LancsVillan Posted September 26, 2007 Moderator Share Posted September 26, 2007 Know what you mean Tony, but given the places we were what did you expect? more of this sort of thing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 nah , that's exactly what I was talking about Lancs ..like you say it's getting the shot that captures where you were and making it interesting but without making it look like a picture round from university challenge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted September 26, 2007 Moderator Share Posted September 26, 2007 The picture round in University Challenge is usually a piece of piss, this week it was national football federations badges And I totally disagree with what you've said too, I like photo's that challenge the viewers perception of what it is, I like photo's that ask that question, What is this? Oh and I think you were more talking about the picture round in Ask the family with Robert Robinson, now theres a quiz show thats gagging to be revived ;nod: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LancsVillan Posted September 26, 2007 Moderator Share Posted September 26, 2007 nah , that's exactly what I was talking about Lancs ..like you say it's getting the shot that captures where you were and making it interesting but without making it look like a picture round from university challenge I like both though, my first post was to show how much I liked having a decent camera and being out with Bicks made me realise that some of the ideas I had for pics were not as stupid as my missus and others think....

privateer Posted September 28, 2007 Share Posted September 28, 2007 The eye of some face on a bank note? (possibly a dollar bill) Ahh, you're too good at this or it was easier than I thought! I picked up a new lens and was testing it and used the first thing to hand. These two will give it away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted October 14, 2007 Moderator Share Posted October 14, 2007 Using Shutter priority mode I set the time to somewhere between 1/60 & 1/30 (I was experimenting for my coursework) - I could look it up in the EXIF but as a general rule for something like that about 1/60 but you need to pan with the camera to keep the subject as clean as possible Blackpool was ferkin miserably wet yesterday, didn't look you up as I thought you'd be doing Family type things on a Sat Thats the thing with those horse carriage taxi things you get all sorts of different rates of movement, wheels feet/legs etc so even though the mainbody of the subject is sharp you get that great sense of movement not only from ther background but the subject itself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bickster Posted October 14, 2007 Moderator Share Posted October 14, 2007 Another one from B/pool yesterday, not one I'm too fond of but it does the job for the coursework (showing movement with camera fixed on a tripod) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
