June Photo Thread

OK, as I mentioned I wasn't that impressed with the Vivid Festival this year, but on the way into the city I used the opportunity to make sure my new GoPro was working - I bought one last year and it died completely (wouldn't turn on at all), so it was replaced under warranty.

It's my first attempt at a time-lapse, and more an experimentation than anything else. It could have been much better, but it could have been much worse too. Apparently the HD Hero2 deals with low light a lot better than the original. I might buy one later on to supplement this one...

Anyway...

Dan - Lovely portrait there!!! Keen to see more. Just watch the light bleeding from the flash you used to light up the background.

I think I'll try putting up some foam core temp walls to stop the leaking light. Waiting on two more elinchrom units to use so it will help.

Nice shots. It's hard to take photos of boring things and make them look good when mucking around, good stuff....

Vivid.....

Yeah, that's not bad at all. The beauty of taking these shots is that you don't really need any special equipment at all, beyond a camera that can take long exposures, and a tripod or something else that's steady to keep the camera from moving during the shot.

Could you have gone higher? 25 seconds or so?

The photo I did of my car on the last page was 25 Seconds I think, I changed halfway through and changed back

The light shooting into the sky off the Opera house looks awesome

Orange street lights?

[Mangune]

Yer the street lights could be it or most likly like you said i could learn the white balence also

Yer i can do 20+ i think the car one was about that.

[Jay019]

give tungsten white balance a go, or if you can set the K value manually try between 2000 and 3000

took this shot using RAW + JPG and was too lazy to process the RAW versions
