Hey folks, great news I got the camera and lens back. No flash or memory cards but can’t be helped. Still a win if you ask me.

It happened in North Strand, shouldn’t have been where I was, in the state I was, at the time I was carrying what I was.

Thanks for the support, repostings, best wishes etc.

Ciao,

darren

Good work.

I’m planning on being down there early on Saturday as in 7 or so but out on Friday night so may be a bit late, lol. I’ll be staying until Sunday.

My number is 0876549954 if anyone wants it to try and meet up.

Would appreciate other attendees numbers too if anyone is willing to provide to make meeting up as a group easier.

Hey, you can put me down, for both days.

I’m staying in the hotel around the corner as the hostel was booked out. Only €49 with breakfast so not bad.

I live in the Dun Laoghaire area and happy to give anyone who needs one a list down and/or back.

Perhaps I’m missing something here but I ran the pics through lightroom, boosted the vibrance tonned down the green a tiny bit to bring it back (and selective yellows in the foreground grass) and boosted clarity (as sharpening), hey presto vivid relistic colours.

I’ll admit to being inexperienced but to me the idea of using flash for this type of thing is going down the proverbial garden path. The example pic given is completely different i.e. a single stationary object where as here we are talking about more dynamic on the move shooting.

Hey folks sorry for the delay in responding to your comments I was traveling with work (still am).

Shutter
I’ve never really tried to get to grips with sharpening (ridiculous I know) and just started shooting in raw which probably makes it worse so I’ll revisit and try and make it a bit sharper.

bingbongbiddley
If I remember rightly I probably have room for a more spacious crop so will do as you sugggested, I’ll also try and lighten the shadows as suggested as mentioned it was shot in raw so should be able to do something.

Thanks again for the comments when I edidt I’ll repost.

I love the last one, almost enough to make me have kinds (almost, lol).

It’s Darren, lol.

And bingo on the Clarity, as I boosted that all the way up, lol. I’ll reduce it and see what effect it has and as suggested if I prefer it or not before making a decision.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the comments Madeline, I know I could have shot iso 100 but never thought of it and forgot to check what it was on to be honest.

I’ll look into the glow thing not sure what it is or how I caused it but will take a look tonight.

I was concerned it might be too dark but definitely the way I liked it when looking at different versions so glad you think it is ok.

Thanks again for the very useful comments.

I really like this 2nd then 1st, one thing that does jar a little is the item sticking up from his leg. As I don’t know what it is as it is too small to be identified (guessing walkie talkie?) I think I’d photoshop it out.

Mick, will you do me a favour and post a crap shot so we know you are human?????

Love them both.

On the set I wonder if it might be better to have the one where his face is visible first (i.e. on the left) so we “know” the subject when we look at the others? But then again you could look at it as if the mystery is revealed, lol.

I like the B&W one too, but I think it is a great idea the way you are posting both versions (was checking out yur other ones too) as it is a good teaching tool seeing how they differ in colour v’s B&W so appreciate you doing it.
