Holy Knights of Columbus! Now that's how you do Fireworks photography

Very nice stuff VERT.

Looks like no EXIF info - care to share your settings for those?

Sam · 6th November 2008, 13:03

Nice work

I too would be interested in the settings you used

iiiiinteresting. I would have thought that with such a long exposure, you'd get the light streams waving all over the place

I think if my shots were any longer than 30 seconds I would have had that issue

nice work caff, and others - I'm processing mine atm, not got the olds coming to stay tomorrow night, so have to get the house in order first

hopefully will have some pics up soon

Ab · 7th November 2008, 03:14

Awesome shots Vert

Rince · 9th November 2008, 17:58

my attempt from Wednesday night (more available at my FB page):

Shazam · 11th November 2008, 09:48

a couple of recentish ones~

caffiend · 11th November 2008, 10:06

Cool effects and creative - especially the focus/attention drawn to 'mind the gap'; but a little 'over-processed' for my personal tastes. And now I can't get that stupid 'mind the gap' voice out of my head...

Rince - nice shots. The bottom works well at the cropping ratio. The sparklers one is cool, but perhaps could use some of the black-space cropped out? If you have enough resolution I'd almost be keen to see what a larger version would look like closely cropped to the light effect on the left, maybe a panoramic crop just as wide and high as it is...

lektronimo · 11th November 2008, 11:03

Shazam: first photo... is that taken from flats off Lonsdale Rd, near Barnes and Hammersmith?

sv · 11th November 2008, 11:45

in the above i was shooting a heritage building on a street corner and using the reflections in the windows and the mirror on the dresser to build up the layers. in the shot with the frame there's the colonial/victorian interior, the suburban street outside, and the faint mountain and treeline in the background is part of the painting itself. so there's 3 periods overlapping in the one shot... i thought it was interesting anyhow.

teehee...

Shazam · 11th November 2008, 11:58

lek: nah, york road, battersea

I'll see what I can do... crappy resolution of FB hosting though....

my mum likes the middle best of all teh shots I took, so I thought I'd upload that one especially for her

Shazam · 11th November 2008, 13:21

If you chucked them up on Flickr you can just crop on the fly~

crocos · 11th November 2008, 22:53

Rince: Use DropBox (but don't put it in the Pictures folder as it makes the resolution is facebook-like - create a seperate folder under the "public" one)

SV: Even the dog is bored with him! On the others, it's an interesting technique, especially the first shot.

Do you have a CPL filter for your lens? That'd be an easy way to mostly eliminate the reflection if you want to get more detail internally.

Cyberbob · 11th November 2008, 22:56

Hopefully this is more of a photographers question than a camera one.

Whats the best/easiest/quickest way to get a watermark on every picture in a lightroom export?

There's a small totally uncustomisable copyright option in LR 2.1, but it doesnt allow for graphic watermarks.

I've seen some people do post process actions to open up Photoshop and perform an automated action that's prerecorded earlier, but that seems like an awful lot of work.

Rince · 11th November 2008, 23:26

here's a 1024 x whatever image (I went with the flickr account idea).....
(original image is 3008x2008 & this crop was 1801x553, but flickr forced it to the 1024 x whatever

)

is that the sort of thing you had in mind?

Rince · 11th November 2008, 23:31

hmmmm.... started to read more about DropBox.... sounds pretty cool

Might have to take a closer look

caffiend · 11th November 2008, 23:42

Yeah, I think it's more how I would crop it; but it's a shame it's not quite as 'crisp' as it could be at that res. I've actually realised that I saw the original version above on my work CRT, which is clearly so badly calibrated that I didn't even realise there was a silhouetted figure and blue sky which I now see on my home LCD (my work monitor is way too dark).

Interesting to have a play with various crops though. Sometimes you get a very different image to the original.

Wibble · 12th November 2008, 05:08

A few quick holiday snaps

That's Prague, isn't it? Lucky bugger - I've been there twice but utterly love it. A photography fan's dream location. I have a few shots I like of it (most from when I had a 3.2 megapixel Canon S1-IS unfortunately), but they don't do the place justice like yours do. Very nice work.

Is the middle shot from the Petrin Tower?

signed up.... looks encouraging

VERT · 14th November 2008, 11:36

Full moon last night

crocos · 14th November 2008, 12:20

Yep, will have to sort through the photos I took last night and see if there's anything decent.

Full moon + really low in the sky = awesome.

Rince · 14th November 2008, 12:25

lens flare! lens flare!

(where's Axi when you need him?)

crocos · 14th November 2008, 12:30

Hah, fully lens-flare. You get that a fair bit when shooting the moon.

VERT · 14th November 2008, 13:46

yeah not sure what to do about the flare.

Also need to get my sensor cleaned

Who do you get that done through? Go to Canon directly, or is there someone else?

caffiend · 14th November 2008, 16:10

I presume you all have one of these: http://www.the-digital-picture.com/R...r-Review.aspx?

Awesome - and there are cheaper 'rip-off' brand versions available from the likes of WPS. Not 'cleaning' per se, but I've used my one several times to cure dust specks.

VERT · 14th November 2008, 17:31

yeah I got to get myself a rocket blower, I had been using a lint free cloth in the past but its not getting everything now

So liquids & oils starting to build up then. Pro-cleaning service FTW in that case.
