Title: JonArgraig's On-going Omega Pic's...
Post by: JonArgraig on 02 September 2008, 04:15:42
They need cleaning up badly so will do that tomorrow - but here is a taster of some of the shots we got.

Me and couple of mates took the cars down to Abersoch for a BBQ after spending all day cleaning them.

These pics where taken in near darkness so as I said they need cleaning up but Ive just got home...

Just to give a idea of how dark it was...


Long exposure - (8 seconds)

Same shot but using the flash instead...

Hello mate :)

By cleaning up I mean running threw photoshop's noise filters to remove the speckled effect I have on some of the pics due to the ISO been set too high.

I don't use any photography websites as such though I hear good things about http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/ - I keep meaning to join up.

One thing I do though is use the "bracket" mode a hell of alot 0 it takes 3 copys of every pic at diffrent levels of exposure, so you have a good chance of one been "right" - I find the LCD and even the few finder can be a poor judge of our the image really looks.

I also got a SD card reader for my iPod Touch so I could view the pics on a higher res screen whilst out and about.

Last night me a mate went out with our cams and between us we shot over a 1000 pics, I only uploaded 82 to my photobucket account...

I love these bonnet pictures Jon.  Was just thinking if a Miggy had one painted how it would look on a speed camera, imagine the summons through the door to proecute you for having no bonnet on the car.  and then the visit to court telling them they have got it all wrong and when you prove it then the ticket gets squashed. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
