Here are some pictures I took today -

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was quite foggy, I'm glad with the affect it had.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I took around 160+ pictures, though I'll only post around 10 :wink:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I haven't edited them in any way so far, figured I'd post the originals and see what everyone thought. The camera did a very nice job capturing exactly what I saw with my eyes, the blue of the surroundings especially, I was worried it wouldn't show up.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

O.K - I'll get to the picture showing now :anxious:

Wow spectacular pictures, you got photography SKILLZ. What is #8? looks like theres a stick floating, did you put it up there to make it look like a cross or was it naturally there? spooky. #4 is my fav :D

Haha, thanks.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah, #8 had that stick there on it's own.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I looked up and saw it there, thought it was interesting, so I took a picture.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

In a way, it was a tad creepy. Especially since the fog adds that little shove of eeryness >.>

i know nothing about photography myself (and i call myself an artist #-o #-o ), but i do know that these are pretty sweet. coincidentally, last night when i got home, it was dark, and there was all this fog out, and there were these streetlamps on, no other light, and it made this really cool scene, and i wished i had a camra. feel free to ignore my idiotic babbeling, and just know, these are great photos. keep it up =)

I'm loving #1 and #8, great mood in them :D.

Awesome, but those woods remind me of the Blairwitch project :shock:

Nice pics! I really like #5 and #2 is kind of interesting.. :-k

Fantastic, I'm amazed that the automatic exposure mode did that. With my camera I have to underexpose it by one stop to stop the fog being a dull, ugly grey. What you should do to improve your photos (In general) is familiarise yourself with the manual mode, it gives you great artistic control over your photography. If it's possible, look about for some filters. I suggest getting a UV filter, circular polarising filter (linear is cheaper but you have to focus manually) and perhaps a red filter for black and white photography. Don't rush out and buy them though - I got by without them for two years.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'll explain the effects of the filters.

 

 

 

UV: No effect, keep it on all the time to protect your lens elements.

 

 

 

Polarising (circular): You know those photos of the hotels in holiday brochures? They use a polarising filter to get those deep blues. Circular allows your camera to use auto-focus and manual-focus.

 

 

 

Polarising (linear): As above. Can NOT use auto-focus, only manual.

 

 

 

Red: For black and white photography. This filters out the yellow tones (I think) which gives you more contrast in the image.

Thanks everyone :mrgreen:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Yeah, I definitely need to familiarise myslelf with manual mode and just photography itself.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I've always liked taking pictures such as these, though I usually end up not liking them. I think it's hard to capture places and things sometimes because your eyes allow you to see it all, so you'd take a picture and expect it to show you what you saw, but it doesn't. You have to find seperate things inside of one to capture it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Although, of course - There are pictures out there that can show it all at once and show it quite nicely, you just don't get all the detail.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

:anxious: Okay, I've typed too much I fear.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'll look into filters, as you said I might wait a while, until I can know what it is I need to be knowing.
