try do it when the moon light is really dim, done a few of the star trail pics, trying to get the center circle is the best part

[Haim]

[Haim]

^^^ read wat i said 4 posts above.....

[ARGHRR]

Wow, thats pretty sweet, i might do that tonight, BUT, Do Canon have a set time you can do? Cos my Nikon only will go up to 30 sec, then it's manual hold..

And I'm sure as shit you didn't hold that button for 33 mins

[Haim]

i use a remote shutter release. wat camera u got?

[ARGHRR]

i use a remote shutter release. wat camera u got?

[Haim]

i went out but was shit weather... really disappointed with it!!

[SIRTEC]

wow i really like the 1st picture

[Kelsonmassif]

first pic would be nice if i hadnt broken my neck haha, gotta can those angles on the landscape shots

[Haim]

^^ yeah, reson i did it is becasue i try to get everything that i want into the frame, lense not quite wide enough

[Kelsonmassif]

hmm yea i see, you could of done a panoramic with 1 of the top horizon and 1 of the foreground and slapped em together without any problems aswel, looks pretty good when pulled off

[zerone]

wow your uncle is a biker!? how cool!.

did you try to do a vetical one?
that sort angle is just not right for landscape.

[Haim]

nope. not enough time for light.... i told u... i forgotten the bloody cable release....

here is something cool... i know the center is not 100% focused.. but ill work on it more but i think i found another thing i like i mean style or something...

what do you mean by light?? just rotate your camera.. you got a vertical grip,you should be able to do that easy.

^^ as in more clouds hovering above me.... sun going down fast...

Fitting as much into the frame doesn't necessarily make it a better pic, especially when you have to use a gangsta angle... A stiched pano as Kelson said would be preferable.

I also don't like the angle in the first pic of the bike, think it would have been better to hold the camera flat and look down mroe of the side of the bike, emphaise the cool bokeh a bit more. 2nd bike pic is fine, maybe move away from the curb a little next time, 'cause the curb is in focus too it is a little distracting. Good to see your progress over the months man.

Also for your zoom burst, be cool if there was something at the focal point of it, because it does a great job of leading the eye there, like someones face or some other subject. But otherwise, technically its a nicely pulled off zoom shot, the grass has an interesting texture.

[Haim]

hmmm.... yeah the focus thing is my thing at the moment... that was actually done while i was waiting for my girlfriend to complete her full licence test haha

[Haim]

i had a play with my 50mm this afternoon....

[ITR_cam]

50mm is a cool lens
