"imagine my surpise "...

..I'm not surprised you were surprised; id have htought it quite distracting, therefore potentially quite dangerous......!?

yOU got the pics well though.


(was he having a disco in there or what?)


What camera was that?

 

cheers - yeah, it was my lady who noticed it - I just stopped the car and turned around so I could geta better view...!

.....if those are all yours I'd say(if I may say) you have a bit of a talent for it.

Who are is the youngish guy+ girl; not you presumably (the lad i meant !? )

 

cheers - all pics are mine...not sure what pic you mean - as that url points to a set....

 

labelled as "used else where"...

but looking again there some corkers in there (IMO).....have you done this for a living or soemthiing?

 

ah yeah, I don't do it for a living - tho, a couple of local rags use my pics (free of charge - I don't mind tho) but I made a few bob selling some of the wolsingham explosion ones tho...

I love taking pics - you could call it a passion!

 

....me too though I don't get to do i as much as I'd like....

I''ll ahve a good look through your pics....get some ideas..

Any tips (or websites/books you'd recommend?)

 

Taking photos through other people windows as a living - I hope he hasnt.

 

you really think this guy doesn't want any attention..?

 

a not unreasonable point...

 

a few more pics from last night...went to a neighbouring village for a walk (westgate)...

yeah, with the following pic -

you will see on the right handside text like the following -

and you can click on the 'More properties' link and this brings up the Exif data...
the above pic was used by placing the camera on a rock and therefor the shutter speed isn't that slow - 0.2 sec (1/5).

this pic -
http://www.flickr.com/photos/weardaleone/898194531/in/set-72157601007632991/

was also placed on a post and the shutter speed is - 1 second...

hope this helps!

 

whoops yes, forgot about the data!!



i'm still in film land!!

(no, i use a digi)


0.2 sec sounds slow to me!!

I'd never get away with that without a tripod.....and fequently haven't!

its ineteredting to see the effect yo've got though.....Looks good....I'll remember that.

thinking about this, i'm always stumped because i never have my tripod with me at th right time. My Dad has a little 6" one......might be quite usefull I guess

 

yeah, I've got a cheap tripod - but I always forget it...but I often use whatevers around - like rocks, fences etc...! normally has the desired effect, but the pics are sometimes a bit wonky etc...!

 

just looked at the two pics above....have you hought of showing them at all mr C.?

do you edit them in adobe...or other?

 

don't llook wonky to me...

I think i mght have to take up walking.

do you walk a lot?

 

S i say i must spend time looking through these.....

unfortuanely house work beckons for now :SLEEP:

 

yeah, I like to walk where I live - would do that most nights if I could - then then why don't I..? weather I think..!
I wanna document every village in weardale...I know it sounds sad, but I just wanna do it...

I sometimes use photoshop elements 4 to adjust the exposure level - depending on weather they're a bit dark or bright...

I just have the pics on view in flickr - but I've got links to them from various websites in durham / weardale...plus my local rag (wear valley mercury) sometimes use them...
