....You think that's a Gannet? :stupid: Nah, it's a Vulcan in Arctic camouflage - Ask Hedge  :wink:. Actually it could be a Victor.

You've totally conveyed the feeling of flight. If you could manage to get continuity of commissions I reckon you could easily be a pro photographer. A good agent would cream off at least 25% but 75% of something is better than 100% of nothing. I guess that it's still very competitive as it was when I worked as a Designer/Art Director. Also, financial investment in the gear can be expensive, especially if studio work, though you can hire studios, assistants, etc.

On the other hand, there's a lot to be said for shooting what you want rather than what a paying client wants.

I love the varied natural lighting and the enormous distance - Those peaks faaaar awaaaay in the upper left, outlined by white cloud.

It's very 'painterly' and there's a lot going on in it. I'm now enjoying the quite intense green on the slopes. And, of course, the road invites!

I have a question Rich.
As it is pitch black or close enough, apart from when the firework goes off, how do you expose for the scene?  :smiley:
Title: Re: Richards picture thread!
Post by: chungster on November 08, 2010, 10:41:51 pm
Mega long exposure of couple of seconds perhaps??

Title: Re: Richards picture thread!
Post by: Hedge on November 08, 2010, 10:44:17 pm
Nope. If you did that the firework would be horrendously over.
Title: Re: Richards picture thread!
Post by: chungster on November 08, 2010, 10:47:35 pm
Wud?

Maybe I read the manual wrong lol.

For fireworks thought trick was tripod but long exposure of few seconds to get enough light into the lens to get the effect.

But dunno never actually put it into practice!!
Title: Re: Richards picture thread!
Post by: rich83 on November 08, 2010, 11:04:23 pm
Thanks guys....

Setting the camera in manual mode... ISO800, F11 and 3.2sec exposure (for the portrait one)

Shot in RAW so that anything thats blown can be brought back/saved..... if i showed you the uneditied version on the first one, you wouldnt believe it!
Title: Re: Richards picture thread!
Post by: Hedge on November 08, 2010, 11:06:00 pm
How did you get those values Rich?
Title: Re: Richards picture thread!
Post by: rich83 on November 08, 2010, 11:13:02 pm
I started off with an educated guess as to what it would be and adjusted.... some i took were longer exposures!

Worth getting out of bed for! However, I'm not sure your fiancee would appreciate it if you spotted such a moment midst passion with her!  :evilgrin:

Capture the moment!

Btw, I showed your Robin bird pic to a pro friend and he said that all the pro bird photographers make sure they get a reflection/glint in a bird's eye and they'll Photoshop it in if necessary.

Thank Robin. Hopefully going to be photographing a silversmiths collection soon, so that should be fun.

Some glorious snaps Rich. This thread is always a pleasure to browse :happy2:

Running with the above theme(s), have you ever captured an English/Western European hornet? I've always been keen to see one in that kind of shot.

Thank you very much!  :smiley:
 
I think i've only seen one hornet before and that was DOA, my old man introduced it to a rolled up copy of topgear magazine.  :signLOL:

Fabulous (as always!) bird pics, Rich  :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

You'd love my garden: Chaffinches, Goldfinches, Greenfinches, Bullfinches occasionally, Robin (of course!), immaculate Blackbirds (regularly bathing), Both types of Woodpecker, Dunnocks, Wren, all the Tits including Longtail occasionally, Thrush, Redwing (seasonally), Starlings, Jackdaw, Magpies, plus immaculate gulls on roof and overhead. Talking of overhead: Buzzards and occasional raid onto my 'Bird Cafe' by a Sparrowhawk. Oooh, I forgot a pair of Collared Doves who come regular as clockwork every day. Sparrows of course.

Ive never used Corel (well not since the 1990s) so can't offer much help I'm afraid.

Ive made a brush preset.

Create a watermark in photoshop, mine is 300x79px. then click 'edit' and 'define brush preset'

Then you can change the colour/transparency of it.  :happy2:

Can I just say that you are a stunning photographer. Loverly clear, sharp and pure photographs you have taken. 
I am a motorsport photographer and seeing your shots of more 'still' life, I may give it a go.

Rich's shot of the upper surface shows the care and attention she received from the painters these last few weeks.

Thanks lads. It wasn't an ideal day as shooting things in the sky when it's over cast is a nightmare.

I was also using my dads nikon d700 and 150-500mm lens which I'm not familiar with. Too many buttons so it was a fire and hope situation. :-)

Amazing shots Rich  :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

Austria is just stunning.  :happy2:

I went to Faaker See in 2007 on the Vrod. Its like the Worthersee event for VW's only its a HOG rally (Harley Owners Group). 1000's of Harleys  :evilgrin:

Totally Idyllic part of the world. The weather was Amazing too. Altogether one of the Best holidays Ive ever had.  :star:

....That shot captures the atmosphere and presence of a big lake very well indeed. But I would straighten it on the horizontal of the lake's edge if you don't mind me saying.

When I was staying with Native friends in America they took me to the Harley-Davidson 1903-2003 centenary celebrations - Quite an event! Harley Heaven!  :notworthy:

Yeah, that Wigley fella is a bit good!  :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy:

He really is professional standard but I can understand him not wanting to get tied down by such demands. Clients can be arseholes and you don't get to photograph what you want so much. And what you have to invest in gear to compete is megabucks. Gone are the days of David Bailey, a simple 35mm camera, a pretty girl and the right social contacts.

But do you have any of your pics in commercial photo libraries, Rich?

Revived this thread from the dead there! But it was worth whiles because the picture is amazing! Great shot, I like how you have the trees in focus and the front out of focus. I tend to always go for the front in focus and gradually more blur the further back, but it would have been so wrong for this shot.
