'Straight out of camera' thread

[AndWhyNot]

Seem to be enough threads going on for different types of shot- how about posting your best unaltered images, jpgs straight from the camera.

Might not be for everyone - might not be for anyone - and I'm not trying to start some sort of purity discussion; just interested to see some straightforward photographic talent. Shoot RAW? Guess there's no quick and easy way of telling how the jpg was created so straight conversions are cool too.

I'll kick things off:

Yea but no but... straight out of my camera is well over 4k pixels wide, and I'm sure not going to let PH attempt to resize to 750!

Great shot btw.

Will see what I can find, gulp!

I guess resizing is fine - we mostly know to allow for a deterioration in sharpness for the resized image. My shot above is from the resized version at flickr so only 500px wide, although it was at hi res on a D80. It's the composition and processing that I figured would be interesting to see.

Just a border added.

Ooh, nicely caught.

Have you got a version without the border, just so further down the thread we don't get more and more interpretations of 'straight out of camera'

Front curtain or 1st curtain sync is typically the default setting. If you're using a Canon EX speedlight, 2nd curtain sync can be set on the speedlight (third button from left) or on the camera (via the "flash control" menu). If set on the speedlight, it stays in operation until de-selected (even if the speedlight is turned off). Not sure about controls on Nikon speedlites.

yes, well spotted! Was taking the obligatory shots of Eileen Donan and turned around to see the village bathed in light.

Clicky to hugeeeify if you like.

My entry for this month's photo comp has had no post processing,



I used a sigma circular polariser on the kit 18-55mm lens to bring out the colour of the sea and sky.

I also quite like the punchy colours of this snap of my cat taken when testing out my then new sigma 50mm 1.4.

I don't really do any post-processing so all my photos are "as they come" so here is a recent one picked at random

And one from my little compact Ricoh R7:
