Portobello And A Couple Dsgs

[Rob MacKillop]

Fuji XE1, 18-55, LR4, Nik HDR, Nik Silver and Colour
Oh, and a B+W 10-stop ND filter, and 60 seconds exposures, 3-exposure bracketing of 1/3 EV
Still experimenting ​

Note the paper cup of coffee... wasn't mine!

 

[Brian Moore]

Very artistic and experimental Rob. And also very interesting. Are you using a tripod?

 

[Davie Hudson]

i like these a lot Rob, I would like to have seen them before the Nik software

 

[Rob MacKillop]

@Brian Moore - I meant to bring my tripod, but forgot! So, I had to improvise...

 

[Rob MacKillop]

@Davie Hudson - tough!

 

[Brian Moore]

Ahh yesssss,...the old seawallpod, pilingpod, decorativerailingsupportpod, busstoppod and rockinseawaterpod. I've used them on many occasion myself @Rob MacKillop.

Rob,

AWESOME images, but I really ADORE the bottom shot, the sky is brilliant, subtle and moody, again nice contrast, fantastic photography. Do yourself a huge size print and hang that on your wall, take a stand back and be proud - well done!!!!

Respect.

p.s.
I now carry my tripod in the car everywhere, 24/7.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Ha, thanks, Peter, and for the tip Another thing I forgot was to set my camera on RAW - these are all jpegs...very annoying.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

The first image is a little but wobbly - the camera was on hard ground, but the wind was strong. I was trying to protect it with an umbrella, but that got blown inside out. I think I'll glue the tripod to the camera...

 

[Chris Dodkin]

The results are very dynamic and moody - I was watching your issues with camera stability, and wanted to remind you to bring the tripod

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Grrr...

 

[Pete Askew]

You are really getting some fabulous stuff out of this ND filter / bracketed exposure business. I reckon it's about time that pinhole camera accompanied your as well.

Great series and I think the touch of movement adds something to that first shot.

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Yes, Pete, the pinhole is tugging at my shirt sleeves....

Hey nothing wrong with j-peg's, I personally NEVER shoot raw!

 

[Aldous Lau]

Nice shot Rob. I thought XE1 only got 30 seconds exposures instead of 60

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Aldous, you can expose well beyond 60 seconds on Manual, but you have to keep pressing...

 

[Julian de'Courcy]

Like the method employed here, I have come away with more knowledge of how too. Really love the isolated camera on bus shelter, slipway and rocks. It looks a lonely soul yet
fully in charge. Nice sets Rob.

 

[Mark Albertsen]

Wicked 2nd shot, creates the mood and great comp

 

[Rob MacKillop]

Cheers, Mark. That one very quickly became my most-liked photo on 500px.
