    Default Just some pics I took at church tonight

    Just had my camera with me at church tonight and snapped some pics.

    These were just for fun and not for any religious debate.

    Opinions are welcomed.

    hey Jaime,

    how did you take that 3rd pic, w/ the blurring efect? that shot is nice! I'm new at this photography shit, and I picked up a Sony DSC-H1 about a month ago, and still need to play around with it... any ideas?

    looks like he shot it on a tripod or his car with a slow shutter speed (5=10 seconds guessing).

    Thinkfast: Teg is right. I took that pic with the camera on a tripod, slowed the shutter to like 2.5-3 secs. and snapped a pic towards an intersection. Your camera has a manual shutter option on it. I'm not sure how slow it will let it go on the slowest side, but you can try it.

    It's easy. Get a tripod, fasten the cam to it, set the shutter to it's slowest setting, and without touching the cam too much snap a pic. If it's too busy, then speed it up a little, snap another, and repeat until you get the desired effect. You have to choose a busy place where the subjects will be coming during the time the shutter is open otherwise you won't catch much.

    Teg: We've said that a couple of times and we never go. I'm ready when you are. I'm getting a little more comfortable with the new camera now. I'd like to take some different pics other than just plain jane car pics.

    I had to send my camera back but should have the replacement by the first of next week. I agree that I want to shoot something besides cars. Not sure if you saw this or not but I will post up some of the car pics I took. Where do you want to shoot at?

    Teg: That looks like the Year One show. Very nice. I like the B&W one a lot. How do you get that copyright stuff on your pics? I want to be able to do that really bad.

    I'm game to go to shoot cars/motorcycles or what not, just want to get a little creative with it. I'm bored of shooting from the same positions all the time. I'm short, so all my car pics end up looking the same after a while. There's only a certain height I can get to and only so many crouching shots you can take.

    I'm going to do some high speed action shooting at my daughter's football game on Saturday. My son also has a baseball game, but usually I'm too busy at those to take any pics.

    I like taking unposed shots of people, but when they are posed I like to use a different composition to the pic than just them right smack dab in the middle. I need two more lenses, a really wide angle one and a super fast zoom (the one I have now is not fast enough), and then I can try and work with the processing side of things. I wanna get proficient enough with the actual pics before I start trying to mess with them after via processing. I don't know jack about processing, so I figure I'd better bring good pics in the first place before starting to mess with them via processing.

    Thank you.

    You can have one too my friend. I just went crazy and bought all kinds of different things for it as soon as I got it. It's a disease. I can't keep anything freaking stock.

    Thanks Kev and Leisa.

    Teg- I kinda like the second one. Is that like a Sepia detail?

    I caught a cool shot at Jacqueline's game a little while ago. Check it out:

    BTW Teg, I went out today and bought me a Circular Polarizer filter....

    I was shooting with the bigger zoom today, so I didn't use it....but I will. I'll let you know if it makes a difference.

    The pic was retouched with a warming filter in PS. I liked the second one the best out of those two also.


    That shot looks really good, good detail

    Def. let me know how the Circular PL filter works for you.
