Does anyone ever feel sorry for me? Noon kick-off means 4 o'clock in the fucking morning for me. I'm getting too old for these shite-times.
midweek games are the same for me here. 8pm kick off = 3 or 4am here! 12 kick off is bloody perfect though!
-
i'm feeling positive. We can do it!

I don't get how you guys find all the players to follow I can never seem to find them.

Ben Arfa pisses all over Marveuex christmas tree and everyone knows it!
Marveux is not that good really. Its weird how you wank yourself stupid over players who are not really that good.

So you're just winding yourself up because of a hypothetical situation that even you don't think is likely to happen?
I have calmed down a bit now. I think the reason I was a bit annoyed is the game didn't kick off till 1am, and didnt finish till about 3am. I had to be up for work at 7am.
So I guess I was really annoyed with that more than the result.

Do you seriously think we will play a reserve team every game?
I don't think we will, no. I think it is just because of the fixture congestion. If they did however it would be a pointless exercise in entering the competition.

Gosling and Obertan are dreadful. Whats the point of getting into a tournament like this and not giving it a go. I seriously hope we don't play a reserve team every game, or I doubt we will even get through the group stages.

Pmed
Enjoy.
is yours in english, if so could you pm me too mate, can only find a foreign one.

I would still find a place in the team for Jonas. The work rate he puts in is incredible and helps the team out more than he is given credit for.
-
Could I have a go please?
I would but they just changed the channel to a different game. Trying to find a new link now. Seems like it is Belgian football he has turned to.
RCSC 0 1 Club if anyone knows who the hell that is?
-
can anyone pm me the link please. I found one but it keeps asking me to download something that looks pretty dodgy. God knows why. Thank you.
i found a link.

According to the BBC West Ham will sign Maiga for 4.5million. Be interesting to see if he does sign how well he does for them, after he failed a medical here.

Went to watch the sunset today.
actually I think it is not straight a little bit. The sunset was nice though.
-
Pineapple beer?
Yeah its good.
It is much nicer than the mango beer.
-
While I was at the top of the mountain attempting to practice taking landscape photos, this was trying to drink my beer. Got a bit of a shock when I went to pick it up. I don't have any clue what it is...maybe some kind of big spotted moth?

This is the darker kind of image I took but I only had time to crop it, and I would of liked to have tried and made the light a bit brighter on the buildings but I don't have time need to go to work now.

DoF is Depth of field. So, if you shoot at f/5.6 that is a narrow DoF. As you know only the focus point and a little either side will be in focus. A large DoF would be if you shot in say f/13 that gives you a much larger one and more will be on focus. To get the back in focus as well as the front, the long answer is to calculate your hyperfocal distance. This is the "sweet" spot in the image where you should focus for maximum in focus image. Is is a calculation based on camera, lens, f-stop and distance etc. There is actually a phone app that does it for you. The short answer, is focus 1/3 in to the frame. That way 1/3 in front will be in focus and 2/3 behind. Its rough but pretty good and what I do.
Your pic above. First thing is I think it leans to the right ever so slightly. Judging by the buildings. Next is its shot at night, a tricky shot. But you have a lot of lights from the city. The trees at the front are near black. This is where many would do an HDR shot. Or, you could take a few shots and blend them. So you would focus on the trees and expose for them. Then take another shot and focus on the buildings and expose for them, then another maybe for the sky. then stitch them together in photoshop. But you need to use a tripod and not move the camera to refocus, only the focus point in the lens.
I like that pic though. Could do with a little more contrast in the buildings and Id be tempted to chop away a little of the trees. I think the sky is a bit over exposed and with the city being bright Id have used a grad filter. But you know, this is all down to personal taste, not whats right or wrong. If I quickly put your pic through lightroom I get this (baring in mind Im working from jpg, not the RAW).
Thanks for the reply. I have darker ones that I took which look a little like yours.
I quite like how light the sky looked, but a few times I was thinking it looks too bright. I will post up a darker one from last night. Stitching it together sounds really difficult, and I have never heard about a grad filter until you mentioned them the other day and I had a quick look at them before I went to work but will need to do a bit more research before I purchase one. I am also very bad at getting the picture straight however odd that may sound. I used a tripod with this picture.
I will post up a darker one now, will just try and find one. Thanks for the advice.
Oh and the measuring sounds difficult. I will jot in down in my diary at the back or something for the next time I try to do some landscape pictures.

Is this picture over exposed or just right? I think it looks OK but was wondering what you think...

Few tips on landscapes
Use a tripod
Shoot in aperture priority
Use a grad filter or bracket & blend
Use a polariser if shooting 90' from sun
Mid aperture (f/11 or so) if you want max DoF
Focus 1/3 into shot if you want max DoF
Play with shallow DoF for some subjects
Use leading lines
Have a foreground interest
Rule of 3rds
Longer shutter speeds to capture movement in trees/grass
Same for that silky water effect
To do these you may need a ND filter to stop over exposing
All I can think of for now, let me know if you want me to expand any point.
I really would like to know what DOF is? and if I shoot the picture in mid aperture that means most/all the picture will be in focus right? I was wondering on landscape pictures how to get the back to look sharper at least a little bit more anyway, when the front is totally in focus. Thanks in advance.

Andy I just bought my self a tripod so I can start taking better landscape pictures. Especially in the evening. One thing is when I tried to take a picture of the sunset and sunrise they have all turned out to be super shit, I still have to figure out the best settings to use them.
j69, I love that picture too, if you look closely in the helmet you can see me.
-
These are the most recent pictures I have taken.
-
they were.
They weren't like, the second he belted it off his arm from a yard. How that is ever a pen is beyond me. The first one was a closer call but I don't think it was one either.

Thought Denmark did well, and the BBC bumming of Holland is way over the top. Banging on about those penalties like they were dead certs! etc etc.

love the second picture of your son stuffing his face.
