Photos Photo of the Day

Couple more pics of our puppy honey as she grows. D700 and 50 1.8D at f2.

 

She looks almost exactly like my dog Poppy looked as a puppy. Except my dog has caramel tips on her ears. More excellent photos .

Excellent picture Tim, I like how it looks so 'natural'.

Cake toppers made by mum for friends wedding cakes.

 

The pics are ok (I hope you don't my saying that) but the fact that those are cake toppers blew my fuzzy little mind.

 

No, that's cool. I don't own a lightbox, so these were literally a sheet of white paper on top of a washing machine.

The flowers were made from a sugar florist paste, which dries really quickly, and the dragon was an experimental mix of icings. There were three cakes at the wedding, gluten free, devils’ food cake and a fruit cake (the dragon cake,) the latter having the first slice made by the bride and groom with a longsword (hand and a half.)

 

Just a couple from our recent trip:

Atlantis standing on the pad, patiently awaiting the final countdown of the Space Shuttle Program.

Atlantis left behind this exhaust plume after it blasted off from Launch Complex 39b.

 

DUUUUUUDE.

I wanted to go so very badly but my goddamned classes got in the way, as always.

I cried on Friday morning.

@Silver51,

Nice shot and nice find the scene.

 

Awesome picture. Puppies seem to love the camera. Makes me want to get another puppy.

 

Barely worthy of these forums but I'd appreciate any advice on how to improve a shot like this.


Guildford Cathedral

 

Haven't done much over the past few weeks. Here's a shot from a while back.

great work Tim - the colour's are amazing! morning or evening?

 

Thanks - it's very late evening (about 20 mins after sunset)

 

Excellent shot, Tim. I think the sky is good and bad - the clouds are fantastic but the highlights are a bit jarring.

And ladies and jellyspoons, this is what happens when you shoot away from the sun with a CPL filter.

I see what you mean... maybe adding some black into the yellow channel would sort that out? I steered away from using a polariser because I didn't want to risk uneven polarisation across the sky due to using a relatively wide angle lens. I also didn't want to increase saturation much further as Velvia's already pretty mad at this time of day - this is toned down compared to the original transparency.

 

Did you just post an edited version? Unless I'm going nuts, the sky looks better now.
