Digital photography

..like h2o just said it's hardly "evidence" that everybody and their mother is taking pictures with their iPhone now.

That's not all it shows. It shows a rapid fall in production of slr and compact cameras.

I think that's enough said.

The best camera you have is the one on you.

Now stop bickering and post some straight pictures of buildings, or black & white photos of foxes please.

This crane was operated by a black & white fox (not pictured).

Oh, that's so satisfying...

Ha! Why does that happen?

Moiré/Aliasing.

I have two Nikon AF NIKKOR 35mm f/2D lenses I need to shift quickly to raise some funds, anyone interested?

They seem to go for the £150 mark on the bay, so £100?

Looks like this:

^ bought one of these last year, very happy with it, would recommend

Works out at c.50mm equivalent on a DX camera, no?

Yes, but you need a DX body with a AF motor (so no auto focus with D40, D40x, D60, D3000, D3100, D3200, D3300, D5000, D5100, D5200 or D5300).

Went out today for some last minute photos for the competition as my initial ideas didnt work out..

These are ace

These are incredible!

:D

Thanks guys. They came out ok. I should go back there some time at later hours for less light polution. These were taken at about 8:30. I'm sure i could capture more stars at 3-4 o'clock. Maybe catch the milky way as well

Reminds me of this pic I took a couple of years ago. I was quite proud of it at the time but yours are much nicer. How did you light the pylon, torch painting?

Also, @photoben I'm pretty interested in one of those lenses.

EDIT: Now I look at it, it's not that similar but hey... Also, it was taken with a lens I bought from Ben :-)

What sort of exposure are you using here, @panic? Really nice shots.

I've done quite a few shots of stars and foregrounds lit up by bike lights, but with the stars exposed for around 30s which means using a tracking mount, which is quite a lot of faff.

@ewanmac i used a flash,shot two three times during the exposure.
I like your shot, with a bit of post it could have been better. Unfortunately i didnt have time to search for the bigger pylons.

@Ludd i used 15-30s exposures and played a bit with the iso.
These are not perfect, in close inspection there are some star trails. Ideally you have atracking mount or multiple exposures stacking etc. These are all a single exposure.

I like the light pollution!
