Faisal,

Interesting shot. I like the light on the road.

The exposure on this one was a pain and I didn't really do a great job with it. I tried to even it out in LR3 but it could probably use some more work.

Wow you lot are cranking out some great images.

Lukas I think as you said the exposures were problematic, a little white for my tastes in the earlier shot.

Faisal that tree shot took a while to load on my internet and the road was a surprise when it eventually appeared. Nice composition, I'd only expected a canopy shot.

have a nice Thanksgiving, guys.

evening in Chicago by Rasidel Slika, on Flickr

Rasidel,

Nice photo. I am guessing by the name that it is an HDR?

Thanks DPR... :)

Nice shot Rasidel...though I don't know why but I prefer it w/o the sunset.


Sunset Orb...well almost!

Really liking those last 2 shots Faisal.

Faisal,

Both of those are great. Hard to make a microwave relay tower (I am guessing) look sexy, but you did. Did you paint the tower with flashes?

Thanks BBPhoto

@kgosden Thanks. I light painted the tower with a Flashlight... :)

Hmmmmm....Speed Cameras ?

You could always let someone else drive while you took the photos :p

I suppose you could use a remote control or get a cameras that takes photos when it sees movement or when an object comes into focus. You could then setup a modem etc. on the camera to email you a copy to a laptop in the car so that you could review it straight away!

Still sounds like a Speed Camera may be the best option....although can work out to be pretty expensive ;)

Just mount a camera with a fisheye on a boom stand out of your passenger window with a intervalometer...simple!! :P

Hehe....I did have my whole kit in the car but instead decided to shoot with the 70-200mm and then decided I needed a full shot of the Ferari F40 as it is my favourite car. -_-

I do like the bokeh I got out of it though... :D


@adam75south Fisheyes are awesome fun....Clients hate the distortion but love the perspective... :)

^ - Nice Adam.

Too long since I've been here.

They do that at Christmas time.

One more with the Yashica on a 5d. Did someone say swirly bokeh?....

Michael,

That is some interesting bokeh. I guess the main component that gives the effect is the corners of the image being slightly closer are more in focus.
