hehehhe - we see that a lot, and given both my wife and I are SK fans, we often comment on it

the more that I look at it though, I think I need to invest in a pol. filter - I've got one that fits my 35mm lenses (49mm diameter screw), but my digital lenses are slightly bigger at 52mm diameter.

Konev · 26th August 2008, 02:24

mmmmmmmmm fire.

dead goon · 26th August 2008, 02:27

That's hot!

Savage · 26th August 2008, 03:33

One arvo after a marathon leaf raking session; he's obsessed with climbing into the leaf pile and burrowing around, finally got one of him where he was visible.

PS: Awesome pic Konev

silva: love the 'Early morning start from Mitchell, Oregon' snap

How long did the cycle take? Interested in something similar myself

Rince · 26th August 2008, 21:47

bah - forgot about exif

1/800s at f/7, ISO200 I would have thought have been underexposed, but it's come thru really well..... one thing exif can't tell us is how much post processing was done..... konev, care to elaborate?

caffiend · 27th August 2008, 01:07

Jesus - been away for a while and some superb shots have been posted. Personal faves are most of what VERT and Fatty have posted, and Wibble's swan shot - nice stuff _b

I'm currently sifting through 6 weeks / 1,200-ish shots from my recent travels. Will take me a while, but early personal standouts are:

(Interested to know if this is too dark for most people - I can (just) see the facial features of the statue)

(So stoked to get lightning on image - my first time!)

(Kinda feel guilty about this one: it was deliberately focussed on the guy after I just noticed him at the side of what would've been a fairly bland image... I love the way he is really contemplative and almost praying. But he had no idea he was in the shot and I have no idea who he is.)

NB: The above are straight out of the camera - zero post processing other than resizing and conversion to jpg.

Ab · 27th August 2008, 01:27

I love that shot of the TV cameraman

caffiend · 27th August 2008, 01:33

Heh - cheers. The Edinburgh festival performer he was filming wasn't too shabby either

It took 79 days total, 10 rest days, 69 riding days. Averaged about 55 miles a day (90km about) including the rest days. Total was 6,789km all said and done. The route I took is called the TransAmerica (or Bike Centennial), first done in 1976. Covers 10 states: Virginia, Kentucky, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Oregon. I used a series of maps produced by adventure cycling which are awesome beause they show everything you need (mileage, directions, elevation, motels, gas, groceries etc..) I highly recommend the trip to anyone, and you don't need to be some sort of hardcore cyclist to do it, but a reasonable level of fitness is required if going East-West like me (the appalachain mountains are killer)

Adventure cycling: http://www.adventurecycling.org
My Mileage, photos etc: http://www.crazyguyonabike.com/doc/Weetbicks08
The bulk of my photos: http://www.flickr.com/photos/Weetbicks

This probably isnt the most suitable thread to be talking about this, so ichat me or msn sometime if you wanna know more, or email daniel "at" digitalfusion "dot" co "dot" nz , my ichat is danielatdf "at" mac "dot" com , or msn is weetbicks "at" hotmail "dot" com.

from EXIF, focal length = 200mm. So he's a safe distance away.

imported into lightroom then exported as the file you see.

other than contrast and B&W changes i wont do any editing.

when is the point where it is not a photo anymore but more a image showing your photoshop knowledge?

heres another one i took of the same thing, got a cool 'airbust' style effect to it.

crocos · 27th August 2008, 15:17

Redneck · 27th August 2008, 15:32

Ab · 27th August 2008, 16:02

Camera-bag inventory:

Polarising and UV filters... check.
Spare batteries... check.
Little Lucifer fire starters... check.

flic · 27th August 2008, 16:45

Keep posting peeps, this thread is quality

Cyberbob · 27th August 2008, 17:29

Very nice shots there

How much post processing? Looks like the levels have been changed a fair bit to make the colours more vivid

VERT · 27th August 2008, 18:06

Nice pics Havs

here are a couple of mine from the other weekend

ZoSo · 27th August 2008, 18:11

PS Been taking a look at some of your other deviations Havs - you're fairly liberal with the post-processing, but you've developed a nice style with it.

Magic, this is by far the best image yet. This is one of those images you only shoot a few of in your life.

Yeah, I flip flop from no Photoshop to probally too much Photoshop. Although other than the peir in Munich, you would be suprised how little I mess witht the colours.

Disagree, I think the reason it works is because it's a portrait shot. Landscape would probably break the thirds rule.

ZoSo · 28th August 2008, 13:02

A sideways or fat pier, would break my sweet desktop rule

Rocket · 28th August 2008, 13:03

havs that last picture you posted of the wharf is amazing... can i get a bigger resolution of that? that deserves to be on my wall.

Havs · 28th August 2008, 13:42

Re: Landscape shots.

Does anyone else struggle with them? I dont think ive ever shot one that I really like. Sure ive seen heaps that are cool, I just never seem to "feel" landscape shots.

Anyone else have similar issues?

TnT · 28th August 2008, 14:18

Yeah, generally with every photo I take. I'm completely in awe of the shots in here, I have nothing, and I do mean nothing, that even comes close to comparing to the bucket loads of awesome contained in here.

That said, ATM I spend way too much time working, and not nearly enough, (read virtually any), with the camera.
