Greboth 2,721 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Hi all, With Spacedeck joining and talking about his interest in photography it has spurred me to make this thread as it is also an interest of mine. I'm sure there are others on here too so I thought I'd create this thread to show off you photo's, talk about them or for anyone looking for advice on camera's to composition. So I guess as I started this thread I should go first so I've been into photography for years finally upgrading to a DSLR about 10-12 years ago. A few different ones until getting to the kit I have below. Though I am thinking of making the change to a 7000 series Nikon but that is more of a shiny new toy itch rather than any actual need. My preferred photography is landscapes or people though as you'll see I take a lot of pictures of birds (the flappy flying kind not the female kind ) My kit currently consists of; Nikon D5100 Nikon 18-55mm kit lens Nikon 55-200mm zoom lens Nikon 35mm Prime lens Manfrotto Tripod Yongnuo Speedlight Skywatcher Star Adventurer star tracker Various remotes, reflectors, ND filters etc. phil bottle and GazzaGarratt 2 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/6165-the-big-fg-photography-thread/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

NCA-Paendrag 2,758 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Nice pics. Specially the birds.

Spacedeck 920 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 Ok so I don't have a showcase to add until I get out and take better pictures / learn to edit the images I have. For now though, I can atleast list what I have and also what I would like to add. Nikon D3300 NIKKOR 18-55mm VR II NIKKOR 35mm NIKKOR 55-300mm Lowepro Adventura 170AW (bag) Things I would like to add: Tripod or Monopod UV filters Macro lens Not sure what else I could do with. phil bottle 1 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/6165-the-big-fg-photography-thread/#findComment-109330 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess that's where you separate good and bad cameras 🙂 Sort of, as a general rule DSLR’s will just take better quality photos regardless because of the larger sensors in them than standard cameras / phones. However where DSLR’s have a massive advantage is changable lenses. In none of the bird photos was I actually stood that close, I simply was using a zoom lens. Equally changable lenses are also what makes DSLR’s a pain.

Spacedeck 920 Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 @Greboth are them images original or cropped? Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/6165-the-big-fg-photography-thread/#findComment-109336 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greboth 2,721 Posted August 4, 2018 Author Share Posted August 4, 2018 @Spacedeck From memory, all the bird ones are cropped except the duck one. All the others are as taken. Though depending on the photo some have sight level adjustments etc. Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/6165-the-big-fg-photography-thread/#findComment-109337 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacedeck 920 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Yeah, really like the ducks and pic 0351. Man, I can't afford an expensive tripod, any to look out for that usually sell second hand around 30 quid? Someone on OcUK currently selling a cheap tripod for 30 but I'm not even sure... I keep reading good and bad points and it kinda puts me off. Although I know I probably won't find a better one for cheaper.

GazzaGarratt 11,056 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 Do you take your camera everywhere Greebs or just on specific photo trips? A friend of mine tends to take his dog for a early in the morning and takes pics everyday on his walk. A spiders web with morning dew is a pretty good picture to capture.

I can’t say I know of any to specifically recommend as it depends on what comes up for sale. All I can say is go for a branded one and not some cheap one. I had a cheap one when I first started but it wasn’t all that stable and it has quite limited adjustment. My current one was about £60 new and is far more stable and much better quality. 2 hours ago, GazzaGarratt said: Do you take your camera everywhere Greebs or just on specific photo trips?

Seems to go for around £20. I think I need to look for a ballhead and not a 3 way though.

Greboth 2,721 Posted August 5, 2018 Author Share Posted August 5, 2018 @Spacedeck I’m out at the moment so can’t check the box but looking at Manfrotto’s site. I think it’s this one (If it isn’t, it’s one extremely similar). https://www.manfrotto.co.uk/compact-action-aluminium-tripod-with-hybrid-head-black Edit: I'm home now and can confirm it is this one.

The3rdWalker 1,271 Posted August 5, 2018 Share Posted August 5, 2018 So my wife saw this thread and had a few questions. If you’re wanting to upgrade my wife could be curious buying your current camera body but only if it’s full frame. Second, and she’s also curious what 35mm Prime Penske you have. She uses an 85mm f/1.4 prime but wants a 35mm.

As for my prime, it is a Nikon 35mm 1.8DX.

Spacedeck 920 Posted March 13, 2019 Share Posted March 13, 2019 @Greboth still taking photos? I'm currently trying to get to grips with LR so I can edit my images. Once this storm calms down, I might head out with my camera again. I haven't used it in ages 😔. Anyway, as I'm still working on most of my old images, I've only worked on these two at the moment. Going to stick these ones behind a spoiler tag.

tronic44 3,642 Posted March 14, 2019 Share Posted March 14, 2019 There's some damn nice photos in this thread, would love to see more from you guys and others. I've always wanted a nice camera but have always talked myself out of it and spent the money on stupid stuff instead. I might change that soon.

Greboth 2,721 Posted March 14, 2019 Author Share Posted March 14, 2019 Nice pictures @Spacedeck The second is really fantastic. I’m a bit like you and haven’t used my camera in a while. I always find it harder to motivate myself to go out through winter. Though I never posted my ones from Goodwood so should post them, I know there’s a few car people on here.

It is, part of me has thought about doing some editing in Photoshop to try and blend me out, which I might still try at some point to see how it looks. 2 hours ago, Greboth said: Nice pictures @Spacedeck The second is really fantastic.

When I'm out walking, I often see opportunities for capturing moving trains across a bridge, that would look pretty cool in an evening settings with a pinkish sky in the background. I still need to buy a tripod for landscapes 😑.
