Mostly Natural Images from in and around Sheffield

[Phanerothyme 12]

Some pictures I have taken recently and not so recently. If you would like full resolution versions, I will happily mail them to you (or you can have prints direct to your door via shutterfly.com)

 

Anyway the pictures are here

 

Like to know what you all think (I have thousands, but mostly of my son).

Great pictures - like the sunset ones in particular.

Some very nice pictures of sunsets Phanerothyme you tried taking pics of the moon?

[Phanerothyme 12]

No. I don't have any lenses long enough, and 3x zoom is all ill get out of this digicam.

 

Thing with the moon is, no matter how big it looks, you can always cover it with your thumbnail (adult male thumb YMMV).

The sunset pics practically take themselves.

 

It's a lovely little rocky outcrop, perfect for pondering and reflecting. And at the summer solstice it faces the setting sun perfectly.

 

The whole landscape around that little enclave of the SSSI at Wyming Brook is curiously fairytale. Almost like a film set, compact but very fully featured and ornate with detail. I am really drawn to it.

Fishing for more compliments/criticisms.

 

Geoff didn't you start posting images of Sheffield on here or somewhere? Maybe a web site where we can post images of Sheffield and friends (not like that Sheffield Uncovered site tho (steam escapes from collar))

I bought a Nikon f65........still learning a lot about photography and would love to take photos like this.....were any filters used? esp for the sunsets

[Phanerothyme 12]

these images were taking with a nikon coolpix 2500 and 3500 digicam, no filters were used, but I used manual mode and underexposed by a stop or so to capture the full gamut of colours in the darker sunset pics. Also used scene modes 'sunset', 'landscape' and 'night landscape'. most of the sunset pics were also taken at full zoom.

 

like I say, if you expose correctly (i.e underexpose slightly) when photographing sunsets, they pretty much take themselves.

 

Never really seen the point of filters, since they never add information to an image, only reduce information.

Those are gorgeous, really lovely.

Have you shown Jon the green fuzzy ectoplasmic shadow next to the boy on the Endcliffe Park one? (or have I got something on my screen...)

Hey, how do you feel about selling you images or lending them to charity? Only, I think the Trust's Nature Reserves team might be interested in the Wyming Brook photos.

Ever considered and freelance work? Seriously. I'm looking for a photographer for a project in Norfolk Park.

 

Good work.

What's the project in norfolk park? I'm quite happy to lend my time and pictures to good causes.

 

I would be very happy to donate my pictures, copyright free to anyone for a charitable cause. Post details here or PM them to me if you'd prefer

 

I have lots of landscape photos from Yorkshire - want to see some more?

(and 2000 photos of a certain little boy called Erik)

The hazy green blob is a camera flare artefact. Sorry to be so mundane...
