Thought i'd pick this up off page 2

Full moon tonight, saw a few hairy people running around outside

.........but decided to try and snap the moon instead. Using a fairly crap bit of glass for this sort of thing but still came out better than i expected.

Thanks, was messing about while having a pint lol.

Mr.T

Here's one from me. The weather is getting better. Just looking for some damn spare time to make more pics

out of curiousity,

what price is a good slr?

how easy to master the techniques and settings?

cheers

Mr.T

Just clicking away in the std option is always easy. Taking good photo's is a learning proces. Some are faster then others. Its not just pushing the button. Sometimes i think that most people just buy a slr and think that they can make good pics.

Red16

A decent DSLR camera can be had for Ł250-400 brand new, cheaper if you can find good condition used ones. Anything from the likes of Canon/Nikon is what i'd recommend, before splashing the cash it'd be worth holding all the cameras and seeing which one youre comfortable with.

As for mastering the techniques and settings, this will take years of practice if you ever actually do, but to start taking decent photos and learn the basic principles shouldnt take too long, all depends on the individuals ability, creativity and how much they read and take in imo.

Just remember there are loads of websites out there with free information on anything you could possibly get stuck on or not full understand, and that there is no rush, just get out there and enjoy the camera, things will fall into place sooner than you think. Go back to the early pages in this thread, lots of techniques and hints have been discussed already

Red16

Been messing around with some old photos this afternoon using a program called Photomatix Pro 3, the image was made using a single RAW file which was then converted and tone mapped using Photomatix. Im pretty happy with the result apart from the washed out clouds

Allyc85

Shame about the sky but I like the 3D effect its had on the car, really stands out from the pic

StephenC

Tone mapping is so addictive Ben! If the sky doesnt float your boat Id just blend the old one over it and give it a bit of a contrast boost or maybe even a grad over it to help bring it into the same style as the taxi, sorry, saphire.

Red16

I would do all that if i knoew how to do it, lol... one day... one day!

Couple more from todays HDR / tone mapping session... hope you like them

Marsden rock and the beach early winter morning
