Astro pt.4

I'm really hooked up with astro photography. This photo is taken from the same spot with photo in previous post. Except this one is vertical. In my opinion it makes huge difference after all. The reason for posting a photo similar to the previous one is to show you the the difference between horizontal and vertical landscapes. Compare this one to the previous photo and let me know which one you like more. Personally I like more the vertical one in this scene, because I can fit more stuff into photo, like the rocks in the bottom and I have more space for the stars. Horizontal view is pretty much all the same, woods and a few cottage, so there is no reason extend it.

EXIF:
exposure time -  30 sec
aperture - f/5.6
iso - 400
focal length - 30mm

Astro fever pt.3

Once again I was freezing out in the forest chasing stars, but my arch enemies (moon and clouds) were polluting my precious sky. I didn't capture too many stars, but I got couple of decent landscapes. It was definetely worth catching a cold last night.

EXIF:
exposure time -  30 sec
aperture - f/5.6
iso - 400
focal length - 30mm

Astro photo pt.2

Here is an another photo from my astro photography adventures. This one is taken with fisheye, that explains the massive barrel distortion. 

EXIF: 
exposure time - 30 sec
aperture - f/3.5
iso - 400
focal length - 8mm

The new and interesting thing (at least in my opinion) I told you about was astro photography. My torment is now over, I saw clear night sky (partially) first time in two weeks and of course I photographied it. I'm still strugling with the focusing and exposure. Here is one photo from this week, I will post more of these later as I learn to photograph the night sky. 

EXIF: 
exposure time - 30 sec
aperture - f/5.6
iso - 800
focal length - 30mm

Another hippie photo shoot

After two days in portrait photography course I asked my co-workers little sister to be my model again to see if I have improved. Personally I'm satisfied with the photos we got. Only problem was sudden superfast sunset :(

Portrait photography course pt. 1

Once again I've been really busy, but here is one photo from last weekend's portrait photography course. We had this lovely model for couple of hours in our use (I want to thank her very much). Taking portraits is actually pretty hard when you have to compose your model the way you want. It is even more complicated if you don't have a clear vision in your head how you to capture your model. I had no idea what to expect from this course, so I didn't prepare myself at all before the course, but at least I got one photo that satisfies me. What do you think of this portrait? Colours, focusing, composition or anything, please let me know.

Last night I was photographing my friend's band. Here is a few shots from the gig. Feel free to visit their facebook page. I'm too tired to write more than this, so lets skip the fore play, here comes the photos.
