@xc4sper21 Good luck.

@abraxus Nice staircase. 😀 I’ve also been meaning to do some long exposure photography myself.

Very nice! I really liked the one of the stones, it’s really got something to it. Photoshopped?

It’s a 100 second exposure with a ND filter. I don’t edit any pictures in Photoshop, just in Lightroom as imho a good picture should already come out from the camera and not the computer. Good luck with your own ambitions ?

There is CameraRaw plugin for Photoshop, which I’ve been using for years. Tried getting used to Lightroom as it is easier to manage photos that way, but CamerawRaw is just quicker to use for single photos, for me at least.

Nice pics everyone.
I love the Budapest one the most 🙂 .

There’s darktable for linux. It’s pretty much the same as Lightroom except it’s free.

My first attempt at time lapse video.

It took me a while but as promsed here are my Scotland pictures. Right away: we were hiking and everybody had a phone with him for snapshots and at some point I gave up taking my time with takig pictures and then running for 200 meters to catch up so most of these pictures are more or less snapshots as well 😀 . Anyways I hope didn’t do too much of an awful job 🙂

Edinburgh:

The view from Edinburgh Castle.

I wanted to try a little bit of long exposure just for shits and gigs and we had about 5 minutes to get back to our hostels so I just autofocused something, put the camera on a trash can for some kind of stabilization and pressed the button. It’s not sharp at all but accaptable if it’s small and you don’t look too closely 😀

You can see the Castle in the background on this one.

Loch Lomond:

I don’t know the name of that mountain, I just liked the clouds (I also just noticed the leafs on the top right corner… :/ )

Loch lomont really felt like a trip in the tropics. It was hot, wet and there were Insect all over the place. At some point we weren’t sure if we really were in Scotland ^^
I didn’t rally take pictures for half a day after that. We did a 35 Km walk so I put away ma camera too have it a bit easier. Never really hiked before and it was a bit much (weak 😛 ) ^^
But we walked throught the kind of landscape I was expecting and I also liked it a lot more. Here a picture I took with my phone:

Crianlarich:

That’s it 🙂

Nice pictures Casper. Was that the West Highland Way?

west highland way

Yes 🙂 Have you been there as well ?

Nice pictures man, now I’d like to go on a hike, too 🙂

Good pictures @xc4sper21 . What camera did you use?

I hopefully take some, when I’m off to Faroe Islands on sunday.

@remi
Nikon D5100 mainly with the kit lens. Bought it 4 years ago.

Nice. You even have the horizon straight. 😀

If your lens has marker for infinity focus, it’s handy during dark hours, should your camera refuse to focus otherwise.

@xc4sper21: No, but i take great interest in travelling the highlands one day as well (never have been there). I am most interested in a road trib though.

My first go with star trails. Luckyliy Sony made an app for my camera, so it makes it into a video automatically. Still the camera spent two hours taking all the pictures.
