[Kaben]

Thanks for the comments too guys - i tried to tone the processing down so im happy that you guys are liking #2 since that is the one i have changed the most.

[Dr D]

Omg Dennis - they are awesome. I love that yhey are so tiny that they are perfect for a bathtub studio!
They do grow quickly that's for sure - in another 4 weeks they'll be almost fully grown and feathered. As as for the bathtub, it makes cleaning all the poo from the "studio" an awful lot easier :)

[Dr D]

Thanks for the comments on the barley pics - was well pleased with how they all turned out

went to the royal wedding on friday - Tried to do a kind of storyboard type thing.. here's the day through my lens: http://www.hip-fire.com/projects/3133006

A great set and unique perspective of the day.

A quick few from the weekend. Been spending most of today unpacking everything for the kitchen. I left a high cupboard door open, went to leave the kitchen and walked straight into the corner of the open door and cut my scalp open! Didnt stop bleeding for about 40 minutes despite being a pretty small cut. bit of a headache now :lol::lol:

Also what do you think of the processing on these - i am prototyping some new techniques. ( apart from the firelight one of course)

They're all good but this one stands out.

[MagnumPI]

Loving all the animal shots, the ducklings are cool I need some of them!

I assume with the fire in Bracknell area that the look-out is closed, I am due there on Thursday night for a run. Anyone know?

Here is a pic of a bungalow near me that recently had a fire, how does the chair always survive!

Definitely looking good


Got my farmer matey to pose for this in Norfolk - I'm a huge fan of old portraits of people with their animals so was trying to re-create that kind of feel.

Evening all. Love the duckling shots and setup shots. Wonder if I can get the rabbits in the bath??
Couple more cute bunny shots :)

Has anyone been to Monet's Garden? I am thinking about going early September, have looked at the site which has a calendar of the gardens during the months.

Always good to get real peoples opinion :)

It was closed today and a lot of the nearby roads. I will post an update tommorow if i hear anything on the local radio. I hope its going to be reopened soon i wanted to go and explore what was left of the fires.

[MagnumPI]

Cheers Layyz, got to get my thinking cap on never even thought about taking pictures! Note to self take camera with me and hope that it opens :)

[Box Brownie]

For those in the Bracknell area ~ bearing in mind the fire(s) coming from the Lightwater M3 end is the A322 and up to the M4 clear & AOK for travel do you think over the next few days??? I have a client in Theale I need to try to see soonish ?

[Swaffs]

loving all the fluffy cute shots, but Dennis OMG v cute!
and great studio you have there!

[Swaffs]

what fire?
I've been processing 900 images from the weekend, and other things, not watched any tv!!

[cforster]

They do grow quickly that's for sure - in another 4 weeks they'll be almost fully grown and feathered. As as for the bathtub, it makes cleaning all the poo from the "studio" an awful lot easier :)

Wow - that quick?? So will they end up being different colours like the ones at Hawk Conservancy? I can't quite imagine that when they all look fairly identical! Guess you have you next few weeks of photos sorted then!!

Morning all ... Another beautiful sunny day today! Anyone up to anything fun??

Here we go. I had to dust off my old Canon 10D for this.

Not ideal lighting I'm afraid ..

PS How is Ali getting on and I hope you are keeping well?

Ali is coping well with the radiotherapy (a little more than half way through the treatment now), and she's spending the weekends at home now. It gives her something to look forward to during the week and helps the weeks pass more quickly.

I saw smoke yesterday from my home, but I don't see anything other than a smearing in the sky now, but can still smell the whiff of bonfire in the air.

I guess now the wind has died down it'll be more controllable.

Canon 400 2.8 II Lens

A gob-smackingly superb lens that it's been a privilege to own.


Canon 400 2.8 II: £2,700
Serial number UL0301 (makes it a 1997 lens I think).
Optically perfect.
Extremely fast to focus.
Some paint wear as you can see in the pics.
Includes the hood which I reinforced at the open end as they chip easily.
Includes the original Canon lens cap.
Takes beautiful pictures. Stunning for sport, birds, or anything far away.
I'll include a metal carrying case (not Canon) if you want it.
You'll lose little or no money with this lens - the used prices are very strong indeed. Buy it and sell it in a year or two and effectively use it for nothing.
I don't recommend posting this lens as it is pretty heavy.

I recalled reading very good testimonials for this company who sell & rent Dye printers for event onsite situations http://www.systeminsight.co.uk/web/categories/rent-or-hire-equipment.html these also rent printers http://www.photomart.co.uk/ but no idea for the "booth & costumes" ???

I did this for a friend's birthday last year ... It was a fancy dress party mind you ... All I did was hang a White sheet up, install my studio lights, and put the camera on a tripod ... Everyone LOVED it!!

Will she provide the costumes? If not, then there is a cheap online site (will have to let you know the URL later as I can't remember it) ... You'll need to add the cost to whatever your hourly rate is ... do you have any kind of printer you could set up? Lights? I'd be happy to lend you my backdrop if it's help ...

[Mike]

Not sure about the costumes, I assume she will provide them...

As far as lights go I have a couple of 580ex2s and a 430ex...no umbrellas though...

I'm not 100% confident about printing on site - I might suggest that they purchase from my website instead, as long as I can get the shots up pretty quickly afterwards...

Not been here for a few days and some corking shots posted to many to mention so well done all.
I took delivery of my " new lens " today which cost me the grand sum of £1.79 about 10 minutes of fabrication is needed then it'll be ready to use.
Mike I've a couple of shots that fill the BOTC's brief just have to decide which to use.

Cool, if you're undecided pop them into the discussion thread so we can help. :)

[Ronin Silv]

The "new Lens " is very much a DIY affair and the only clue I'll give is that it is a fixed focal length and aperture, which I don't know what it is as I've not made it yet, and won't be the sharpest lens in the world.
Edit: and it can be used on both crop and full frame.

Cool!! :D

Ah Matt your style is so 'you' now ;)

I do like them but not all of them, sorry to spoil the party, though there are just a few that do not sit well with me the rest are crackers and IMO have value if you get them "out there". If you had numbered them I could have more easily listed the ones that IMO are the best and there are lots :D e.g the policeman bending/bowing his head so all you can see is the badge...............Police publication, memorial service type image are just two commercial potentials I can think of???

Evening all. What a great Set Matt. :) I really like thew Policeman too.

I had to fit a new part to my wifes car tonight. When i took it for a roadtest i noticed this little cheeck chappie wandering in the field opposite my house. So i had to grab the camera when i came in, and stalked him for a while. I managed to get about 30 yards away. This was the result.

those came out great

not at all - im happy for the feedback - good or bad
although i am leaning towards feeling i should have left the colours more..oh wells

the policeman laughing is one of my faves

Ah! the colours ~ yes, IMO your style suits some subject(s) better than others but they are yours & your way of PP'ing........but..........drab does not work for all ;)

Now must go look for the laughing policeman again??? Edit ~ oh, I think I see he appears to have a smile on his face (the one with his head down) or are you being post ironic and refering to the one with the medal ;) :lol:

Hi all, some great shots being shared, all the little cuddly- wuddly aminals and that lovely Kate Middleclass's wedding :)

Can anyone recommend a good quality replacement monitor, dont want to spend more than £300 if poss ?

I have a 22" Benq you can get one for just over £100 from ebuyer, the 24" ones are now £143 here (http://www.ebuyer.com/search?page=1&sort=popularity&limit=10&store=5&cat=12&filtermfr=261&filtersubcat=2097)

Evening all. What a great Set Matt. I really like thew Policeman too.

I had to fit a new part to my wifes car tonight. When i took it for a roadtest i noticed this little cheeck chappie wandering in the field opposite my house. So i had to grab the camera when i came in, and stalked him for a while. I managed to get about 30 yards away. This was the result.

This was the set I took ... I have upgraded the backdrop since into one of those that pops up and has a longer train ... but the idea would be the same

http://www.flickr.com/photos/clare_forster/sets/72157622300240515/

I'd definitely say to her that you want to print outside of the event so that you can produce relevant quality etc etc! But I tell you, the photo booth idea is such fun (and as a photographer it's easy!!!)

I have a couple of studio lights you could borrow if you want - they're only a starter kit - but one has an umbrella and one has a softbox ...
Looked like a lot of fun! :D

Thanks for the offer with the lights...however, never having used studio lights of any kind before I'm not sure I'd really know what I was doing...:confused:

I'd heartily recommend an IPS type of monitor as they far exceed TFT/TN panels in terms of quality. I have a Dell 2209WA (which I think is discontinued now) which is superb (Lawrence AKA Box Brownie has the same I think) but this one is very similar (and possibly the updated version from mine):

Not sure how close he was but this has prompted me to check on the local lake and the canal in case there are any nesting with a vantage point or two???

Having said that I am still thinking about the Abingdon airshow this Sunday 8th, anyone else???

[Mike]

Exif shows 210mm for the 1st shot & 130mm for the rest...quite close!

[Box Brownie]

Thanks for the help chaps, the Dell looks to be a good bet, someone at work has mentioned them as well.

Just be sure to choose the exact model number, when the 2209WA came out there was also the 2209.....not the same by a long chalk. The plain 2209 was cheaper and had a TN based screen not the e-IPS of the 2209WA.

So if Dell have done the same with more recent models check the reviews and specs and do not be mislead into saving a few £'s by buying what appears to be the "same" model :D

Matt, where is the best place to park in the area, can you see damage by the coral reef entrance or do you need to carry on the dual carrigeway a bit?

There are no restrictions on type of camera used any more so SLR/DSLR/P&S/Bridge cameras are all acceptable formats, as are all other cameras such as pinhole, lomo, mobile phone etc.

Morning all!!

Have a real quick iPad question for those more technically minded than me!! I want to get the cable that will let me plug the iPad into my tv so I could potentially play movies I have on there or set up slide shows of photos etc. I have an HDTV so is it just the digital av adapter I need? The VGA allows me to plug into a monitor or projector - but that doesn't do sound does it ... And altho the component AV does video and sound, it would only go into a tv - not a monitor or projector. I guess I am answering my own question ... If I only want the cable for my HDTV then it's the digital av ... If I want it for a monitor or projector it's the VGA ... And if I want it for an old style tv it's the component...

Right? *blush*:oops:

[Nanscombe]

For iPad to HDTV, if the telly has got an HDMI socket, I reckon the Apple Digital AV Adapter
(http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC953ZM/A) is the one you'll need.

You would also need an HDMI cable to go with it.

A couple of times over the last few weeks I have driven past Wingham Wildlife Park and seen a chap lying prone in full camo gear with a rifle (I'm guessing air rifle) shooting the wild rabbits that I always enjoy seeing on my drive home.

They live at the top end of a triangle of grass that is next to the car park and they've been there for years, including a black rabbit that's always with them. I've not seen them or the black one in the last few days...I was kind of annoyed that a "Wildlife" park would condone the shooting of local "wildlife"...

I always think to myself that I ought to go and try and get some pics of them...not going to happen now! :(

Never seen that guy on the way home though wonder if its to do with culling due to disease or something. I'd think he'd use a .22 instead of an air rifle as an air rifle is pretty much good for sparrows or a pigeon at a push - a .22 is pretty dangerous to shoot around a wild life park though, what with tourists and expensive wild animals around. Seems very strange

[Mike]

Actually, you could be right about the .22 - I think he had ear defenders on.

It's right up in the corner near the top of the hill before you go into Wingham.

Sounds like it could be more conservation than cull keeping the numbers down much the same as you'd do deer. Keep on top of numbers and they won't be to much of a problem if they were trying to get rid of the rabits they would block the holes and gas them.

Evening all.

Being into rifling myself i can assure you that a .22 pcp Air rifle is more than capable at taking down a rabbit at 60 yards. The shooter may be using ear defenders to reduce the destractions.

As to shooting .22 rimfire. He will need permission from someone to shoot the Land. It is breeding time for rabbits, and Mixi will soon be working its way round. With the Animals at Wingham, they wont want it around.

Anyway. Who's doing what this evening. Looking forward to a good car clean tomorrow. :)

Fantastic shots Rob! :D

No one has been injured, its Swinley Forrest about a mile from my house.. 300+ hectares have been destroyed so far and its still burning, loads of roads are closed off!
