great shots elvis
Thank you Imudila, cheers!
Some great shots as ever in this thread, I've followed those of you on Flickr
Myself, I walked the UK three peaks (that's Snowdon, Scafell Pike and Ben Nevis) the last week in October last year. The awesome experience and cool sense of accomplishment aside, despite the damp and cloudy weather I managed some nice shots of the views on the way (got to get some memories of the 105,000 steps walked, right?).
On the way to the start:
Long exposure of Afon Llugwy by Ben Ponsford, on Flickr

That long exposure is so weird 
, Cool that you went to Ben Nevis! Great photos!
, Cool that you went to Ben Nevis! Great photos!Thanks, they are stunning areas of the country.
Base ISO on modern cameras generally is, I thought? I do also run two layers of mild noise reduction as part of my post-processing.
Yeah the patterns ended up nicer than expected.
UK is such a great location for photographers, it's absolutely fabulous. I need to travel there once again. Portsmouth, Fareham and London wasn't enough during my internship. Although first I need to get a wider lens, my 50mm on a DX format camera is not exactly what you'd call wide
I grew up in Portsmouth, some nice scenery in places around there but certainly nothing remotely mountainous. Not the countrys highlight.
I've got lots of vintage film lenses, though mostly for longer focal lengths (due to crop sensor), results can be pretty good and the lenses often dirt cheap. Going fully manual is more involving, can make you take your time a bit more. Could be worth investigating; I'll be selling my Tamron 17mm soon, I'd imagine something like that would be significantly more useful for landscapes.

Let's necropost this thread!
Had the pleasure to spectate a Rally event after almost 10 years...time sure does fly like crazy. Rally Estonia 2019 (WRC promotional event).
Left the photos pretty much as is. Only some exposure corrections and slight cropping here and there. No added blur or anything like that.
A gallery with 300+ images from the rally (down from 2000+). Click on the small images to enlarge and navigate. https://ltlahendused.ee/rally-estonia-2019/

Might aswell post some pictures too, from a racing event from over a month ago, I'm not sure if any of those pics are good, but I like them.

I know all of the pictures are not in focus and whatnot, been a long time since I went to a racing event, and first time I went with my camera.
All pics are pretty much raw, only slight colour correction done, in a way that looks pleasing to my eyes.

Some nice pictures in there Braien, for sure. I'm really new to photography and moving objects like racing cars are difficult to get sharp and in focus for sure, but I live at Zandvoort so I can practise plenty haha.

I really like the 2nd and 3rd shots, plus the 2nd and 3rd from last.
Did you intentionally add all the grain?
Did you intentionally add all the grain?
Thanks and no, I didn't add any grain. I know at ISO 400 the images shouldn't be this grainy, but most were stopped down so I wouldn't get any shaky shots or blurry people.
Double posting, but...
Some wide open Sigma 70-300mm F4-5.6 DG handheld shots from Tallinn Airport. Like to go there often, so I might post more All at ISO1600-3200
Really need a new long lens, in the F2.8 range

All at ISO1600-3200Really need a new long lens, in the F2.8 range
Long and f/2.8 gets heavy and expensive real quick. A 300mm f/4 prime (perhaps with a TC) is about the sweet spot of reach and affordability plus still easily hand-holdable. That said I keep toying with the idea of a 300mm f/2.8. Maybe one day I'll take the plunge.
Some great photos though. Proof you don't need overly fancy gear for most shots.
While I believe you're right and I've tested the *60-250mm F4 lens, the shots above were mostly F4 - F4.5 and it's just the shutter speed that gets way too slow to handle the IQ properly. If I could have gotten twice as fast shutter speeds at F2.8, many of the throwaway shots could have been used.
