Yeah GoldZilla I'm thinking the bottom one would have been best in that case

but actually - the main problem was probably just the long shutter speed...

also try turning on auto ISO maybe

reason i say this:

you were on aperture priority mode - and you had it open all the way - which is good.

but because you had the ISO fixed to 100 it means the camera has to leave the shutter open for so long

generally when using a tripod or shooting in bright light the lower the ISO the less noise you have in a shot

BUT no use having ISO so low that you get blur

:thumbsup:

aperture - how big the lens is open

shutter speed - how long the shutter stays open

ISO - how sensitive the sensor is

ps you can take awesome shots using auto/program modes :P

Zennon - nice pics dude :( I like the star trails.. I miss doing them..

Passive - Just thought i let you know that you dont need a tripod to take pics of the moon. Off-course if you have a telescope its going to be hard to hand held it, but for a lens up to say 200mm is just fine hand held. Also i see your exposure is 1 second; hense why its blury. The moon is the brightest thing in our sky at night so there really isnt a need for long exposure.

Here is a photo hand held at 200mm and shutter speed at 1/250th of a second from memory.

I understand you need a zoom lens to see this much detail, but just thought i let you know that if you taking a pic of just the moon then you dont need such a long exposure and hand held is do-able.

Love the penguin photo!! Got any more?

Yeah originally we had a crazy long exposure because, to be honest, i'd only JUST figured out how to set it. We started off with photos that looked like the day time. But the one i posted had the kind of affect i wanted, the moon really wasnt that bright at the time :P

Though we tried to get rid of the extreme glow, it'd either be too bright or too dark.

I was trying to do something like this guy has. Under tip #4 -planning and patience

had two 580exII's fired from pocket wizards. just trying to experiment where to put the lights to get certain effects and light the subject certain ways. the duck just wandered over to us so i just pointed one flash down and took a pic lol. i found it a bit hard using the 70-200 but my 24-70 rocks up this week so i hope to get out and do some more experimenting

self portrait. trying out stuff with the flash again. this time going into manual mode and setting things myself.

16-35 f2.8 @35mm F4 about 15cm from my face.

580exII with a 1/2 CTO Gel set at 1/32 @105mm - this was placed a slightly left of the camera and back another 10cm shooting straight at me (no diffuser or umbrella)

i think next time id probably shoot at about f8 to bring more detail to the entire face. but im happy for my first self portrait!

oh and a randomly snapped one of my dog Jack. just had held the flash and camera to see what i could get! still using the CTO gel

How much was the new flash?

I wish i had time to screw around with my camera :banana:

The only photos i ever post are ones from holidays etc, not just seeing what its capable of...then again, i might be getting a new LENS for christmas...so i'll prob play with that a lot.

The top pic is cool (A31cefiro)

the power lines (IMO) ruin the bottom one

I took these late on Saturday night, so it was right at the end of October...

I made myself a little photo "studio" with two pieces of wood that were covered in some dodgy white vinyl, and used two sheets of A4 paper to make the join more seamless. I think I'll need to replace this with some thin white A3 cardboard instead.

Anyway, here are the photos I took:

    • The cam I am actually putting in (a few posts up) is actually smaller than my current one. At least duration/overlap wise. All the chop stuff I hear just sounds like an engine running badly, because it is. I then envision driving it around in 1st gear and being massively sad about it bucking to the beat of said chop. There is an idle video of someone with a similar cam floating around the internet, but mine is a custom cam (so is his) so it'll never be the same, plus the fact exhausts are entirely different. What I want to do is put some bullet mufflers/race mufflers in to replace a couple sections straight pipes that currently replace the two extra cats that I don't need. But this is even further down the line!
    • I can tell you now, when the bracket that the little hydraulic ram attaches to snaps, with a subframe, and V8 from an AMG C63 on it, it sounds like someone letting shotgun off right beside you. It leaves your ears ringing, and a huge thankfulness that you never ever put a body part under something heavy that's only supported by a hydraulic lift...
    • Still not a guarantee fix. I used a high quality butyl-mastiq (the black goo that's not really silicone nor polyurethane, same stuff they use from the factory that just spreads out like melty cheese), and I still get lots of water on both sides of the trunk when raining or washing the car. I also suspect the factory spoiler rubber gasket might not be sealing well, so I'm thinking of adding a thin layer of grey silicone around the bolt holes on both sides and see if that's where it also leaks from. The biggest issue is that these cars don't come with a drain hole on each side like other coupes and hatchbacks.
    • I hate it, but maybe he could paint it Monster jam style and call it...godzilla?
