Nice shots P_B, im still taking pictures but havnt been taking that many lately as i've been quite busy with various things.
What lighting did you use for that first shot rcTom, it looks good. Your first red arrows shot looks like it would be awesome with a bit of levels work to boost the contrast losixxx! |
after a little play...I think i need to invest in photoshop to improve my images :thumbsup:

Nice shots jim, I like the bold colours on the first. What processing do you do to them on the skin tones ?

Look at the reflections in their eyes and that should be a clue.... PS to remove blemishes and add a bit of extra saturation. |
I noticed the softbox and the 3 reflectors in the eye but the skin on the top one just looks perfectly smooth. I guess it's just really good skin, it almost looks like a red channel b&w style effect.

Some static car photography is something I would actually love to give more of a go at, I've taken a few snaps of friends cars before but never really done anything that i've put much thought into, here's some I took the other day. Only just snaps though really, I feel much more comfortable making the car actually do something then just photographing it like a rally than taking static shots.

Here's a few from the F345 race this weekend. I'm new to RC photography, and I've got a compact camera, so any tips for getting started with basic equipment are appreciated. I really love the bits of grass flying around in the shaft of light in the second and third photos. Is there any way to really bring these out reliably?
Thanks! Ty The A-Final 3rd leg start... http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/5909/p1000082c.jpg Jamie Booth going BALLISTIC! http://img132.imageshack.us/img132/9030/p1000095d.jpg Just awesome http://img30.imageshack.us/img30/5673/p1000103e.jpg |
Considering those are taken with a compact they are very good indeed.
It depends on what functions your camera has, if you can pre-focus somehow on the area of the scene you want to be sharp (like the area with the flying grass in it) then that will help you get thet effect with each shot. The first image it my pick - it tells the story of the meeting. It's the sort of photo that Jimmy would use in an 'A-final' write up. |
forgot about this thread & forgotten about my camera recently :rolleyes:
i did manage to zap this one a couple of weeks ago tho :) http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2640/...bea0aea8_b.jpg |
Is that a Lion?

Nice racing shots, especially for a compact. The nicely lit up bits of grass are basically a function of the really nice low warm light that was there. Your also shooting into it which has the effect of a rim light, lighting up around the outside of the grass so it actually glows in the photo. It's a very good effect and is used quite a lot (at least by me!) in photograhy.
I agree with stu the first shot is really good as it shows whats going on instead of just an action shot of a car. The action shots are great but for write ups and that the main pictures will nearly always be a picture that shows the event as a whole. My only alterations to that would of been to either zoom out (or walk backwards 2-3 steps) to fit the top of the rostrum and get a bit of a margin around the other cars, aside from that the shot is pretty much perfect. Thats one scary looking cat showtime! |
ha ha she's just a little softy:)
underneath all that fur she's tiny! http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2578/...6f7155b4_b.jpg |

Nice shots Neil, did you use a circular polariser for them? You've got very nice dark blue skies.

I think I was fighting the auto image stabilisation quite a bit when trying to do panning shots - but for the ones I've posted it probably helped. All were at pretty high zoom. Cheers! Ty |

I'm taking on board your suggestions about the framing, and will keep at it. Cheers! Ty |

Picked up a new camera, besides 2 weddings i haven't shot much personal stuff with it yet. but here's one of my dog lol.
5D Mark II + 24-70 L http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2427/...92d29a86_o.jpg |
aah come on Tom, your dog deserves a little bit more depth, sharp dog, blurry ground would have been better imho.
|
I'm still getting use to the Full Frame, the depth of field is much more shallow on a full frame then crop body at the same aperture.
As long as the eyes are in focus then I'm fine with it. But whole knows maybe a more narrow DOF would work as well. But i'm no dog photographer lol |
I drove to NYC to pick up the new camera, i'm a NYC native so I'm there often. But i didnt get to stay long like i normally like.
Heres one while walking back to the car. Yup, i couldn't wait to get my hands on it, so i took it out the box in the store. hahah http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3459/...8bf4df57_o.jpg Funny thing, i went to B&H but they were sold out, so i walked to adorama. |
Oh, and i have a friend (girl) who loves these types of shoes.. So i took this shot...
