stoice Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 (edited) Thought I'd show off a few pics my brother took on a trip to London. He went in a groups organised through meetup.com. Anyone used this site? Various like minded people, in my brother's case keen photographers, organise meetings and gatherings to suit your particular interest or hobby. Anyway, he got together with a few guys for an over night photography session in London on the shortest night and got some amazing photos. 1.36 am Tower Bridge Victoria Memorial Trafalgar Square by Future-Echoes, on Flickr Clever chap eh?

stoice Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Beautiful photos - is he entering them in any competitions or local shows? They are amazing!Emma.x He's pretty nifty with a camera isn't he? I know he's put in some pics into the countryfile's competition before but they didn't get anywhere (Standard is extremely high for that competition though) If you click on one of the pics it takes you to his flickr page with his 'best shots', I think he submitted one of the wasp ones.

bluekarin Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 Just working my way through his flickr photos. He has a very good eye for detail. I had a go at slow shutter photography many moons ago when I did a photography course. Love the results it gives; very Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

percy049 Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 probably a stupid question but how do you get the light streaks?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squiffs Posted July 1, 2011 Share Posted July 1, 2011 probably a stupid question but how do you get the light streaks?! It's the exposure time on a shutter - if the shutter speed is slow it blurs any lights that move whilst the picture is being taken. It's annoying if you're taking pics of fireworks and get the shakes - they come out like wiggly spiders! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need a good tripod I do, there was a huge, bright full moon one night and I couldn't get a still photo of it for the life of me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
