Photographing experience

 

 

 

Once, we were asked to obtain a few pictures for our Art homework. Our topic was Rural, Urban and Industrial so for the Rural part, I went to the woods a few minutes walk away. It was quite damp and muddy. There was this huge incline; it was practically like a mini cliff. Regardless of the drop, I climbed down. My foot slipped and this one little mistake made me slip on my [wagon] all the way down into a puddle of water >.< One foot was drenched to the skin and I had a trail of mud from my upper back to my feet.

 

 

 

I took a few pictures and went back up the mini hill with a little help from my tripod. After a few miscellaneous pictures (not without a few scrapes from offending branches), I saw this little ditch that went alongside a path. Needless to say, I jumped into it which went okay. The floor was kinda squishy so I couldnt get a good level on my tripod.

 

 

 

So with a tree in the way, I climbed up to the left and when there was a clear area, I slowly went back down. I grabbed onto a branch of a tree that I thought that looked sturdy. It wasnt. This big branch (diameter the size of my palm) broke and hit my on the head. Second time that day that I was on my [wagon]. I hightailed it outta there, not wanting to embarrass myself in front of the unknown.

 

 

 

I got like one decent picture from there that I could use ¬_¬

 

 

 

 

 

Another time, I was taking a picture of this landscape but a few trees were just obscuring the bottom part of the picture. I stood up on a wall to take a better view. Of course, living in bloody Yorkshire, we have those crappy easily falling apart walls that are unstable. I tried not to land on my camera and nearly ended up rolling down the hill >.<

 

 

 

 

 

So, has anyone else had any general bad experiences when taking photos?

 

 

 

 

 

Also, I thought I could stray us away from the rather repetitive topics for a while.

I don't really venture out far when I take photo's, usually just stay local. The worst for me is usually my subject (Flowers, macro is for the win ;) ) being blown by the wind, and it blurs.

If you're outside (flowers usually are), you should be able to increase the shutter speed to 250th, (yes, even in macro).

Well, I went to a mountain (North Head if your wondering Ouchy, 'cos you live local) and got locked inside, while taking photos. Luckily someone else came along.

 

 

 

And there is nothing like a bit of motion blur for cool effects, ouchy.

Are you serious! :lol: I thought they would have done a more thorough check ;)

 

 

 

Yeah, it does make a nice effect sometimes, but not when the whole subject is blown about 30mm...
