Fajitas!

Got back from 4 days in Paris on Friday...here are some results, more on my Flickr!









Also the first time processing on my new laptop.

Wow the carousel shot came out well... looks almost HDR'ish.

Really, really like the carousel shot, the sky is fantastic.. probably a really stupid question... Is it a HDR?


and the portrait of the dude is deadly, his stubble is so stubbley and the hint of brown in his eyes is perfect!

Great work al .

Fajitas!

Thanks all.

Nope, it ain't a HDR, I didn't have a tripod with me, otherwise it most certinally would be! It was taken with a polariser, exposing for the carousel

Great stuff Al as usual. Lovely mix and the exposure and compd of the carousel shot is excellent. Must have a gawk at the bigger size.

Quality schtuff, the carousel one worked really well.

Valentia

I'd highly recommend a look at the full set on Flickr. Great set.

Fajitas!

Cheers all!

Actually...must put up a B&W shot of a different Carousel...

Really happy with this one!

Fionn

Maybe he had a really, really long head?

Good stuff Al!

Love the Carousel, very nice.

Really good exposure on the second Carousel too!

I think its a horse's arse.



Great shots. I really like the portrait at the start.

Fajitas!

Thanks. Bloody wish I had rolled the f/ up to 4.5 for it... Bah...

Zillah...I'd be going with plastic pony...isn't there some height restriction on horses these days?

Good work mate ... I had a look through the set you posted in flickr ... not easy to pick a favorite ...

The railway station is excellent ... as is the carroussel above ... you'll have to teach me a few tricks

great shots al. The one that interests me the most is the portrait. People make the most interesting subjects. Can I ask you - how did you go about getting this ? Did you just walk up to the guy and ask his permission to take his picture or what ?

I'd love to take more portraits, but I've no idea on how to go about getting them.

Maybe a good subject for s sticky.

Excellent shots Al, you seem to be enjoying that 5D... I wonder why... Maybe a bit too much vignetting for my liking on that Eiffel Tower shot, but the color of the sky is very well done. Gotta love polarisers...

Yep, I asked him if I could take it... We were walking around the Pompado centre, and my friend Brioni dissapeared, turned out she was being charicacturised..cha...you know what I mean - by him. We were just having a bit of a laugh, and I just asked "any chance I could take your photograph" in the most cheesy way possible... Works a treat!

Dimy...The vignetting pee'd me off no end, I just had to try use it! I really need a wide angle with no vignetting.

Shots 2 and 3 are excellent.

Al ,I could give you a loan of the 24-85 lens I have .
At 24 it's fairly wide ,not wide enough on my 350D and I don't use my 50E .

Fajitas!

Thanks Sinecurea.

24 is plenty wide on the 5d...but I wouldn't trust myself with someone elses lens. I get my money's worth outa them!

Morlar

Some excellent shots there and in your flickr. The carousel one(s) really stands out imo.

Fenster

Those are some really top-class photos, the carousel is just amazing.

sorry for not reading all the posts before ............... so if I am repeating what has been said before then thats my bad!!

I love the sky in the 2nd one. Really dramatic & adds so much to the mood of the shot.

Lovely work & thanks for sharing.
