What camera did you use for that? ^^^

[Sup2a]

An old school Canon EOS 100 with a Canon 28-105mm and 200ISO fujifilm
Real basic but the most fun I've had with a camera.

Just random photos I took today.. No idea what I'm doing really

[thr55t]

Some shots from my recent USA holiday

[Nicko]

Sorry to be a downer but way too much HDR or at least not the correct saturation.

Other than that, not too bad on the framing

I miss Vegas... I want to go back next year

[HMRacing]

I've just moved to Melbourne and I decided to go for a roam around Richmond the other day. Seeing as I was the only one there I took a few photos of myself. These are their stories.

Hah that's awesome.

What shutter speed you using on those?

I've been kicking around with a pair of EOS 550D's for a while. One zoom lense, the other with a 50mm 1.8

But I got the bug last night and bought a second hand EOS5000 for doing some film work :)

[Ollienewc]

Ahh I think it was around half a second, in a blacked out room. Its the flash that freezes the action, as it is much quicker than the shutter can be. So I had the flash on another tripod connected to the microphone/trigger. You can change the delay after the pop too, so it takes a while to get right.
Yeah I have a 7d with a few lenses, just got a tamron 90mm macro so hopefully will be getting some nicer shots. The bug is a rather expensive one to have, my gear worth more than my car..

love it !

[takai]

Recently i got an 8mm Rokinon fisheye for ultrawide architecture stuff in Europe, and interesting converging line shots (cant wait to use it for Galerie Lafayette), but seeing as it was new I had to give it a workout.

Went down to the TCCV Cars, Coffee, and Donuts meeting last weekend and had a bit of a muck around.

Also giving LR4 a trial to see whether it can sway me away from Aperture, so please excuse some of the very cliched presets.

Always very weird shooting stuff about 20-30mm away from the object and getting so much in. Those grille shots were basically hard up against the car...

[Nicko]

Good use of the fisheye and lines. I love how those 8mm lenses don't force everything into a circle like the crappy wide angle lenses do...

My workflow is all adobe raw -> photoshop now. I wasn't that impressed with aperture. So i'm keen to hear how LR4 goes.

Nice work!

[takai]

Im still using Aperture and maybe now LR4 instead, to sort, rate, and do quick culls of stuff before exporting to PS5. It is much faster for workflow stuff, but it is an extra step in there, and im not sure which app is better for that extra step. Certainly Aperture seems to work faster and more easily, but doesnt have a lot of the nice presets which LR4 does (all of the develops above are LR4 presets).

Here is a quick copy and paste of the first few days of our trip
A few from our first day in Berlin. Editing on my nopics Air, which doesn't have a colour calibrated screen, and I'm jet lagged, so i might wake up int he morning and think that the basic crop/process which I've done is crap. Meh

01 - Berlin TV Tower

11 - Sunset
http://photo.plebeians.net/d/5397-1/IMG_6716.jpg

Considering cloning out the crane in the sunset photo, but at the same time its certainly a big part of what Berlin is at the moment. There is construction absolutely everywhere.
The light was middling today, the half hour or so when i was at the cathedral it was nice, but other than that it was either high in the sky or grey and overcast. Plus they have setup a massive temporary park/entertainment centre around Brandenburg Tor for the Euro2012 stuff, so its hard to get photos there atm :(
My feeling for the day was this overwhelming sense of gothic brooding, and so thats probably how I've subconsciously interpreted the processing, looking back. Will see what i think int he morning.

Feedback RE: levels and saturation would be good from calibrated monitors.

So i went back to these today and were pretty dissatisfied. Went through and did some processing changes but the inter webs here is being pathetic (at the hotel) so its pretty hard to upload them in bulk. Ive re-uploaded picture 11, and added a few more from today.

11 Redux, i think this is better

All taken near the Karussel, we drove up some muddy dirt road and almost got bogged and then walked in the rest of the way. Was good fun. More to come tonight from the Touristfahrten hour.

Oh yeah, almost got run into by the Bugatti Veyron SuperSport as it started turning into a side street before we had passed....

While i can't sleep due to a party going on next door i figure i may as well process a few of the photos from today.

Missed out on the sunset by half an hour or so as we were still having dinner. But really want to get one in the next few days, both from the Philosophenweg and the riverside.

Anyway, here is a short sampler of Heidelberg

Not a huge amount done to them out of camera, just a little crop/straighten and contrast adjustment.
