One day i will learn how to take decent pictures and use photoshop.

[odbguy]

Don't need to take decent pics of you have photoshop!  Lol

How do you get the picture so it comes straight up rather than a link tho ?? :/

Interesting one, Kosmic. ND filter to give a long exposure time?

Yes mate. ND filter and a few others thrown on top to give me a longer exposure. Then a bit of Photoshop to replace the bush in the foreground.

This was today 23rd, Costa Blanca near a village called Planes, a regular ride me and my mates do. The roads are just in great condition. Mid week is best time to ride them as over the week end all the nutters are out, loads of bikers come to grief here. If you do get it wrong in some places it can be a few hundred metres straight down, now that would hurt.

Did an exercise on Otterburn ranges with 230 sqn (Puma helicopters). We were lucky with the weather, warm and sunny for the 2 weeks we were there. The cabs were taking pongos out among the moors to play soldiers, and we sat in deck chairs on the makeshift helicopter landing strip drinking cold cans of Coke as they came slogging back in at the end - should've joined the Air Force! 
 
Anyone who's seriously into landscape photography, did you see Countryfile tonight? A short feature on Colin Prior, one of the best in the subject, and showed some of his work from the Scottish Highlands. Well worth checking him out if you haven't already. A master at making best use of light in the landscape.

This is one of my favourites - no filters, no messing, just pure Mother Nature - taken by my wife at Moab in Utah, out on the slick-rock

[Millietant]

And this - from Mammoth Springs in Yellowstone - again, all Mother Nature, no filters, special lenses etc, just a wierd Sky (the storm came and went in 20 mins) - but that's not snow, it was still really hot that day (clear blue skies either side of the rainstorm.

Bryce Canyon rock formations after millions of years of rain weathering - you can get a measure of the scale from the pine tees in the bottom left corner of the photo.

And a naturally formed "statue" - said to be the leader of the Fookawi Indian tribe.

Apparently, he lead his people into the desert and when he got to that point, he looked out over his new land and declared "We're the  Fookawi"

Mont St Michel, just off the northern coast of France.

Some nice shots there Millietant. I'm always in two minds about use of filters, photoshop effects etc when it comes to natural landscapes. I think the best ones are just unadulterated, if you have the right conditions, and the camera remains true to it. All mine are just as the camera took them, although there are instances when a little modification wouldn't go amiss.


I think I need more clarity in my pics more than anything; a camera that gives a more sharply defined result. Perhaps it could be achieved with photo software, but having a better quality camera seems the best way to start, as I really didn't think I'd get so into it when I bought mine, believing I just wanted one for happy snaps.

[Millietant]

My wife's camera is a Nikon D80 - it was a present a few years ago from a family member about 6 years ago - I think it's a pretty good one (she said at the time that she'd never that much on a camera herself)


Liz has learned about the settings, but she says all of her best pictures have been taken on full auto settings.
