Uploaded images

Managed to find the time to upload some images I captured over the weekend tonight. Was quite pleased with the outcome considering I was mainly on the move and rarely had time to sit in one spot!!
I will be uploading some more tomorrow.

I am finding its easier to talk about and understand the composition of my images after doing lots of research for eg Composition Tips  I visit this site quite often and have found this particular article very useful as it covers a variety of key factors for composition in photography

TTFN

Tick Tock

Manual, ISO 400, F/7.1, SS 1/125, 70mm

I love this photograph, home is where the heart is!

The composition is well balanced and almost perfectly symmetrical. It ambiguitive as you very rarely look at the liver buildings from this point of view.

Great juxtaposition due to the angle of the photo, making the two clock faces side by side.

Dew drops

ISO 3200, F/5.6, SS 1/30. 55mm

Behind the lens

ISO400. F/7.1, shutter speed 1/320 70mm

One of my best shots, this image has great shallow depth of field. It also has no negative space, the composition is very dynamic. The viewers eyes start at the main focus point, the ladies sunglasses, onto the looking space in front of her ( the fountains) which is where her companion appears to be looking, then, back to her.

Although their heads are at different angles I think there is quite a strong juxtapose as their bodies positioning is almost identical. The ladies expression is very distant, I cant quite figure out if she is happy in the NOW or appears to be happy thinking of pastimes?

Depth of field

I have attached a few pics of mine I did back.in Australia that demonstrate narrow and wide depth of field. Take a look x

Should be in ALL street photographers pockets!

Whilst researching the internet on street photography I came across this handy little doc. It gives you advice on all the sticky situations you may find yourself in when engaging in street photography. Im gonna print it off and keep it with my cam at all times

The photographers right

Go take a look

Street is the word!

I went to Liverpool and nature walk with my family this weekend armed with my camera to experiment with street photography and my settings on my dslr camera. I played about with aperture priority and a shutter speed of 1/125 and went hardcore and opted mostly for completely manual, yes u read right MANUAL! Was very difficult at times asbo was constantlt moving through shadows and in the shade then into bright Sunlight etc so I had to change my settings almost everytime I went to snap. Was real fun though and getting a bit.more confident about photographing in public.
I will be uploading a few images tomorrow after finding some spare time to go thru them, I'm sure there are some keepers, or at least I hope so!
