Under the Jetty by Danny Clarkson

101 Views after being uploaded for only 10 days exactly. THANKYOU Everyone !!! FEATURED in CANNON DSLR !!! FEATURED in Young Snappers Brighton Jetty taken about 15minutes after sunset. My first long exposure shot taken with my new camera and tripod. I liked the starring on the jetty lights but was a bit annoyed by how the telecom tower at the end kept blowing out. Nana thought I was pulling her leg when we were down at the beach after sunset when it seemed dark to her and taking photos. I don’t think she could comprehend how the camera could see more light than her! DETAILS Cannon 500D (RAW) / 18 – 55mm IS Kit Lens / 15 Sec Exposure / f 29 / ISO 100 Minor adjustments and crop in Adobe Lightroom 2. Any comments, advice or criticism would be greatly appreciated Cheers, / Danny FEATURED in CANNON DSLR !!! FEATURED in Young Snappers
Nighttime Iris by Danny Clarkson

Best Viewed LARGE FEATURED in Backyard Macro and Closeups FEATURED in Young Snappers This is my first time in the garden with my new camera! I was just having a bit of a browse on RB and got a bit of a twitch to go and find something to take a photo of and this is the result. I headed down the Garden ( at about 10pm so well and truly dark) and being a bit creative I used the torch (origionally to see where I was going) and a couple of sheets of white paper over the end to paint the light onto the flower from different directions during the 6 second exposure. I did most of the painting with the white paper to diffuse the light however at the end of the exposure changed to pink paper (closest thing to purple) to enhance the colours. DETAILS Cannon 500D (RAW) / 18 – 55mm IS Kit Lens (35mm) / 6 Sec / f 4.5 / ISO 100 Minor adjustments in Adobe Lightroom including enhancement of colours and detail in flower and darkening o fht e background. I really had very little that I had to do to the background. By painting on the light myself the background was hardly visible at all anyway. I just clenaed it up using lightroom’s adjustment brush. Overall I am very happy with the outcome. Better than I expected so it was a good night’s work in my eye’s :-) Any comments, advice or criticism would be greatly appreciated Cheers, / Danny FEATURED in Backyard Macro and Closeups FEATURED in Young Snappers

Bandit at the doors by Colin Harper by Mike Oxley

Raccoon on the back deck, jacking the cat crunchies Mom leaves out for the cats, the bluejays, the grackles, the raccoons….Now there’s a family of four that come around every night and get treated to a tray of assorted pastries, fruit and peanut butter and toast. If that’s not enough, they get into the kitchen and raid the breadbox. / Taken through the screen door. Sony Alpha 100, Minolta 28 to 100, on camera flash used

This flower attracted the lens of my Canon Powershot S3IS so I had to take it. One half was red and the other was yellow.
The Look...... by Nicole DeFord

.....your never quite sure you should trust. But it’s soooo hard not to!!!! :) This is my cousin Joshua. He was about 6 at the time, and he, unlike so many little boys, actually wanted his picture taken! We got along pretty good! / Taken with my S1000 Fujifilm camera!
But I Want to Play!!! by Nicole DeFord

I can’t remember why Kyle looked like this last fall, but I can make a good guess from the expression on his face! :) He was about 4 at that point. / Taken with my S1000 Fujifilm camera. Edited later with Picasa 3.
Lisa Kelly by Nicole DeFord

This is a good friend of mine, Lisa Kelly. She was just standing there talking to someone, while I waited to chat with her. Since I had my camera with me, I thought, why not get a picture of her. So I did! / Taken with my S1000 Fujifilm camera. / She is about 17.
Whatever..... by Nicole DeFord

He saw me, and knew exactly what I was up too. This was one of the guys at music camp. His name is Wes Peterson, and he was one of the ones that called me “the camera lady” during that week. I only wish he would have smiled a little more. / Taken with my S1000 Fujfilm camera. / He is about 16.
The Mortlock Wing by Danny Clarkson

Best Viewed LARGE Went into Adelaide City the other day with the new camera. Spent most of the day focusing on trying to get some success with HDR. It has been my first real attempt and am not totally sure with what I have achieved but will post them anyway. PLEASE CRITIQUE This is the old and impressive Mortlock Wing of the South Australian State Library. It contains all the old books and readings of the state’s development over the last 200 years or so. I would really appreciate your comments on this as I am new to HDR but find it very intriguing and beautiful when done well. DETAILS Cannon 500D (RAW) / Aperture Priority Exposure Program / 18 – 55mm IS Kit Lens (30mm) / -2,0 and +2 / f 8 / ISO 100 Merged exposures in Photomatix Pro using Detail Enhancer option. Edited in Lightroom and Photoshop plus used Noiesware Professional Plugin from Photoshop to reduce noise Any comments, advice or criticism would be greatly appreciated Cheers, / Danny / /
Adelaide Arcade by Danny Clarkson

It has been my first real attempt and am not totally sure with what I have achieved but will post them anyway. PLEASE CRITIQUE This is Adelaide Arcade, one of Adelaide’s oldest shopping malls that runs off Rundle Mall. This is taken from the second story which houses a museum of Adelaide’s history and also provides a nice vantage point to look down the mall. Again, I am new to HDR so please leave a comment, advice or criticism. I would really like to improve on this technique.

On the Edge by Nicole DeFord

This tree was so near the edge I thought it would be neat to get a picture of it! It’s roots looked really cool too! Taken in Copperstone State Park! This was taken in 2008 just before I got my S1000 Fujifilm camera. I was, at that point, using my parents Kodak.
Christmas Tree by Pamela Jayne Smith

I took the opportunity of pinching mum’s camera (as we had a snow day at school) and looking around and up in the garden, this is the pine tree in the snow (that blew down a couple of months later -sadly) so this is one of the snow captures of our sadly lost tree….But it brings Merry Christmas Wishes canon eos 400d / By Naomi aged 13 (at the time)

About This Group

Have you a youngster that is a wizard with a camera and wish to help them develop further -then this is the group where you can add their images taken on any camera they have or borrow.

Images taken by Children under 16 must be uploaded by the adult family member into their own portfolio first and then added to the group, 16+ can upload from their own accounts

For our Teens it can be difficult to encourage please read on: – you need to find your own level and gain experience asking other more experienced members questions etc.. here you can experiment with programmes and show us your results, pass on tips to the younger members of the group and hopefully develop confidence and a love of photography further by being in a group with your peers as opposed to older more experienced photographers. We will be asking (with a pretty please) other group members to maybe come in and help answer questions that you may have in our forum.

Maybe you are involved in a Photography course and wish to share what you have and are learning, then this is a great group for you to step out and show what you care about!

Below are our Banners that you can use on your RB Overview Page if you so wish you can find the LINKS in the forum. Please do use them as you can then guide other members to your Young Snapper Images :)
