Photographic diary of a troll

Fin.

Amazing.
I loved the ones with the Bees and the one with the orb thing

 

[Qonfused]

Cool collection! I really enjoyed the road ones.

 

[Kadayi]

Easy on the saturation there buddy. Otherwise some nice shots. What camera are you using and more importantly are you shooting using RAW?

 

[DEATHMASTER]

Great collection.

The bee chased me after the photo.

Cool collection! I really enjoyed the road ones.

Those were taken up Doneside, I'm pretty sure I took ones of Corgarff castle now I think of it but they aren't there. it was a pretty memorable view so I remember it and taking of photo's of it quite clearly.

One of those photo's was taken on a road looking south-east in the Feugh valley.

If the colours aren't burning your retina's then your not doing it right. :V

Coincidently I am using a Nikon D60.

Great collection.

Thank you.


Edit: A few mwoar!.

Initially left out because they were in other folders for being either phone camera doohickers or for some obscure reason at the time not deemed worthy of my photography stash.

My sister was visiting the day I got those photo's from the Linn of Dee, took a shit ton of photo's on her phone's camera.

Some nice photos there. I agree with Qonfused - the road ones are the best. And I also like the one with the red flowers.

BTW I LOLed at the "low gear now" sign.

Low gear. Nao.

I just dial it back a little, your losing the transitions in the brightness.

Camera choice of champions

TL;DR

(See what I did there)

For some reason, I could tell you were in the UK just from what kind of fence you have. Very nice. The photos I mean, not the fence.

Yes because it's not like he could have done most of these with a p&s.

Some of the flower macros are shakey. Settings?

 

[gFrohman]

Love these. Want moar.
8> 8> the cat pictures.

Its a good camera, what's your malfunction?

Because honestly every photo thread in every noob photo forum eventually degrades to camera debates, when it almost never matters. I'm not accusing you of anything, it just irks me every time the thread is ultimately derailed by 'lol noobs using d40/50/60/xti/xsi' or 'har har har aren't we superior than those mere p&s mortals.'

A good make of camera certainly won't turn you into excellent photographer, but a good camera (and a decent lens) will go some way towards helping you achieve good results (90% of photography is what happens in the darkroom). Principally if you are shooting digital though, you should always shoot using your Cameras native RAW format, rather than opting for JPEG simply because if you need to make adjustments in the digital darkroom of Camera Raw/Photoshop/Lightroom or Aperture the RAW format provides you with a much richer tonal range to work from.

With an 8 bit tonal range of only 255 shades from black to white (Vs 16 bit RAW with over 64000 shades) a Jpeg will lose quality and structure after very little manipulation of levels/curves is Photoshop. Ideally you should keep your working images at 16bit for long as possible and only downgrade them to 8bit when you have carried out all your adjustments and have a final image.

Sure a D60 or D40 costs a bit more than a happy snappy, but if you want rich images that you can really work into creatively, then they are worth the extra expenditure.

Don't mind me, just dropping off some photo's, then you can continue to argue.

That is all.

I just stopped there.

Take it you've never developed your photos yourself then? Set up your composition? Tested out the exposures? Tried different filters? Burned in certain areas?

I like to think of it as educating Nuri. Anyway more importantly you are shooting in Camera RAW I hope?
