Got a new camera from my parents :)

I took a crack at some long exposures using bulb exposure using a wireless shutter release. This was exposed at 83 seconds at F/22.

I love long exposures, everything to do with night time, the dark, sunrise and sunset.

 

I like to take pictures mainly at night , sometimes during the day and in dull and fading light and I will sometimes display the time and date the picture was taken too.

 

I tend to take pictures of Light trails, Motorway traffic, Street lights, Buildings, Landscapes, Bokeh, Night bokeh and Hexagonal Night Bokeh in and around the North East of England.

 

All of my pictures are 100% natural and untouched in every way without ever been Photo shopped or altered or messed about with in anyway whatsoever, No multi layered photography, No HDR's and No image manipulation of any kind, all of my pictures look just the way they did when I saw them at the time of taking and I'm VERY PROUD of that.

 

I don't do any photo processing at all, I don't even own any photo software.

 

All of my starbursts are all 100% natural without using any filters or anything else, as is all my bokeh, night bokeh and hexagonal night bokeh, its all natural, no funny gimmicks at all.

 

I don't do anything with my pictures apart from take them and then upload them , 99.99999% of my pictures don't even get cropped , they are all 100% natural and untouched and then uploaded.

On the evening of Monday, April 4, 2011, the Space Needle was lit in red and white in support of donations to help the Japan earthquake and tsunami victims after last month's devastation. Kerry Park, Seattle, Washington. I wish for a clean and quick recovery for Japan, the amount of lives lost and devastation was tremendous, very sad. This is a great thing they are doing here.

First, I'd like to dedicate this post to my wife. Today, we have been married 10 years. She is my rock. She supports all my crazy endeavors and still loves me!

 

On my last (very eventful) trip up to Mossbrae Falls, I brought my 1950 Rolleiflex 120 film camera. I haven't shot film for at least a year or two, so it was fun to break out the film and make some exposures. I chose to bring a medium format camera, as I love the square format.

 

It is amazing how the basic principles of photography have remained rock solid through the years. Sure, technology has made photography more convenient, and refined the equipment, but you can still make amazing images with really old cameras... images that rival (and sometimes best) photos from the top digital SLRs today. It is one (of the many) things about photography that is refreshing.

 

I combined technology a bit on this, and scanned the negative with my flatbed scanner and processed the image digitally. I love printing images in the darkroom, but I just didn't make the time to do it for this roll. The film required a bit more sharpening than most of my images from my 5DmkII. The Rollei doesn't have a light meter, so I used some readings from my digital camera for a starting point. I also have an external light meter that works well for the Rollei. I am used to the quick and easy digital world, and what I like about film is that it requires me to slow down, compose, and shoot in a much more relaxed way.

 

Be sure to click on the image or press "L" to view this on a darker background, as the white background makes this look a little under exposed.

“In the eighteenth century illegal trade in England grew rapidly, huge volumes of contraband were landed on the southern coasts of England. I have made images in two caves along the Dorset coastline where there is evidence of this once happening. These places have transformed over the hundreds of years since they were used for these purposes. Rocks have fallen, the coastline has changed, but these caverns have remained.”

This picture was taken with a Canon T1i and EF 50mm f/1.8 lens, in sports mode and with a wireless shutter release. The photo was cropped down a bit. Originally the truck was more in the middle of the photo and you could see more of the road in front of the truck. Which was nice because I felt that it gave direction but the subject/truck diminished.

 

The goal was to capture the truck mid slide with it's dust cloud backlit by the low slung sun in the sky. However the sun ended up passing through a overcast haze as it got closer to the horizon, which ended up blowing out the sky completely and not giving me the sharp contrasts I was looking for. I took around a hundred photos on this outing and only the one turned out decent. It was a learning experience.

 

Paperbark: I've had this shot in mind for a few years; it's over near my Hairdresser, not on any of our walks! Anyway had all the right gear, tripod etc. but the wind decided to blow as I was setting up and, of course, all the bark was waving about, so what to do?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

...I cranked the shutter up to 1/160 sec. from 1/30 sec. found a reasonably flat section for the f/4 aperture and focused on the holes which seemed like a good idea, as the are, more or less on the same plane, and what you see is what you get! I'll do this again sometime.

Guo Jia Da Ju Yuan (National Centre for the Performing Arts) in Beijing is also called "The Egg".

Constructed from Titanium and Glass, and surrounded by an artificial lake, and located close to Tian'anmen Square & the Forbidden city.

 

Construction took 6 years to complete, the first concert being held in December 2007.

 

Having never been there, an impressive place to visit...

A fun theme this week as we start a four part "story" with the remaining chapters spread throughout the rest of the year. I'm very excited about this challenge I think it will be fun to see how my initial idea changes over the months between chapters.

This is the AGFA Silette and various accessories, many are generic for other makes also.

My wife's Valentines Day Bouquet was just begging for some golden hour back lighting. I wanted to display the softer side of light and the way it transitions from highlight to shadow in such a short distance.

I made this shot using my 50mm f/1.8 with a 36mm extension tube.

The title refers to a quote of sport photographer telling that if you see the action through the viewfinder you have already missed it, because it means at least the mirror of your camera was in front of the sensor :-) ... the hand in the frame belong to Stephen instead the guy walking is Neil.

 

Of course Stephen did not miss it ;-)

This weekend saw the peak of the Perseid Meteor Shower (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perseids) This was taken during a star trails exposure of the MilkyWay over a marker for the Pony Express Trail in Utah's West Desert. (www.expeditionutah.com/featured-trails/pony-express-trail... - See #110) I used a Sigma 10-20mm on a Nikon D7000 at iso1600.

Photograph taken at 16:26pm on Saturday 25th May 2013 off Botany Road and Foreness Close, along the top of the cliffs above Botany Bay, the Northern most of seven bays in Broadstairs, Kent, England.

  

Watching the seagulls catch the updrafts and fly seemingly for the sheer joy of doing so, is hugely enjoyable and addictiove. Here I employed Nikon's Continuous focus mode and 3D tracking with 51 autofocus points to assist the D800, not known for high speed capabilities, in capturing the fast sweeping birds in flight.

  

The seven bays are (from south to north) Dumpton Gap, Louisa Bay, Viking Bay, Stone Bay, Joss Bay, Kingsgate Bay and Botany Bay. This view looks from Kingsgate Bay into Botany Bay. I have so many happy childhood memories of Botany Bay, and love to spend time here walking and photographing in the footsteps of those memories.

"Based on the X-700 chassis, Minolta later launched the cheaper models X-300 and X-500. The X-500 lacked the X-700's program exposure mode, but featured a fill-in flash mode. The X-300 was the basic model of the late X-series. It lacked TTL flash metering and program exposure mode, it did not show the f-stop-setting of the lens in the viewfinder and it did not have a depth-of-field control button. Basic parts of all three cameras, i.e. shutter, viewfinder, mirror system, and light metering system were identical."

Explore #178 - April 15, 2009 - Thank you! (1st post from new D90 made it in!)

According to Scout this is my #201st image to be selected for Explore.

 

This is the first photo uploaded from my new camera! I received it around 1:30 yesterday (Tuesday) and put it into service as soon as possible!

 

Thank you all for your comments and condolences on my old friend's demise - I will send it off for repairs today - maybe it will be a good second, a camera for my daughter or seen on Ebay in the near future!

 

Any bids from my Flickr peeps will be considered!

Photograph taken in the Golden Hour around sunset at 19:07pm on Thursday May 25th 2013 off Botany Road and Foreness Close, along the Golden sands and rocky shoreline of Botany Bay, the Northern most of seven bays in Broadstairs, Kent, England. The seven bays are (from south to north) Dumpton Gap, Louisa Bay, Viking Bay, Stone Bay, Joss Bay, Kingsgate Bay and Botany Bay. This view looks from Kingsgate Bay into Botany Bay.

  

There is something about the Golden hour that produces the most wonderful intensity of light and colour, amplified by the reflections from the wet sand as the tide began to stroke the coastline upon her return. A gentle stroll before the hour long drive back home, what more could a man ask for.

Montreux is the main resort of the so-called Swiss Riviera, lying between Lausanne and Villeneuve. Montreux was home to many famous writers, musicians and artists like Charlie Chaplin, Freddie Mercury, Ernest Hemingway and Lord Bryon.

 

From Wikipedia :

 

Deep Purple made Montreux famous with their song "Smoke on the Water"

 

“We all came out to Montreux on the Lake Geneva shoreline / To make records with a mobile - We didn't have -much time / Frank Zappa & the Mothers were at the best place around / But some stupid with a flare gun burned the place to the ground / Smoke on the water, fire in the sky”

 

The lyrics of the song tell a true story: on December 4, 1971, Deep Purple had set up camp in Montreux to record an album using a mobile recording studio (rented from the Rolling Stones and known as the Rolling Stones Mobile Studio - referred to as the "Rolling truck Stones thing" and "the mobile" in the song lyrics) at the entertainment complex that was part of the Montreux Casino (referred to as "the gambling house" in the song lyric). On the eve of the recording session a "Frank Zappa" and "The Mothers of Invention" concert was held in the casino's theatre. During the gig a fire broke out: "In the middle of Don Preston's synthesizer solo on 'King Kong', the place suddenly caught fire. Somebody in the audience had fired a flare gun into the ceiling, at which point the rattan covering started to burn",[1][2] as mentioned in the "some stupid with a flare gun" line. The resulting fire destroyed the entire casino complex, along with all the Mothers' equipment. The "smoke on the water" that became the title of the song (credited to bass guitarist Roger Glover, who related how the title occurred to him when he suddenly woke from a dream a few days later) referred to the smoke from the fire spreading over Lake Geneva from the burning casino as the members of Deep Purple watched the fire from their hotel across the lake.

 

For the fans of Hemingway, Montreux was a haven for Catherine Barkley and Lt. Frederic Henry in the classic, A Farewell to Arms.
