FlyingCanOpener Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Pictures from my little excursion to Florida/Alabama this weekend... http://flyingcanopener.shackspace.com/vacation.htm I had a lot of pictures not come out because I guess I wasn't using a flash indoors. Despite that I ended up with over 200 good pictures. We're planning on going back before the end of Summer to Pensacola and I'll try to do better. Shakiness (though it looks cool) Much better...

Grant Whitley Posted June 23, 2005 Share Posted June 23, 2005 Does anyone mess around with restorations of old photographs?

John Nelson Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Does anyone mess around with restorations of old photographs? I scanned this photo from an old family photo album my 94 year old grand aunt showed to me recently. WWI, looks to be in France at 2:50PM. I don't know any more about the circumstances except my aunt's uncle played in an Army band "over there." Here's an improved, magnified portion of the above photo. I have no idea who these people are or why they are gathered there (war's end?): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Nelson Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I attended the American LeMans Series race at Lime Rock Park this past Monday. My first attempts at action shots of cars that approached speeds of 180mph on the straits and that can easily top 200 mph on longer road coarses. Bloody amazing to see how fast these vehicles moved! And the sound was incredible. Here's the car that won this year's 24 Hours of LeMans in action: A panning shot of the 750HP Saleen S7R: "Future Driver" Action through the chicane: One of the two Mazda rotary engined sports cars drops out: Lime Rock is a beautiful venue for watching racing: The girls enjoyed the podium at first: But their joy was short-lived. Not all of them were pleased by this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juan Sosa Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 Very cool panning shots John. What shutter speed did you use for the first two? Cheers,Juan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Nelson Posted July 9, 2005 Share Posted July 9, 2005 (edited) Thanks Juan. The first photo of the LeMans-winning Audi R8 is at 1/500th shutter speed, aperture 14, focal length of 165 mm using my 28-200 zoom. This was taken right at about the braking point at the end of the 180mph main strait. The second photo of the Saleen is at 1/125th shutter speed, aperture 20, focal length 90mm. The great thing about digital cameras is that you can take a dozen mediocre shots to get one good one. Edited July 12, 2005 by John Nelson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grant Whitley Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 I took this on a hiking trail at the base of Pilot Knob on Pilot Mountain last fall: http://img297.imageshack.us/img297/1889/dscf00550uj.jpg And another, from the same trail.

Doug Kibbey Posted July 26, 2005 Share Posted July 26, 2005 Testing, testing.... New cars are nice, but I like the old stuff. From the not-a-replica department. '57 TR, 427 Cobra, itty-bitty lotus with CC engine....unbelievably clean. Inboard disc brakes, imagine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FlyingCanOpener Posted July 27, 2005 Share Posted July 27, 2005 Unrelated to the above... If you look carefully, you can see the 2nd rainbow. And my cousin's dog, Tipsy.

Juan Sosa Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 Some of my pictures from my recent trip to Portland, OR. Rose Garden in Washington Park. Oregon sign on the west side of the Freemont bridge in downtown Portland. "Super Rabbit" B-25 in the Evergreen Aviation Museum. Spruce Goose, SR-71 and Delta II (or was it a D IV?) B-17 and Spruce Goose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Nelson Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Nice shots of the Evergreen Museum Juan. Nice to see the Spruce Goose has a good home.Love the time exposure shot. How many seconds was that? You must have used a tripod, of course.Testing, testing.... New cars are nice, but I like the old stuff.I like the old stuff too. Big fan of Jim Clark, Graham Hill, the Lotus 49.So where were your photos taken?Not sure yet if I'll be going back to Lime Rock for The Rolex Vintage Festival on Labor Day. Aston Martin will be featured this year, Carroll Shelby will be there, as will racing cars from Alfa Romeo, Allard, Bentley, BMW, Brabham, Ferrari, Jaguar, Lola, Lotus, Maserati, MG, Porsche, Shelby, Triumph and more.

The only problem with it is that it is practically impossible to get a decent picture of the craft. You would need a really wide angle lens to do it. The exposure is 3.2 seconds with @ f/20. I did use my tripod. People were looking at me like I was insane carrying it all over downtowm Portland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivanhoe Posted October 8, 2005 Share Posted October 8, 2005 Canon does it again. The EOS-5D. 12.8 MP, full frame sensor, improved viewfinder. Doesn't support EF-S lenses.

Still too expensive though. Looks like I'll have to wait a couple more years before the price of full frames will come down to my budget. And if anyone doubted it, this is yet another reason to avoid EF-S lenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephan Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 (edited) Finally I was able to agglomerate enough money to afford my camera of choice! I've decided for the D70s, since I already had a film Nikon and a lens I really wanted to continue to use (Sigma 70-300 APO macro 1:4-5,6). I also bought the SB-600 Speedlight for the camera. Sadly, the weather started to worsen over hear and I am loaded with work right now anyway, so there's not really enough time to go on the photo trips I'd love to do. At least I found the time to try out a few things on Sunday:A typical artificial lake in the area around Clausthal, used as water supply for the mining done in that area several hundred years ago (If you understand german, just read the sign).A canal connecting the different lakes and mines with each ohter.

Ivanhoe Posted November 1, 2005 Share Posted November 1, 2005 The EF-S series won't fit on a number of Canon camera bodies. So if you buy a Canon DSLR that takes the EF-S lenses, and invest kilobucks in a bunch of EF-S lenses, then later on buy a DSLR w/ 36mm sensor or a 35mm film body, you won't be able to use the EF-S lenses. And when the market is finally flooded with consumer grade 36mm DSLRs, the used market price for those EF-Ses will tank. Some of the EF-S lenses are of "L" quality according to the reviews, but Canon isn't sanctifying the top shelf EF-Ss with the saintly red ring.
