ah been oot in -9 with me D90 before



Only going out till about 9pm just 2 hours

[OpenC]

I'm January 2013 in the Look North Weather Calendar apparently.  Me mother's just been on the phone to tell me I was on Look North, and sure enough I've got an email from Paul Mooney



For this

[Haz]

It's a crackin' shot man.  I meant to ask you; is the vignetting you or the G12?

[OpenC]

Me.  It wasn't on the winning one that I sent, actually.

[Haz]

Well it's geet gud well done.

[OpenC]

Cheers man

[POOT]

A worthy winner.

A landscape with something in it for scale or POI, like yours, will always look a million times better than just a generic mountain shot (although sometime the scenery is too awesome to need it).

The climbers in that pic will mean so many different things to different people.

It's a proper photo

[OpenC]

apparently Malia said she preferred the generic Ullswater shot that someone else sent, so she's off the team with me mother

[Skirge]

Congrats man.. it is a superb photo.


Here's one from tonights testicle freezing shoot.




This one was shot on a D7000 & Tokina 11-16mm

spider in Guatemala:



a break from my normal stuff. a back lit still life shot..result of being bored at home:

[DJ_NUFC]

Vader looks lonely. Why's the last one a tad soft?

I just got back some of my b+w film stuff as well, will throw it up on here whenever I get around to it.

Skirgey, mate, you're doing some fantastic work, keep it up.

Open_C, setting the path as always, just like tmonkey

Always an inspiring thread, this one.

[Munkey]

I reduced the clarity a bit to soften the background. Would mean that it appears 'soft'. I'll try and get some company for vader...

[Keefaz]

Nice one, Skirge. I've done a fair bit of shooting round there. Some great shapes and movement going on.

[Skirge]

Many thanks.. honest that Tokina is superb for that kind of situation 11mm is a dream.. have to say mind the Nikon 24-70mm f2.8 handled the glare of the big main streets like much better but I should hope so at £1300

Over processed I know

[POOT]

The "over processing" works on those last two as there's plenty black to balance.

My favourite would be this one (just needs a slight rotation anti-clockwise IMHO ).



Oh...and I really like Munkey's Vader

[Haz]

Testicle freezing night?  Which one?

[madras]

Testicle freezing night?  Which one?

the left (shouldn't this be in the daft question thread though ?)

[Skirge]

Both it was THAT cold

[Keefaz]

Wasn't until I got back home that I realised I'd had the camera set to ISO 800 so everything's noisy as owt. Balls.

[madras]

got an idea for a shot but don't know if it's possible. from the far north west of newacstle it's possible to get a great view of simonside with cheviot and hedgehope behind, it's a view i've had the privelage of seeing on a daily basis and for me is the greatest view i'll see as it's part of me and beautiful at the same time, thing is from that distance, is it possible to take a decent photo of it ?

[Keefaz]

Sounds like something you'd need a very clear day for. Maybe a polariser/UV filter would help? Long lens would help compress space.

[Skirge]

Yeah, tripod long lens and some kind of filter to cut through the haze and all on a clear day.


Keef lovely shots mate even with he schoolboy error

[Haz]

Tremendous shots keefaz.  We've all done it!
