November Photo Thread..

A bit of a rushed shot that I took at lunchtime today:

Messing about near the river...

That place has changed loads since I lived in the area. If it wasn't for the M&S give away that last shot could be anywhere in Western Europe other than London. Lunatics sitting outside in November. Is that because of the smoking ban or, do people really think they're in some modern type Euro city in September?

Really like No. 2
Also, No.4

Haven't posted in a bit, so here's something recent that's going to form part of a larger project about people photographing London..

Figure that I might crop it a bit though, or perhaps use one of the other shots I've got with a shallower DOF..

 

[baffled]

First shots I have taken in about 3 months so excuse the self indulgence

A touch soft in places but as it was a challenge to just stay upright I think they aren't too bad.

Was good to get the camera out again though I need to sort a new monitor asap as processing on the laptop is a pain in the arse

some from yesterdays shoot in the studio

Model - Me
lighting - me
focusing - me
shutter pressing - Tom lol

 

[Firky]

Yeah, the ground should be sloped so the building is straight. I quite like the effect though.

Here's another shot from tonight's walk home.

Smart! Can't help but think there's too much of the structure on the left - making it heavy, I'd of included a bit more to the right - but that is me. I like it though. Stands out on this thread for me.

Great shots, like the lighting a lot.

Yeah I agree with you about it being a bit busy on the left, I was on my way home from work when I took this so it was a bit rushed. I'm planning to go back with a tripod and torch (I nearly ended up in the river trying to get a better angle ) to try this again and maybe find some different angles.
.

Here's another shot from tonight. Not sure if I like it or not, I might have another go at processing it later.

I like cybertects images but London, all of the uk in fact, is becoming very neon and bladerunner like.. here i begin the campaign against primate change a return back to who we were and our earth..

Possibly true enough. Mind you, Gothic revivalists like Pugin said pretty much the same kinds of things about neo-Classical architecture in the 19th century.

 

[neonwilderness]

Keep Out.

Err..whatever.


Boring, I'm afraid. They lack any compostional interest.
IMO, of course.

I really like these, been meaning to go out in that area too to take some shots but haven't had time yet.

 

[girasol]

so I went for an autumnal photographic walk today and I spotted this tree:

I'm not a big fan of Lord of the Rings but I remember the walking trees, did they have a name? That photo reminds me of them.

more trees:

They were called Ents. I can see the similarity too.

I had the camera out with me shooting the other night and I wanted to try and get some of the colours in the sky, It was a full moon and the light bleed from Avonmouth was mental. SO a mixtureof fiddling with camera settings and having to adjust the brightness up a bit, in photoshop this is how they turned out.

Oh and it was past midnight and pitchblack

you miss the humour have you had the humour by pass operation, i wonder, but being serious go hug a tree, youre spending far too much time in the urbanparanoia..

You've lost me, mate

Here's one I took in the local park yesterday. I desaturated the background to highlight the artist (Lucie Smailes) and her work.

Is this sort of thing (buggering about with colour etc) frowned upon by proper photographers? It just makes this photo work better for me, but I get the impression it's not 'the done thing'.

Mate I'm with you. I know that mesing about with the pic colours etc detracts from its original and it probably should be classed more as Artistic then photographic. And proper photographers may frown upon it.

But in my book I think it give novices like me a chance to take a good picture without needing thousands of pounds worth of equipment and grabs my interest so that I'm keen to knwo more. And I can work on composing the picture to what I see as the best shot and then clean it up later without having to worry about getting all the settings correct.

I think it no more detracts from photgraphy then having an automatic setting on your camera.

Mind you I am a newbie and a novice so I'm sure a proper photographer will put me right

A quick but nonetheless pretty camerphone shot:

I think it works very well in that photo - but I'm not a 'proper' photographer so my opinion is based purely on instinct

Well, here's the pictures used for a college project.. I produced a postcard book of people photographing London basically..

Admittedly they do look better on paper..
