ab350z Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Everyone seems to be doing car park shots, here's some i got today. Quality seems poor, taken on a 12mp Fujifilm Finepix that was dropped on a boozy work night out!! Quote
3FIDDYZ Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 Great location and setup, but you do need to buy a new camera! Lots of good DSLR's for not alot at the moment. Cause of the different and bright lights you camera will suffer trying to find the right level... There are probably some settings on there to help taking photos like that... This Fuji have a setting with a Firework symbol, thats prob your best bet Quote
ab350z Posted January 17, 2009 Author Posted January 17, 2009 Yeah the camera is on its very last legs, would change settings but the screen is broken after it was dropped. Lesson learnt there about alcohol and electronics! Quote
P15UL T Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 looking good pal get some with a decent camera and ill use them for the site Quote
TimGSXR Posted January 17, 2009 Posted January 17, 2009 The reason your photos don't look so great(fuzzy) is because your fuji will automatically have to set your ISO high because there is very little light. You may be able to lower your ISO in a manual mode, needs to be as low as possible to get rid of the grain in the image but then under that sort of light you will need to be doing 20+ second exposures, so you'll need a tripod, and a shutter release. DSLRs can get more light in because they have a bigger lens frint but your still gonna need a tripod and 30 second exposures to shoot in the dark. Photography is all a compromise with the light you have available. Have a look at this to find out more about ISO and before binning your fuji try playing about in manual mode http://www.dpreview.com/learn/?/key=sensitivity Quote
bronzee Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Headlight look. + 1 one on some more pics with another camera. Quote
Jay Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 car looks ace and pics are gd just like others said need a new camera! However remind me not 2 go to that car park when i am in the DEEN lol Quote
nixy Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 god I wouldn't want to park there! Nice pics tho. Quote
Stew Posted January 18, 2009 Posted January 18, 2009 Actually, is it Denburn? Looks too big for Justice mill. It's actually an alright place to park. Just park near the front and don't leave it overnight. I've never been to the graffiti ridden bits before! Quote
ab350z Posted January 18, 2009 Author Posted January 18, 2009 Yup its Denburn, found that 'artistic' area by accident, its usually coned off. New camera bought today, just charging it up so hopefully get some better pics this week. Quote
ab350z Posted January 19, 2009 Author Posted January 19, 2009 Trying again, took the broken Fuji back to Costco (love that place!!) and bought a Sony, and played about with the ISO settings. Quote
Adriank Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Looks great - but as sarnie would say - needs spacers Quote
ab350z Posted January 19, 2009 Author Posted January 19, 2009 Damn! The whole time I was uploading those i was thinking "Must get that in before Sarnie, must get that in before Sarnie" and someone else beat him to it!! Aye too right I do, it'll happen! Quote
MITZ@CougarStore Posted January 19, 2009 Posted January 19, 2009 Damn! The whole time I was uploading those i was thinking "Must get that in before Sarnie, must get that in before Sarnie" and someone else beat him to it!! Aye too right I do, it'll happen! In stock, if you want a set... Quote

In stock, if you want a set... I'll need to wait till next month mate, just bought a load of new snowboarding kit, its top of the list though. Quote
bronzee Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Cool shots , but you should have tripped the background car over the side in shot 4. Quote
ab350z Posted January 20, 2009 Author Posted January 20, 2009 Stew, that 2 wrong out of 2! Rose Street high rise, near Private Eye's (other seedy gentleman's club in Aberdeen full of eastern european women are available). Felt the bottom of the lip scrape on every ramp on the way up, and thats standard suspension. Had a look in the light of day today and no scratches or anything, phew! Quote
Stew Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Ah, Been in there once. Been in Private Eyes a few times though! I saw a cracking set of pics on DW from a couple of guys in Aberdeen done in Loch street car park. They were fantastic! Quote
Sarnie Posted January 20, 2009 Posted January 20, 2009 Looks great - but as sarnie would say - needs spacers Damn you Quote
Cara Posted January 24, 2009 Posted January 24, 2009 Some great pics here Really would never leave the car in Denburn though It's like a 'spot the Aberdeen car park' Quote
