Well the first two are a bit blurry, those with the approaching berm it would be really niceAndyKing wrote:
if you can pull some nice angle in the berms, and well done if you did a 4ft drop.
But I still think you should aquire a decent camera.

Whats wrong with the camera? It's fine. Its just we had to alter the shutter speed because of lack off sunlight to try and get the picture, and I had to upload them via tinypic to get them on forums and that may have blurred them a bit.0 -
Use photobucket to upload. Add if you edit beforehand make sure the JPEG compression is on the best possible setting.0

They're ok-ish photos, what he means by suggesting a better camera is that you get a more capable camera. A small compact or mobile phone is really going to struggle in dim light - hence the reason you've had to adjust the shutter speed to suit. If you got a better camera you'd give yourself more options, you'd have a bigger lens and sensor which would allow more light in, thus making it much easier to take much better photos at a much higher quality.

need a wider pic of you on the drop... so we can actually see the drop? kinda looks like you're just rolling down a grassy verge!0

Its not a compact or mobile phone its an actualy camera, used in proper photograpy, I explained the reasons. It cost about £240 but it was really dark. The first photo was taken with my crappy camera but you are still able to see what they are. Anyway, I don't want people to judge on camera quality..its a mountain bike forum not a photograpy forum correct?0 -

Well you can sorta see the drop..if you look closely enough. We gave up on that picture eventually though, if we move to far back theres to much sunlight and it reflects...and to close and its to dark so we had to keep changing shutter speed etc. So we left it as it was lol0 -
I think most people inferred from your post it was about the photography itself.
Your trails look fine but hard to see much.0 -

Hense needing a bit of a better camera
Photo's in this thread http://www.bikeradar.com/forums/viewtop ... t=12643728 were taken on a cheap D-SLR.0 -

Erm, I posted these pics but a smaller version..no videos though0 -
is this thread a joke?? am i missing the sarcasism?0

Sorry, but you have to remove that front light for photos! And there's something about the image of a full face helmet and a saddle bag that doesn't quite work..
#3 and #7 are the best, but ruined by that front light..0 -

The photos are very poor, and you did ask what people thought of them and there are a lot of serious and talented riders in a forum like this, don't act bemused when you get peoples honest opinion, mate
Other than that, the place looks like it could be fun and you seem to be enjoying it, ride on!
Just to give you an idea of what an "actual camera, used in proper photography" is, this is one of mine used for location shoots, weddings, portrait work etc etc.
You're looking at around £4k for this setup and it's not even what I would consider an expensive camera. Expensive cameras start at around £30k, yes that's £30'000.LOL road riding.0 -
although a good camera would help you can still take decent quality pictures with cheap gear. this was taken on my 8mp camera phone:
assuming that works.0 -
Well im not on about the camera quality anyway, I can't do anything about that, we don't have enough money to afford bills let alone a new camera...0
-
I'm not removing the bag...ill probably get rid of the light as i need new ones but in the bag i have medical stuff and puncture kit so im not risking not having it their. Im sure you can understand that.0

I think you chaps are being a little harsh! It's about getting out on the bike, enjoying it and if you want to get some photos then great.
little tip for some good shots in lower light
If you have an SLR, use a slightly longer exposure and a rear curtain sync - and pan with your subject. That way you'll get the motion blur and a fairly crisp image (but still with blurred wheels etc...gives a great effect.
Or if you want everything crisp and frozen, just stick the flash on, and get as close to your subject as possible.
don't use zoom if you can help it in low light....less light in the lens due to smaller aperture, therefore slacker shutter speed. = blurry.
If your camera has a night mode...it will give you a longer exposure but mean you have to pan with your subject else background is ok and subject blurry!
Anyway...a few very basic tips to help you on your way.0 -
Sorry Andy I agree with some of the others, the photos aren't that good, not doing a lot for me.
But I think your camera should be OK. A £240 camera can still produce good images. OK not professional quality images but still adequate images.
Maybe invest in a photography book that will teach you how to use your camera better? Or maybe people who know more about photography can give you more tips on how to get better results next time.
well done for getting out on your bike tho 0 -
That's a good point.
Andy, what model is it? Maybe we can offer some settings for you to try out.LOL road riding.0 -
anybody else getting flashbacks of "xcmtbkingy"? "Its all fun and games till someone gets hurt, then its hilarious"
