Picture of the day...

Just a typical time lapse over a highway, nothing special. I'm just a big fan of these shots and I finally did one myself, not very impressed with it though. Can someone give some pointers for this type of shot? I think the aperture was not set right...

I would shoot at f/22 or higher to make sure it's all in focus, a low ISO (100) for less grain, and thus a longer exposure, maybe 30 seconds. Tilting the camera can add interest to a tired shot, too.
I agree though, these are fun to do, even when it's nothing special. Just cool to see the world in a different way. Same thing with ultra fast shutter (1/4000th).

Foggy Trail: Final Ascent

Mt. Yongji
April 16, 2007.
Canon A95
about 40 shots combined with AutoPano Pro​

This is where the ridge trail heads up for the last time before reaching the top. Now, a month later, these trees are fully leafed out.

I've got 3 of these photo's and I think this might be the best out of them. Not sure though as they're different shutter speeds and such. Will probably end up posting another one over time.

I've always wondered how do you get the star-shaped glows on a light source, does it have to do with the aperture setting/aperture blades? I always seem to be getting random results when trying this.

 

[M@lew]

I think you need to have long exposure/shutter speed (I had 15 sec) and a narrow Aperture.

 

[furious]

or you could use a lens filter designed to do just that.

I love the fact that its a G5 and awesome, and the lighting is really neat, I just really wish it were straight… Just needs that slight touch of straightness…

the smaller the aperture, the more star shaped.

Sun on the Sweetgum Tree

jayb2000: I loved your "Red and Green" photo. The splash of water coming off the cardinal's feet as he flies away is just great.

Today's photo is the evening sun shining through my sweetgum tree's leaves.

Same string?

Yes.

Here's a scan from one of my Holga contact sheets. I find them frustrating and fun! This shot is a bit creepy.

 

[James L]

Thanks for the picture.
I like it because it reminds me of Canada, my homeland, a place I miss. Where was your picture taken?

(I bet there are some sweet trout in that lake)

Hey Freebooter,

It IS Canada as a matter of fact. A small lake about 1 hour outside of Vancouver!

And yes, there are trout there.

I went on a 5 mile hike last Sunday at the Point Reyes Estero. Put the panorama together in Photoshop's Photomerge, it did a really good job.
