Why are you following and taking photo's of women behind them. Do they know you do this.

Weirdo

It's why God invented telephoto lenses

.

Nice photos triseros and some great pets. How do you find room for the hippo and the tiger though?

With great difficulty especially when the bear hogs the fishpond...

I tried putting him in the bath but he couldn't bear it...

It's allowed if you crop them (rule of thirds) and make them black & white... Then you can call it art instead of stalking ;)

I'll get me coat...

I did these messing about - thought they were quite funky ?!?

I like these...

Although no idea how to upload them so they look nice and big like yours (photo's !!) :)

Is there a post somewhere which tells you how ?

use photobucket mate

Heres some taken at Coate and a sunflower drying in the shed...
And my crazy boy at Neigh Bridge.

Just to prove photography is more about composition than equipment: This was taken on my iPhone...

DRS - not sure if you are taking the piss :)

Hahah they look very good to be fair

They're brilliant, sheepshagger.

So, what you're saying is no matter how much I spend on kit, my photos will always look shit due to my total lack of ability. Thanks for crushing the dream :)

It could be worse, he's only gone to the effort of editing mine because it was so bad!

I actually think it's a good photo but even the best of mine benefit from some cropping... It's good to see that Paul knows his level on the subject ;)

:D It's pretty much my default setting on most tbh

Heres a couple of pics I took with my Bridge Fuji HS10.

This was the first time I ever used it so wasn't expecting fantastic results but they came out OK.

The pic of the golden man was at full 30x zoom while the pic before it is at wide angle to show the difference in the shots from 1 extreme to the other.

Nice work and great shots!

Agree that it's mostly all about composition, but better quality cameras/lenses do help! Here's some I've taken on my phone & compact. I like to think I have an eye for a photo, hence me wanting a DSLR.

My fave one so far is Sippo's dead pidgeon in the pool

So how do you capture something like that, other than with split second timing and a quick shutter?

Any nude "art"?

(Guessing) Don't you set the camera on 25-40+ fps and then just pick out the frame that's got the best capture? Or maybe he's got really good reactions?

Get the camera over a sink on a tripod - have the tap dripping very slowly - then try to press the shutter at the right time !!

Takes a fair bit of messing around but I was quite pleased with how they turned out....

Tried on a lot of different settings - the "tall" one was with a Nikon D300 - Exposure 1/200, ISO 200, F/16 (if that helps :) )

Bingo. Three words. Rule of Thirds.

I'd like a better camera and an idea of what I was doing when I see nice things. These were taken on a crappy phone cam. Top and bottom ones could have been especially decent if an actual photographer had taken the shots, rather than an uneducated gimp

Mine were taken on a crappy phone camera too, but that's the joy of crappy phone camera's. I don't walk around with a camera, but I do with a phone.

I fucking love this photo.

Check these out!!

 :toocool:

Me too.....and in phone cameras I trust!!!  It's a great piece of composition (if you like symmetry and perspective.

This is one i'm strangely quite fond of:

I agree with other posters, its not about the equipment, its all about the composition.

Nice photo's though mate.

inverted nips, ew

Bit past their sell-by date by the looks of it...

I prefer baps to be a bit firmer and less floury.

Obviously this isn't a photo I've taken but its pretty amazing nonetheless

http://gizmodo.com/5802712/this-is-not-a-painting

Anyone recommend any good software for editing / cropping etc?

What OS are you using axs ?

If Win 7 Microsoft Picture Manager is actually OK for basic cropping, resizing etc....

If I need more sophisticated I use Photoshop - I also understand the lower cost version photoshop elements is pretty ok too

I use Adobe Photoshop, which is really good.

Seconded

I have photoshop but don't know how to use it  :-[

Not sure many people know how to use it properly - me included !!

There are some good video's online though which talk you through a lot of it - worth a look if you are serious about getting to grips with it :)

I don't know much about Photoshop, I know just enough to do what I want to do (edit RAW photos, etc)

The GIMP (honestly, that's what it's called) is a pretty good free alternative to Photoshop if you want to keep the power but don't want to shell out and don't mind a bit of complexity

http://www.gimp.org/

Otherwise, is Paint Shop Pro still going?

Surely you couldn't actually load a programme called Gimp on your PC :)

I bet some interesting websites come up when you google "gimp" !!!

That's why I supplied the URL :)

And it's called "The GIMP". Which makes matters worse, if anything

I'm on vista, have downloaded a trial copy of elements so will have a play.

Can't be doing with linking individual photos, but some shots from my holiday are on my Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/28832708@N04/) for anyone who cares.

As you'll see from some of the zoomed shots, it appears I have dirt in my lens. Seeing as my camera is out of warranty anyway, that DSLR might be purchased sooner rather than later.

I use Adobe Lightroom which helps you to manage your complete photo collection, edit photo's, print, and create slideshows.  Takes a little bit of learning but once you are there its very good.  I also have Photoshop CS5 which you can link to from Lightroom but to be honest 90% of the time Lightroom is enough.

Gimp sounds crap but is an excellent free product I can hugely recommend it.

And this photo was taken when delivering to a scrap yard in Birmingham,just was weird that the yard backed onto peoples houses with the old church looking on.
Not a great photographer but like to take a few.
The Dog chasing the rabbit is a real good shot.

Ahhhh Leefer I really want to live in an art Deco house!

My cat and my hedgehog.
Who's gonna get to the food first!?

Here's a couple down in Poole

Does the hedgehog go off for wonders and return for sleep?

I trust his name is Sonic?

Which one you gonna eat first?   ;)

That's Harry, we have another one somewhere in the garden called Spike.

That's his feeding station, he doesn't normally sleep in there, but has done a couple of times recently. He normally sleeps in the pampas grass.
 It gives my missus a bit of a fright when she opens the lid and he's in there during the day. :)

He's left a nice, big turd in there also. Lovely stuff.

Not taken by me but ace all the same

Your cat is a beaut btw. Almost exactly the same coat pattern as mine used to have, but the other way round.

Are you allowed to keep hedgehogs?

Yes but you need a hedgehog licence.

Haha, we don't keep him, he lives in our garden and we just have a feeding station for him so he can eat (and sometimes sleep) in peace.


:D

From the Ministry of Housinge?

Took this one with the phone this morning down at Boscombe Pier, after stopping off for coffee. Poxy weather

Nice picture, is that where the failure of a surf reef is?

That's the one jb soapy tit wank

What a cock up. It cost a fair whack aswell by all accounts.

A few million I think, big scandal down here, the council are supposed to be getting the contractor back to repair it. Have my doubts as to wether it will ever work properly. Still they can waste my council tax on anything they see fit

Took this on my phone on my pleasant walk home from the pub last night:

Some nicer Graffiti at a little church in Gawcott near Buckingham,took the photo yesterday while delivering nearby to a timber yard.

Fuck me Science, where do you live? The Bronx?

haha it does look pretty bad in that photo - it's the subway that goes under Queens Drive

Just stumbled on this site, some amazing photos on here.
http://www.burrard-lucas.com/gallery/portfolios/burrard-lucas_portfolio.html

fuck that for a laugh :-)

Entered into the countryfile photo comp...

Good luck with that,really good pic.
Took a few today,first one is Bliss Mill in Chipping Norton,amazing Victorian mill with landscaped gardens and now home to flats...it must have been an impresive building to the folk who worked there...stunning building and the best mill in Britain at the time....William Bliss looked after his workers(in relative terms) and people walked from miles around to work here,it stopped producing in 1980.

[url width=900 height=675]http://i934.photobucket.com/albums/ad185/swindon123/mill006.jpg[/url]

Next one below is a typical little house in Burford and the one with the traffic light on red which allowed me to take the pic is the old mill house by the little bridge and river in Burford.

 :toocool: :crash: (http://:toocool: :crash:)Hi dad

Leefer - Fantastic picture of our local mill, I actually live on the hill in New Street Chipping Norton and wake to this view every morning (Beats the County Ground but only just)

That mill was an even more imposing site before it was converted to residential which hit the town quite badly at the time, I in fact had quite a few relatives working there. When it closed the chimney was reduced in height by 50 or 60 feet for safety reasons.

Few of mine.

...

....

Certainly an impressive site and when i deliver opposite again i will park up and walk down for a gander.

Owen Mumford is the firm across the road.

Yep Owen Mumford is just down the road from me, not sure if you knew this but as well as surgical instruments they also make Dildos! I work just round the corner from there in station yard.

Yep i did know that,i always get a buzz when delivering there :D

Leefer - them Burford pictures bring back some memories, the house by the bridge (photo with the rover in foreground) used to be the doctors surgery I got dragged to when I was a lad.

Haha i used to work there. What a shit hole.

We used to draw smily faces and stick hair on the dildos before they got sent off to customers.

Lovely house,though ruined these days by the continuous traffic.

And this is the new Woman's Only car park recently opened.

[url width=900 height=675]http://i934.photobucket.com/albums/ad185/swindon123/excel004.jpg[/url]

And one i took while delivering to the Exel Centre in East London Victoria Dock.
The white building is the old Spillers flour mill,humengous building and i believe the smaller brown drab building is the old Tate/Lyle Sugar factory.
A lovely reminder of the days the ships would bring in there wares to these massive warehouses.

Got back from California a couple of weeks ago, amazing place, drove up the Pacific Coast Highway from Los Angeles to San Francisco, then finished off with a week in San Diego.

Some good uns there stfc11. Like the first one especially. What are those fools doing in the last one?

Never seen cricket played like that before...

Haha, I never took any interest in baseball, then went to a Padres game back in 2008 and decided to learn all about it, a lot of it is based around statistics, but I found this time knowing most of the rules made it a really entertaining game. Oddly enough it seems if Swindon have a good season so do the Padres and if we're crap they're crap!

I thought it was based around beer?

Bleedin Americans and their girls games for blokes:

Baseball - bloke rounders
Basket Ball - bloke netball
Ice Hockey - bloke real hockey
American Football - girls rugby (exception proving rule)

.

Don't think you would see this in rounders!

Not as bad but at least there'd be some teenage clunge and arse in the air!

It's not Tate & Lyle, it's the old Rank Mill

She fell over.

About time this thread got bumped.

Messing about with my phone at Lydiard Park yesterday.

As the camera saw it:

Really don't like the HDR function on the iPhone, I can't see the point of it - it just makes things look overexposed. Looks good after a bit of shopping though.

That was taken with my HTC Sensation. With the HDR setting turned on the greens look far too washed out.

The HDR function is really designed to level out the exposure and provide detail to under exposed areas as a result it appears over exposed but is actually more like how our eyes see things...

Another bump... trip down to Portland Bill today...

Bumping, purely because I've spent far too much time messing about in Photoshop this afternoon that I feel the need to show off what I've been doing.

Wot a little cracker!

Very envious - but dont tell my boy!!

Babies snorting mustard is bad. Fair play for getting rid of that

Ha, that was the remnants of her lunch.

Wow, I like the one of the polar bear and the Japanese mother who found her daughter's certificate.

My camera broke in the jungle but I got a few good shots in the Galapagos with my iPhone:

And I thought the mother in law had gone to Benidorm

Anyone use Instragram

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-57559710-38/instagram-says-it-now-has-the-right-to-sell-your-photos/

Mystical goat, did you do any scuba diving in the Galápagos Islands? If I could only dive once more, it would be there!

My instagram is used solely for photos of lager. If anyone pays money to use my photos they need help.

We were on the boat there for 5 days, snorkeled on 4 of them. I don't know if scuba would have added much more, we saw amazing stuff as it was, and I'm not certified to scuba (not actually sure if you need to be?).

We swam right next to a variety of crazy looking fish, giant sea turtles, rays, sea lions, and sharks. It was the highlight of my whole time away and if you ever get the chance to visit the Galapagos you must take it.

Jealous! It's meant to be one of the best places in the world to dive or snorkel. You could've done a 'try dive' without being certified but it does sound like you saw plenty of things anyway  :)

Has anyone got one of these cameras?
Samsung WB150F Compact Digital Camera - (14.1MP, 18x Optical Zoom) 3.0 inch LCD WIFI Version
are they any good for the money - approx £125

Sounds fantastic If you managed to see that lot whilst snorkelling. I can't say if you would have seen more with scuba but it seems you ticked lots of boxes.
One day I will go, definitely. I've heard it's crazily expensive to do a liveaboard cruise and there is also a waiting list.

It's all a dream at the moment though

Nice to see the Town had passion even back then...reminds me of that silly waterfall or the daft clock in more recent years.
