submit a photo to the urban75 critics

[danski]

wow, cheers for that..really simple when explained like that
ive often used auto levels before, but can often get a colour cast and being new to pshop never delved any further
it seems very similar to audio recording then normalising ie. taking the loudest signal possible and getting the puter to make up the rest of the gain
cheers

you can buy something called a magic arm that bolts onto anything attatched to it is a flexible arm so you can bend the camera into whatever position you want

cheers

How do you expect an opinion on something we can barely see? It looks interesting but it's hard to tell without the detail.

 

[eco-tart]

i'm still learning my way round the computer got image up in image shack dont know how too link it to urban

 

[Firky]

Its pretty self explanatory, it will give you a list of links to the bigger image once it is uploaded, you then post one of those links to here.

What is that? Looks like a dangerous game of Kerplunk.

I took this the other day at the park with some friends:

Is that claremont road?

Cool pic

 

[eco-tart]

yup

yes it's claremont road on first day of eviction but i prefer the description of a dangerous game of kerplunk - instead of balls though you have yogurt weavers

 

[craigxcraig]

This is my favourite picture from my recent trip to India - had been following this guy around for ages, he part of this huge procession I'd stumbled across. I caught two piccys of him and stupidly deleted my favourite!

First time i've done this and not sure how it looks - took me ages to get up!

 

[Firky]

If you want to upload a decent sized pic for review:

1] Make it at least 640px on its widest side @ <72dpi (don't go below 50dpi otherwise it will look shit). Keeping it at a low dpi will stop people making prints of it

2] Watermark if you're still worried about people nicking it.

3] Upload it to www.imageshack.us and post the URL here.

If you don't have photoshop, there's Gimp.

 

[red_joker]

im not that experienced but i'm learning!

 

[Firky]

It is alright, little out of focus and the colours are a bit on the muted side. It could of also been framed more aesthetically, but like you said you're still learning

Also, I have a thing against photographs of things that are inherently beautiful anyway (nothing against the photograph or yourself), it is just not my bag! Flowers are pretty anyway... I personally am not drawn to shooting them. But that is just me!

Anyway, here's a couple of mine:

[tangerinedream]

Taken near Saltford, betwixt Bath and Bristol. It's a tree with the river in the background. Not the highest quality image on earth.

[Markyd]

Ignore the date thing fucking camera.

 

[DJ Bigga]

Shooting conditions caused quite a heavy blue hue across the whole image. I've managed to tone most of it down but can't get rid of the last little bit without making the pic look unreal

 

[Markyd]

Wheres that and how'd you get the angle?

 

[DJ Bigga]

Wheres that and how'd you get the angle?

1) It's the Pyrenees Mountains.

2) I'm very tall.

 

[Markyd]

Excellent picture.

Desaturate the blues/cyans:

or I prefer a slightly contrastier, full desaturation to be honest:

 

[DJ Bigga]

Thanks for that, I think I'd prolly be most happy with the latter.
Any critique?

 

[mauvais]

I think you've done particularly well to be honest - I just hope the original is bigger and yet still sharp enough. I find shooting through aeroplane windows bloody difficult, and often there's bugger all to see anyway. So, a very good result from a very difficult environment.

I think perhaps a polarizer, if you're able to fit one to your camera, might have helped. It would cut out any reflections, not that you seem to have got much. Similarly a UV filter cuts through a bit of haze. Even so, I suspect the blue is just a question of how high up you are.

Thanks, the original is much bigger and sharper. Unfortunatly it was too much bother to drag my backpack out of the overhead to get my 350D out, so I used my DSC-T7. Which means i lost the benefit of the UV filter i have permanently attached.
I totally agree though, normally there is feck all to see but thanks to the Pilot and the quick reactions of Mrs Bigga I managed to take 5 or 6 over the Pyrenees, this was the best of the lot.
