*Official* Post Your Pictures Thread

Ouch, those photos look really soft and out of focus and there is a ton of noise. Are you using AF or MF? What settings are you using for the photos?

Those bright spots appear to be a problem with the sensor.
 
Lovely. A sensor issue...

And it was manual, but it was hard to tell just how out of focus it was on my camera screen before I pulled it to my computer. Might just start shooting in a lower file size so it's not as big once transferred. Orrrr I might just pack my camera away since I haven't really used it at all lately and seem to have forgotten EVERYTHING. Sigh..

Once I actually got them on the computer and saw the full size I was less than pleased.
 
One trick I use when taking self portraits using MF is to set it to AF, stand where I will be standing for the picture, half press my remote shutter and then take a picture. If the focus is accurate, I switch to MF. Takes a few tries but I get it eventually.

That actually sounds familiar to what I did with that first set from back in 2011. Thanks for the refresher. Looks like I need to have some serious 1-on-1 with my camera again.

Yea looks like a few pixels on the sensors may have died or burned.

This might help:

Nikon should have a similar thing on their cameras, have not looked at all mine though. Looks like the older Nikon DSLRs have had alot of problems with dead pixels.....Havent noticed any problems with my D3100 yet. Hopefully I shouldnt because I read that Nikon actually has Sony develop the sensors for all their DSLRs except the top dollar ones. Dont know if the same is true for the older bodies.

Could also try this is your camera doesnt have a sensor cleaning function:

Also, do you have a tattoo of a leaf with the american flag in it?

You could also buy a wireless remote and hold it in one of the hands n a way we don't see it. They're very small!

Yeah, I have one, but it has to be pointed somewhere close to the camera itself. It's an IF remote, and if I have it behind my back or something it normally doesn't read to the camera. The RARE time it will.

The camera does have a sensor cleaner, Nikon D60.

Also, yes. All maple leaves to signify Canadian heritage with the flags of my mum's parent's heritage. Grandma came from the States while my grandpa came over from Britain while a still a kid.

Does the remote let you use the timer? You could point it at the camera, press it, wait the 2, 5, 10 seconds and just throw the remote on the floor to get it out of view.

The sensor cleaner is to clean off dust, that looks like a permanent sensor problem.

From what i read from the links i posted, the Canons sensor cleaning function can at least fix dead or stuck pixels. This appears to be that kind of problem to me. Im sure Nikon can do the same.
 
My first photos of 2014. My new fibre broadband means I can upload full res images to Flickr now. :D

Recent storms on the North Norfolk coast have meant a lot of sea defenses such as the wooden revetments have been damaged and also some beach huts got damaged too, so there's a lot of wood lying around on the beach. This 'hut' below has been built from bits of damaged beach huts and sea defenses.

You can see some of the wood on the beach as a result of December's storms in the photo below.

Thanks guys! :D Really appreciate it! It was so nice to finally get out with the camera. First time this year! ;)

Here's my speedtest!

Upload speed may not seem the fastest but it was enough to upload the full resolution images in under 5 minutes. I need to watch how big these files are though - some of them are about 30MB (including that one you like, Omar). I've got a terabyte of space on Flickr but I'll gobble it up quickly if I continue to upload huge images haha. ;)
