Ryan Mason Posted May 16, 2014 Share Posted May 16, 2014 Alex, great shots as always, I have taken a shot from a boat under that very bridge, I will have to see if I can dig it out. It's of course no where near the quality of yours as it was before I had my pro gear. Found it. Sorry about the quality, I had to save it off my business FB page as I am at work.

Bushmonkey Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Some great shots posted in this forum. I got back into it in the past couple of years. Got a K-5 last year and did some shooting in Germany and Iceland. Iceland is AWESOME for the purity of its colors and no pollution. Took some of the best shots as an amateur. Was in St. Maarten a few weeks ago at Maho beach spent 2 hours with a cheap camera wish I had the good one with me something every simmer should put on their bucketlist. Havnt had time to do much simming or process what I have shot in the past year due to teaching this year but hopefully this summer since I am going nowhere. I'll post some when the students are gone for the summer. Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan Mason Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 A few "in action" shots another photographer got of me this weekend on a job. Sometimes getting "the" shot is all about access. As you can see, He was in the bullpen but I was able to be up with the marshal due to being the official photographer for the event. Here's also a couple from my position.

sightseer Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 Thanks to all of you for sharing your work. Theres some extremely good stuff here. I love the black and whites, and the textures and landscapes. very good stuff. when I was younger I had a Pentax K-1000 that my parents gave me for Christmas. I took as many shots as I could afford to have developed at the time. My favorite shots were ones that either told a story or compared two naturally occurring subjects. Alex's bird and plane shadow is an example of that. I love that kind of thing. My current camera is just a cheap Canon but Ive taken some good shots with it - good to me anyway. I've wanted to get a better camera but I find it hard to justify. anyway...nice photos and thanks for sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Abdey Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 What do you guys use as an image format?... I have just bought a new DSLR (Canon 70D 18-135mm + 55-250mm) and am thinking about using RAW for more serious shooting, keeping JPEG for family stuff. What sort of workflow do you use, and what format for a final export... I've only used JPEG up till now. I've looked at Lightroom and find it quite daunting, but my current version of Photoshop will not open my RAW files directly, so have to convert them to DN format, and then they seem to have some slight colour issues compared to the RAW processed through Lightroom. I also have the free Digital Photo Professional that comes with the camera, but that is a little limiting, though I can then export as a TIFF and do further work in PS. I'm not sure what to do.. muddle though using two programs, or invest in Lightroom and get to grips with it. I only want to work on single images, but LR does seem geared toward batch work and cataloguing which just seems to get in my way. Anyway, I would be interested to hear how you guys go about workflow... and any advice greatly received. A couple from the new camera, which I'm still getting to grips with, esp. having used Nikon for several years. Part of a sculpture, with mirrors allowing to look up through the tree canopy, though I think my son is more interested in looking at himself.

Ryan Mason Posted June 10, 2014 Share Posted June 10, 2014 I use lightroom and have the same issue with RAW in photoshop. I've even downloaded all the plugins that they say are supposed to work for my camera's RAW format. All to no avail. But it's not nearly as daunting as you think it is. I did a few tutorials online and I was away. It's super easy with the sliders on it. I find that every time I am looking to do the same things in PS I end up having to research where to find what I want online as I can't figure it out myself.

Patrick Cox Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 I shoot mostly in RAW but if I am doing any shots that will end up here or on my Facebook page I use a multi format of RAW+JPG.

Mark Abdey Posted June 11, 2014 Share Posted June 11, 2014 Mark the shot of your son is great, tell him to keep rubbing the lamp Thanks - its hard to get a good shot of him as he rarely stops moving and if he sees my pointing the camera at him, he pulls a silly face. I use lightroom and have the same issue with RAW in photoshop. I've even downloaded all the plugins that they say are supposed to work for my camera's RAW format. All to no avail. But it's not nearly as daunting as you think it is. I did a few tutorials online and I was away. It's super easy with the sliders on it. I find that every time I am looking to do the same things in PS I end up having to research where to find what I want online as I can't figure it out myself. Thanks Ryan.. I must take a look at some of the tutorials online, they're a great help in getting to grips with new programs. At the moment I feel like I'm doing things, with the sliders etc. and getting ok results, but I'm not sure quite sure how I got there; it all feels a bit random. Whereas in Photoshop I know what I'm doing, to some degree anyway... I think working in RAW requires a different mindset that will take some time to adjust too. I shoot mostly in RAW but if I am doing any shots that will end up here or on my Facebook page I use a multi format of RAW+JPG. All my editing is done in Corel PaintShop Photo Pro X5. I think I will do the same thing, its far too awkward to shot everything in just RAW and less easy to quickly go though the images, as less apps will open them...in fact for most stuff, like family pictures I will use JPEG only to save space. I've never looked at Corel... I wonder how it handles Canon RAW if it does so at all? I'm aging now, and I have degraded from a film SLR, to a DSLR to a Cybershot point and shoot, and, wash my mouth out, the ultimate sleeping in the street, iPhone and/or the iPad. I don't think the tools are that important, and there is too much emphasis on gear. Nice though good kit is, obviously the person behind the lens is more important... I've seen some amazing project done on iPhones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 70D is not listed, so may need a new version or update... anyway, I think I'm going to stick with DDP and CS2 which I'm getting a good, efficient workflow with, though I may get Lightroom at a later date..... I bought a Canon 'Nifty-Fifty' 50mm 1.8 Prime today... otherwise known as the 'plastic fantastic' which is a cheap, but optically great lens. Its nice to have a lens that allows wide-open apertures, for selective focus, or stopped-down for really crisp images.... Its also an interesting exercise, just going out with a prime, where you really have to think about composition. Its kind of like using a limited palette with painting, forcing you to focus on the subject, and the best way to achieve the result your looking for. I'm only just starting out with the 50mm, but here is an early shot with it with my boys and a baby toad, they found in the garden tonight.

Great shot Francois Thanks Taph WOW! that is superb François. Its a great topic... there is some real talent here. Thanks Mark. It was a last minute opportunity, when I thought that the photo session was over. Taken in Quebec City, about one kilometer from my home. I was taking pictures of something totally different, and on my way back to the car I saw this special combination of interesting insect and flower. Too much in one small shot to resist a last capture. Taken with a Macro 100mm. No need to go to the end of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
