Well me and the girlfriend took a walk around the village she lives in, I managed to get some pics!

Messing around with HDR still have to tweak the colors though

 

[breakpoint]

For some reason i really like doing pictures of stuff like this

 

[speedy_2]

They Blue's are back home here in Pensacola and they've started their weekly practices. There will be 4 practices this week. Then they'll leave for the air show in Corpus Christi, TX.

Almost overcast today though.

Here are some of my latest. I just went out into the garden with one of my dogs and he sat there watching me take photos for a while. So I tried to take some of him. I pretended there was some food just under the lens so he would look directly at me, in the end he would just stare at the camera whenever I called his name!

Anyway here are the shots;

One of me;

Wow moglet, nice shots. What camera are you using?? I really like the dog shot!

 

[tait]

Thanks! I'm using a Nikon D50, all of these were taken with the standard kit lens.

mog, always love your shots. awesome work.

Thanks antihero, it means a lot coming from such a good source of inspiration. 👍

Good stuff speedy. I'm guessing you were zoomed in pretty far for those shots - must have been tricky keeping the camera on target.

Thanks. And yes it does get tricky panning something that's moving at 400MPH. lol.

 

[35mm]

@Moglet and speedy: great shots! 👍

@skylineGTR_guy: what program are you using for those HDRs?

 

[speedy_2]

A few hand held shots tonight with my newly acquired Sigma 30mm f/1.4

 

[tait]

Damn speedy, I'm jealous.

Some randoms, expect a super post soon. My brother is up and being the people we are, abandoned buildings are being explored and photographed to their fullest extend.

 

[exigeracer]

anti - I feel that there is just a little bit too much missing in the last picture...

 

[tait]

What, like you mean there should be more empty space?

 

[Perfect Balance]

I think he means there is too much empty space. The picture is basically a picture of the sky, without the sky being interesting in the first place. My eyes are drawn to the objects in the picture, which I'm guessing was what you tried to achieve, but there isn't much to look at down there either.

 

[tait]

So more empty space is what I'm hearing?

 

[Roo]

speedy: Blue Angels: What can I say? 👍 The speedo one I like too.

Moglet: I like the padlock one. The others are good too.

anti: Less empty space in the last one. It's mostly cloudy sky; it comes across as if you ment to take a picture of the buildings and slipped, ending up with some cloudy sky.
Looking forward to the superpost

A couple of shots taken at a car show I attended with the Mini club yesterday:

 

[CDailey]

I think he means more industrial type buildings down at the bottom. Either way I like it.

 

[exigeracer]

Yeah, there's too much of the refinery (?) cropped out, it looks wrong.

 

[speedy_2]

A local cruise-in I went to this afternoon. Of course I used the 10-22mm for most of these shots. But, I broke out the 30mm on a few ;D

Taken with the 10-22mm

Taken with the 30mm

I like the first image of the mini's, very sharp picture. Perfect white balance:tup:
Speaking of white balance, has anyone used an expo disk before? If so how did it do, thinking of buying one soon.

 

[skylineGTR_guy]

@Moglet and speedy: great shots! 👍

@skylineGTR_guy: what program are you using for those HDRs?

I use photomatix, works tons better than PS IMO due to tone mapping

pics from formula Drift up soon

 

[tait]

I'm confused, you guys want more empty space? Make it clear what you're getting at.

we want less empty space more of the buildings

 

[exigeracer]

yeaaaaah,

 

[tait]

You guys are weird, you keep asking for more empty space but I can't give anymore.

Awesome shots Speedy.

Here is some random photos I have taken

Some sunrises and sunsets

My Dad's '00 Formula

Driving down the back stretch at Road Atlanta on Track Day

Camaro Concept at the Atlanta Itnl. Auto Show

I was using my crappy little 3mp HP Camera when I took all of these photos. I would love to get me a nice SLR someday.

 

[Joey D]

The sunset pictures are pretty nice and the Camaro one is a neat angle. Pretty good for only have a 3MP camera. I'm with you though, I'd love to have a nice SLR.
