one thing i've learnt (i think it was on ns.com of all places) is to try not to shoot in bright, direct sunlight. you tend to get bits that are over exposed and bits in deep shadow.

try that maybe. im not saying your pics are crap. far from it. i'd love to get some shots like you are getting. anyway keep up the good work man and help me fill my hard drive

Ahh yeah. Cheers for the tip. I think Sl!m has said that to me before, but yeah. It does look kind of washed out in certain parts of photo where its just too bright, and the dark and light levels don't really compliment each other that well, for example in the second photo down?

But i guess im getting there Only been using an SLR since the start of this year...so definately getting somewhere.

If i'm out mucking around in the sun i'll generally chuck on the polarising filter to get rid of the glare, it also helps smooth out the exposure.

Examples:

1/2 ND filters can also be used to even out the exposure between the sky and the ground:

Food for thought.

[Basti]

filters eh? where can i score myself some?

[ZENNON]

can get them at any photoshop - Circular Polarizing Filter would be (read: was) my choice

dodgy test i did when i first got it - no PP (didn't have a tripod then either lol)

Anywhere really. Every lens i have has atleast a UV filter for it. You can get them off E-bay, or i pick mine up from Joel over at Teds Cameras in the city.

All mine are Hoya filters.

[Sl!m]

haha I can see my 1up mushroom in that photo Ian

and I can see all the hail damage on the bonnet

[ZENNON]

some pics i took at wednesday's sprints

was good to get out there again - been over a year since ive been (laptimes showed it too )

[fullyhyperlite]

I love the last shot. green porsche = yummy

Great depth of field in the first shot aswell. The focus is intriguing lol.

(Yay im at school in my photography class ...and im on sau? lol)
