Day 25 – Unison Strike

Graeme — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 19:19:29 +0000

Today I’ve gone for something a little different. This is a sign the protesters were holding outside the town hall today. Not really great for artistic content, but it’s more a photographic record of the moment.

Day 23 – RBS Reflection

Graeme — Mon, 14 Jul 2008 20:38:06 +0000

This is a new building next to the one I work in. With the RBS building reflected in it.

Trying a script from the forums for framing my shots with a little info on them.

Day 21 – Polly wants a cracker…

Day 19 – Wedding Ring

Graeme — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 22:42:05 +0000

I’m going away with the Scouts over the weekend so I won’t be able to upload my photos. I’ll upload them all on Sunday when I return. We are going to Tatton, so hopefully I’ll be able to get some good captures of the dear.

Camera:  	Canon EOS 30D
Exposure: 	0.008 sec (1/125)
Aperture: 	f/9
Focal Length: 	50 mm
ISO Speed: 	800
Exposure Bias: 	0/3 EV

High ISO was due to manual flash and wanting to keep the aperture fairly small.

Day 18 – Is the 365 thing a waste of time?

Graeme — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 21:58:49 +0000

Shot this on the break at band. I’m not really happy with this image. Which is leading me to wonder that if I don’t like the photo, should I really be publishing it in order to make sure I manage one a day. Surely it’s the attempt to shoot that matters to my photographic improvement not the publishing.

On the other hand, by publishing I suppose I have an online record of it all, but I don’t think this is a good photo, so what is it representative of?

Camera:  	Canon EOS 30D
Exposure: 	0.004 sec (1/250)
Aperture: 	f/22
Focal Length: 	50 mm
ISO Speed: 	800
Exposure Bias: 	0/3 EV

Day 17 – It’s about time…

Graeme — Tue, 08 Jul 2008 21:51:08 +0000

More playing with manual flash exposure. It currently seems to be real trial and error. I could do with getting it down somehow.

Camera:  	Canon EOS 30D
Exposure: 	0.067 sec (1/15)
Aperture: 	f/11
Focal Length: 	50 mm
ISO Speed: 	400
Exposure Bias: 	0/3 EV

Day 16 – Two Pounds

Graeme — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 18:20:22 +0000

Another macro shot. Just playing around. I think I need some more focus for these daily shots. Like a mini project if you would. Anyone got any themes or suggestions otherwise?

Camera: Canon EOS 30D
Exposure: 0.04 sec (1/25)
Aperture: f/5.6
Focal Length: 50 mm
ISO Speed: 400
Exposure Bias: 0/3 EV
Flash: Flash did not fire

Yes the flash did fire. It seems that when I’m using my off camera remote on manual the exif information doesn’t appear.Â Anyway, it fired on 1/32 power reflecting off the ceiling.

Day 15 – Werneth Lowe Panoramic

Graeme — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 21:13:33 +0000

This isnt’t the best shot I’ve taken, but I’m trying to complete one a day, so here it is! It’s Manchester from Werneth Lowe Ridge.

It’s actually multiple portrait shots peiced together, but the stats below hold true for all the shots taken.

Camera:  	Canon EOS 30D

Aperture: 	f/11
Focal Length: 	40 mm
ISO Speed: 	100

Day 14 – New Glass

Graeme — Sat, 05 Jul 2008 13:21:10 +0000

Look how sharp this is on my new 70-200mm F/4 L previously I was using an archeic 100-200mm that was dog slow and very soft.

Exposure: 	0.001 sec (1/1250)
Aperture: 	f/4
Focal Length: 	200 mm

100% crop.

Day 13 – Little Sis

Graeme — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 18:07:50 +0000

This is my little sis. I tried adding a little fill in flash to kill the shadows below her nose, but it didn’t quite look natural. Anyway out of the series this one came out as my favorite. The colour version isn’t too bad either.

Camera:  	Canon EOS 30D
Exposure: 	1/4000 sec
Aperture: 	f/1.8
Focal Length: 	50 mm
ISO Speed: 	400
Exposure Bias: 	0/3 EV
