  1. Love the one of the field Ranger Bob, the one of your girlfriend is top notch too. Did you use the lensbaby for that one aswell?

    As for the night shots... I find it really tricky to get "neutral" colour in city street shots, and I never suceed with it from scratch. Try setting your cameras white balance to incandescent and if possible fine tuning it to +3.

    Playing with my borrowed SB-800 and the nifty TTL slave function.

    My friend enjoying a cold one.

    Thanks! Your shots are really good. Um, I didn't use the lensbaby for the one of my girlfriend, I used a lens that I picked up really cheap:

    Sigma 70 - 210mm f5.6 I think. It can take really good shots in good light but produces an error 99 a lot, which sucks!

    I'm waiting til summer to buy a decent lens, when my 2nd year of uni is finished! biggrin_o.gif


  2. Cool shots! smile_o.gif

    I tried a few night shots with the tripod (thanks to sniper :P). The weather wasn't so good (it was raining and a little foggy), I didn't stay out for long but here are a few:

    Arthur's Seat from Meadows

    David Hume Tower and University library

    Random night shot

    And another...

    Other stuffs:

    A field, an older picture... but I like the colour

    I find that my night shots are a little orange, I don't know if that is because of the streetlamps or I've taken a bad shot :P


  3. Killagee, do you use a tripod when taking those pics?

    I have real trouble taking pictures when it's dark. I either use to high a shutter speed and capture nothing, or i use a slower shutter speed and i get blur, unless i use a tripod - which can be dificult in busy areas! sad_o.gif

    Nice shots! smile_o.gif

    I considered the Nikon D50 but its a little more pricey.
