady was nice about it I suppose. She just said I needed to make an apointment, but said nothing about a fee.

I like his new sigma a lot, its a very nice lens.it's wayyy to slow...the Canon series III 70-300 is supposedly alot faster and you can get them for like $150. I'm just looking for the best deal on a 70-200 f/2.8L and a 1.4x L for it.

[Jaimecbr900]

70-200 f/2.8L and a 1.4x L for it.

You'll love the quality of the shots. I have it and the 1.4 and 2.0 extenders. The extenders only work right with the non-IS models though. I've never used my extenders yet, although your moon shot got me to thinking.... :D

Ironically enough, I shoot a lot more with the much smaller lens though. It's a little more versatile for when you need a wider FOV. The 200 lens is awesome though for like car events and stuff when you need the distance.

BTW, I've seen a bunch of 70-200 2.8's on Ebay a lot. That's probably going to be your most economical choice, although as you know you have to be careful who you get it from. I have seen lots advertised as new though, so that could possibly be a safer bet for internet buying.

yeah its tuff to find a good deal in a 2.8 lens. His new Sigma wasnt to bad for what it is, I think he paid $750+ for it, but the problem he ran into was trying to find it. took him two weeks and finaly found one in Orlando (wolf Camera) No one would help him locate one, so he just called store after store!

That one is just as bad finding as the 18-200 VR

Yeah my brother would have just got one off of Ebay, but he had a Wolf Camera card.


Just go to the main camera stores on ebay, they normally are listed down the left hand side of the screen under the advanced search list. I buy a lot of my stuff from these stores.

DigitalCorp....
Cameta Camera....

It started a couple weeks ago and they're not offering the L's this year and now both are sold on craiglist...soooo, i'm back to where i was 2 months ago when i was ready to get one, argh! :(


Yeah my brother would have just got one off of Ebay, but he had a Wolf Camera card.


Just go to the main camera stores on ebay, they normally are listed down the left hand side of the screen under the advanced search list. I buy a lot of my stuff from these stores.

DigitalCorp....
Cameta Camera....
ShopSunshine.....
J&K Cameras......

and so on, just look at the feedback and rating and that will tell you all you need to know! Im an ebay freak!I've been searching around...usually a few good deals on the 100-400 f/4 on there too, it would be a great lens for day time at Road Atlanta!

We'd have to spend $80,000 on the 1200mm to get Matt at a drift event again :tongue:

The nantahala bridge is a great spot, used to camp on the other side. Then camping during Ranger wars is fun...the contant sound of machine guns: both from sound devices and blanks, guys running by barking commands, & illumination flares launching over the tree lines. Good times :D

bad.. never been during the wars...

[RUSH]

rush man, that's bad... u've gotten so much better... (not that u were ever bad.. u get what i'm sayin) which bridge is that though???? there's one going towards natahala(spl)(cherokee) that's real cool..


Thanks man, its up there on hwy60 close to skeena(spl) gap.

[Nemesis]

it's wayyy to slow...the Canon series III 70-300 is supposedly alot faster and you can get them for like $150. I'm just looking for the best deal on a 70-200 f/2.8L and a 1.4x L for it.


LOL what?! The 2.8 HSM that Rush is probably reffering to is not a slow lens.

[RUSH]

LOL what?! The 2.8 HSM that Rush is probably reffering to is not a slow lens.



nah, I think he was referring to his own lens

[speedminded]

Yeah, My brother bought one and used it for a day or two and didnt like it, of course thats his opinion, but he snatched up a 70-200 f2.8 sigma. I like his new sigma a lot, its a very nice lens.

I'm just looking for the best deal on a 70-200 f/2.8L and a 1.4x L for it.read again :tongue: Rush mentioned his brother didn't like it then i said why i don't like it either, backing it up saying the Series III 70-300 is supposedly faster than the older sigma and canon 70-300's....but i don't really care because i want a 70-200 f/2.8 ;)

I did read it :-P and he did say that he snatched up a 70-200 f2.8 sigma, and he likes it.

You must have gotten a bad copy, because my copy isnt slow.

This is one I shot with the 16-35 F2.8L

[DrivenMind]

I have the Sigma 70-200 f/2.8 and I'm quite pleased with it. Plenty fast enough for a drift even, and although the manual focus is a bit on the heavy side.

That's interesting, was there water at the top? It appears to be a dam of some sort...and the door tells me it's a pump room or something. Was the lil door locked?!

[RUSH]

Well my brother climbed up to where he could see that it was like a marsh/swamp thing(lol...no pun). The Door was locked but I know we could have broken in to it. The only thing we heard inside it was water drips!

I like this one out of the two... nice job! On the other one that is color, try that again but go with a f/ of 11 or higher and see how it looks, I mean I do like how the camera is focused on the label, but I think with f/11+ will look good.

Now that yall are talking about monopods.....I picked me up a new one the other day. It's a Manfrotto with the trigger and ball head. I like it a lot. It's very light and works good. I wanted the one that is both a mono and a tri, but they didn't have it in stock and I'm an impulsive buyer.... :D I think that would be cool because it's the best of both worlds.

I also saw a very pimp CF monopod that was even lighter than mine, but was crazy expensive too. I had to leave that one wit 'em. :D

BTW, I'm claustrophobic and Ruby falls was murder on me, although I bet pics in there could really be incredible. I was just happy to get out alive.... :yes:

I saw a cool barn like that when I was on my bike on the way up to the mountains. I want to go back and take some shots of it.

Cool pic Rush. I like it in B&W. What's it look like in color?

Thanks Jamie


Here is one From last weekend it was at Fontana Dam. Just thought it was neat having the dam behind the sail boat. I did all I could, but it was soo hazy out(Mid Day sun was right over me). If I could have the same setup closer to sunset it would of been an awesome time to take a few shots!

Im not really getting either one of these, it looks like a kid got ahold of your camera.

The first one is pretty good though....some people arnt up for the fisheye look on shots like that, but its like everything else.....There opinion! I want a fisheye, but its prolly after a few other lense first. Try using the fisheye on singled out items/things, like an old house, look down on a dog and snap one, its hilarious...or any animal at that. Its more of just a fun lens....

I like the city shot but would have done a lil less flash on the flower...maybe bounce it off a white sheet of paper or envelope so it reflects off the walls and ceiling...would give it a warmer softer look -- or maybe set up a tripod and shoot it low light with a long shutter.... :dunno:

http://www.importatlanta.com/upload/files/84/city3.jpgWhen did you shoot this? i was on the other side of the bridge the night before.

Yeah yeah, it's a lil tilted...i was shooting through the 3" square hole fence panels on the bridge

[imbosile]

nice shot speedminded, i took this monday night from the georgia tech parking deck right next to the arby's on spring street

Rush, yeah i know what you mean they look like a kid took them i guess, but i like them haha. especially the ones with all the circles, i think it looks different.

question. how long of an exposure did you use to take this pic? & also did u use an 8x cross screen filter or photoshop the starry points of light. it looks really good:goodjob:

Don't know about the filter question, but the lights will give that effect without any post processing. I think it looks awesome.

Anyone see all the police, fire, and ambulances at the intersection in my pic?

[imbosile]

my favorite is when you zoom into a picture on the computer, and look in the windows of buildings haha

[Nemesis]

nice jordan! when did you pick that up? Damn I really need to get back out and shoot some more.

[speedminded]

haha nice, i didn't even notice that

my favorite is when you zoom into a picture on the computer, and look in the windows of buildings hahalol, just wait until you see the ones i took with the 300mm *evil grin* if there was anything going on in any of those offices i could see it :tongue:

[imbosile]

thanks man, well it's not mine haha. it was given to my girlfriend's dad as a gift from his company on their annual company trip. it's insane, they went on a two week vacation to hawaii this year, and he was given this lens as part of the trip. i was so happy i got to try it out, i've always wanted to use one.

what have you been up to lately?

[imbosile]

lol, just wait until you see the ones i took with the 300mm *evil grin* if there was anything going on in any of those offices i could see it :tongue:


haha you better post up something good lol

[Nemesis]

Making money man, haha. Seriously, after my promotion, I got a new apartment and have been busy with that. Things are slowly starting to slow down thank goodness. I hope to be out at more meets, and start shooting more photos for fun. I miss it. Ill probably be bringing back another forum sometime in the near future, not just for Nikon Users specifically. Primarily because I maybe investing in a 1d in the near future.

[changaroo]

what happened to the whole outing thing :P

I dont know whats under your picture, but if you coulda done a Vertical pic, and had some trees/building/car or something in there it would of been even better

[RUSH]

hmm, ISO's good f/ needs to be on up to about 20. The pic almost looks like its above 4 or 5, but then again Im sure this fisheye is gonna be a lil different.

Goodjob!Late afternoon sun was behind me, the first time i tried to shoot it was a couple weeks ago and mid morning with sun was behind the waterfall...the actual falls was dark and shadowed and the top was blown out with lens flares everywhere. This time I went up there not knowing how much battery i had left and ended up pulling of 6 shots before it died, with this one being the first of those 6 haha.
