101 weird things to do with meths

Mine were taken on Blackpool beach waiting for the sun to set before the fireworks.

Camera mounted on a tripod, using a Neutral Density filter to give a long exposure and then panning the camera from left to right while the shutter was open.

Just messing about really. (And before anyone asks, it's not all done in PhotoShop...)

"Stay still dammit!"

That is suffering from camera shake as much as anything mate.

Harvestman/Gary are they time lapse shots? How did you achieve these? Go Pro??

They are just long exposures Gary has explained his and Mike seems to have shots some cows in a field that moved then stopped and moved so they show better where they stopped.

Like my Scouts who after a bunch of shots and through miracle of digital were able to learn quickly how to have multiple images of themselves in the frame during a 30 second exposure again no photoshop

I took this form an unusually low angle at Ennerdale water.


What do you think?

Gary's will have been more sophisticated than mine, but mine was set the camera to a 30 second exposue with a small aperture and minimum ISO, point at the field in which cows were moving and grazing, set a two second delay on the shutter because I didn't have a tripod with me and was resting the camera on the roof of the car, press the button, and wait. Oh and it was sunset, so the light levels were low to start with. I did no processing on the image. I would do, but I don't have any processing software.

At skrinkle haven, for a cheeky overnighter with the missus. Did some thinning of her kuksa, whilst she got ready for a dip.

I'll take another of the bay, when we get there.

Not a 'quality' shot (I'm no photographer) and I donlt own a fancy camera, but I was fascinated by the shape/ structure of this tree, so I thought I'd share...

 

[Harvestman]

Wonderfully gnarly!

Found this small boulder on the shore this afternoon. I can only guess that these are fossils of some sort?

 

[Harvestman]

At a guess, I would saw the last segment of a trilobite, the pygidium. Lots of them.

I'd agree with that. But given its an aggregate it could be poo from some large swimming beastie.

So, a large fossilised turd?

 

[Pandabean]

Yep, they do look like trilobite segments. They existed back in the lower palaeozoic, (Cambrian, 541 Ma - Permian 251Ma periods).
If you had a full fossil it can be easish to narrow down the time frame.

I have yet to find myself one of these as a fossil.

More spirals

That will make a great stick shank one day

My birthday today and I got for the first time a decent camera. It is a Nikon D3200 DSLR and I have been pressing lots of buttons, twisting dials and generally trying not to get frustrated
