You're a pretty talented bunch! Some of the photos here are incredible! I'm envious!

Fantastic shots as always, Brett.

Did you use the 'miniature' mode on that last shot with the boats?

Nope was just a normal 15-55mm lens from memory , I just gave it a little tweak in PS to try and make some "tilt shift" type shot as I can't afford the proper lens lol
I have a fair few shot like them that look like little models or miniature etc , its pretty good if you use the right type of shot.

Yeah he did, just answering in Bretts absence

Wrong ....

Wrong ....

oops sorry just looked like miniature mode had been used :/

I did some light painting once - short lived hobby of mine when I found out I wasn't overly good at it because I lacked creativity... but this was what came of it anyway (Nadzzz photos made me think of it and it's something completely different)

Staying with completely different - using an Olympus point and shoot (from around early 2001) I took this photo of my brother under a streetlamp on an 8 second exposure (no one can tell you that a point and shoot doesn't take creative shots).

Also from the 'creative' boundaries - an oldie but a goodie... M&Ms in water... Yep - that's all it is!!!

And finally from the night files - with a Tim Burtonesque feel to it (so it was told on Redbubble) - the sugar mill at Gordonvale - only a few metres from where the cane toad was released!

Oh, BTW, those photoshop enthusiasts... This has absolutely NONE of that - even the light painting is as is!!! There was no need to change a thing in any of these photos

Im not going to touch the photoshop debate, I think both ways have there place and its a personal thing.
I take some shots with the purpose to photoshop and other photos dont need it.

Slim - awesome photos, mate!! I love the sugar mill shot
Nadzzz - Awesome shot! I love how the sparks look like that after long exposure.
Dickyknee - Great work I really love the shot where you're looking through the old piping? through to the ocean

Wow trouble i like that one of yours with the stick scraping along the sand

 

[jordanmulder]

^^agreed

Thanks guys, that was going to be one of my entries into the Canon EOS Photo5 competition, but I chose another shot instead. It was a very close call though. My cousin has an amazing imagination to help me see different images. He helped come up with the idea of that shot

 

[xJACKx]

could you post the one you entered?

Make a wish by TroublePython, on Flickr

My two youngest cousins blowing powder into the wind. I entered it because of the colours, it stands out a bit more. The brief was 'powder' so you had to use the powder in the box to make a creative image.

 

[Nadzzz]

Keep this thread going.

 

[jordanmulder]

Two more
unfortunately I reckon the sun in the first one is a bit too overpowering so heres to the people who don't agree with photoshop, without it I couldn't have even got it to this stage, So What were my problems? the sun was No1 behinde the rocks so I knew that they would turn out black if I made them my subject like I normaly do so instead I deceded put them in the backround and make the water flow and sand my subjet, I then on photoshop had adjust them a little on photoshop to get them to make them look more even, but realy that wasn't exactly enough... What I should have realy done is taken two exposures and blended them together.... but we live and learn.

[Moreliavridis]
