Fogot to mention only fairly new to photography so don't know all the do's and don'ts yet, i use a nikon d40 with the stock lense that it came with but i'd like to get a zoom lense so i'll be able to get closer images, for down at trackside really any advice guys? also any feedback on the d40 would be good aswell.

Hi dudes, sorry to be a pain with all the questions:p but how do you post the larger images that i have seen on here?
Cheers Rick.

That is SMART!!!! that showtime, have you done some work on a photo editor to get the light and shadows so good?

nope that ones a jpeg straight out of the camera :thumbsup:

i took a few in colour & suddenly thought "actually this would work a lot better in Black & White" so put my camera in P (basically auto) mode & selected dynamic B&W & click there you go :thumbsup:

not bad for a compact :)

you have a good eye for detail friend:thumbsup:

Like that one Showtime, seems to fade to grey........... think I am going that way with age

thanks guys :thumbsup:

i have a few more from that day on my flickr if anyone was interested ?

I know its his look but I think he needs a hair cut and a shave

I think if you could do them in black and white/broxn and white they would look great

I've been away from Oople for a while but my son recently got a 2nd hand Grasshopper for free so I'm back!

Did you get lost on your way to Portrush Jim ?

That 1st shot looks great, I would ask you what settings but I know it'll have been 'P' (for professional :p)

No "P" on the wee Canon IXUS 70.....:p

trying to show pic.

OK. So I got the pic up but how do I get it to a slightly smaller size like you other guys?
First time I've done this.

I'm right clicking on the image in photobucket and selecting copy and then pasting on the oople reply form. Is this the best way to do it? http://i1089.photobucket.com/albums/...g?t=1306191420

Nice images Chris.

When using Photobucket if you select your picture it will give you some options next to it, the one you want is surround by an image tag [img] copy and paste that link into the forum and it will display your photobucket image.

Hope that helps ?

Thanks.
I'll put a couple more on later and give it a go.
Cheers.

The first shot is nicely composed, but lacks a subject! The bluebells weren't in direct sunlight, so you lacked sufficient light - with flowers, you want to focus much closer, and as with all macro type shots, use a small aperture (large F number). There are a number of ways to do this without splurging on new lenses if your current lenses lack close focus:

I'm finally getting around to put some more pics on after some computer troubles. Arent they a nightmare when they dont work properly?

Thanks for the advice colin, like your shots on the links you posted, i'll try again and post them, keep your eyes peeled:woot:

Not been able to get to many rallys of late with only one last year and this looks like it might be the only one this year and I only got to one day of it.

Went to Duxford Flying Legends on Saturday and took these pics. I am putting up these ones of the Douglas Skyraider and the Mustang as they crashed on the Sunday. The larger Skyraider lost a big chunk of its wing, the mustang crashed, the pilot bailing out before impact. Both pilots are ok. Sad loss of the Mustang though.

This component photos was taken in 2009, but I've only just got round to stitching them together. It's of Loch Levin in Scotland, a truly gorgeous place.
