Woah, is that a bendy track or a moving exposure?
btw thanks guys! The bloke in the hat has got impala shit on his tongue. He posed like that and we're still not sure why. The feller in the background was sick of waiting for us and went up a tree, as you do.

Looked at your set today, so many great shots and after i calmed down from getting insanely jealous, i promised myself i'd do this within a year. How long were you there?
― not_goodwin, Friday, 10 December 2010 21:36 (thirteen years ago) link
A month, but about 2/3 of that was on safaris. Sooo worth doing. I can give you loads and loads of advice btw.

Please do, there's a million sites out there, but it'd be better getting info from someone who's actually done it.Ive added you as a contact on flickr.

what's a moving exposure? anyway, it's a bendy track.
― RR, Friday, 10 December 2010 23:57 (thirteen years ago) link
d'oh I meant you were moving the camera while the shutter was open, but you didn't so

I'm a little embarrassed to include this one, given the subject matter, but I really like the result.I use toys quite often when I'm trying to come up with new lighting and portraiture ideas.Also this has been post-processed with a fairly heavy b&w filter in LightRoom.

Wy embarrassed? Toys are great to work with, especially when you want to try things with human subjects but don't have the patience.

I did say a little embarrassed.I really like the photo. I just thought people might find a picture of a couple of plastic toys slightly odd.Turns out I'm not the only person to do this...
Oh and thanks for the positive feedback regarding the photo.

Nothing to be embarrassed about treefell, that shot has great lighting, and as AA said, great to practice on too.

I like that, RR.Should we start a new thread for 2011? It's probably about time for one.
Here are a few pictures I took during xmas hols. I only took about 20 photos the entire 17 days I was away visiting family. I intended to take more, but... it's too cold to be outside for long in Edmonton in December and my dog will only pose for so long.

Does anyone have any tips/tricks for dealing with light pollution? Usually the sky in my nighttime photos comes out DARK RED. I have figured out how to kind of sort of maybe fix this in LR/Photoshop but is there a way of dealing with light pollution when taking the actual photo?

salsa shark lives near Tron.Great shots, what & where are those btw?
Also the light pollution thing, could be white balance, but you can alter that in Lr, so i er dunno.
agree on the new thread, tis time.
― not_goodwin, Wednesday, 12 January 2011 03:12 (thirteen years ago) link
what a moving photo, meisenfek
not_goodwin, the buildings comprise Edmonton's Muttart Conservatory. Each pyramid houses a different 'zone' of plants (desert, tropical, temperate, and a changing exhibit). It's a super place.
I did find that adjusting the w/b in LR helped with the light pollution (tbh was too cold to stand around fiddling with it while taking the photos). Though looking through other flickr photos tagged with Muttart Conservatory, I saw a couple nighttime shots that made interesting use of light pollution (here and here)
― salsa shark, Wednesday, 12 January 2011 16:44 (thirteen years ago) link
In post, aside from adjusting white balance, you could try working with the color sliders in LR - drop the red and see how that affects the rest of the image, etc.?
AFAIK, there's no in-camera/exposure solution - that's why astrophotographers basically have to be in the middle of nowhere.

― caek, Wednesday, 12 January 2011 21:16 (thirteen years ago) link
Yup I did the colour sliders thing too, so it looks like I was mostly on track in my own attempts to combat light pollution. Good to know. I think I'm just hesitant to use too much photoshop/LR so I always assume I'm overdoing it. I don't know. Anyway, thanks for the suggestions various people.

This is me also, I want my shots to look as close to what I've seen as possible, the most I ever do to a shot is sharpen and saturate a little.

not_goodwin doesn't update his Flickr stream very often but, my goodness, when he does... Incredibly high quality threshold.
Almost embarrassed to post this in comparison...but we went to Clacton-on-Sea to see a man about a car and the sun came out...http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5243/5379291344_dcc5eec36f.jpg

I really need to make an effort to get out more with the camera, had a bit of a dry spell since before Christmas.
Mike, that's a gorgeous shot, nothing to be embarrassed about. To be honest, I've learn't a lot from your stream, having a nosey at peoples Exif data is quite helpful.
Thanks for the compliment btw.

OK here's a new one (not yet on flickr):
http://www.altairnouveau.com/grimace_small.jpg
I knew that I got this one right after I hit the shutter! Been feeling bold lately.
― lou reed scott walker monks niagra (chinavision!), Sunday, 30 January 2011 00:16 (thirteen years ago) link
Also I continue to be in looooove with the Olympus 35 RC. It's a great little camera, and the 42mm focal length is pretty ideal most of the time.
― lou reed scott walker monks niagra (chinavision!), Sunday, 30 January 2011 00:17 (thirteen years ago) link
But I played with a Petri Color 35 today and was a little jealous... aperture and shutter speed on separate dials on the top of the camera! Focus on a 3rd dial! You can use the whole thing with just your right hand.
