Camera Club

Hi all.I have set up an amateur Digital Photography club in my local area, here in Dublin Ireland. Our first outing is tomorrow Saturday 16/02/08. We are going to a park and I'm looking for advice on how best to spend our time i.e. would it be best to split up into pairs or as individuals? Should we all shoot the same subject? Would appreciate feedback on this.

I have commented on the portrait you posted on CC with two different versions.
I actually found out that some of my comments lean upon things I don't know for certain. I mean it is definitely useful to have information is about post-treatment. In that case it would be helpful to know exactly what has been done not only with sharpening, but contrast as well.

thank you very much for your comment.

So the game was relatively distant, but not always. The lion were close but the zebra far. They were all shot in Botswana in the dry winter months. I too am an amateur and am always grateful for any constructive comments. BTW I think your shots are great. I particularly like the landscape with the distant moon - great catch!

People do not but want to say any critique because they think they would look bad and nobody would like them. This site is however just a gallery and it is shame. All of us want to improve our skills and without criticism it is hardly possible.

At 9:06am on March 19th, 2008, ichtus said…: hi John,
the first things to remember for night photography is to have your camera steady, on a tripod if possible, or monopod. If you shoot whet your camera in hand, set to delay because it avoids the motion you do while pressing the button......
steadiness is important because obviously you have a deal would fairly long exposure speaks, up to 30 seconds maybe.
If the camera is good, you can set higher sensor sensitivity to shorten the shutter speed, but the higher the sensitivity is, but noisier the photograph is. I noticed that is when the photograph is fairly noisy, it looks most of the time better in black and white, because the noise damages colours.
But every camera is different, and some DSLR sensors are crap at 400 ISO, and some good at 1600 !
Hope it helps
