Just messing round with my new camera at the mo, figuring out what settings do what and finding my 'artistic flare'

your depth of field is slightly over the top.
raise your fstop (bigger number) and decrease shutter speed to compensate.

Not 45mins before the first shot the sky was blue, the cloud in the photo was rolling under itself and the speed
at which it moved was something, it was breath taking.
The second shot literally seconds later we had to run for cover as the sand storm hit. The third is half an hour to hour later,
the strong winds only lasted no more then 15-20mins.
The rain settled and then the lightening show.

OH and Panzer squashed the Red Back NOT ME, but i made him capture and release the Huntsman and the Blue Tongue Lizard, I'm usually the same for every insect, spider or any other crawly but Panzer said we had to squash the really dangerous ones, because of the boys...so i hope no one got upset or angry, i really do have a heart.

Meg actually tore a ligament in her rear left leg the other day, poor thing is in pain until she goes in for surgery, I felt so bad cause we thought anti inflammatory's and light walks were helping her arthritis (she's got retriever in her) when they were actually doing the opposite for her ligament, like most dogs she didn't tell us she was in pain until it was excruciating.

I really like the second one with the plane. Very nice angles and good composition. TBH (i hope you dont mind a little criticism) the first and third are'nt really landscape. I liked the idea of the third one but not enough interest in the background, and the comp is slightly off.
Just tell me to piss off if you think i'm wrong. ;)

Haha nah thanks for the criticism, yeah I agree the background is disinteresting in the third one and its not really a landscape. But I would call the first one a landscape. We had to take pictures of 3 categories in the assignment, and that one fitted into 'Constructed Landscape.' The plane is my favourite too :)

If your only concerned about camera effects, aperature, exposure and all that jazz then your missing the point. To take a photo which is actually good (as opposed to just "cool") then you need to take into consideration so many other things. Anyone can take a nice photo, not many can take a photo that actually has some meaning or an idea behind it. I doubt many amatuers with a point and shoot digital camera have exhibitions or any of their work really taken seriously.
Sure your position as an amateur may be compromised but really its just an opportunity to step up your game.
The amount of shots required to get it perfect is unimportant, its like saying a painting's value is lowered by the amount of time it took to paint.
I take photos of fucking everything if i find it interesting because it pushes me to think more about my surroundings and notice things i wouldnt usually notice.

The thing that irked me the most was a common scenario I came across working in a camera store,
Rich bitch comes in with her brand new canon 400D, excalaims about how she's been around the world taking photos.
they're all blurred, underexposed, poorly composed, washy, shit.
she blames me for the under exposure, after admiting that she didnt really know how to use all the cameras features, that she'd just played with it till it took a nice photo and away she went all over europe....with the same settings....she made me stand there at the kiosk, and brighten every one of her 300 photos, when I said "look, I've got a customer who nee-" "oh I'll tell your Boss....oh yes I know your boss quite well...."
the photos printed off washed out, and what's worse is she had a fucking loyalty card that essentially halved my comission....that's right....same work load, the company loses nothing because the "margins" aren't actual.
Another customer I had was this lady who was shotting on some crappy sont cybershot....her photos were breath taking, beautifully composed, lit, timed, etc, I asked why she wasn't shooting on a DSLR, she said she couldn't afford one. I felt sad.
yay for communism in photography.

What erks me is people don't have an appreciation for film photography. It is far more difficult to achieve stunning photos with film, and people take Dslr for granted!
Don't get me wrong though, Dslr has their own place in the artistic world, and ads.

But you dont really need a dslr to take nice photos. Its not really about the camera its still about the photographer.

Shit, sorry. Didn't realise that would happen. Spoilered.
Turns out pictures look far worse when they are at full size. Will scale down this weekend when I have time.
Mass of blur happens to be sand. Although, once again, looks like shit so close.

Probably becasue Megapixel has almost nothing to do with the quality of the photo, just the resoloution (size)
this was taken as i was bored, but man i love it.
taken at 4.5fs probably about 150mm zoom.

Well hopefully the first one, but definitely the second one.

Have a look at bridge cameras if you just want to get started. My Panasonic DMC-FZ28 (http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Panasonic/panasonic_dmcfz28.asp) does straight RAW files as well as normal JPEGS so it gives you that ability to play with Raw files without breaking
your wallet on a full D-SLR. It also has the ability to screw filters on (56mm though which is a little expensive) so you can play with polar lens etc....
I bought mine for about $680NZ, but not sure how much you can get it for in Aus.
You can get into photography with any camera though, its mainly about finding the right subject and then getting the best composition.

Both shots are taken within 15mins of each other. The light hadn't changed, i just changed the ISO value. I'm not sure how the bridge shot looks to you guys, but it looks a LOT better for me when it comes from the camera. For some reason when i save photos from PS on my Mac, it washes a lot of the colour out.

i like the second one but the flare is not as attractive.

Have a look at bridge cameras if you just want to get started. My Panasonic DMC-FZ28 ([url]http://www.dpreview.com/reviews/specs/Panasonic/panasonic_dmcfz28.asp[/url]) does straight RAW files as well as normal JPEGS so it gives you that ability to play with Raw files without breaking
your wallet on a full D-SLR. It also has the ability to screw filters on (56mm though which is a little expensive) so you can play with polar lens etc....
I bought mine for about $680NZ, but not sure how much you can get it for in Aus.
You can get into photography with any camera though, its mainly about finding the right subject and then getting the best composition.
this is what my brother bought and after i had a word with him he swapped it for a Canon 1000D within the week haha. 1000D is a very good entry level DSLR with the smaller price tag. FZ28 is like a DSLS point and shoot, you have to wade your way through a menu and presets to change anything and the electrical viewfinder is completely pointless.

If i had the money i'd buy a 1000D, but with money constraints i opted for the FZ28.

Well I was outside enjoying the sun in my backyard when I realised that it was a perfect opp for some photography, there was about five or six bees all buzzing around a Lavender bush, and some other bugs around a Daffodil bush.

Went to Victoria (mainly Melbourne) on the weekend as my brother lives over there, got a few photos.

you haz my shoes!
the higher your ISO the higher your noise level will be,
if you are on manual your ISO will always stay the same. so this mean if you have an ISO of 100 it will stay 100
if you are using auto it may adjust depending on the light. if you are in low light the flash may pop up to compensate but auto no flash mode will just boost the ISO
this will cause more noise.
(p.s. foolio) thx for the software but mac OSX gives me all the camera info under 'get info'

Say I'm looking at a sign on a road, and I want the sign to be clear, but everything else out of focus?
I know by changing the aperture you focus on different.. distances or lengths, but is there a way to change the settings of what is not focused on?
Hopefully this is understandable.. :P

There is no setting to change what is focused on.
the only thing that controls the depth in a photograph is your focal length (mm of lens) and your aperture size (F-Stop)
also i don't think you have quite the right understanding of what an aperture does, id suggest doing more research :P

i look a photo with the florescent on the right the left and under the chin of the teddy and blended them in photoshop. Giving me an effect of actually having a flash and fill light in a softbox. the technique, i will use to a larger extent on a bigger subject to fully light something that would be impossible otherwise. It's gonna be awesome!

So you spent 12 hours on it and it still looks fake?
what are you talking about? it's a style.
it has a filter on it that makes it a little more illustrative.
this is the finished product without the filter. As i say it's a photographic style and gives the subject an HDR look.
when i post something like a car up with this technique you'll say wow cool not, that car looks fake :/ whatever that means!

Post by: Growler on November 21, 2009, 06:36:46 pm
HDR in SLR is all about dynamic ranges and depth of shadows, detail in hilites and incredible colour ranges.
** True HDR in photography is a photo taken with 3+ photos more the better but subject dependant. Camera mounted on a tripod, take phots at various EV say -2, -1.5,-1 etc through to +2 so you have a series of photsd of the same objest with all differnt colour and tonal balance. They get blended together to make 1 magical photo. The end results can be stunning, almost surreal.
HDR and long exposure photography are the 2 things that are making me itch to get all my SLR gear up to date again!
beautiful example of HDR capturing such a huge range of colours and tones.

Why the christmas tree so white? Am i detecting a racist comment aimed at me!?!?!? :> He must of being like speed racer on that bike on christmass!
Any way! In my spare time, aka holidays before first year of uni, I've started to really get into photography. Some thing i have always really enjoyed just never perused.
Will upload some pics later of my experiments ;> Playing around with shutter speeds and iso's so i can get a feel. Finnaly know the DSLR im using's settings :> Cannon EOS 300D

Ive always wondered, with black and white pictures....is it best to take em with the setting on the camera? or use a programme like photoshop to do it??
I assume the camera, but it could be cool having em in colour then changing em to black and white.

So no I'd recommend you first shoot in colour and then decide, there are far more options involved.
EDIT: Although Gimp you do have a point. Make sure you never leave that mode on though, you might just miss that good colour shot.
2nd EDIT: Also shots with that mix of slight sepia and black & white aren't available on any cameras I know of.

This little bugger is the devil in disguise. I kid you not. Eats and plays with everything. Almost pierced the missus nipple the other day so I threw it out of the room yelling "those are my toys, ruin those and I'll ruin you".
However, she does let her guard down and ends up sleeping in the gap between the beds backboard and the pillows:

Or even better.
1. Copy the layer.
2. use the ruler tool (measure tool) and draw a line along the horizon (measure can be found if you click on the eye dropper tool in the bottom corner).
3. image>adjustments>rotate canvas>arbitrary.
4 crop the image.
Cool.

no need to copy the layer, just double click it and name it whatever, voila unlocked.
Yea but then if you stuff it up, you have to open the image again. Where as if you copy the layer, you can just delete the crapped up layer, and start again.

I think I love bumble bees, though. The lens of my camera must have been not 2 inches from that top fella' and he completely ignored me. Unfortunately they never keep still long enough to get the exposure right.
On the plus side, more photoshop experience for me.

Can you set up any presets on your camera, why not make up a preset with AEB so you shoot 3 photos at once with 3 diff exposures. Do it at a nice speed like 800+ and then try some diff brackets for shooting, 0 +0.5 & +1.
Just a thought, would cover your bases with photography like that, if camera is fast enough it's under 1 second of photos for all of em.

I did also think the douche thing was a bit OTT, but then putting your name on photos is a bit douche-baggery, so I did not say a word.
I love dragster bikes, used to have a couple but left them down at the family beach house for a few summers and they rusted away.

Tell them you want a Canon 1000D or a 500D (preferably a 500D).
Tell them to get you a few lenses aswell... zomg they can be expensive!

I was all set to blow money on a D90 then after alot more research found out a lesser value camera did a much better job at what i wanted to focus on.
there are ALOT of good cameras out there not made by canon and nikon that are just as good, if not better.

Figure out what sort of photography you mainly want to do and then research the cameras, all of them excel at differnt things.

Im not saying nikon and canon are bad, far from it, but they are not the only choices when it comes to cameras.

pentax, fuji, samsung, sony, panasonic, lecia, all of those brands have some very sexy cameras, all that are great at certain things. Hence why I say if you plan to focus more in 1 style of photography, then figure out what will fufill your needs.
Im not saying nikon and canon are bad, far from it, but they are not the only choices when it comes to cameras.
they are if you are looking for a dSLR that will be good for years to come.
sony = for dslr, not a very good idea now days
pentax = some nice film cameras out there. not a lot of demand for their dSLR range.
fuji = maybe some good point and shoots
samsung = nice town cameras?
panasonic = " "
lecia = if you're a camera enthusiast maybe.

I'm sorry Deviant, but either you haven't done any research and are just a fanyboy of Nikon, or you truly have little idea what you are talking about. Im not saying you don't take good pics ;)
My last 3 cameras were nikons (fuji S2 was nikon based) and I was just going to buy another nikon, cause nikon is nikon, they are good, hell there lenses are some of the best, but then my claim got slowed down so i thought wht not do some research into what I actually want. I'm pleased, im saving myself nearly $1300nz and getting one of the best lowlight highiso cameras on the market without having to go to a professional body. Leaves me money to buy a fast prime and some extra glass down the track.
ninja edit. That panasonic is a beautiful camera, that was very close to being my purchase, i dont think you would be dissapointed with it at all, the new m4/3 mount is starting to become a very popular thing.

The D90 you listed was the one I got, but it was on special, and had $200 cash back, I just wanted to but in on the conversation, which keeps this page photo-less...

Still looking around at price's 1,398.00NZD is the lowest price we've found yet... price's that we could find for the D90 ranged from 1,795.00NZD to 2,699.99NZD

We had a look at the 500D but as I have to pay anything over a thousand that I now know lol we were put off by the price :eek:, we checked out the 1000D but my dad still thinks I'm better off getting a Panasonic Lumix DMC-G1.... I'm not sure if he's correct or not but he understands some of the thing's I don't when it come's to camera specs.
Oh and a photo just to keep the thread in tact.

Post by: Growler on January 20, 2010, 10:21:54 pm
It is a quality camera, and will take quality photos, it uses a fairly newish lense design (m4/3) but it is believed that alot of the others will go down this road anyway (lecia, samsung & olympus all have 4/3 lense). Also they sell a k-mount adapter, and the k-mount system has been round for a longlong time and there are a plethora of lenses available new and 2nd-hand on that system. K-mount is the pentax mount, they are a bit like nikon and have never changed since like 1970's, check trademe for pentax lenses new & 2nd hand.
The 1 downfall that it had that ruled it out for me was that the maximum exposure in bulb mode was 8 minutes, this may not be of concern for you. But this is why I said you need to look at all the brands and see what fits your needs.
What sort of photography are you wanting to do, anything in particular?

I like taking allot of photo's of landscapes, structures and wouldn't mind being able to do a bit of still life.... tbh I'm only really starting photography, I adore art spend allot of time sketching and painting, but when I find myself not in the mood to do that sort of art I find myself trying to take photos with my cell phone which I very much enjoy, even if over half the photos don't turn out so great.

It's about photography, which is good enough.
I am very similar to you, except I can't draw to save myself.
I love taking photos, but not so many of mine turn out so well, but I guess that just means I have to take more, and play around with my camera more improve my photography skills.

i bought everything separately, cam bodys don't come with anything but one battery (and the obvious extras) i don't think.
the tamron comes with a hood yes. i bought the D90 body, Tamron 17-50 VR, Extra battery, 4GB class 6 card for 2.3k.

Then this morning my Dad came around and I decided to show him the photos so he could pick out which ones that he wants, and they were all wayyyy over exposed, as I was playing around with my camera last night and didn't even think to change the settings yesterday.
So yea, went back today and all the major damage had been repaired. But got some decent shots, good thing about the ones that I did get today, is that they look a lot deeper and worse on camera than they are in real life.
There's a lesson or two in that I guess. Stop being such a noob. :P

It's rather a hit n miss to get the bracketing right to capture all the detail you need. Relying on the meter level isn't always as accurate as it thinks :/
More recently, off camera flash and strobing has been name of the game.

I think it was a bit easier for me having a lappy on site with the camer tethered. I framed the pics, focused then turned all camera controls off and did everything from the macbok side. So I set my ISO 1st, then trialed the HIGH and LOW end shutter speeds, once I had those set I told it to take 3-6 photos from those speeds bracketed. Didn't have to touch the camera once. I can quite happily say that I don't think I would of got the same results had I had to do the bracketing manually on the camera itself.
What, what? Your camera was hooked up to your laptop while you took photos? :sly:
Post by: Mjr.Carnage on February 25, 2010, 04:36:04 pm
Canon, and possibly Nikon? allow you to shoot using software and USB cable hard tethered. I have done this in a studio format myself using a 5m USB extension lead.
You can set shutter, aperature etc all on PC when camera is in Manual mode (uses the digital instructions the dials make when you use them on camera) and click take shot. 40D (live view) even lets you lift the shutter, and get realtime view of what you are looking at to align it before clicking shutter off.
It can leave them on camera and show you a snippet, or save direct to PC for review, like you see them do at model shoots.
I too was shocked at the number of people that don't install the full software suite and realise this :) RemoteCapture. Also supported in lightroom, CaptureOne etc.
Post by: Growler on February 25, 2010, 04:40:51 pm
I use photoshop for all my PP, but I have been using that since hmmmm photoshop 3 (not CS3)
I have a macbookpro so I have been tethering with sofortblid (http://www.sofortbildapp.com/), absolutely gorgeous piece of FREE software, lots of nice little features, rightdown to being able to use my apple remote as a shutter release to the laptop to the D90!

Could I grab the middle photo on the left Growler? It would make a nice wallpaper. As I write here my MSc thesis on the Southern Alps is sitting on my desktop waiting to be printed tomorrow. The Canterbury Plains and the Alps themselves are a very special place! I'm almost always constantly jealous of people who call the south island home.

Post by: Growler on February 26, 2010, 08:09:46 am
When I say it was just levels, that is a little bit of a lie, it's a combination of 5 photos combined 1st, but there is no major swinging of colours etc. I have attached a little SS of the 5 pics to give you an idea. The image on the left is totaaly blown in the highlights, but goves you all the detail and colour in the shadows. and that goes all the way to the image on the right being totally to dark ib the shadows, but gives me the stunning details in all the clouds. You combine all of these to get the best out of everything, and a exposure range you will never achieve with just 1 photo.
They are merged in apps like Photomatix, photoshop, Hydra etc.

Anyway, this weekend im going to try my hand at focus stacking using an app like helicon (http://www.heliconsoft.com/heliconfocus.html). It's really geard more towards macro photography, but unitl I get my macro adapter back I will just have to try it with a normal lens.

1st is 1 shot from the stack, the 2nd is the finished result, still have alot to learn, but trials indicate to some very promising results. The final picture was 5 photos stacked to get a full Depth of Field.

Even the manual adaptor will not work if the computer chip is dead.
Pity as I have 2 good lenses for the camera being :
Olympus Zuiko auto zoom 28-46mm 1:4
Vivitar Series 1 70-210mm 1:3.5
Also have a motodrive capable of 5fps and a sunpak auto 30dx thyristor again capable of over 5 flashes per sec.
The question I have is can the old lenses and flash be used for a digitial camera ?

I do like it that you can see more of the detail but i think that over all strikingness of the pic was better in the original.

Agreed.
But in lightening the image, I hope I have shifted the focus point to the monarch, which is what I wanted in the original.

Mate that is truly stunning!

Doh, EXIF was removed. Its actually just as clear as the single, but layering allows you to tweak the sharpness a whole lot more bringing out craters etc.
ISO400, F4, 1/500 - Was hit and miss for about 4 shots to get it right, cause the camera will tell you its going to be well under exposed (due to the black content) but it LIES
I was trying to get the green halo it had (bizzare atmospherics last night) but failed. Going for 2nd shot tonight if its the same. May need to bracket expose. 1 for the moon, 1 for the sky and layer.
I used registax to stack. http://www.astronomie.be/registax/ can be cumbersome, but can make a good result as above.

also i took this one last night while playing with camera - im trying to be less lazy and use the manual settings

I took this with a Canon 500d with an 18-55 lens as a series of portrait shots and then stitched together. I was in a rush as I was on a field trip at the time and the bus was about to leave. This is actually a crop from a larger photo, however I decided I didn't like the foreground and liked the stillness & reflection of the harbour. The foreground of the photo unfortunately distracted from the harbour, so away it went :)
I will probably add it to my site later on tonight, just wanted to share it with you guys first.
The stitching program I use is called PTGui (http://www.gui.com). So bloody simple to use and does an excellent job at stitching. When I actually can afford to buy my own gear (Currently I beg/steal/borrow or resort to my cellphone nokia n93i) I will try and get my mits on a wide-angle for such photography.
There's a couple more shots I am itching to grab around banks peninsula:
I want to do a pano of a Southerly storm rolling in towards chch from birdlings flat, a pano spanning from the peninsula, down the beach to the raging grey/black clouds of the approaching storm. The only tricky bits is going to be the waves, that's where a wide-angle lens would be much better than stitching multiple shots.
The other shot, I was inspired coming back from French Fest in Akaroa last year, as I rounded a corner coming along Lake Ellesmere, there was an amazing blue/purple/pink/orange sunset which was reflected amazingly in the stillness of the Lake, and all of the surrounding landscape was a black silhouette. Sadly I didn't have a camera on me, I was so angry.
I'll probably go back to Lake Pearson (on the way to arthur's pass) during the winter as well to capture the snow capped mountain reflecting on the still lake. I think I need to find a better vantage point than I used last time though.

Here are some taken from a few days ago. Snow beginning to disappear and trees budding.
This is a temple in the middle of the city, bit of serenit amidst chaos. Tried hard to chop out cables, and other random interference.

Pipe On a roof, again liked the strength of the curve with a layer of snow on it.

Japanese Magnolia buds preparing to open. All sorts of crap in the background I tried to keep out of the shot. Mostly successful.

Guy walking down the street. Liked the lines of snow on tthe trees and road.

Pigeon going over a yellow line. Stalked this guy a bit until it ended up where I wanted it for the contrast. Needed better zoom, but bird non cooperative.

Nice - very vibrant ! - what kinda camera are you using? I don't think mine is flash enough to do HDR shots :(
Of course it is.
You just need to take multiple photos at differnet exposure levels, then put it into a piece of software that knows how to layer and process HDR imagery.
It's mostly software side that handles the HDR effect. A camera doesn't need a certain function to achieve this (apart from manual control). Google search your camera model + HDR tutorial, and you should find a step by step guide on how to do it.

Canon handhelds can have a hacked firmware installed that will do bracketing for you, otherwise you do as Ri said. Prolax would of taken his 3 photos for that within 1 second I imagine, alot harder to do if you have to manually change setting between each pic (with moving objects)
I was wondering if the bracketing option on my Nikon D90 was for HDR, or something similar, been meaning to try it out.

Bracketing is used to get different exposure levels for the same shot then you pick the best. A must for a film cammera when you set up a shot and cant just play back the photos. You can't just go back and capture that sunset an F stop down later. Ideal for HDR I guess, thou I don't know what the spread of exposures used normally is.

Speaking of bracketing, that fish photo for example looks a bit washed out in colours and overexposed because of the bright sun. By bracketing you would probably find the underexposed photo would have better colour and definition. I'm sure there are other tricks for getting good photos in bright sun and it may depend on the light metering of the camera, etc.
I will have to get some of my old photos out and post them up.
I'd love to be able to get a nice DSLR. My Dad just ordered a EOS550D with the 2 lenses. Only problems is he doesnt know much about photography, So I told him he needs to do a bit of reading. If anyone knows good web sites for Basic photography instruction they would be much appreciated.

Yea thanks mate, I did try bracketing with a few different shoots that day, but none really turned out, most photos looked washed out, and a bit blurry because they were all hand held.

As above but multiple short shots then stack them using a photo processing application.
Post by: Growler on April 08, 2010, 09:56:41 pm
I used my kit 18-105 lens at 18mm, f/4.8, ISO 500. Each shot is 30 seconds, with a 1 sec delay between, continuous shooting. The lucky thing I have is I can control my camera from the macbook I take out with me, so I do about 5 or so shots till i get the stars looking right, then I just hit go and walk away. Once I have my shot framed up how I want it, I can make all camera adjustments (WB, ISO, AP, Speed, metering, EV) on the laptop, and then just start the continuous shooting.
Yes a remote shutter relase for $20 would do the same thing, only difference is I have 100+GB and a bigger screen to look at.
Here is the 1st photo of the trail. Settings as mentioned above.

Should i be able to set the shutter open for half an hour, or is that camera specific?
Post by: Growler on April 08, 2010, 10:09:18 pm
The problem with digital and long photos is noise from the sensor heating up, hence why the stacking option is cleaner. You need to trun long exposure noise reduction off, if shooting in a area that has light pollution (city lights etc) shoot in tungsten white balance and it will get rid of the orange/red tinge.
If you just want nie sharp photos of stars, you need to shoot as fast as possible. 1 30 second exposure is a surprisingly large ammount of movement in a star.
Put your camera on the tripod, put it on timer mode, so that once you press the shutter button you can take your hands opff before it takes the pic so there will be no shake. Try lots of differnt settings, only way to learn is to try try try, got nothing to lose but space on your card and time!

Post by: Growler on April 09, 2010, 08:39:21 am
What I do is set up for my stack shots, take all the photos of the stars etc, then using exactly the same settings I put the lens cap on and take a black frame, this is used for noise reduction aka Black Frame Removal. After that I take a shot for the foreground which can be done at different ISO/shutter/F. Then just use a mask in photoshop, to bring your foreground/not stars back to life.

Perhaps the source images didn't have enough range differential (one right, one too dark, one too bright). Infact the top one appears as if all 3 were likely too over exposed. Blown out Yellow flowers and sky fringing. I would have expected to see some of those shadows lifted.

No no no!
Ready the Sunny 16 rule in the tips and tricks, use that as your basis for most outdoor daytime photography. I will put some night time, dusk, moonlit tips up this week.
Will also try and put a HDR, stacking, light grafitti tutorial up as well.

* Stare at two pictures
* Cross your eyes until pictures merge together to form one
* Profit
NOTE: If you are having trouble try moving further away from the screen or imagine something very far away behind the images.
I may do more another time.

120 x 30 second exposure stacked for a total of 1 hours exposure time.
The thin wavy blue streaks you can see in the glass are star reflections, shows the pressure and distortion that must be on the glass. Was a difficult shoot due to huge amounts of light pollution. To let enough light in to pickup the stars and retain the details in the gallery itself. Had I not wanted to catch the trails in the glass, I would of shot for the sky for 1 hour then over-layed the gallery detail in a single exposure.
Hope you enjoy :D

This is a lowrez higly compressed jpeg version, roughly 2.5% of the full size image. The full size image you can see the boats in Akaroa Harbour, which is the bay closest to the bottom in the sun glare.

love the panorama - how did you go about doing it?
D90 + Tripod + Raw + full manual mode + infinity focus etc.
Set the rig up and spent a good 20 mins getting the tripod as level as possible (my old 'Slik' has not bubbles :( ) so was constantly spinning the head through 360 to make sure was as good as I could get. I shot this with all images in portrait is roughly 40+ pics, or 2 x 20 really as there is 2 storys of images.
Once happy with alignment I manualy set the camera up to shoot about 1-2 steps to dark in the darkest part of the frame/panorama. SO I think I was f13 at 1/350. all metering spot, no active lighting etc (I think I may of done this wrong) Pretty much you dont want the camera to change ANY settings in ANY way at all so that from frame to fram the only thing changing is the actual data. So when you get to the bright section it's not blown out, and not overly dark in the shadows. I hope this makes sense.
Then I picked a start point on the hills away in the background and shot going round the full 360, I tried to leave about a 15% overlap in each frame by picking something from each frame. Speed is reasonably important for things like light & clouds, but go as fast and cleanly as possible and environment allows. The top row I had the hills on the back of the harbour at about the 1/4 mark on the VF frame, and the 2nd row I knew if I kept the hills at just below the top I would be sweet.
Stitched together using PTGUI, worths it weight in gold for this sort of work, messy with such a big one, but still get beautiful results.

I had an awesome opportunity to take a pretty nice photo this morning, if I was not already running late for work, my neighbour had his Porsche 911 (or something along those times) out the front of his house, and it had just been raining, but there was a very small gap in the cloud, and the sun was shining onto the car, showing every little rain drop on the car.
Looked awesome, but yea, I was already running late for work, so had no time. :(

if you can turn white balance off, or metering and manually force it, do that. It should prevent those vertical bands in the sky.
Ill definitely look into that, thanks very much.

Played a round of golf today with a mate, and after we were done and I was returning the cart, this little fella came right up to the main building. He was not shy at all.
On the 9th hole a magnificent double rainbow appeared, made me regret not taking my D90 along with me for the day, although it was raining very heavily for a while, so I guess it was the safe decision.

I may of accidently a truck.... it sort of just ran away on me ;) Im going to have a play on another version and remove the gravel road all together so it truly looks like im in no mans land as such.
For that's a nice pic mate, a little out of focus what focus and metering mode have you got the camera set too?. Is that your 50mm lens, gives a nice bokeh (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bokeh) on the background lights.
Post by: foRsakEn on June 11, 2010, 11:19:47 am
focus :(
that's the 50mm, absolutly loving it!! I use it more than the 18-105mm. I use manual focus always but find it hard to tell if it's chrisp or just off being chrisp and the photo you mentioned is an example of that. How can I improve?
one thing I kick myself for after shooting is forgetting to play with the metering
it's set on dynamic.

I own that camera, but when ever I try take a high detail picture of my Axolotls, its blurry and usually out of colour. Which i realise has a large possibility of being my fault, But I would like to if i can actually take good photos with this camera.
Post by: Growler on June 17, 2010, 08:14:09 am
Can you factory reset the camera, that would be my 1st suggestion, just mke sure in all the times of using it you havent accidently put or activated a weird setting.
Make sure shooting at highest rez, put white balance to auto, shoot within the cameras designed focus ranges and try and shoot without using the digital zoom.
Post some pics after you have tried that and let us see what you mean.

Your contradicting yourself. Your pro, why not give him tips on how to improve his shot.
I agree with smegma, if you can get a bit more back light without getting any reflection on the glass, it might help. Are you using a tripod/table/chair? That will drop the blurriness quite a bit, plus setting your ISO to a lower rating (1600 ISO -> 400 ISO) will help as well.
The lower you drop your ISO the longer the shutter needs to stay open, so your mate needs to hold real still. Try starting from ISO 800 then working your way down from there. Also when you trigger yer camera put a time delay to prevent movement from your hands.
If your still having problems with grainy pics, then you might have to put the pic through photoshop to reduce the noise.

Whilst the saying "It's not the tools, it's the tradesman" is true, it's only true to a certain extent. Take it with a grain of salt.
I wouldn't expect anyone to take NZIPP award winning shots with a webcam.

You're taking what i said far to literally, dude.
Who said i was pro? I didn't...
I'd be surprised if that camera had an ISO of 1600. Anyway, try turning on the lights in the room, using the flash and resting it on something.
I bet the first shot with the flash will make the photo 1000x better.

There is an "sp" mode
Auto mode
M mode
A Mode - apparently the best mode after looking at my pictures.
S Mode
P Mode.
I figured auto mode would be cheap, and not work as well as a well set up shot. Any help / clarification.
Also what is with the changeable setting F2.8 - F8 (i've seen it higher but at the mode that i've currently found best, thats the range)
Edit: and now their flat after 10-16 pictures...

Blacky ( the black one ) is just sitting in the corner stearing at me playing computer. These photos are so good, you can see his/her random spike in his tail (not hard, and its not a command thing). You can also see his/her gimp hand :3 (front right hand)
Pinky ( the pink one) is just being his/her regular self and sitting under the log.

30sec or bulb, try run ISO 100-200 'IF" you can, do heaps of test shots cranking up the iso in steps till you get the desired result.
With that traffic sort of scenario, you may be better being slightly further away to avoid refractions/reflections directly into the lens, you can always crop the final image!
Long exposure noise reduction OFF
White balance, Flourescent normally give best result.
If you dont have a remote release use timer.

The small spider next to the large female is the male. He is a parasite within her web, one female may have several male parasites in her web. Size dimorphism (body difference within same sp) clearly visible in all species of nephila.
Common name: Golden Silk Orb Weaver.
Can you get a zoomed picture in of just a female? Spider will not leap out at you or anything and they are all over the place in Korea right now(will post a few when they grow a bit more)...no idea about Aus possibly not due to seasons if you are in non-tropical part.

So this iPhone app is not available outside of the UK, does anyone know of a similar (preferably free) app that does the same thing, I see a whole list of GPS apps, but I really have no idea if they are all the same thing?
I would like to do this, simply so I have a record of where I was when I took a photo.
Also, just about to head out into sunny Adelaide to take some shots, hopefully one or two decent ones aswell!

Looking for a similar PC program though
Post by: foRsakEn on August 29, 2010, 11:30:08 pm
Download GeoLogTag Free from the app store and google geosetter and download that..
Load the data from the logger on your phone making sure the time on your camera is set to that of your PC/program if it has a seperate clock and hey presto it works :)
I've just tried it myself
Post by: Spork on August 29, 2010, 11:38:48 pm
Most of my photos were way over exposed though, got a couple of decent ones I guess, will post up tomorrow maybe.

Plus if in a situation like that spork and unsure of exposure, just put bracketing on and shoot 1+/- and that will cover your bases.

I know people say shoot in jpeg, saves time yadda yadda yadda.... But computers are so fast and big these days that shooting in raw+jepg is worth its weight in gold.
Plus if in a situation like that spork and unsure of exposure, just put bracketing on and shoot 1+/- and that will cover your bases.
I did do bracketing actually! You should be proud. :P
And some of those photos turned out O.K, however I went 2.0 not 1.0, so teh difference was rather large, but even then it worked out fine, as it was a damn nice day yesterday.

I had some brilliant opportunities for photos, however Millie did not seem as patient as I was. Tugging on her lead every five seconds made keeping steady extremely difficult, she also ruined a brand new pair of jeans of mine (Yes I do realise it was a BAD idea to wear a new pair of jeans down to the river, however I did not expect to be in any messy situations).
So it seems the best moments for photography were when Millie was tied up.
Second to last of the.. Willow? Is perhaps not that great a photo, however I absolutely love Willows. :)

i am lookin at getting my hands on some electrical transformer oil because its a little thicker and reduces the amount of rippling.

No idea. Probably because it takes two seconds longer to adjust ISO than it does other stuff, so I compromised. =I
But the reason why I'm going to start posting the details is so you guys can tell me what I'm doing wrong, then I can hopefully get better!

Even the width of the horses neck in the bottom left hand corner is too big. It's a brand, not a feature of the photos and at the moment your mark is a feature that is taking away from the photo.
If you are worried about copyright etc etc etc, spend the money on a app called Digimarc, it will inivisbly mark and trak your images on the web and you can find if anyone stole them.
If you are doing it to get your name out there, then hotlink your image to your website and leave a small brand on your images.

Growler im after a 400mm minimum zoom lens for motorsport, maybe even constant f-stop around 2.6 I think a lot are? What do you suggest? Sub $600 AUD and prederaby I try use DWI (http://www.dwidigitalcameras.com.au/store/index.asp)

Id suggest the Sigma 'BIGMA' it's got great reviews. its a 150-500, so on the d90 will be 210-700mm so a HUGE reach.
http://www.dwidigitalcameras.com.au/store/product.asp?idProduct=1958
there is of course the super expensive option... but ha, sif!low fstop..... ouchies 200-500mm f2.6 is a whopping $32,500!!!
if you wanted to just dabble in it to try out super zooms, get the cheap cheap nikon 70-300 ($115 AU) which is 98-420mm and then whack a Kenko autofocus 2x converter on it for like $150. That will double the length of ANY lens you own. Which would turn that cheap 70-300 into an effective 200-800mm lens.
You could look into a reflex lens like this

my opinion, the Bigma is hard to beat, and you could whack a 2x converter on that sucker later on and be left with an effective lens of 400-1400mm on the D90.

You can stack converters, 2 x + 2x or 1.4x + 2x.
There will probably be some cheap manual focus versions on ebay, hell there might even be some cheap autofoucs. This appears to be a fmount autofocus 2x.

On the D90, and im sure on some other cameras, you can force it to put 'stars' on all light sources in photos, works well at night sometimes....
can also buy 4 point star filters

Things like geckos, peripatus, huhu beetle....tried to get a nice photo of one crawling on my face last time in NZ, but thing was diabolical!!! One of those really colourful NZ galaxids fish adults that whitebait mature into. You see them in many streams around NZ, come in blues, reds, greens, 10cm ish at most, very pretty. Some of the stuff living in rockpools around the coast ;p
Korea doesn't have much in the way of ocean or terrestrial life...find it a bit saddening.

I was just bored while watching some How I Met Your Mother, waiting for the soccer to start, decided to take a few photos of random stuff in my view.
I can't believe the detail of this photo, I mean my hat is not dirty at all, but it looks like I just pulled it out of a vacuum cleaner bag.

This was minimum focus length (45cm) which is why it's not very sharp on the edges when wide open. The Depth of field is so short, im picking about 30mm. These are coasters.
Beautiful colour and clarity, sharp as a needle in the middle, soft on the edges, but that would dissapear shooting at 2.4/2.8 etc. Love the bokeh these lenses give!
Doing a heap of work at a concert in the weekend. Will post up some pics after.

What ISO you using on the 1st pic? Tis a little harsh on the eyes
Fairly sure on that one it was quite low. will check in a bit, although depending on if I took that one before or after the spider picture, if it was after then it would probably be quite high. :P
It was before it, so fairly sure it was quite low, but I can't remember exactly and the exif details don't show much in that area for me.

i normally cant stand hdr photos that are done to improve a photo's lighting but adding too much to a photo is a bit of an art form in its self.... but i suppose theres a diffrence between trying to trick people into thinking that the shades of light and as Growler put it saturation levels are like that out of the camera and creating a Piece of digital art
Post by: swindle on February 14, 2011, 07:38:37 pm
Ive been saturating the hell out of mine for the sake of an over saturated HDR. Given the right image, i love it.
But it really is a take it or leave it form. I'll be playing with more subtle HDR soon.

Post by: swindle on February 16, 2011, 10:28:05 am
It was during sunset, but doesn't really show it however. The brightness gives it that surreal effect that im rather taking a liking to. Here, check this shit out yo...
Quite possibly the most beautiful effect ever created. Spare the bandwidth and pump it up to 720.

Of course once I got down to the Torrens river (Adelaide's main river) there was this decent sized lizard (almost half a metre in length) sun bathing on a rock right in the river, it looked so awesome, ahd it's head crocked up . I pulled out my iPhone but by the time I got that thing all loaded up the darn lizard had moved off.

Welcome.
What do you shoot with?
Hi Swindle,
I shot with a Nikon D300 (will keep shooting with it till is dies lol) with a Nikkor AF-S 20-200 2.8 or Tamron 17-50 2.8. I also have a 50mm 1.8...but it is in storage atm. I also picked up a Kodak Playsport for taking video shots with. It works well...not exactly top of the line...but does the job, for me.
I have put together a slideo (what I call them..perhaps they are already called that).

So I was at my family beach house overnight last night, and decided to go for a walk along the beach today to check out the awesome Australian golden sand beaches with crystal clear water..............

Bit of a help I am hoping for.
So pretty much all of my photos look completely washed out when ever I use full manual. I play around with everything as much as I can, but my photos never look much at all.

Is my example.
Is there something which I am obviously doing wrong, or should I just be taking more photos until eventually I get it right?
Post by: Azzura on February 26, 2011, 08:32:58 am
I am not an expert by any means. But in your examples....the second one - it looks like the White Balance is off/wrong.
I shot mostly in aperture...keeping an eye on my shutter speed (mostly worry about SS when shooting sports), and film speed at 200iso whenever possible (before the shutter speed gets to long). I do keep my WB set to auto for the most part...but sometimes auto gets it wrong.

try to use aperture, ISO-100/200 unless you need super fast shutter for sports etc. WB auto.
Maku sure you havent dialed in some crazy exposure override +2 or something. Helll it may even be worth doing a full reset on your camera (google and manual ahve the info) to make sure something hasnt gone balls up.
Actually just reset your camera.

There are a lot of good, and some cool, looking photos in here, but one thing I notice that is lacking (to an extremity) is good composition, half the photos the subject is sitting smack in the center, or away from power points. What this does, when in the center, is pull the viewers attention, which is good, but the attention doesn't roam from the subject nearly as much as if it were on the power points; this is good in an iconic composition (which is a cause of confusion for a lot of beginners) but none of the images meet the standard.
If you care about your photography, research 'the golden mean', and then go on from that (or, skip to it if you can't be bothered with that much theory) 'the rule of thirds', where the grid is divided into a 3x3 grid and the intersections are known as 'power points'.
Here's a good link for all artists, not just photographers: http://features.cgsociety.org/story_custom.php?story_id=3275&page=1
Additionally, (admittedly in more or less outdated threads) I'm seeing talk about megapixels, megapixels past a certain point is BAD. I believe canon's flagship camera is around... 10MP?... Cameras capture light, that light is stored within a megapixel (somewhere along the road I might be wrong so don't quote me on this stuff, but it's the same basic underlying theory behind it that is correct) as data, but when the light hits it, imagine each MP having a container for R/G/B, when the megapixels that are contained within the camera become too close, the camera has to decide which MP to store the data in, and it can spill into the neighboring bucket, so to speak, because the MP is too close to another MP. If you have too few, the results are obvious, but don't buy into the whole "more megapixels is better" when buying a camera. There are other types with 40-50 MP, but that's a whole other story.
Hope this helps someone, but will probably just induce flaming as usual. Like I said, I'm not a photographer, so don't say something like "if you know so much show me your photos" (I even might if I get some I'm happy with tomorrow, they're not great, I just know the THEORY that comes from other art areas that I actually practice).
And finally, @deadmeatwalking:
Your photos that are horizontal induce calmness, diagonals induce energy (yet your photo [the one at torpedo bay] has no motion and it looks rather confusing to the eye, or it would, yet the composition is quite strong, the ramp pulls the eye to the shore line with the lights, being the center of focus), diagonals are great for large waves, and horizontals are good for still calm oceans that you want the viewer to feel peaceful. I like your first one from torpedo bay, but the final one the viewer's attention is drawn to the lights in the background rather than the wharf? at the front of the image, depth of field would sell your image. Also, there's a bit much negative space in it.
At anyone/everyone: If you want to be a good photographer, research composition!
Feel free to correct me anywhere you think I'm wrong, I'm still learning too.

Rule of thirds is bang on.
MP, somewhat accurate. It's all about the sensor size and how many MP/cm2
The more MP, the bigger the sensor needs to be to accurately collect the data. So as below, The Canon D50 is a much mor expensive camera than D90, but its more MP on a smaller sensor.
- Canon D50 15.5mp 22.3 x 14.9 mm (3.32 cm²) 4.5 MP/cm²
- Nikon D90 12.3mp 23.6 x 15.8 mm (3.72 cm²) 3.3 MP/cm²
- Nikon D3x 25.7mp 35.9 x 24 mm (8.61 cm²) (http://a.img-dpreview.com/resources/images/icon_qmark.png) 2.8 MP/cm²

As said below, Sigma like making medium format cameras, they're a whole other beast. The sensor sizes compensate for the quantity of megapixels.
I know this without even owning a camera (too poor), so I assume you're just messing with me.

Anyway, the underlying theory behind taking a photo (i.e composition) is my strong point, not cameras themselves.
And @swindle/retardobot, I should actually report you both for trolling, that's irony right there.

Self-righteous punk.
It wasn't "arrogantly" judged at all, it was advice offered to people who obviously need it. And really, you're name calling again? Grow up... If anyone here is self-righteous, you stink of it. If you look up the definition, it described you to a T.
It wasn't a "you could do better" post, it was there to give people a gateway to helping themselves improve through research and theory, I went through a lot of this thread and noticed almost no one actually knows how to take a photograph beyond setting the exposure and clicking the button.
You know what, for the people who want to improve, they'll take what I gave and go research and get better, people like Swindle who will continue putting their subjects in the center of their image and think having all their gear makes them a photographer when they can't compose an image, and insults people who offer constructive feedback from an educated viewpoint (something you guys lacked when trying to critique my work, constant source of frustration, and you guys were so emotionally attached to your opinions), and people like rii who doesn't even require a description (speaks for himself)... Well, I'll leave you to your picture thread, keep posting mediocrity (I've seen one maybe two posters who know what they are doing).
And I leave you with this: Why even post your work if you don't want constructive feedback? That's the entire reason for posting it. The only other reason people post it in a place like this is to get praise from people who don't know better. There are some people around here who actually know the subjects you are trying to pursue.

So... rii, scunner, swindle... STOP trying to start a fight, and maybe consider the fact I was trying to help others and you can all stop trying to twist my words into what they aren't. If you put your work ANYWHERE, someone is going to critique it whether you like it or not, if it's too much for you on an online forum then your ego is ruining your ability to improve, and you wont survive in the real world.
And since I've contributed nothing, here's a few. They have issues that I realized later, some were shot for compositional practice, some for learning metering, they're pretty much the first photo's I've taken but you can still see the underlying compositional techniques and what not. Feel free to rip them to shreds, I won't care in the least what people say, and if they say something constructive (something that is alien to this forum) then I'll take it on board.
Trying to get the money together for a Canon EOS 500D.
These were shot on a Canon EOS 1000D.
The bike, "lunch and dinner cruises" boat shot (first two), are both straight from camera, rest are processed from raws.
Edit: looks like I made a mistake using attachments, the quality is pretty much gone. Oh well.

3 hours, 60 photos, 2 to show. Shooting at night without a tripod, mind you I shoot in RAW so I've modified the light temperature to give a better feel to the scene, still skeptical about the mount hobson one because the lights are on like it's night time yet it has a warm sunny feel ;D People will either notice it instantly or maybe not at all if they're untrained....

One thing I noticed on your second shot of Rangitoto (I think it is), check that your horizon is level. Looks go though mate....thanks for pointing out the white bit on mine. I used the multiple exposure feature in the D300 for the waterfall....it is 10 shots merged together, I love this feature now.

You're just going to have to get over the fact that your opinion of what constitutes good photography doesn't align with what you're seeing.
Live with it, and carry on. You're going to continue to see art/work that you don't like the more time you spend in the creative industries.
It's what builds your style of photography/design/art etc.

How about posting something thats no an intimate object or a landscape, Oddball?
Because your sh!t is as boring as gray.
Post by: Oddball on March 13, 2011, 12:37:36 pm
Even if my "sh!t is as boring as grey", at least I can go beyond setting the correct exposure and clicking the button when taking a photograph, your work degrades the art industry... And that's all peachy and fine to take photographs for the enjoyment, no one should have to go away and study it just to capture a memory... just don't call yourself a photographer.
And by the way, stop putting your subjects sitting on and facing the edge of the frame, it makes them look trapped in the photograph. You only do that if your subject is drowning or something. I'd tell you to stop putting them in the center too, but I feel we've traveled that road already.

You have been using a camera for 1 week, yet claim to be some knowledgable person with multiple years of experience.

Parnell train depot. Hiked up a hill, down a hill, up a very long hill, down a small hill, in the blazing sun... but it was worth it. Splitting headache on the way back though...
Got an HDRI of a moving train too (kudos to photoshop's remove ghosts rather than myself...) but in the end wasn't sure if I liked it enough. Same with another of my HDRIs.
There was an old run down train with grass growing inside of it. Lot of detail, but neither me or my buddy got any decent ones of it, was hard to get a focus point on any one thing so we ditched the photos. In the end they came out as a mass of detail with no real focus. Was really cool to see though...
Anyway, enough blabbing, need to compensate with a photo.

Talking to a few photographers, its scares them. Obviously they will never produce a shot like a skilled DSLR user can, but at the same time they take such a good photo the real need for DSLR cameras somewhat curves off.
Like the fear of the iPhone becoming the only tool a photographer needs (as a far out there example)
There are now P&S cameras out there that can swap lens and have contacts to take a flash gun.

I was up on a ladder just now (bout 5 mins ago) taking this photo, and holy balls was I scared shetless. I'm still a bit arachnaphobic, however I can generally cope with most spiders, and I'm fairly sure this is the same spider which I posted a month or couple of months back in this thread when it was about half the size and in a web right below my lemon tree, however now it is absolutely huge, and I was actually shaking when taking the photo, and the end of my neck band thing (the black bit which you put around your neck so you don't drop your camera) brushed against my arm while I was up apon a ladder taking photos and I actually jumped off the ladder thinking that a spider was on me haha... I'm still a bit jittery.
This thing.. Oh the horror.
A strand of it's web which stretched about five metres. No joke. Look how thick it is! The photo does not do it justice. Also there is a spot on my lens. :(
(http://img198.imageshack.us/img198/2811/dsc0010wj.jpg) (http://img198.imageshack.us/i/dsc0010wj.jpg/)
Why can't spider's webs be fluorescent so that I can see them better and know where they are? Haha
EDIT: The second photo is pretty average, however I would love any advice and or criticism on the first photo, I have had a fair bit of practice taking photos over the weekend (went to Melbourne for the GP) so have got a little bit better, obviously still a complete novice however I am starting to grasp what is necessary to take a half decent photo.
Obviously I could have chosen a better spot to take the photo, however as I mentioned previously, I was up on top of a ladder, which I placed in the only place where I knew there was no web, and I was still panicking about if I was to accidentally put my head through a string of web... It was seriously like a nightmare, which I voluntarily put myself through.

Although I left my ladder out next to the web incase I stuffed up all my photos, so I will need to go back outside and put it away before the darn thing attaches a web to it!
The web of the spider seriously covers the whole top of my lemon tree, and it's a full sized tree!

I am very noob so could be very wrong. I also think a little bit of fiddling with levels/post process stuff can help with that too if you are stuck - up a ladder or behind a crap camera as I was.

IMVHO, you need to choose the subject then make it 'pop'. ie - choose the spider, find context to show how awesome it is, then try and get rid of the interfearance using contrast, colour, and depth of field. Or choose the web, whatever, but it seems you went for both and then neither were overly impressive. Two shots with better DOF and composition would have said a lot more IMO.

Thanks a lot, I guess I will have to find another spot which makes the spider stand out more from the tree and it's web. I wasn't really trying to focus on the web at all, however I was trying to take the photos as quickly as I could so I could get the hell away from the thing.
Post by: swindle on March 29, 2011, 09:42:23 pm
I seriously can't. Makes me feel terrible.
Just eliminate all subject matter behind it, so if possible just showing a soft sky. Roll out a sexy 70-200mm piece of glass, will serve you well.

This is also an excuse I am using for why I have not got closer to it, as I do not want to touch it's web, as I hate the feeling of touching web as it pretty much means I have to jump around like a spastic for 10 minutes trying to figure out if I am being eaten alive or not.

Yea, the water shots were only taken because I was there, the whole idea behind the walk was to find some cool plants and or wildlife, but there wasn't actually too much on the day.
SV..? Google says Sonic View, what's that? :P
Also, yea I know the thing is a mushroom, but I've never seen one like that before, it's stem was so thick.

Still waiting for sony's update, but the a850 is a serious bit of camera for its money. And with new Nikon & Pentax due in the next month or so, buy now or wait.... choices choices choices!

These are a good way to get into it, TTL support just not 'branded' with canon or nikon.

So while I wait for my Canon 60D to arrive from Japan I thought I would share some of the photos I have taken over the years chasing the rally (link (https://cid-ae12942db3affb51.skydrive.live.com/redir.aspx?page=play&resid=AE12942DB3AFFB51!163&authkey=Z6nuHbX6JwY%24))... these were taken with several different digi. cameras... from a cheap little 2MP Fuji Point and Click to an Olympus E-500 I borrowed last year..
Below are a few of my fav. photos I took last year, infact the first one has been my desktop for the last year

Having looked through the thread and spent the last week or two looking at all sorts of photography Im really keen to try out a few light painting ideas I have and maybe a bit of time lapse once I get my Canon... Will make sure I post the results...

I was at the v8's and concerts...just got back actually. Popped a couple fun photos. First couple are hand held HDR so bit blurry - but I find it fun to try em when I can. Last one I have mucked with the levels but I quite like the shot - even though it was mainly just a lucky snap that I didn't really have time to setup at all. I just thought the lighting in the rain and spray looked cool. Interested in feedback.

Lol, good idea Swindle. I do like the centre being under the middle of the trees though. The contrast looks nicer in yours though.

What is your ISO set at?
I try my best to stay at 100. Hate high ISO pictures.
Like this picture was taken with an ISO of 2000, and i despise it. The lighting conditions were deplorable. Was taken yesterday at my sisters hockey game, with my new 70-200mm f/2.8 lens. I love the lens so much.
(http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t12/swind1e/post.jpg)
Where as this shot was taken at ISO 200. Much sharper. I have desaturated the colour a little bit. However, this was with my older 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 lens.

Manual mode ftw.
Remember, your little LCD screen is a habitual lier. Trust nothing it shows you to be correct, because as soon as its up on a monitor it can (and most of the time) looks different. A little, to a lot. Its just interesting to see a picture you think looks rather good, become really crap on a bigger screen.

If you are pixel pushing, which lets be honest, most people aren't. Most peoples print needs are met with a 10mp camera.

have you got long exposure noise reduction set to on in the cameras custom functions menu (second option in and set to always on) ;) that and a piece of software called imagenomic noiseware professional (pm me if you want it i have the link for the cs5 version)

I think there is a free trial, and it's available on your usual off site backup places too.
Post by: Growler on May 10, 2011, 11:14:31 am
Google 'black frame subtraction' It has always given me a better result than in camera processiing, this is also good if you want to do star trails etc as you cant have in camera noise reduction on for that, you only have to shoot 1 noise reduction frame for how ever many shots you have at the very end of the sequence.

Man...some really nice photos in this page. I have not had my camera out, but once again have been fiddling with a friends photos. Here is an HDR I made and tweaked from her photo. I was too busy surfing to play with camera's :D

These are quite old, not sure if I've posted any of them before.
I really like it but the first one is blurry, it's from when I first got my camera and did not have a tripod. The necessary level of zoom vs. shutter speed = out of focus :/ Just posting because I think it would of been awesome... if it had worked =D

I like the last one, however the over exposure on the building to the left is a bit crap.

You take 1 photo that has all the details in the sky stars etc, then take 1 with the details in the buildings in the left, then the right, then 1 with the same settings with the lens cap on and merge them all
they call it dark frame subtraction, it is used in star trails, google will be your friend here, will get great results.

Nah, still in school and jobless.
Managed to score myself a bridge camera (Fujifilm S9600) for my birthday though which is a bit of an improvement over the usual compact point and shoot, just haven't really taken advantage of any sunny days yet.

for wow factor I reckon stain ice acrylic is where it's at, especially if you can mount it in such a way to get LED lighting, which I can also help with! Pricing, i'll look after me GetSome buddies pretty fucking well.

Post by: Growler on August 01, 2011, 06:44:56 pm
Here is my guide for printing if you get me to do it.
45mm thick maximum, 120kg maximum (there is room to move here). Anything but mirrors, and I mean ANYTHING (wood, metal, stone, marble, glass, tiles, flax, plastics, leather yadda yadda yadda) It needs to be flat, it needs to be square or have a jig made for it, it needs to be under 1600mm wide and 3600mm long.
Dream it, and I can figure a way to do it. Seriously, think well outside the square!
im going to be trying to print to recycled bricks from the EQ, just have to figure a way to get them print ready, also going to look into shells, and pressed plants etc.

I was down south of Adelaide today with my dad (installing a new 22,000 litre water tank) and found out that there were some whales about.
Unfortunately I couldn't really get any decent photos of the whales, but I still had a fun time trying to. Came within about 50 metres of a couple of them, but as soon as I got to where they were they went under and came back up way out. :(

I decided that I had time to spare, so set up camp and waiting for about half an hour, getting a few decent shots of them and a whale which was further out (that photo which I posted), but none of the whales were doing anything ultra special - mainly just poking their heads out of the water or flipping their flippers so I decided to put my tripod away, turned away from the whales and the second I did that one of the whales which was extremely close jumped straight out of the water - literally it's whole body was out of the water in this jump, so I spun around trying to take as many snaps as I could but it was too late. :(
Damn ninja whales. It was still epic to see though, I've never seen a whale do that before, especially not so close to shore.

Quote from: Spork;1415041
I had a perfect photographers moment yesterday, I was driving along the coast and stopped at this place called Port Elliot as I had heard there was three or four whales in the area, and I could see them in the distance, a little bit further along the coast, and two of them (what looked like a mother and her calf) were about 40-50 metres off shore, so I jumped in my car and raced over to where they were, ran about a kilometre (breaking one of my shoes >.>) and got there.. Just in time for them to go under water..

This is one of many water beetles which decided to make my swimming pool home during winter when we were not putting any chemicals in the pool.

thanks heaps for that link theres some stunning photography there
the nd fader image came out really well mate love how you used the maxed out cross incorporated into the image
have a good long play with it and you'll find the sweet spot (normally about 3 - 4 stops from max) using iso 100 and really low appature (22ish) and you can do full daylight shots 40 seconds long or so

Photography is a way of capturing an moment in time its that moment you see that no one else does so if you do capture and share it hey thats up to you. Dont let anyone tell you its a shit photo ... a shit photo compared to what the identical moment someone else took the exact same photo ? haha doest happen
do what makes you happy take photos of what inspires you
shoot your way
when your comfortable and get in the place you wanna be everything else will fall into place

Speaking of warm fuzzies, first one to guess what plant this is, gets a brownie point.
Photomatix, the HDR program I use, seems to modify the photos when saving them or something, because all the shots which I use PM to process, look different in the program, to what they do when viewing outside of it, such as in this post.

I need to work on compression or something, as my Stony bay 360° panorama come out at a whopping 85mb of jpegs to get into the super zoom. About 10 times the size of the one above.
i'm hoping it will work a bit like PS compression where going from best quality to high quality makes a HUGE reduction in size but very little in quality.
That tekapo is 76 segments in the above link, Stony bay is.....588...lol ffs

This is about 90mb worth once fully streamed and at highest level zoom. Once the 1st layer is loaded it will start turning automatically, I suggest waiting for at least that to happen.

its a fine balance of Fstop and SS + ISO
ist image was shot at f6.3 2 sec
2nd was F9 1/4th sec
and third was F8 1/8 sec all at ISO 100 with a 10 - 20 mm sigma is lens
Post by: Xsannz on December 12, 2011, 09:42:28 am
Now i miss the full frame like crazy but too expensive to replace that gear.
And didny use it as often enough to justify 12k of camera gear anymore.
Way to many hobbies.
But love this thread for the nostalgia and troll the canon 1ds threads regularly

Do you have any problem if we upload your photos to use as desktops?
I have grasshoppers eye staring at me at the moment and would love to have a slide show of deatmeats and others work for my screensaver.
I won't be offended if you say "would rather you didn't".

There's a few museums on the to-do list.
RE: Genienz, what deadmeat said basically. I don't think anyone here will mind all that much - it's a creative commons, I'm sure a default copyright applies but no one who's particularly possessive will upload here anyhow - and if they did I guess they'd watermark.
I'm a thieving pirate anyway, so I don't think I'm in a position to say my moral degeneracy shouldn't comeback to my own productions.
Post by: Spork on January 06, 2012, 04:31:07 pm
@Hori, you should definitely check out as many of the museums and that sort of stuff as you can, there is one called ACME or something like that..
http://www.acmi.net.au/
Which I am yet to go to, but it apparently has some amazing stuff there, and I think they change it around quite often.

Took this yesterday, but don't have my laptop operational atm so no photoshop - stunning frescos all down this alleyway.
If you look at the edge of the white building, where it meets the shorter wall - just by the wall-light it looks like it's curving back - is this a case of the lens distorting the perspective?

Reminds me of when I was a kid, there was a playground at my school made almost entirely from wood, was so damn cool, except for the blisters and splinters and other problems you would get. I remember we used to have races to see who could run around the outside edge balanced along similar wooden logs as pictured above, and one of them was sticking out of the ground in exactly the same way - often lead to kids stubbing their feet pretty badly at times. Running around in sandals as well, so not much protection at all.

It has manual controls bro.
And a viewfinder, albeit 89% frame coverage.
Use them.
Here, this will help.

EDIT: I really like the second one though, super cheesy with the hot air balloons, but it's still good. :P
EDIT2: Ah, after 10 minutes it loaded, may just be because I'm international, although looks like its from Flickr?

Probably because it's an 8mb file. Whoops, should have compressed.

So I thought I'd try to replicate it in Photoshop! I even added a really bad lens flare for the ultimate effect.

Photoshop's kind of fun, but I've never really got into these gimmicks. Interesting to play around with, but I don't really take anything that's been edited like this seriously.
The vintage effect is kind of negated by the television antenna on the neighbour's roof.

was shot at 24mm f2.8 as light was low and overcast, converted to b+W with max blu filter in PS to pop out the darkish areas, then sepia over the top and cropped down to keep subject the main thing in the frame.
comments welcome as i shoot alot but my Post processing has always been a slap dash process...

The flash i can drive up but it causes more problems that it solves i can move a lil in pp its really just a matter of finding the optimum lens position and getting the droplet when its at the stage just before it drops and its at the most cylindrical it can be ...... time is the solution :P

I've found this guy overseas who has some amazing Rally Shots... on his Fb page he has a few examples of before and afters which show how much better images can be after some good post processing.... mine look more like his befores.... would love to find good Photoshop post processing courses / guides so I can produces images like his afters...

(http://www.the-digital-picture.com/Reviews/Sigma-30mm-f-1.4-EX-DC-HSM-Lens-Review.aspx)Have had to do some microadjustment (+15 lol) to get the lens right, but not bad. RAW to JPEP, alright results so far.
All at f/2.8 - 1/1600 - ISO400

We borrowed / hired (from Topic Rentals) a few lenses (Canon EF 16-35mm f2.8 L mkii , Canon EF 24-70mm f2.8 L , Canon EF 70-200mm f2.8 L non-IS) and man they were awesome to shoot with.... want to try the 16-35 again didnt have the best of luck with it in the morning... think that was mostly due to the lack of light... mate used it in the afternoon in bright sunlight and produced some amazing stuff...
anyways heres a few that Im really happy with:

Thanks man... yeah I like the first two.... the second of the two was an awesome spot... except for the showering of stones at a million miles an hour almost killin me and the camera.... The first is an hdr of a shot I liked but couldnt quite get right so tried HDR and really liked the result...

Cool shots man :) I like the frozen front flip.
The first 2 shots - Shot 1 of the wee bubba (is a great shot) is out of focus (as mentioned) and I can only assume its because bubba is too close to the lens? So just watch that, it gets everyone now and again. Also shot 2 - The foreground is very blurry. I imagine the shutter speed was kinda slow. Don't be afraid to ramp up those ISO settings :)
This may help, or it may not :) If anyone ever asks me for advise on DSLR shooting, I just say use AV (aperture mode) coupled with higher ISO's for a while. Helps you get your head around what works in what situation. Also gives you the freedom of being able to hit the shutter button with worry of correct exposure and the SV (shutter value) is selected for you. Keeping the ISO up will help keep the shutter up and keep your images crisp :)

@ Swindle, that last picture you posted of the sea, sets me into dream world where I am not in my office on this sunny hot glorious day, but slowly drifting on some wood, helplessly waiting for a ship to pass by and pick me up from my sun stroked state and rescue me from dehydration, while the sharks taptaptap and scoff at me while I dip my tongue into the salty water and restrain myself from drinking......
Imagination, who would of thought it could be so entertaining. Thx :D

If you're serious, I recommend moving to Palmy to study Photography (however this may not be realistic due to being a dad). You'd be studying the same course I did (but majoring in photography), come out with a degree and would have studied under the care of NZ's top rated photography school. Year after year they produce more NZIPP winners than any other college in NZ. You'd also pick up design skills which I think are so incredibly valuable when it comes to being a photographer. Only draw back is it's a 4 year degree.
Failing that, I know a few people who have studied Photography at Wellington's Massey and they produce some pretty great work.

Plumbing is just such an unfulfilling job for me personally. After 7 years, its time to do something that I feel is more worth while of my limited time in this world.
4 year degree sounds good to me.

So true its not even funny.
And I DO NOT want to become one of those super-cunts.
At this point in time I feel I should pursue this, because I fear that if I do not I will go to my grave regretting it.

I'm currently living in the west bank behind that big fucking wall.
And here is a picture of a thing called a settlement which you might have heard about in the news.
They can be pretty fucking huge.

The buildings in the foreground are Palestinian and the big apartments on the hill are Israeli and they are both behind the wall.

As it were, however, I had put this off long enough that someone simply gave me a camera.
So yeah, I just scored an 1100D with a stock 18-55 lens on it :O
I figure this will keep me occupied for a while and let me save longer for a step up - but I'm just stoked because I was bored of the point-and-shoot.
So stand-by...
Post by: swindle on July 06, 2012, 06:56:23 pm

It has manual controls bro.
And a viewfinder, albeit 89% frame coverage.
Use them.
Here, this will help.

I need a tripod, and possibly better lenses if I want to have more fun with this, But was pissing around with settings taking pictures of cats (camera was on floor to keep it most steady). That little infopic really helped, Cheers :P
Was actually really fun doing just that. I'd show you guys my photos but 1, They're all shit, 2, My house is a mess (lol.) and 3, I'm sure it was annoying enough last time I posted pictures of my once-owned axolotls.

That shit's cray. Do you fear for your life living in a place like that?
Post by: Bell on August 16, 2012, 10:56:05 pm
I don't live in that area its a very extreme place and probably the biggest hot-spot in the west-bank.
I don't fear for my live, in all honesty i've gotten quite used to seeing assault rifles all the time.
I once saw a group of young 20 somethings walking down the main street in Jerusalem in t-shirts, jeans with M16s.
I'm the guy on the right in that photo and I don't even remember seeing that guy.
Also in the pic there is an IDF solider up on the watchtower above a sign declaring the Arabs stole Jewish land and a group of children playing below it.

Postal, how have you been adjusting your exposure and white balance during timelapse's? Just doing it slowly as the lighting changes? Sunsets are cool to record, but difficult to adjust the camera to the lighting without it being super noticeable on the end product.
Like this.

They form pretty much only over land, and what land there is are tall mountains, so the rolling effect is even more accentuated.
I really need to work out how to sort this horizon stuff, that first one, and a LOT that I have done, tend to end up totally on the piss.
Large upload size is because I am awesome. I have also recently upgraded my net, so have faster upload and am all over that bitch like white on rice.

Yeah, its more me than anything else, as I fail to pay attention when taking the photo/s.
Camera has a built in level, but it only shows on the rear screen and there is no viewing mode to make it show on the viewfinder (its an A65 so is digital'n'shit).

Went away for part of the long weekend, had my first try at a timelapse of the sky. Turned out pretty average and way too short. But was a good learning opportunity. Using a 50mm 1.4f, found composition difficult with such a narrow lens.

Northland? Where did you end up
Post by: deadmeatwalking on October 24, 2012, 08:18:46 am
best off to use something like an 18-55 or the likes
depending on the time spacings on each shot the best place to start to get it flowing smoothly is to play at .03 of a second and go go forward till your happy (around 4 hours of shooting will produce around 1min 30 secs of footage)
Post by: Postal2 on October 24, 2012, 03:37:19 pm
but you need to play around and see what looks good and how long you want the clip to be.
Time Lapse from up Cape Hill in Pukekohe
I started just after 6pm and took over 2000 photos in about 4.5 hours, 1 pic every 5 to 8 seconds,
when it was dark the exposure time got up to 6sec.

awesome start though mate ... 50mm will always be hard in that aspect unless you have a large area to work with ie: .. some decent elevation

I used the prime because it is my fastest lens. I was in quite a dark area with little light pollution, and wanted to try and get as many stars as I could, but without them showing movement in each frame.
Went with iso 100, 1.4f, 10sec shutter, about 200 images for that 7 second video (rendered at 24fps). Next fastest lens I have is 18-55 3.5f, which when I tried once before to get some star photos resulted in trails rather than individual specs. Edited the raws to up the exposure a bit and played with the contrast. Original images were even darker.
e.g. Unedited

Postal, your camera must have a huge count on its shutter.

http://www.wilmslowastro.com/software/formulae.htm
t (http://www.wilmslowastro.com/software/formulae.htm)ake 60 seconds and divide it by the CENTIMETRE of your focal length ie 60 / 5 cen = 12 seconds that is the length of time you can have your shutter open on a 50mm lens before the stars start to track in an image so the wide lens you use the longer you can have the shutter open before you start to get tracking :) so at 18mm its 33.3 seconds
when i shoot stars its usually at iso2000 @ f4 40-50 sec's on a 10mm lens iso 100 is too dark to be shooting stars :)

I've taken around the 36k make on this Canon 450D
and I bought it off my Father, god only know how many he took before I got it
(is there somewhere the camera will tell me the shutter count?)

iso400, which was a bit high, plus focus was way off. Need another clear night.

I think it was about 8 or 10 sec per exposure, and about 180 of them (as I made a timelapse too, which was super average).
Next clear night I will try again with lower ISO and better focus.

The dog is meg, she's a boarder collie-retriever and has a lot more grey around her nose these days.
I've got 3 more films to get developed from a trip on the southern transverse train thing, but it's been too pricy as a student, so I'll get those done this summer at some stage.
also your guys photos are amazing too :)

As De said its hard to know how high they are going to go, and with all the action being over in a few seconds you have to be really quick. Bit of a change from still subjects. Hmm, probably should have resized some of these so they were a bit smaller.

This spider is about the size of a fingernail with all it's legs stretched out. Hardly a menacing spider. :P
It's this one that you have to watch out for (rather large red back).

all good mate :) one thing to remember though is that different lenses will always create different bokeh effects .. generally the better the glass the more hexagonal the halation will be :)
Oh for sure, I currently have just the basic kit 18-55, 55-250 and a 50MM lens, the 55-250 produces an okay bokeh when at a suitable distance zoomed in
and the nifty fifty is not toooooo shabby, however it's a cheap plasticy almost disposable feeling lens.

Winter, how do you not feel like a weird-o pervert taking photos like that on the street? Have you had anyone come up to you and ask for a photo to be deleted? (I had a security guard in a museum do it to me, really pissed me off seeing as she walked into my shot, then demands I delete the photo or will have me "removed from the premises").

I've gotten really quick at having my settings dialed in and shooting pretty quickly eh, I usually compose the shot within my own eye first so I don't have to spend 10-15 seconds down the viewfinder. However, to answer your question, I don't really feel like a pervert.. I'm not exactly taking photos of chicks on the street or of short skirted girls going up an escalator or anything haha.
I'll let you know when someone asks me to delete a photo :P or my camera gets destroyed by someone.

Meteors are the shit, but fucking impossible to capture as they appear randomly in the sky and are gone as fast as they come. Harder to capture than fireworks or lightening.
The additional light to the right of the frame is a bitch, its totally washed out a bunch of my images with noise and shit.

Nah I don't think so. They didn't have any lights on late at night, they just had LED headlamps earlier on. Maybe it was just the residual light reflecting off condensation starting to form in the air?

The first picture isn't from the Te Papa exhibition (although thanks for reminding me!) but instead it's from a steam-punk exhibition by a creative designer at Weta.

I only got a DSLR about 6 months ago, so haven't had the opportunity to take photos around Wellington before; and I must say, it fits my interest really well. Picked up a 50mm 1.8 today (first lens I've bought) so looking forward to getting out tomorrow and taking some candid street shots.
Here's some more from the other day, taken with a 18-55.

Awesome shots Hori! Nice work on the composition! - funny thing also, you and I both picked up DSLR's at a similar time AND just purchased nifty fifty 1.8's at the same time haha.Thanks bra.
It's a common nerd-progression from computers/gaming to photography - or at least it's one I've noticed in plenty of geeks I know.
I guess there's similar technical appeal, but the contrast is like; computers play to the introvert tendency and photography to the extravert. In the same way I'm happy to spend a wet-weekend playing around with clock-speeds, the camera motivates me to make the best use of a good day (or a even cloudy one). I have to say, I'm really glad I got into it as a hobby.
Quote from: swindle;1512424
Yo Hori, just noticing your senor or lens has spots?
Never noticed that - I'm guessing it's from the 18-55 (it took a fall once before I got a lens-hood).

Looks good man.
Do the photos look better before being hosted on imageshack? that could be downing the quality - facebook for example DESTROYS all quality in a high res image so that might be the problem.
The only thing I could say with my limited experience would be to bring back the exposure on some of the shots as they're in direct sunlight (spot metering in direct sunlight can have cool effects also - see the photo I took of my cousin drawing above for example) - do this by shooting in RAW so when you edit the photos in lightroom/etc you have complete control over the white balance and exposure etc.
The only other tips I'd have with the 600D would be to shoot in Manual/Aperture priority as much as possible, the other modes are pretty much useless. You'll quickly get the hang of it :)

The photos are coming out great on my desk top, so I'm really pleased with the camera.
My lack of computer skills is working against me when it comes to posting them.
They seem to translate well as email attachments, why is that?

How did you get the sepia tone on the picture of your cousin? Is that done in-camera or post?
I don't really know what the fuck I'm doing with LR, so it's something I'm trying to find out from people (as opposed to the paralysis of having a million google results all suggesting different things).
Anyway, here's another shot from the same day

Cheers matey,
How did you get the sepia tone on the picture of your cousin? Is that done in-camera or post?
Mainly post, but the picture itself was taken with spot metering, which allowed me to get that effect. In Lightroom I mainly changed it to black and white and played around with the tone until I got something that felt 'summery' whilst still being technically B&W (well.. sepia)

I was in the same boat, so just started playing with shit to see what happens. Turns out it was a pretty good way to do it, and then look to google for more specific things which you would expect to be able to do in some hardout program, e.g. I presumed LR could do batch processing, which was useful to me for timelapse's, google showed me the way.

Took this on New Years day, crazy stoked with the composition, could've used a bit of tweaking but it looked awesome at the time and didn't come out a bit blurry until after I had uploaded them ah well.. onwards and upwards!
(http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8510/8357392026_49bd2aea84_c.jpg) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/jvsphotos/8357392026/sizes/c/in/photostream/)
this was just a bumblebee doing his shit.

and then yet another photo of my son, quality of the image is pretty sweet considering it was taken with my nifty fifty and natural light.

and finally a starry shot on New Years eve night - not to happy with the quality, really blurry and left my shutter at home so could only manage a 30 second exposure..

Seens f2.8 or lower glass or a high iso low noise camera are the best things to have for stars.
I do quite like the lower right of the star photo though with the silhouette of the tree.

THB, for star photos you kinda don't want much longer than 30sec, unless you are trying to get trails and shit. Also need no clouds, or very slow moving ones, as they go all blurry and shit in long exposures (which at times can look cool, but if you are going to stack a bunch of images, it totally fucks them).

Yeah, def need a better lens, that shot was taken with my 18-55 iirc on my 600D - I'll keep giving sky shots a try until I get em figured.
+ practice practice practice.
Post by: krasher on January 08, 2013, 03:25:09 pm
Star/Night photos are fun. I think I need to up my ISO a bit. 100 was me being too extreme trying to avoid noise but I can go WAY higher iso than that by the looks.

yeah mate you really need to push the iso for star shots .... any more than 30 secs on an 18mm lens with an crop sensor will cause star tracking ( trails) i generally (on a dark night with NO external light) ill always shoot at iso 2000, i still get some noise at that but use a noise filter in Ps try at iso 800 next time with a real high Fstop F2.8 or F3.5 or F4 :)
Cheers bud, will give it a shot (geddit) - the noise on my 600D is quite substantial at iso 2k but might be okay at around 800.
Haven't tried the noise filter in PS, will give that a try also.

Do you use a plugin with PS to noise filter? Or just the built in stuff?

Have a play with white balance in post, or even on the camera, it really changes night shots.

Im still not using digital. Not bvecause I cant afford to. But because I still enjoy taking 35mm shots as a hobby and the excitement I get when a new film gets developed.
More recently I photographed the 2013 Airsoft nationals last weekend in Chch.
But heres a few I took while living in Queenstown.

I got an Inca i3170, I think - it's really shitty; but it only cost me $30 and I needed one badly.

That portrait shot is really nice.
I really enjoyed playing with my father's minolta over Christmas - and using a film camera I thought a lot about each shot before pulling the trigger.
However, full-time Film would be prohibitively expensive for me; Digital has meant photography is accessible to me while trying to learn.
The best thing about film though is the finality of it, I can't develop film so it's really up to the people I take it to, once the shutter's clicked.

Sony glass is more expensive because they are less common. Was tempted to swap to a canon or nikon because the lenses are more common and cheaper. But I like my sony.

Perhaps try over-expose it by like 1/3 or maybe 2/3 of a stop. See if you can't pull a little more detail without killing the contrast.

There is a bit of noise on the hulls of the boats on a higher res version. Not a heap, but enough that I don't like it.

View across Otago Harbour from the hill above Harrington Point Road. Pukekura to the right, Aramoana in the centre and Port Chalmers off to the left there.
For some reason CS6 isn't liking the idea of merging 15 .cr2s, so I had to convert them to .jpeg (which meant I couldn't do a better job of reducing noise and preserving clarity - c'est la vie).

(or scribble some arrows on a copy?)
I'm guess it's because I didn't take the originals with a tripod so there's some distortion; but my eyes can't see it. / how to correct?

Tips on taking photos of fireworks? I always suck at it.Im no expert, well not yet maybe after this online course Im doing with 'The Photography Institute'
but I took most of those images on Sports mode so that the camera would take care of the most of the settings and I can enjoy the show.
Use a tripod with the focus on manul but if your playing with the exposure time don't try to take a to longer exposure as it just looks a mess, most of mine are around 1sec
and the key to a good fireworks shot is timing, watch it shot up into the air and start your image just before or as it goes BOOM
I also use a remote so that Im not shaking the camera.

that last image is it all natural light or have you lit up the pole?
and what ISO was it taken on?

too true ... there is another way to go about it ... and that is to "layer" exposures ie .. shoot the sky for good exposure .. then shoot the land ect then layer in Ps :)

Hah, I was wondering what was wrong with that picture (van looks shopped in to me too).
BTW, Pangolins are where it is at...
Post by: Tandoori on June 25, 2013, 08:24:34 pm
The van isn't shopped in (Unfortunately for the owner). Following the rain, lots of the roads around Canterbury are quite flooded, this picture was taken close to Lake Ellesmere.
I nearly got stuck because my little Mazda 323 isn't exactly 4WD.
Here's a picture, taken today, of the Hotel Ground Chancellor:

You should find a bunch of groups on flickr and add your images to them. It seems to be the best way to get people looking at them, if that's what you are after.

What have I done to make most of it look like I moved while taking the photo, however the middle of it is fine?
Post by: Emrico1 on October 12, 2013, 09:10:22 pm
Jk
Actually looks like a very shallow depth of field?
Do you have like a 50mm lens with like a ~1.8 f stop or is it some kind of fluke?

That or shot at 300mm or near ... will cause that at anything under F11ish

I have walked in to this same web about three times over the last week. Luckily all in the morning once the spider has gone away, still freaks me out.

Also had my first attempt at firework photography while I was down at Victor Harbour (pictured in my last post). Not fantastic but definitely some knowledge to use for next time. I bumped up the ISO a lot after my first few shots as I couldn't figure out what to do and just wanted to get some form of a shot. :P

Dead, what kind of settings are you using for a shot like that? (Maybe you've hidden EXIF data).
I've been struggling to find the right point, this shot had really high iso because I was trying to avoid the star trails, bit blurry though and I didn't have a tripod which made it difficult.
F/9 60secs 6400iso should I be bumping down the aperture so I can use a lower exposure/iso?

I do mine at f2.8, 30sec and about 400iso, then some exposure and contrast adjustment in lightroom. f9 is too dark, and 60 sec too long as you will end up with streaks of stars as the earth rotates.

Got in my first sunrise shot on the weekend, two exposures merged in PS with a mask etc.. this was shot on my 600D with my 18-55mm kit lens, forgot my tripod lolol.
Getting some new gear in the next couple of weeks so looking forward to shooting my next sunrise with even better gear! :D
CC and other comments welcome <3
IMO its too red. Like... cool and all, but too processed for me, looks like one of those funny HDR's. I think that's a bit personal preference though.
What new gears you getting?

Dead, what kind of settings are you using for a shot like that? (Maybe you've hidden EXIF data).
I've been struggling to find the right point, this shot had really high iso because I was trying to avoid the star trails, bit blurry though and I didn't have a tripod which made it difficult.
F/9 60secs 6400iso should I be bumping down the aperture so I can use a lower exposure/iso?
I do mine at f2.8, 30sec and about 400iso, then some exposure and contrast adjustment in lightroom. f9 is too dark, and 60 sec too long as you will end up with streaks of stars as the earth rotates.

Yeah I was trying to avoid the streaks, figured my aperture must have been a bit high. Would have to use my 50mm 1.8 to get a low aperture like yours. What time was that photo taken?
Post by: mycoolcar on January 30, 2014, 09:13:17 pm
I think photo was taken about 9pm, but it was in the middle of winter outside of Auckland (at Riverhead Forest) where there is less ambient light. It was also a pretty cool night, which helps with clarity.
Post by: deadmeatwalking on January 30, 2014, 09:19:33 pm
max exposure time = 1000 devided by focal length
So
10mm : 100 secs
20mm : 50 secs
50mm : 20 secs
100mm : 10 secs
300mm : 3.3 secs
.. you wanna keep your aperture as high as possible .. IE: 1.8 or F2.4 F2.8 F3.5 F4 ect ..
your best friend at night is wide angle as it will let more light in so if you have an 18-55 f4 ect .. but its good to experiment (the downside to using a wideangle such as a 10mm lens is that you will always get star movement towards the outside of your lens.
Lemme where your at in nz bro and i can always go out with you and give you some help or point you towards some friends around the country that are very proficient

Post by: 3viction on January 31, 2014, 01:29:23 am
The downside with using 50mm f1.8 is the fact you have to keep your shutter speed short to stop the star trails .. which in turn causes you to push your iso causing "noise" there is a formula for lenses and "size"
max exposure time = 1000 devided by focal length
So
10mm : 100 secs
20mm : 50 secs
50mm : 20 secs
100mm : 10 secs
300mm : 3.3 secs
.. you wanna keep your aperture as high as possible .. IE: 1.8 or F2.4 F2.8 F3.5 F4 ect ..

Awesome thanks for that, that's awesome! Wanna go out and try that now. I thought I read somewhere about having aperture around 8 or 9 but maybe that was for lighter times in the day. I'm down in Christchurch so a bit far from Auckland.
Looking at getting another lens I'm really keen on a wide angle or maybe something like the 15-85mm. Also was maybe thinking about a 18-200mm as a general lens when I can't swap them easily. I've got a 550d.

Looking at a 5D MK3 and ya regular 24-70 and 70-200 and a couple of flash units/stands and umbrellas etc etccccc'
might pick up a 5D MK2 if I can find one with not a massive amount of clicks on her.. most are like 75k+ :/
RE: photo, believe it or not that's how the sky was haha, I did bump up the clarity in the foreground exposure, however that's how red/orange the sky was haha was actually surreal standing there taking the photos as the sky wasn't moving, everything was still and it looked like crazy fireee! I tried cooling it down and messing with the white balance, but it just made it look bland.

How many shots and what did you use to PP it?
Post by: bigROBOTbill on February 06, 2014, 06:57:31 pm
About 16 shots on a small compact Canon G10, held vertical on manual exposure, a bit of overlap and then panoramad in Photoshop. Cropped and tidied, reduced the width to about 50 cm made a copy layer, and then added 10 cm of white to the the canvas at the bottom. Changed the image size to be square, you have to untick the 'constrain proportion' for that. Rotate the image vertically. Then the exciting bit, go to filter, distort, polar co-ordinates. Then you play with cutting out the circle, rotating it and giving it some backround

So it turns out a 30 sec exposure of the full moon makes it look pretty bright. 55mm, so the stars started to trail a bit too.
you could get away with 55 secs if your using a FF camera if not divide that figure by 1.6(canon) 1.5 (nikon and sony) for any cropped sensor camera
Sorry guys i should have put this in with the stuff i said before about lenses and stars

Itching to get my new gear >.<
Know that feel bro! and with getting new photography gear I must say it's the first time I've had gear envy for something and once I've got it it actually lived up to or exceeded expectations..
With new computer gear, games or fucking whatever I've always gotten hyped as hell and then once I acquired said thing.. It'd be a bit meh and I get underwhelmed almost immediately as if it didn't fill the empty void in my soul.
With my new photography gear I've had a fucking blast, found myself shooting way more and have gotten some pretty sweet gigs out of it already! on a goddamn buzz!
I can't wait to live vicariously through you and relive the new gear feels growlz <3

anything coloured in the background including leaves give nice background at this focus level, the in focus and out of focus is such small increments that it easy to get a nice background..
for example see this guys shots.... he takes approx 25 photos and then stitches them as each line of focus in each shot is about 1mm of focus..

this shot took 12 shots combined at .25 increments of lens movement each time just to get the head in focus and you can see the back of the body is still out of focus and you know how small a lady bug is.. he used a tripod and rail setup.

If you go be sure to wear shoes that you can walk through water in. There are glow worms inside which you would probably be able to pickup, I tried but ISO couldn't really push high enough even with long exposure.
Lots of stalactites and stalagmites.

Lining up for the first take off of the day......not the most riveting of subjects but there is always something special about the early morning sky.

A focus stack daisy (seems like Flickr is allowing bb code again)

The recipe...
Take one horse on a beach from Waiheke, Whale Island from Ohope Beach, the edge of a toadstool macro and sprinkler water droplets sideways, a bit of grunge and a good stir. Apply some overlay and a bit of blend, gently tweak till ready. Wait to cool, post on net!

probably been asked but what gear and lens ya using BRB?
Mostly with a 'nifty fifty' the cheap Canon 50mm 1:8 (about $150 brand new) and a reversing ring. It screws into the filter screw on the lens and allows you to mount the lens backwards. This allows you to focus real close, adding extension tubes gets you even closer. Depth of field is zero, it pays to cheat the f stop on the lens to get a bit more. You set camera to manual, select say f8, then while holding in the exposure preview button, remove the lens. It will stay at f8 for reversing.
You can hand hold, best with some fill flash, but tripod is really the way to go. Using Live View you can nail the focus. I have a small focusing stage that fits between camera and tripod, it allows me to gently move the camera to and fro for taking a series of shots at different focus points for stacking together in Photoshop to get a sharp blend of all of them.
End of rant! :)
Here's my camera on the focus rail with the lens reversed with extension rings, a remote trigger for my flash and my remote shutter release.

This is a simple flash reflector to throw light down close to the front of the lens

The Art lens is stunning, in build and quality, full metal, glorious to hold. And the 17-35... well it's not a gold ring lens cos it's crap, so so fast, quiet and such a such beautiful falloff, sharp through and through!
And the body, holy shit I was not expecting it to be such a dramatic change in quality. Built beautiful!
All up the kit is HEAVY and big, but I like that personally. Will just have to jackofflots to rebuild my forearm strength back up :D
I am heading to Tekapo this weekend so will be a great place to play with it and finger crossed for clear nights to see it's real class in low light.

In all honesty rather than going for a 60DA you would be better saving a few $$$ more and getting a 6D (same sensor as the 5DIII)

Are the AF points and cross focus points a big difference? I noticed there were no cross focus points and maybe 11 AF on the 6d. I guess anything would be an upgrade from the 550d

6D has really only been released under a year . waiting for that you might be holding your breath till your blue in teh face
7DII ... no go full frame with 6D unless you wanna shoot off 10 frames a sec
Are the AF points and cross focus points a big difference? I noticed there were no cross focus points and maybe 11 AF on the 6d. I guess anything would be an upgrade from the 550d
unless you are shooting sports as in rugby games ect you dont need 60 auto focus points just 1 bro just 1 ;)

Detail in the sensor is scary good. Here is something I spotted while driving and just popped off a couple of shot with my Simgma Art 24-105 F4. Full shoot the 100% crop.

My rebel t3 has been a good little camera, but it's unusable above ISO400 and 2.9 FPS is a bit of a drag.
I have a budget of $1500-2000. The options I am considering are:
- second hand 60D ~ $600
- 70D ~ $1200
- second hand 7D ~$750
- 7D MKII ?
I do a lot of street and landscape photography, so the 7D was a real contender - but the older sensor doesn't seem to be worth it given the lack of articulating screen of the 60 and 70d. And CF cards really seem a pain given I already have a collection of SD cards.Further, the 8FPs is much faster than the 70d's 7FPS. On the other hand the 7DMKII really seems to be specialised towards sports / wildlife photography and doesn't have wifi or touch screen [which seems quite stupid?].
I haven't done much video (given the 1100d only does 720p and no mic-in), but the articulating screens of the 60 and 70d really appeal. The 70d has twin-diode sensor which means continuous autofocus when in live view / video; that's a big appeal. The 20mp sensor and 19 x-type autofocus seems to be the deal.
The touch-screen, wifi and 7FPS is a knockout blow for the 60d I think (and worth the $600 premium although that's offset somewhat by also coming with a warranty).
So really the 70D is the best option I can see so far. The big question I'm trying to figure out is about timing. I can purchase the camera now (from a parallel importer for $1200) but the 7DMkII is due to drop mid-November. Do you guys think this will have any impact on (e.g. lower) the price of the 70D?

These are taken on my kitchen bench with a big clip holding the twig just so. lighting is just ambient window light, the first background is my lap top case, the orange one is a box of tissues on it's end way out of focus. 30mm manual extension tubes, 24-105 zoom. 10 slightly different focus points stacked in photoshop. tripod of course. I hadn't even seen the tiny snail till I had the photo stacked.
