As long as you're no more than a few metres from the camera most flashes will usually do for a fill flash :)Quote:

I'm really getting the hang of this panning malarkey now when taking motorsport photos. :) :D
I remember trying to take a picture of a car at Donington and I had to press the shutter when the car was still a way down the track as it took about 2 seconds for the camera to take the picture! This was a while ago now mind.
I've had my camera since Christmas and I'm still learning all the features it has, although one it doesn't have is image stabilisation, which I'm thinking would be useful as I'm always taking pictures from a car or more often while walking along.
Does anyone have a camera with digital image stabilsation, and does it work?
My lens has an image stabiliser but I don't use it very much because it messes up action photos. If you're following a moving object with your camera, the image stabiliser is trying to freeze the image that you're taking which often ends up blurring the picture.
Image stabilising can be useful though for a night time shot when you don't have a tripod with you, or for taking a still image on a windy day, so it's a good feature to have.
I don't really take pictures of moving images so much, in fact it's usually me that's moving, both through either walking along, or more often just my hands shaking (too much coffee :D :p ).
Night mode pictures are a big problem, you have to hold the camera still for quite a while, on some occasions I've found that a good result is only possible while resting the camera on a solid object. It typically results in shots like this

Yeah, to get a night time shot like that you're probably needing a half-second exposure, in which time your hand will move quite a bit and distort the image. Resting the camera on something is just as good as having a tripod, provided you can find a level surface.
Would a camera with a higher ISO be able to capture the image using a shorter exposure time? The EXIF data on that photo says 2 second exposure, ISO speed 64.
Definitely.Quote:

ISO 800 might have let you get something usable if slightly "soft" and probably quite grainy because you're using a compact :)Quote:

My fave pictures that I have taken are these:
and this one :
Good work Iain, those Lurgan Park shots are great! :up:
nicemms, both your photos look like familiar places, but it's difficult to be sure. The first one reminds me of Rangitoto Island near Auckland in New Zealand. The second one looks like Inverness, the capital of the Scottish Highlands, looking down the river from the main bridge in the town centre, but I don't recall the two church spires on the right. Am I anywhere close with either?
Now this just sucks: I have a Mount Everest on one of my knuckles and I don't even get to take a picture of it because I have no camera! :mad: I'd never seen so cool swelling before! :D
I actually took a picture of Mt Everest 2 yrs ago.....from Sikkim , let me search for it ;)
Here's one of mine :Quote:

I'll put a couple more on later, imageshack has just had a fit on me :(
The first one is Mount Vesuvius, from Sorrento. The second one is indeed Inverness! I think I took it from the main bridge that crosses the river.Quote:

Another ancient thread.
Last posted on 2 years before I joined. wow
I am going to Silverstone for Friday of the British GP and only have a decent camera (rather than a brilliant one) but I always enjoy taking photos.
I take loads and normally end up with some that I can enjoy. They are not great by others standards but I give it a Go.
If I take any good ones I will post some maybe.
Photography is the best business to do i am a professional photographer and doing this business from 6 to 7 years actually there are many photographers who are doing this business and making their own ways photography
I have only begun taking photo's over the last couple of years, and haven't got very good at it yet but I have a flickr page with a couple of Albums on it.
I have one which is railways, one which is my local town and a motorsports one. Most of the motorsport photos were from my first few goes at taking photo's so are not great, but now my foots almost mended I am determined to get back into the swing this year.
My motorsport Album.

Was browsing through my photo album and came across this one where I was experimenting with a macro lens on some pansies in a flower pot on my back porch:

Same macro lens, as I was dancing trying to follow this soap bubble (from one of my kids :) ) floating along.

I have been searching my photos so bare with me.
For some reason it comes up small, but you can click for a larger version

I'm not good at taking pictures and I have the cheapest camera on the market. But nobody can stop my joy to take photos.
Here's the one that best describes myself:

Not gone quite yet, but it won't be too many more years.Quote:
