New to A.P. from Perth

[Haze]

Hi peeps.

My name's Haze, from Perth.
Long time interest in photography. Back in 1996 in high school I was top student year 12 along with the old skool film SLR's! Since then I have been a bit of a point and shoot type, but I decided to 'get with the times' and got myself a mid-range :nlogo:D7200 DSLR :camera: about 2 years ago. Only recently and along with my bro-in-law having piqued an interest also when he got his Canon 100D - have I began to really explore my camera features and abilities for a semi beginner/intermediate type shooter.
Tonight we are headed up to The Pinnacles (cloud permitting) to try our hand at night shooting with the galaxy, star trails and light FX in the pitch black with those famous limestone structures as our foreground and background feature. So it should be a very fun and very late night!

Types of imagery I love are birds, skateboarding, slow exposure, movement, sports action, my cats, animals...anything really that I think has that 'something' once captured and requires next to no hardcore editing and looks amazing as it is...

So, here I am...to learn, enjoy, capture and share with A.P.

Thanks for having me :)

Haze.

Hi fellow sandgroper. There's plenty of wildlife down Caversham way. Pinnacles is a great spot for a bit of astro. See if you can get a hold of some of those little fake tea lights that are battery powered (2 $ store) and put them around the scene. They throw a subtle glow that works well with long exposures. What time is the milky way up at this time of year, pretty late isn't it?

Hello Haze and Welcome to AP. A very interesting intro, good that you are letting us know what genres you like shooting.
And all the best with what you have planned for tonight. :2smile:

But I have no idea how to put photos in here.
Have a look here ... http://www.ausphotography.net.au/forum/showlibrary.php?title=Indexes:How_Do_I
There's a few ways. #2 is the way to do it from your computer if you don't have flickr or something else to link to.

Hi Haze and welcome to AP! :)

[Haze]

Hmm...The link doesn't help me much - there's no way I can upload direct from my computer. :/

Thanks David!

Haze. Start up a thread in the General Help section titled something like "How Do I Attach Pictures from My Computer".

The query will get better traction there. (And, hey! I'll even pitch in:eek::eek::eek:)

Welcome Haze from a colleague just down the road in the south west. Look forward to seeing some of your photos. Might head to Perth towards the end of the week for an early morning wander around the city so see what you can do weather wise for me.

Let's see if this works... TESTING TESTING!

This is stupid. How on earth do you add photos to a photography forum?! Can't upload from my computer or photobucket in an easy straightworward manner ###...and I'm not a complete computer idiot either. This blows...I'll just stick to facebook groups. So much more user friendly.

[Mary Anne]

Its very easy Haze, copy the IMG tag the last one and paste.

As this is not a CC Forum you will not get any.. Best you post them here > http://www.ausphotography.net.au/forum/forumdisplay.php?77-Night-Astro
And dont forget to leave more space between each image, and that is too many for CC two or three is plenty.

[Haze]

I was using a phone app so I don't know if you can make gaps. Ugh this is all too hard... I can't win.

[Mary Anne]

Then do it from Photobucket like I explained on here. http://www.ausphotography.net.au/forum/showthread.php?152470-New-to-A-P-from-Perth&p=1409411#post1409411

I use Tapatalk myself when I am away from home, only use it to reply though.
I use a iPhone and if I want to make a space between a reply I touch Return
The more times I touch Return the more spaces it makes. Do not know how it would go with photos though..
