you can get filters called ND filters that will cut down the amount of light that you get coming to your camera, and cause no change in colors or polarization. This means that you can use them to simply increase the amount of time that you have the shutter open without having an adverse effect on the exposures. It can also be used to allow you to open the apature more than you would normally be able to (an ND does it for 2 stops if I remember right).
Nice waterfall there EtherNEZ. Might look a bit better with a longer shutter time, but as you said you had no tripod at the time. |

It's easy to do long exposures in calm, quiet scenes like that. There wasn't really much of a chance of movement to be honest (except for the pisties up near the top of the mountain). I did choose the angle with a little care however. In other 'brighter' more mobile situations you might need to do as EsperChld suggests with neutral density filters - though I haven't used any yet. root : I've yet to get a decent looking rainbow shot, but that works pretty well. Nice. Well, now for something a little more amusing.... First up, they clearly perform strange experiments with sheep up 'int North Yorkshire moors... This old tawny (and particuarly friendly B&B resident) feline is clearly intrigued by a certain word game.... .....but quickly becomes frustrated and attempts to cheat by raiding the letter bag.

Cats are far smarter than they let us know - I don't think I recall reading anything about Scrabble playing Siamese cats... though I'll admit that i've read far stranger stuff!! (EtherNEZ = heavy fantasy reader ) The bat in the second shot does indeed seem to look a little pathos doesn't it? Esperchld - I was wondering how long you'd leave us in suspense for some more visual digest Great work again! The 'Yellow' spring shot is particuarly striking, how was the colour before you edited? |

EtherNEZ, the slide scanned too yellow so I had to rebalance the color back to what it actually looks like.
I don't know why they call it the yellow spring, it isn't yellow. It is rust red because it is an iron spring. |

Scary stuff there accela! The things we can do we graphics apps these days....
SirJeannot: Yeah, a really strange cow that was! Not just two heads but they'd even grown woolly coats as well!! What were those crazy farmers thinking? (probably something along the lines of... hmmm, how strong should I make the mint sauce?) Quote:
Some suggestions : You should try taking some more and see if you can improve the focussing a little - you could produce some really pretty sunrise's like that. Maybe also try and get more of the sky in instead of the inevitably black ground area. Experiment! That's what digitals are great for Finally, can't leave the photos alone for long! Here's a parting shot of the White Cliffs of Dover while heading over to the civilised region of mainland Europe (Calais - France, in this case ). Notice the cloud lingering over the SE of England? It was nice to get into the Sun again after 3 weeks... |

Nice photos, everyone! This is by far one of my favorite threads.
Tzurial - Wow, where did you take that pic of the bat? It's so cute and so tiny. Esperchild - I just love your photos. You have a great eye for capturing the beauty in nature. accela - Interesting photos! I love the close-up of the eye. Flash_Squirrel - That sky is absolutely gorgeous! EtherNEZ - Ooh, nice! It looks so peaceful and tranquil there. It isn't much, but here's a photo that I took above Lands End in San Francisco. I love taking pictures of different types of flowers, and I liked the color of this one. |
