Inspired by Karl Taylor

Just watched the Karl Taylor dvd from Dave, gives some really good tips and the more I hear Aperature and Shutter being explained the more I understand it.

Got a good idea for a theme to which was helpful, based on movement in pictures and capturing the light trails.  Being 5 minutes from the airport I think that could be a good place to do a few test shots tomorrow evening.

I'll post some pics tomorrow night hopefully.

Good example here of Karls, you can see how the effect of slowing the shutter right down has created the movement in the water.

Week 2 - another idea for a theme!

Built Environments, lots of interesting buildings about, could do the theme in black and white and adopt the dramatic feel that Ansel Adams used for some of his famous Lanscape photos.

Perhaps the world’s best known black and white landscape photographer, Ansel Adams is remembered for his beautiful photos of the American landscape. Adams was a master of black and white printing processes and pioneered the zone system, a method of analysing exposure to produce high quality black and white prints.

Picture By Ansel Adams

Picture by myself, again its one i have taken before staring the course in full auto mode.  Changed to black and white and played with the exposure a little to try and get a dramatic, haunted look i guess.

Plenty of buildings about, churches, cathedrals, estate's, office's etc so could be fun!
