framheim Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 I've been eying that tree-up for the last few days, just a little snow to pick up its colour around it would make the shot perfect IMO. heh, i've been thinking that too. hope they leave it up for a wee while after christmas so i can get a chance to shoot it.

David Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 Anderson drive and looking from the Bridge of Don out over Seaton (please just ignore all the scan lines and muck on the photo, it was scanned in a hurray and needs to be cleaned up and redone again, just haven't had time)Those were me playing about a bit, only recently decided to try and get out a bit more to take some photos though, so they aren't quite up to scratch yet...The building on Esslemont Avenure? That the Grammar School? if it is theres a handy gate you can walk in through Though my pictures were only really an attempt to see how night time stuff would come out, so not particularly well thoguht outDavid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Craig C Posted December 22, 2006 Report Share Posted December 22, 2006 They are pretty good shots Just ordered an R72 infra red filter for one of my lenses today. I can't wait to get out using that beauty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

framheim Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Here's my attempt from a few nights back...i like it. the only thing i'd say is burn in the flare on the sky so that it's a good black, it looks a little dirty there and i think it would've worked better if the lampost and the main pillar of hmt was going straight up and down instead of leaning to the right slightly. this may be caused by using 35mm to shoot tall buildings though.it's a good composition tip in general though, watch for vertical and horizontal lines and try and keep them at 90 degree angles unless you're going for a purposely skewed viewpoint. it can make the difference between an average and a good picture.

Guest Craig C Posted December 23, 2006 Report Share Posted December 23, 2006 Comments appreciated EDIT: For anyone who's interested in landscape phtography and little bit of studio work, this guy John Waller has some amazing photographs. Especially of Edinburgh and Glasgow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

framheim Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 yea looks good and i'd be well up for winning a telescope but alas amateurs only pussys half the amatuers are probably just as good as pro photographers they just have proper careers and education Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lepeep Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 do you have to prove that you are not a professional photographer?....I am not a professional photgrapher, but I sometimes take a neat snap...we'll see....PS, Pogo...I put it in the "jobs / opportunities" section...Opportunitiesthat goes for anybody else who awnts an opportunity broadcast on Creative Cultures...Visual arts, Written word, Music....if you think CCS can help get you a bigger viewing audience for your opportunity, let me know. I'll see what I can do.yours, Phil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogofish Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 I'm not sure about that. I've no role in the running of the contest. Emailing Martyn Gorman at the museum would be the best bet for an answer - m.gorman@abdn.ac.ukThanks, there have been other events/exhibitions that would have fitted-in there. I'll remember it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
framheim Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 i'd imagine so long as you don't make your main living from photography you're ok. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pogofish Posted March 18, 2008 Report Share Posted March 18, 2008 Yes, that is about the gist of it for most contests that I've seen.Other contests run here before before have been well-entered by art students & the like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
