Hooray slow shutter speed!

Hey Chilipepper,

Hope you don't mind, but I thought this one would look pretty cool tightened up and in B&W, its a nice shot...kinda a 'road less traveled' feel.

Two pictures that my wife took from our dog, Peg.
We are not photographers. I guess she was lucky.
The lithning was really cool.

That dog looks like he's had a long, long walk.

Actually it wasn't a very long walk. He's just not the youngest anymore.

Thanks !

I can't wait for some decent weather around here to go out and do some photo-playing.

+1!!

I got a new polarizer 3 weeks ago; there's been about 3 sunny days since then.

Hey man, do you have a hi-res shot of the last one?

 

[Bad Brains]

Yes, it's about 4800 ppi, about 80 mb's. I was thinking about making a poster with it.

It's a good thing you resized it before you put it here!!

anybody have a tricks, I have an olympus 8mp. When I take pictures on full resolution, my pictures are often blurry.
I tried to take the camera very firm in my hands, or I try to rest on a wall or something. It's very hard. WHen I there is a flash it's easier, but with no flash it's much harder.
Any tricks?

Thank you

 

[Ívar Þórólfsson]

Yep, I have two tricks...

1. Monopod
2. Tripod

If you don´t want to go that route, then concentrate on your breathing when you take a picture and relax. When you try too hard to be steady, you end up shaking because of the effort.

Take a deep breath and try to snap a pic just as you exhale.

Last one is indeed very good... good job BB... job indeed...

BTW what camera do you use?

 

[Vox Populi]

I'm not talented, I wish I was. Here's some pictures taken in Europe last summer on a crap-tastic Fuji FinePix E500.

All of the ones I posted are taken without flash and without a tripod. The problem with most point and shoot digitals is that once you get into a situation where the lighting is not ideal for the camera, you get that nasty flash. I spent about 95% of my time with my Olympus with the flash defeated.

If you're shooting without flash, your camera is keeping the lense open longer, so you'll have to get used to holding very still as long as possible. I got used to shooting a subject 10 or more times to get one that was clean. I also got used to learning how to 'brace my hands, arms, or body against something to be as steady as possible.

These days I have a tripod I bring with me for stuff...definitely makes things much easier, even when I'm using it more as a mono-pod.

Just my old Pentax 35MM. I believe I used a telephoto lens on that.

I would like to get a nice SLR but can't afford one. I can't even afford different kinds of lenses for my 35mm right now, so I try and make best with that I have.

Well good work never the less... I am with you on the cant afford one
