FISHEYE LENS SHOTS: SKATING

Recently took the fisheye back out to use, testing out angles to get some nice shots, also starting to record using it too, So I may be uploading clips onto my YouTube channel within the summer, be sure to Subscribe to my YouTube channel beforehand so you can get notified when I start releasing skating videos.

At this point I saw how blurry the people were and knew that I had to put my shutter speed to the max it could, like 1/4000.

After changing the shutter speed the skaters are much more focused, sharper and the image doesn't look bad, the ISO may be up by a lot but I think my camera may handle it well, unless then ISO wasn't all the way up then there we go.

 Some people don't like this, but I do, the way the lens flare sort of captures your attention and then points you into the direction of the intended subject, being his shoe.
Of course this wasn't something I focused on getting, it was just random of how it came out.

I love this photo too as it sort of shows some action taking place in two places at once, first of all the skater on the right (Owen) is walking away from where he was, maybe just after failing a trick or something, he is catching my eye with the brightly coloured tee he is wearing and then the lines of the skatepark direct me towards the skater on the left (Rowan) which is taking some huge air up the flatbank.
He is also silhouetted which makes it look much better.

Thanks a lot for viewing my blog and reading it, I want to see if people are enjoying the posts I put, let me know on Twitter or just share the blog if you want, thanks for the support to my local friends that have been sharing too.

Nikon D5 Sample Photos up to ISO 3,276,800

This is Nikon's flagship full-frame DSLR.

The Nikon D5 is for professional photographers and enthusiasts who just have to get the best.
It includes a 20.8 megapixel CMOS sensor, their next-gen 153-point AF system and it's new image quality and detail thanks to its low light capabilities with sensitivity reaching ISO 3,276,800.

So here is the first look at Nikon's new flagship, see how it performs at high sensitivities up to it's maximum ISO of 3,276,800.

 3200

 6400

 12800

 25600

 51200

 64000

 162550

 204800

 409600

 819200

 1638400

and finally, 3276800
So as you can see, it does look to be a great solution for low light applications such as sport photography and candid photo-journalism. It looks as though the Nikon D5 will be the best low light camera for now.

In my opinion, the ISO 3200 - ISO 64000 looked really good, excellent compared to many cameras, although the higher ISO levels looked to create very noisy images which aren't very suitable but it's amazing that technology has come so far, and it'll only get better.

Cardiff after the Rugby

So after showing you the images of Cardiff and how it is in the daytime, then showing you my exploration to Boys Village, my last shoot of the day was Cardiff after the rugby finished.
England v Wales is quite an aggressive rivalry, and I was amazed at how packed Cardiff was even though Wales played IN England.
I saw people getting arrested etc.
I really wanna go do this again too, there were good vibes and funny people and I think I could get a much better shoot with a good flash and if I was there at a home rugby game or if a special event was on.
Some of the photos are really dark and I'm unsure why as they look fine from my camera, I'll edit a few of the ones I like and then post the edited ones in the next few days, I'm on Easter break now too so the next two weeks will mainly consist of skating, some street and Camera/Photography news, so if you know anyone that likes reading news then link them to this blog when I add some more news, thanks.
