Digital photography

^^
photoben I think you misunderstood what dicki meant completely.

You been on the Curacao?

Got the blues, man!
: ]

Quite possibly. Was also in an angry state yesterday. Been burgled, they took both my laptops, girlfriends laptop, iPad and half my camera kit: my new D700, new 16-35 and new flash.

Christ that sucks. Fingers crossed about getting stuff back :(

really shit news ben, sorry to hear it ....
if there is anything you need short term to get you back in your job let us know

Fucking hell, good luck getting equipment back if there's any chance!

Cheers man, should be fine. Lots of support which has been nice. Just waiting on insurance now...

Thank fuck it was insured though. Really sorry to hear about that but it does mean you get new stuff right ;)

my morning so far. bought an ultra-wide-angle lens that I can't afford and don't know how to use, but quite like these. Seem to have a dirty splodge on the lens as evident in the first pic (those are my wheelz).

as per dicki's request - just a bit of adjusting in iphoto - i.e. i hit the enhance button and had to straighten the first pic because my photos are always lopsided.

heh funny about the straightening
during my scanning i've noticed that a lot of my shots are not horizontal
they all seem to have the same angle of lean and always in the same direction
might have to measure the old legs to see if there is a discrepancy down there !!

i don't think any of the photos i've uploaded have been post processed in any way, and boots did the processing on the 35mm images i've posted so no jiggery pokery there either

i have had a little play around in photo editing suites and it's quite fun
the focusing thing is good crisps out the edges / straight lines

Moar flowerz.
X100, no adjustment.

And one with quite a lot of fiddling...

photoben very sorry to hear about your break-in woes.
I hope the insurance process goes smoothly.

Cheers guys.

^^^^ Love a bit of wide angle distortion. Also love messing around with the distortion slider to straighten it/make it silly extreme.

Looks more like a fibre on the sensor. A blower might sort that out.

Sorry to hear about your burglary Photoben, hope the insurance comes through quickly.

The lens cap on one of my lenses keeps falling off. Even though it seems to click in place securely it easily pops itself off.

any tips?

from the observatory ride today
no fiddling
think i need a tripod now
had to balance camera on a dustbin lid to get this, not quite perfect but shows it can do nice long exposures quite well

Get a new lens cap?

Superglue?

drill through lens and lens cap piece of string
if it does fall off you won't lose it

Small (juggling) bean bag and use the delay timer? Allows camera placement and adjustment without having to carry something long and hard in a pocket / disembowelling yourself in a collision.
You'll still have to find a handy wall / dustbin / fencepost / car roof etc.

most handy wall / dustbin / fencepost / car roof etc seem to be inconveniently heighted

Trying to get out and shoot more/carry a camera everywhere.

That is lovely.

Nice, post more
