The Photography Thread

[gingerjon]

I've seen people with pictures no where near the quality of yours making money from it.

Gits.

I've been turned down from a stock photo library - which is fair as I don't take that kind of photo. And the local media are (being very kind) somewhat inept when handling submitted images - even the local union team can't get their shots in!

If you have any other suggestions let me know!

Merry Christmas everyone.

Here's a few from my xmas lunch.

[gingerjon]

Very good, Mr Tiger, as ever.

I will leave all comments about how classy an aussie Christmas looks to other posters.

Anyway, photography-wise, Santa's bulging sack brought forth two items: a years membership of the Photographers' Gallery and some Jessops vouchers which I think will go on this item:

One more from xmas lunch. I just noticd the bubbles in this bottle of whatever the hell it is. Always nice when you see something in a pic that you didn't the first time and didn't intend to capture.

And just one more, not from xmas day but from xmas eve. The wrapping of presents, as performed by my sister on this occasion.

Great pics ECT. Are the colours messed about with in post-production because they are very vibrant.

Sometimes I'll saturate certain colours to make them brighter but with these I didn't - didn't need to. I did them all really quickly this morning so it was just a quick crop, lighten/darken and sharpen for all of them. It was just lucky it was a sunny day and a nice, bright room that allowed in plenty of natural light, which is all that was used. No flash, no tungsten - just good light and plenty of bright, Christmassy things.

Just so you can see I've been using my time productively

Came across this fella on the way home from the coast.

What's going on? This thread was at the bottom of page 2. Is everyone in old blighty too cold to take photos?

Anyway as a way of a BUMP and to remind evryone that's it's summer here, here's a couple of generic shots from last night's water polo games.

Really must put mine on soon. I have just found my pictures from Rhode Island some good whale pictures.

I bought the Jessop's own make version of this last week.

decent piece of gear.

That would be the next lens I'd (at least want to) get were I to buy one.

In the end, so did I. A Jessops 360AFD and I've had good fun with it so far. Still a long way off really controlling the light properly but even at its most basic it's a great improvement over the pop-up flash.

ECT - it's a tremendous lens to have. The version I've had would cost

All it needs is Jonathan Davies goingn "bang!" over the top of it.

Like it a lot!

I don't if anyone is aware of this, but it becomes illegal to photograph a police officer as from tomorrow, punishable by up to 10 years apparently.

So don't do it.

[gingerjon]

It's an extension of the already suitably vague 'material useful to a terrorist' bit the coppers already use when they're bored.

Bus timetables are useful to a terrorist but I've yet to see the Stagecoach press office harrassed by British Transport Police.

FFS. What about when they're off duty? What about plain clothed or under-cover cops in the middle of a public street? I guess to be safe you can't photograph anyone now.
