41/365 - Blue sky building

One of the Buildings in University.
Saw the sky and the reflections and thought it a good pic.
You decide.

40/365 - In the Driving Seat

Picture from inside my rover 400.
Caught it with all the lights on from start-up sequence.

39/365 Uni wall

The wall overlooking the church from the University of Glamorgan's upper Glyntaf Campus.

Night Time shooting - Starry skys

This is not an easy image to capture. A slight bit of movement over the exposure time and the objects become blurry, that and the problem that you are technically trying to focus on something that is millions of miles away...all hindrances to good quality pictures.

these ones came out ok though. So have a look:

The lens collection - slowly building

I'm experimenting with different styles of photography, but I am certainly on a budget. I enjoy taking pictures...but I am not about to go and spend half my income on lenses and camera parts to carry on doing it. I am a 2nd hand man, with an eye for a bargain I like to think.

So with that in mind I picked up some nice manual focus and aperture lenses to get the effects I am after.
Here they are as they stand right now:

from left to right: Canon Ef 28-80mm, (front) Helios-44 58mm f2 prime, (back) Sirius 70-300mm f.4.0-5.6, (front) Pentacon 50mm f1.8 prime, (back) Prinzgalaxy 135mm f3.5 Prime, (front) 0.46x Wide converter on 58-46mm step down ring, (back) Macro extension tubes (non focus).

That is the extent of the collection right now. But I am looking to add a Canon telephoto lens instead of the Sirius.

Day 37 - More HDR

Thought I would delve into a little more HDR while I was in Manchester.
Got this one off the apartment balcony.

Thought this came out particularly well to be honest.

Day 36 - A Leaf, Aloof!

This carefree leaf caught my eye, and i fancied getting in that green Bokeh hue in the background too.
Thought is a nice end of summer/beginning of autumn shot.
