Yeh man no probs, "all" the lighting you see is intentional, its very dark down on the beach at night, the rocks needed some form of lighting, so I used a green LED glow stick and you can just see the hint of a blue one, also i used a LED work light, and a low watt conventional yellow bulb torch, sparklers to add some subtle yellow glow, and bright white LED strip lights, as well as the obvious car lights and of course the moon, so yeh everything is 100% intentional and created real time.Quote:

Anyway, easiest way is just to try it dude, because I don't really know, and there is no rules, and no right or wrong, just playing around with different things is the best way to learnt.
That is one amazing photo. Sue me if you will, but that is now my wallpaper! You sir are camera gifted.
Wish I could jump out of "auto" on our Nikon, and do things like that.
Great photos Steve.
Heading to Fraser in mid Feb for the first time in 20 years. Drooling looking at your photos.
Cheers
You can mate, just turn the dial from "P" to A or S or M. Look at this guys superb shots and try to replicate them, then start using your own ideas.If your struggling,ask for advice in the help thread. I`m sure 04OFF won`t mind.Quote:

Great photos again, what is photo 4?
Awsome as always , beach looks well eroded
I think it might be a verry long exposure as the stars look like they are starting to leave a trail.Quote:

Thanks guys.
Pic 4 is basically a 47 second exposure of burning steel wool on the end of a string (swung around in a circle), makes for a interesting effect, and great for starting unwanted fires if your not careful :)
You should put that in this months photo comp "Fire".Quote:

Postcards mate! And you assed the one with the seagull lol
Awsome mate , the one with the yacht and the old boiler in the foreground , gets my tick
I don't recall that, I say go for it mate. Very true that U may not need 2 prove anything 2 anyone but there's nothing right or fair about leaving leaving a person out of the comp because they are good at what they do.Quote:

How are you taking those night time photos?
They are so clear.

The first night shot (above) was taken at f/3.5, 3.2sec exposure ,ISO 640, no flash etc, the higher ISO lets me use a faster shutter and so reduce blur, if I wanted blur, I would run a lower ISO with a longer shutter speed giving the camera sensor time to capture "movement", whilst still retaining the same overall light for the pic.
The second shot was f/3.5, 1.3sec, ISO 320 , this one had much more light available, so a shorter time was needed, it also had nothing that moved in the wind (trees etc), so I could also reduce the ISO.
Hope that helps ?

So just recently I had a great opportunity to go to China, so I jumped at it, of course I packed the camera, unfortunately for me, the area and period I stayed, encountered the worst recorded weather (for that time of year) than they had seen in the last 50 years, it should have ben blue sky, instead it was overcast and raining, so really bad for taking any pics at all.
Anyway, I was limited on the camera gear I could take, and quite frankly was quite out of practice behind the camera, I was always a bit rushed due to various reasons ,and fumbled around a bit not "really" enjoying myself as much as I normally would.
....but meh (lol)

Not bad for a bloke out of practice. Seriously good pics mate - always like you stuff.
WOW, I have just been checking out all these photos you have posted. You have a great talent there. Hope to see more of your pics in the future. Thanks for making my day.
Good to see you back Steve. Hope everything is going as well as it can be. Need to get out on the tracks mate I havent been for a while.
Good to see your back at it Steve. 2nd last photo is a winner. Looks great.
All the best bud, I'm itching to get back out on the tracks.

You can see how cloudy it was, the sky is "white", very hard to take pics of dark rocks in the shadows .

more...
The mega coloured ones are from the Yuzhu Cave/s Yunnan, they shine various lights around the place to add to the experience, you'll see some "very" interesting naturally formed shapes if you look hard enough.
The others are from the Dragons Gate, carved out of the cliff face by some monk dudes, back when square wheels were still in fashion (nearly 2300M above sea level).
