Random Photothread XXII Do not quote pictures 800 pixels longest side

CabanSail

This thread is for random pictures of random things in random places by random people - so basically this is the place for random photographs. The photographs should be your own work; when we say random, we mean that there's no set theme, and no provision for C&C, for example.

Welcome newbies... Always great to see you moving away from lurking to taking part - we won't bite (eh... too often).

No expectation of quality or content. It's for everyone. This thread exists because it is good to share Please familiarise yourself with the rules before posting.

A little discussion is allowed but don't enter into debate as the thread is intended mainly to show photographs.

Thread rules [Please Read] NB - IMPORTANT STUFF NEXT

* General Charter Rules Apply

* All images must be 800 pixels or less on the longest side. Any posts with images which break this rule will be deleted.

* No Quoting Images - Please don't include the original picture in your reply to a post.

* Making your picture a link to the page it's hosted on flickr or pix.ie or elsewhere is both handy for us nosy lot to find the rest of your stuff, and also generally considered the polite thing to do by the image host. Indeed for some including pix.ie and flickr, it is a condition of using their service.

* No arguments. Self explanatory really.

* If you have a disagreement with a photo, use the report post feature - don't go abusing the poster.

* Try keep to one or two images per post. Then allow some more people to post, then feel free to post again. Do this as often as you like!

The most important rule: Enjoy and have fun.

If you find yourself on the wrong side of these rules, prepare yourself for your post to be deleted, or if you've been feicing around repeatedly, prepare yourself for break from the forum.

If you do actually read this then please hit the thanks button - not that i'm so vain as to want a post of mine thanked - but as a little social experiment as to who actually reads the opening post on the thread, heheheh....

Thank you.

Now off with ya!

gerk86 I like the pic I really do, but the dog bit and a ghostly thing behind it (can't figure out what it is) make it very creepy to me.

30sec exposure with flash at the start. If you look closely you can see my mother pulling a face (just behind the dog) then obviously turning away for the rest of the exposure giving her a side profile as well as frontal.

you're right though, a biiiit creepy

Really nice shot Keps. Did you adjust the white balance at all?

I Think I will have to go to Flickr ot Pix.ie to post in future.

To date I have used Tinypic but they have now introduced a 2 random word password system before you can load- and by God you would want to see some of the words they come up with
My latest test was

I'm not sure what adjusting the white balance means.

Just to tell you the sequence - I took the photo at 9.45 pm this evening.

Imported it into Picassa - looked a bit flat so I adjusted the 'Fill light' upwards a tad- then increased the 'shadow'.

Then noticed those dreaded sensor spots - so moved it to Photoshop to clear them up- but when in PS why not play around?

So I used the dodge tool to highlight even more the light coloured stripes.

The photo does look a bit orangy overall - so if there is advice on how to keep the colours more natural - talk away

BTw - this took all of 4/5 mins - with the photo being posted in less than 20 minutes after it was taken.

( I went back this evening after I thought I had snapped to early last night in a last ditch effort to get into Marton's 'Speed Assigment - this was the shot I took last night(Tue)

This little lot came out of my father in-laws boiler house, they had been resting there untouched for at least the last 10 years.
All need some TLC and plenty of new parts to restore them to their former glory. Great project for anyone with a bit of spare time & money.
My favourite has to be the Nottingham built 1970′s Raleigh Chopper with the 3 speed Sturmey-Archer gear hub. A real classic!

2nd photo is far better, for reasons you mentioned on the assignment thread, yet the first is still the best picture entered in that assignment! Fair play on getting the shot you aimed for!

As for white balance, generally for night shots if you leave your camera on Auto WB it will give you that Orange glow to the shot that you seem to have - this wrecked my head a while back when I started taking night shots. Rather than plagurise someone else's explanation of what exactly WB is, here's a link. Good news is it's pretty easy to correct, especially if you are shooting in RAW.

I don't use PS so I'm not too familiar with where the WB settings are in it but here's a tutorial for it - link. The shot could do with a reduction in the temp, take away the orange glow, only my pinion of course!
