Ah, sorry. I misunderstood what you meant by the first picture. My mistake.

 

What happened to the brief tutorial??, I sent one of my photo buddy's the link and noticed it was gone. Nice additions though, I like that you added photos from each phase of your learning process now.

 

Back in early December, I decided to pull the how-to down, after four months of no one else making an honest attempt at it, and turned the first post into more of a showcase of my progression.

 

The two newest pictures. The second one is my favorite to date.

 

These new pics are my favorite so far. DID..you need to sell these...they are just so beautiful. I think I'm in love with your camera.

 

Keeps getting better and better DiD!! I love em!!

 

Until I get the dog to take pics,
this is the best motion photo I can do for now

 

Thanks keikilee. I have been thinking about doing something like that for a little while. In the next couple days I should have something more to put up about various offerings.

BTW, these most recent pictures were done with a Nikon D70 and the 18-70mm "kit" lens that comes bundled with the camera. That said, I have also taken these types of pictures with my 2.5 year old Nikon 4300 P&S camera, so no special camera is really required.

 

Nice pics guys!!

Wow. I wish it wasn't just So Cal. The two newest pics are phenomenal.

 

BRILLIANT.. I am with you on the 2nd Doug.. just incredible!

 

It's not all that much closer to you, but I am contemplating taking the show on the road for AMVIV for anyone interested in getting this done but not from SoCal.

 

Dave,

I noticed this pic on your sig yesterday when I got back home.

At the time, the link led to nowhere until today.

The ghostly palm trees in the background mesmerize me. Motion blurring accentuates the MINI. I agree with the other posters, it is an excellent image.

Stats? Time of day? Filters? (ND? Filter factors?) Location?
I couldn't get much EXIF stuff.

 

yeah, I had an extra / in there otherwise it would have worked. Fixed now though.

Thanks. I just couldn't take my eyes off of it when I first saw the palm trees and the blur full size on the monitor after the upload (and not on that postage stamp LCD).

The lack of exif was intentional.

 

Excellent! holy cow look how far away from the car you are!!

 

That sigpic is simply beautiful, Dave! The mystical palm trees in the background are marvelously mesmerizing! Great work!

Thanks you two, glad you like the photo.

 

I WANT TO LIVE IN SoCal NOW! I WANT WONDERFUL PICTURES!

Probably won't head my way though if you do end up going on the road! I live in VA. East Coast. Why not in SoCal? Why? HaHa

Anyways wonderful pictures! I wish I found this early before you took away the "How-To Guide"....

Keep Up The Good Work!@!

 

Yeah, me too. Figuring this out myself is gonna be hard!

 

Get me at least 5 people commited to doing this I'll think about flying out for a Photography Pulley Party.

Edit: after looking at my existing vacations that are already planned, I don't have the vacation time to travel to other locations.

 

Sent ya a PM DiD! Thanks DC Metro Minis on the East Coast clubs list! Created a thread!

 

DiD..... GREAT STUFF!!!

ofcourse as a photographer/digital artist....you have me interested in to this now...I'll have to try it...just from understanding cameras...I think I know.....ofcourse that won't be discussed here...LOL...

whatever the case....thanks for all the great photos...if I am heading out your way again with a Mini I will contact you....in the mean time...as soon as I get a chance I am going to play...and see about this fancyness....

Keep up the great work!!!!

 

Thanks Tuls.

If you do make it out here (even without a MINI), bring your camera, I'd be up for a day around L.A. taking pictures.

 

The first post in this thread has also been updated to included these two images.
