The Photography Thread

Postby Axm » Mon Apr 22, 2013 8:32 pm

This is a general topic for Photography. I want to use this to talk about camera's, editing and to display works members have done.

To start, what kind of camera's/equipment do you shoot with?
How often do you shoot and what do you typically shoot when you do?
Share a photo!


I shall begin.

I shoot with a Sony DSLR the a65.
I have a standard 18-55mm f3.5-5.5 and a 50mm f1.8 prime lens for dat mad bokeh.
I shoot mostly cars as im into that scene and vacations when I get the chance, but I also take alot of pictures of the missus and of random objects.
Id like to get into some more street photography but im abit apprehensive of doing it here in the states. Once I move back to Japan at the end of the year im planing on doing mostly street photography I think.


Here is a recent shot I did a few days ago with a friend driving up to a car event.

I do have a facebook page as you can see from the watermark there. Please visit it and like the page if you want to get spammed weekly with more of my work.
https://www.facebook.com/sdcarphotos
For now its just a fun thing. And it'll probably stay that way, but it would also be cool to tie this in with work one day. Would be interesting if possible.
Anyways, I hope others do decide to post in this thread for atleast just sharing photo's and the like.

I love photography :D
That shot makes that car look MOTIONLESS! completly! not 1 pixel blurred! how you got it that perfect it way beyond me unless you used one hell of a flash :shock:
I use a canon D20 and whatever lenses wash up on the carboots :P
Unlike capturing stillness in motion I do almost the opposite, I try to paint with motion through long exposure.
I shoot whenever I have the opportunity, Photography's mah passion :P
I usual take photo's without setting up shots because If i do I feel I may miss them but I always set up at least 2 when I go out. (And jpeg is a terrible format ;) )

I enjoy taking pictures of wildlife and scenery when I go out on walks. Just a hobby though and I have no real technique yet, the camera I use is a canon sx130.

Here's a snap of a Kingfisher took just the other day.

Fully zoomed as the bugger was far away, tried getting one in flight but they're just too damn quick for me.


EDIT: Including some pictures I took in the south of France 2012.

These days it's mostly cars for me, but here's some old stuff I've done and want to do more of.

This is a shot I tried to do a year ago thats on a hill over looking the freeway by my house. Only problem is theirs a huge gate in front of where you need to shoot and so that ment I had to hold my closed tripod up in the air supported against my chest while I set a timer to hit the shutter while it's set to a long exposure. So it was pretty hard to keep it still during that. I really want to get like a ladder and mount the camera on top of it so I can get what I really wanted. While this looks artistic I guess, I know I can get something really amazing if I can get it right. Also a bonus when the sun is setting. So hopefully i'll try it again sometime.

Lets see some pictures out of anyone out there. Dont be afraid to post just cause you gots a 1.3mp camera phone.
Sometimes it's whats in the shot that counts or the composition. I know everyone out there has atleast one creative picture they've taken before.

I like nature shots like that, the 2nd and 3rd are especially pleasing. Great shots!
