Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

21-08-2011 9:05pm#1Not really looking for C&C, but welcome all comments all the same. Simply don't want to ressucitate old thread, but had said at the time I would post to show attempts, so here goes :

Good fun trying, will have to do the obligatory "water" shot (beach or river), but I like mostly the idea of some static and some moving subjects, so if I ever get a chance I'll try in a busy place.
The choice of subject here was absolutely practical as I live 2 minutes from that scene, have to say I really didn't care much for composition or interest in this case.
Exposure varied, but I think I was sort of happy with around 3 minutes at 800 iso and F8 or so. I'm not a bit technical or organised so writing them down for use later is an idea that crossed my mind and was dismissed, but I think it will come to that.
I think with trial and error I'll be able to bring down iso and increase exposure time, and improve focus (think I moved it when setting glass up). Also had a bit of light leak top and bottom thus the light line in the middle.2

The glass is flat, got it in the hardware shop for 2 euros, just a little rectangle. Having said that it's so cheap I wouldn't be surprised if they all had some defects.
I have photoshop and had to download Picasa because the Raw files from the Pentax K-x weren't read by photoshop (PEF), so I tried "fixing" them a bit, turned them b&w because they come out green with the glass, but I'm not much good with levels etc... so if I do anything else with them I lose a lot of detail, if anyone wants to have a go, feel free !
(all I do with my photoshop is sharpen and pull curves up a bit when something's too dark
. Although I did try to do a coloursplash today
(DOUBLE) and had to use a layer, mighty proud of myself for that. 0 -

... well I did get tumblers and stuff for my wedding, but haven't felt the need to photograh them yet
Kbeg 3, 125 seconds at F10 and 200 iso seems very short for me, is your glass a grade lighter I wonder ?
Must try mine again, maybe in brighter situation, I really want to try a lower iso, I pushed mine to 800 several times I think, even 1600 for one shot if I remember well.0 -

I was inspired to go out and take pictures of cows today because of the pictures.Mountainsandh wrote: »Yes Scumlord, it's like using a very dark filter, for those too mean to buy the proper one.
Ah, it's more the fun of "lifehacking"/diy-ing it than anything else really. I tried it with the UV filter but haven't had much success my camera only seems to go up to 1 minute open shutter so I've been waiting for sunny days so it's bright enough to use the UV filter. 0 -
It's fun experimenting, anyway. Yes, one minute will restrain you somehow, but as I was looking at the exif data from my pics I realized the ones above actually weren't exposed for 3 min, way less than that in fact, so you could still get the "transparent cow" effect, if these ladies will oblige with the right moves, and if your filter and exposure are right.
I was thinking sunny days are probably better for the cows thing, or warm days, since they're more likely to be a bit lazy, so you'll have some very still ones and the youngsters moving, and maybe even some lying in the grass if you're lucky. Ahhh... the thrills of photographing cows.
Now looking at what I just said, I'm thinking hhhmmm... people in a park would probably behave in similar fashion ? Oldies relaxing and sunbathing, kiddies moving... damn it, just gave away my idea :P0
