Hi Digital Unicorn:-)

Hope your business is going well.

If you haven’t got a camera sorted yet my advice would be buy a used semi pro or pro Nikon camera from somewhere like Conns Cameras or Berminghams.
They’ll be guaranteed and are easier to use than most new cameras. A card reader will sort your connection to laptop.
Options I would give you are:

a: D300 with the 18-55 – Excellent crop sensor and I use one for teaching students. €500 used including lens approx.

b: D700 with 24mm and 50mm primes. Super low light performance and the with the primes will give you stunning images. €1000 – 1200 used including lenses approx.

You are more than welcome to try out the D300 and I also have a D810 almost similar to the D700.
I’m based in Kildare Town.

Hi Sheena
How did you get on with your shoot

[ollbyrne]

June 16, 2014 at 5:13 pm

Set
-Set:
-Camera to manual and RAW
-ISO to 200 or 100 depending on how low your camera goes
-Aperture to F11 orF16
-White balance to flash (yes flash)
-Work on your shutter speed then increasing or decreasing depending on the light

This leaves you more time to focus composition and light with only one dial to turn. After a while it’ll feel natural which is the way it should be.

-There are times when you’ll want to chop and change some settings for creative purposes but for 90% of the time when I shoot landscape I’m in the above settings.

Hi
Check out the photography courses in Scoil Mhuire Clane in particular the Fetac one. There held by Bernie O Reilly an excellent photographer and a specialist in landscape photography. Check out her website. http://www.bernieoreillyphotography.com/
You will definitely not regret doing it as I’m on the last stretch of my Fetac one.
Try to get away from the computer as much as possible and get out there and shoot and meet other photographers.
Best of luck.

Beautiful pic.
Sometimes a photos just looks right regardless of the small technical touch ups it might need. Great light and I’d be proud to have it on my wall.

Great pics and nice use of depth of field. A little work in post and your sorted.
Also the 300 seems to have been the right lens for the job.
Well done

Little guy with the burger and the man in the window with his hands on his head are the keepers.
Great shots though and fair play for getting out there and documenting the world with your camera.
Also watch the light and remember that out of hundreds of photos taken there may only be a handful that will be keepers.
Best of luck and keep shooting.

First Challenge

You’ve got a great natural eye for photography and I think once you nail the technical side of it you’ll produce some stunning photos.
Also as an experiment try a lens from an old pair of big sunglasses to bring down the portion of sky. Most of all have fun and don’t be afraid to experiment.
Cheers

Great suggestion brightred but only if its absolutely necessary.
Turn them into little Polaroids and use your eye to slightly improve and crop them. Try this tutorial http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/create-a-polaroid-effect-of-your-photo/” onclick=”window.open(this.href);return false;.
Personally I wouldn’t cheapen a quality album with snapshots. Thats what Fujipix is for.
