Yes another 1, err 365 that is "Still going... sort of"

I know Marc I'm really looking forward to it, its horrible being tied to such a small area because of the limits of public transport and carrying kit around, it's not going to happen overnight will probably be at least a couple of month before i get a car but I can't wait :)
 
A shot in daylight outside and not of Charlie ;)

I've got no idea what type of brid it is so if anyone can i.d. it would be appreciated.

Can't tell you what it is, but it's a good shot. :thumbs: Birds deliberately go fuzzy when I point a camera at them, I think it's a form of camouflage. :bang:

Thanks Nawty I really need to learn more about what I'm shooting, but it's hard enough learning to shoot :lol:
 
So do you have to have a re-test? Or just wait for the license to turn up?
Good bird shot, I find them frustratingly difficult :bang:
 
Cheers Cyclone as far as I know I shouldn't have to do a retest, I just have to wait and see I suppose, I really hope not main reason being the expense.
 
Considering I really didn't feel like shooting anything tonight (too tired) I'm pretty pleased with the way this turned out, it's not quite there but still quite happy with it.

Shot with 430EX on camera with the grid and the SB-800 into a silver reflector which I got on Sunday slightly behind charlie to the right also used my interfit popup background which I got off ebay last week for the first time ;)

I agree, dogs are hard to take pictures of. I can tell what charlie is thinking though.
"its him and his camera again, where's my food?"

Cheers Dave :thumbs:

Have to catch up on everybodies shots from the last few days been spending to much taking shots and messing with the lighting :)
 
Thanks Marc I'm really enjoying it, next thing I want to learn is how to get a black background without actually having a black background if you know what I mean :lol:. I've read a lot of stuff about having the background black even though it wasn't I need to do more reading I think ;)
 
Day 48's title made me think of the old Kia Ora advert....

"Its just for me and my dog!"

A boring shot today a bit too tired, can anyone guess what it is ?

Not quite mate, will leave it until later tonight to see if anyone can figure it out or find it doesn't seem to be much on google about it.
 
Both close as in it's something to do with flash but not quite there.
 
Boring shot's tonight went for a pint with a mate from work so was late getting home and am rather tired, anyway heres the answer to yesterdays apparently its a macro flash attatchment unfortunatley its pre digital and and the flash bodies I have are to big to attach to the adaptor to have the flash lay flat across the camera and lens as seen on the box.

Not to worry only cost me £8 off ebay and I think it could be used for some pretty interesting efects as each spot can be filtered independantly and it comes with coloured filters you can also have it so only one side lights. It seems to give a nice wide even spread too quite capable of lighting a portrait I think.

Yea its pretty cool for £8 should get a few hours of fun out of it, if I can come up with some ideas :lol:

fabs said:
Blimey, look at the size of that speedlight, must be the size of a house! :D

:lol: It's the new SB-100000 only thing is its not very portable and I managed to crush the camera trying to get it on the hotshoe. ;)
 
JDholic said:
I like that one Sean, does that flash come with its own generator??
Click to expand...

Runs on 800 AA batteries and on full power gives a similiar ammount of heat as a small nuclear warhead which is a bit of a downside as I keep obliterating subjects ;)
 
I really like the mixed lighting effect on the car, looks cool.
 
Decided it was wrm enough to get the Black & Decker out and do a bit of strimming today.

I really used to enjoy playing on my Xbox 360 found it a nice way to relax after a day at work but I haven't bothered with it for months now. So I bought myself a new game today and am going to have a play tonight. Shot didn't go to plan batteries were pretty much dead in the flash so it kept switching itself off, after about 15 minutes of trying I settled on this one not quite what I was after but I didn't want to wait until I charged the batteries up and mess about doing it late on tonight, Will maybe revisit it later in the year and try to get the effect I was after.

Like the idea on 51 - you can just make out its a persons head. Perhaps it would have more impact if it was mid-game :shrug:

Thanks chris I was going to do it mid game but I was using a slowish shutter speed to get the tv screen bright enough so it probably would have ended up a bit of a blurred mess, I'll give it another go when I have some life in my flashes.

fabs said:
Nice idea Sean. Could have done with just a tad more definition in your head, but I'm guessing you already knew that. ;)

Cheers Marc yeah I should have used a smaller aperture, was experimenting at the time but got a bit frustrated when the flash was not firing :lol: and I wanted to get on and have a game.
