Photography IX

[5300cs]

Fooling around with the S1 and came up with this. No post-processing, just resizing :) (sorry, I still hate post-processing, unless I really have to. I'll keep taking the same shot until I like the way it comes out.)

rrrr, sorry about those two little hairs under the left pen. Guess I really WILL have to Photoshop 'em :mad:

so why do you choose digital photography is you hate post processing? you're not one of those people that use the media cards to print their photos are you???

why not just use a polaroid? ;)

No, not at all. I just like to try and take pictures that are perfect right out of the camera. I'm also lazy as all get-out and don't want to spend time tweaking things. If I can take 4-5 pics and get one that comes out just right, or take 1 and spend 30 minutes futzing around with it, I'll take the former any day.

I don't know enough girls to justify getting a Polaroid. That IS what they're for, right??

That pen photo is looking sweet. You normally don't need 30 minutes of Post in photoshop... I generally can get by on adjusting colors slightly... maybe do some levels adjustments and hit the color casts. Takes about a minute per image. That and a little unsharp mask to sharpen it up.

Your pen looks really good though, very professional and clean. You should get used to playing just a tiny bit in PS. It can actually be fun. Though I feel you on "getting it right" in camera...

I made it into the Fred Miranda Finalists. Check out the entries this week and give a vote. You do have to be registered though...but it's a nice compliment to our photo threads. (http://www.fredmiranda.com/forum/viewtopic.php?TopicID=74948)

This is the Image i'm in the finals with:

Thanks MoxieMike, though I don't know if it look pro or not.

Here's a shot of my watch, had a little fun with PS. Have to admit it looks nicer now :) ;)

p.s. Love the church shot, very nice light/dark contrast. I'm too scard to post on FM yet myself.

nice. both this and the pen shot are nice. get used to post-edit and your shots will be professional. you have a good eye... don't be afraid to push yourself even more. <just noticing you've posted more shots> there you go! very cool.

MoxieMike - congrats on making the finals.

Man. I did this white and light blue metallic print job on a rough texture blue paper. Never....ever...again.

Blech

White ink was not an easy thing to work with...

No, I meant that Kinko's has really expensive printers...like the cost of the equipment :) Also, emailing 2 MB files over dialup might be slower than driving and cost more time that it's worth in money :D But I'll look into it...

Nice job Mike! I finally know what it's like to be a finalist in the WA....I got in a few weeks ago...it's awesome, though I have a feeling you've been there way more than I! Well maybe I'll post some pics here in a minute since I'm on broadband and I can't leave yet cause it's raining....just got photographed for the newspaper :D so I stayed after I had to...

[zync]

Here goes...firstly if you have a newer PB with a native res of 1280x854 you can download desktops I've been making for my site...if you want them get them now 'cause they're not all going to be there long!

Anyway, here's an image (and BTW counterfit I liked your long exposure and the edge of the balcony!) :D

The inspiration for the second gen of desktops in really low quality!

[zync]

BTW does anyone know how to turn smooth scrolling off of Safari? It's soooo slow to speed up....I want it to remain constant...when using an external mouse I had to speed up the scroll wheel which obviously makes using it in other apps difficult!

Anyway some stuff from around the house...

[zync]

http://www.theforce.net/theater/shortfilms/troops/ Check that out it's pretty funny! At least the part I've seen :D

This is from the Gasparilla Night Parade...it's hard to believe that no one knows about it anywhere else since it's a huge event here but anyway if you've heard of Ybor this is the infamous party that happens every year...there are three parades:

children's parade (people take children, drunk: minimal)
day parade (everyone goes, drunk:medium-high)
night parade (a whole lot of people go, drunk:so high that you just need to be there to get drunk!)

This was one of the floats...we think that's a hot air baloon "engine"....it was a new idea for this year methinks...argh it was 104k....if the quality is low, sorry, didn't feel like finding and shrinking the original again (the rain is now a drizzle and I'm ready to leave...actually it's a Tampa drizzle which is just plain rain everywhere else...)...

[zync]

Stupid forum! It said it went through and it was at the thanks for posting message and then poof my airport connection dies (though it already confirmed my post) and I move my file to the trash since it accepted and now I get back to my post and the image isn't there? WTF!?

Let's try this again! Maybe it reset after I tried the last time and it didn't fit, though it's never done that before....

[zync]

Yeah, it looked crappy but what're you gonna do?

Anyway there were 2-3 people breakdancing in Centro [Ybor] and I got a shot off while the guy was spinning on his hand...he did some really cool handstands where he bent really far back with his legs, getting them about a foot or two off the ground....really cool...I could do it with practice if my wrist weren't still messed up!

[zync]

OK that time I just plain forgot....:(

[zync]

OK WTF is going on here? I'm getting so pissed! I had it set on the last one but it was within that 30 second limit...I guess I got the answer to that question...now it clears my former request to UL when I hit back...wonder if it would do it if I just hit delete? sometimes that has a slightly different effect than clicking back....oh well...last post for a while, I swear!

[5300cs]

Nice pics :) :)

BTW, smooth scrolling is in System Prefs, under Appearance

so is there supposed to be white in that pantone palette? all i see is the registration spot... ;)

Moxie -printing with white is a pain unless your only printing white on a dark satin. most usually use a nice semi-hue spot though. white is so boring... ;)

I like your desktops. I might use them on my wife's Al15". It's funny I just got a new monitor today. A Lacie electronblue IV 19". I'm still getting use to it for one I'm running at 1600x1200 and those desktops seem so small on it. Hehehehe

I went in system prefs before but I only glanced at it's main window and forgot all about appearance :) I was looking under the keyboard/mouse menu....that's where I fig'd it would be....thanks! it's a good bit less annoying now!

MacBandit, yeah I really wish my powerbook had a larger native resolution....oh well....don't worry, when I actually get to it, I'm going to make desktops for most common sizes, like 1600x1200, 1280x960 (and 1280x854 obviously), and 1024x768....probably skip the 800x600 and under crowd though....I'm glad you enjoy them...I'll let you know when I get around to making some at that resolution....which ones did you like better? The ones with the plant were easy to make but the other ones will be pretty hard to redo at a larger resolution...still have the .psd's methinks so it wouldn't be TOO hard :D

My favorite ones are of the river. The plant is a close second and I don't like the collage of the woman at all. I'm not fond of collages. If I'm going to have a portrait of someone on my desktop I like it to be clean with some gradients and maybe a some lightning/tearing effects thrown in to jazz it up and the person on one side kind of as a border on the screen.

The woman was on there briefly...it annoyed my girlfriend methinks :D....I had considered making it more like you said as I don't really like collages either but they were web images and thus too small (right now I wish I had an undo function as this accidentlt got erased once :))....the first river one is somewhat of a collage too, actually....the .psd file contains many of the images I've shown here :) I was hoping you'd like the river ones as they would be easier to remake, although it still won't be anything exactly like the original only a different size...it'll be fairly different...

I got my first taste of all day photo last Friday, as I pulled off 6 shoots for the magazine. :eek: :D

While not all that artsy, I found this one to be one of the better shots I grabbed. It's for a fashion article, and this was designed by an internationally reknowned designer who lives here in New Orleans. He actually had some designs prepared for the Oscars last night. ;)

[zync]

Well, I have to say they look much nicer, except for these damn thumbnail views! :mad: When I read that on the front page I knew it meant trouble....I've been saving each of our pages as a pdf for archive and now this makes it somewhat difficult to view in a pdf :) I guess I'll have to check the cp for options to remove it...hopefully they allow viewing like the older forums :(

idkew, great textures man!
moxie, you totally nailed those shots! love the diner sign!
idkew, I like the way your signature effect pulled off the picture with the leaf! awesome image!

i couldn't find an option for not viewing thumbs first. but, to get around it, all we have to do is use the image tag and host the image elsewhere. only attachments are turned into thumbs. my guess is that arn wants to save some bandwidth.

we had a bright and sunny thunderstorm here today in chicago. i ran outside, as this was the first of the season, and it makes me happy. the light allowed me to easily stop the rain with my digicam. i love thunderstorms. i love it when my house shakes....

i also love digital photography. if it wasn't for site updates, these would have been up 30 minutes after pressing the shutter.

::grumbles::stupid highlight, stupid no undo typing in edit menu...
I concur! I especially like the one of the drops hitting the wood and leaving circles....so you guys just got your first storm? Ha! we just finished a week of storms...it still pretty overcatse during the day, I'll post shots of it tomorrow...tonight the only holes in the sky looked like aerial views of a hurricane! It was clear enough the other day for us to see Jupiter and it's moons through my friend's dad's telescope....funny thing that other day....we dressed a Jedi for our friend's birthday and took him horseback riding and I lost my damn glasses...and I likd them too!...anyway I accidently gave away that we were going to a casino later in the night by saying maybe I'll win my money back for the glasses....sure enough after loosing about 18 dollars in the slots I got 900 credits @ 25cents per credit = $225.....so I was pretty happy! I so almost didn't keep playing after I had $4.93 left of a twenty....my original limit was $10 but the night was young, it was the only bill I had, I figured I'd only be there once in a long while, and I didn't want to be bored sitting around doing nothing so we tried random machines...the light on my winning machine was flashing and a bell was ringing and I was shaking the hell out of my friend! I didn't even notice 900 credits, I just kept watching the money go up and up and up! I thought it's stop at like 30 or 50...boy was I wrong! I had my camera in my pocket and didn't think to take a picture of the event but I have a picture of the machine which I'll also try to post tomorrow...got to think if I had only bet the max :) (it was 1.25 already...well 25cents with a minum bet of 5 credits...)

[5300cs]

Well, I'm down at Sea ISland, Georgia this week doing some work, but yesterday I got a chance to go up to Savannah and visit the Gryphon Tea Room with a friend. Here's a few shots.

By the way, if you ever get the chance, go have tea there.. its one of my favorite places in the world.

This is an ad I shot and designed for Chicago Scene Magazine. Ran 2 or 3 months with a circulation of 25,000 per month.


Nice shooting. Did u rely on natural lighting?

Nice shooting. Did u rely on natural lighting?

yeah, i just used my good old S45 Compact. Prolly looked unprofessional, but it came out well. The shadows on the b&w one are great, i had the guy stand in the shade of a tree. i feel like i gave him hair in each pict.

there was more contrast in the printed version. you could actually read the text on the right.

I think they look fine. ;)

As for lighting, I sooo much prefer to have it natural if possible. There's been too many cases where I used the natural lighting and got much favorable results than I could have otherwise.

Here's a shot I took earlier. It's a sticker on the back of our lime green dryer that's older than me :eek: .

It's my school laptop, and for a Windows PC it's pretty good (but no OS X).

http://People-at-Lake.jpg

I've enjoyed many of the posted photos and wanted to show something I've been enjoying recently--applying color to some very old ancestal photos. There is everything from fairly recent snap shots to cardboard mounted 4x4 b&w photos, tintypes, and a few emulsions on glass plates. This "people at lake" is one of my favorite scans, tinted (slowly) in Photoshop Elements 2.
I hope this departure from showing strictly your photos is enjoyed and maybe someone else is interested in this technique.

[neut]

nice to see you posting again Wardofsky.

cool technique Jdar... interesting color choices.

excellent shots everyone.

So I gotta jump into it here a little.

I recently purchased a new lens for my camera rig, Nikon 60mm f2.8 macro. This thing is pretty damned sharp, and FAST I tell u.

Anyway, here's a few samples from it.

What camera is your Nikon 60 mm macro attached to? Nice shot and just the right depth of field; how so sculptors do the eyes that well complete with little peripheral iris ring.

You aren't going into any graveyards in N.O. are you? <g>

[idkew]

nice shots neut, jdar and Wardofsky. Its great seeing all these new shots after two days.

neut- i got the 17". my Ti is crashing multiple times a day now. I might end up being without a computer for 15 days, or three weeks because Apple wants to take it's time. That will be really sad. Really.

Oh- attached is the help menu in Mail.app

Well the camera is a D100, but I don't have the lens anymore. I returned it & replaced it with a Sigma 50mm f2.8 macro. The Sigma is just as sharp & fast, shorter, and $200 cheaper. :D

Thanks for the comments though. I actually do frequent cemeteries often. I'll be posting some shots from this weekend in a few. ;)

[eyelikeart]

So I got some personal time with my camera this weekend. This year I've done nearly all work related photography, and haven't spent much time for myself.

I did a little city playing yesterday, and some cemetery today. :D

Here's from yesterday. I'll post today's later.

oh- forgot to mention i was doing the trade in thing.

i have to buy new, and only stock. apple will not allow financing also. but, at $2,200, i am not complaining too heartily. i will add as money becomes available. (1GB stick for sure) It will be a nice upgrade.

i am excited though. not how/when i wanted to buy a new laptop, but this 17" is pretty nice. the only thing i do not love about her is the moto in her.

[idkew]

eye- nice shots in the cemetery. i think those are great, if a little morbid, places to shoot. all deasd are buried above ground down there arn't they? i ventured into a graveyard which was a small walled square with the walls filled with graves, and then large sepulchers (sp?) in the center. someone was visiting at the time, and i felt too weird shooting.

bousozoku- great flight shots. it is amazing how even the common pigeon looks magnificent when they use their gift of flight. were the gulls fighting?

Thanks. I honestly love shooting in cemeteries though. I have my favorites, and I make it a point to venture into them whenever I can. I do it as a sort of way to refresh myself when I feel uninspired or just need to get back to my "roots," perse.

To answer your question, yes the dead are buried above ground here in New Orleans. This practice was started years ago before our drainage systems were in place, as our below sea level elevation caused bodies to resurface & float away during rain floods.

The people don't bother me really, it's a very common thing to see a photographer perusing a cemetery. ;)

They were both looking for food. The place behind us was selling fish and chips and the person on the next bench decided to feed them. Everyone wanted some. :D

The dynamics are just right! It's so hard to catch that moment.

[neut]

eye - i can really feel you behind the camera in your personal shots. excellent composition, colorn and selected DOF. very nice.

bousozoku - nice dynamic capture. birds are wonderful models if you know how to shoot them. obviously you do.

idkew - good deal on the 17. don't worry 'bout the moto. she'll do ya' good. 1.33 right? more than enough. :D

no shots from me today... unless it gets slow around here; then, i might have to browse through iPhoto.


peace.

[JDar]

Okay.. finally I have put some images on the web...

Here they are;



Wardofsky,

there is almost a complete pastel color palette in the leaves--very subtle and I'm sure was difficult to expose correctly to capture it. That is not only pleasant to see but also worth saving to be able to harvest colors with the eyedropper tool!

It looks like Aerospatiael helicopters has made it everywhere. I know they have a big Australian/Antartic division. Do you look up every time you hear something flying? I do about 100% of the time.

[bousozoku]

Okay, buoyed by some thankfully positive comments, I'm going to post something else.

About four weeks ago, Floriduh was holding district wrestling championships all over the state. I've been traveling with the Oviedo H.S. team (black and orange), who eventually one the 3A state title.

Mind you, this is from the older digital camera which didn't have the sharpness but was perfectly adequate for being 4 years old.

i did some concepts for a wrestling website a while ago... though i find wrestling a bit weird. i had to try not to give it that 'homo-erotic' feel. the guy on guy action positions are hard to design with. if it doesn't look angry or it just looks gay; or maybe it's just me. ?

what kind of camera? my trusty 505v is still holding up great!

I have avoided shooting certain moves. I believe that the wrestler's dignity comes first. Until that shot, the wrestler in the gold singlet had never seen a photo of himself where his butt wasn't the predominant image. Too many of the photographers I've seen know how to shoot well, but they don't know wrestling at all and it leads to some unfortunate and embarrassing shots that the wrestlers don't want to remember.

My old digital was an Olympus C-2500L, 2.5 MP, 3x zoom for $1800 although I got it at Best Buy in 2000 (imagine that!) for an open box price of $850 nine months after its release. My new camera is an Olympus E-1, which was $1800 for the body only.

I shot most of those with my Sigma 50mm. I'm extremely pleased with that lens. :D

[Sparky's]

Wow I'm sorry I didn't see this Forum earlier. I wish I had more of my good stuff scanned in but I only just recently got my Umax Powerlook III scanner. Most of my stuff I shoot with a Bronica 2 1/4 kit c. 1975 and my really intense black and white stuff I reserve for my 4 x 5 field camera. These first 2 I shot with the comapny's Olympus Digital (2.1 mp) so I could mark the spot and return to shot it properly. The 3rd shot is one I took in Yosemite in 1980. Enjoy
I'll be chcking these out more from now on. Great stuff!! guys (and gals)

I left Savannah on Saturday, headed for southern California. On the flight over we decided to stop near flagstaff for lunch and take some aerial photos of the barringer crater. This was one of my better... though it has been color corrected in photoshop.

http://www.barringercrater.com/

As I type this I'm sitting in a hotel in Riverside... not a bad town. I saw a drunk guy fall of a sidewalk yesterday in San Bernardino... :)

[eyelikeart]

can't remember what camera you're shooting with... what's the lens factor on that thing? the 10D is something like 1.6

It's 1.5x, which can pose problems at times, but isn't too bad. I'm hoping, that whenever chips & dslr systems are finally evened out to their 35mm counterparts, that I'll have made the right decisions in my lens choices. My next purchase is going to be a Sigma 12-24mm super wide. :D

[bousozoku]

Does anyone think that this could be better balanced? I think that all the green certainly highlights the flower's colour but it doesn't feel quite right.

[JDar]

[QUOTE=cr2sh ... aerial photos of the barringer crater. [/QUOTE]

Nice photo of that crater and an interesting web site about it. West of El Paso there is a large sink hole called Kilburn Hole, formed from collapse of a gas bubble. It's not quite as large as Barringer. Years ago cattle rustlers would drive cattle down into it, disappearing from sight until it was safe to come out. Now it's a great place for rattlesnakes. Check it out on your way back--it's right under the airway west of ELP.

[JDar]

Does anyone think that this could be better balanced? I think that all the green certainly highlights the flower's colour but it doesn't feel quite right.

The color looks natural to me. I'd vote for cropping rather than color balancing, if anything.

[bousozoku]

Thanks also for your comment on the birds photo. They were much more interesting to shoot.

yeah, isn't that fun... i'm glad i have this DSLR at work; i couldn't spend that much on one let alone lenses for the damn thing. this weekend i'll be shooting some family portraits with it; i hope the weather's nice. :( i don't really feel like studio shooting.

And this is part of the image at 100%
http://homepage.mac.com/g4scott/macrumors/keyboardclose.jpg

Only a small part of the image was in focus, because of the small depth of field, and the fact that I was just messing around, but maybe I'll get to work with that camera/lens combo some more this week...

Yesterday, it was raining outside, but I took advantage of the times it wasn't, and came up with these shots, a-la photoshop. Enjoy!


Nice work with the raindrops in color. ;)

i think that's a very strong technique to use... the red coated girl in the black and white schindler's list was strong. i guess it can easily be overdone... but if done right, can be awesome. and looks pretty sweet also.

I did an art project my Senior year in high school using this technique. I should have a shot of it, but it's basically a black & white image of James Dean & Marilyn Monroe with a color rose.

It certainly adds a level of heirarchy to an piece of work. ;)

how did u do the raindrop color effect

If you're talking about mine, I got the original picture, extracted the grayscale picture by showing the separate red, green, and blue channels, and picking which one best fits my needs. I copied the grayscale layer, pasted it on top of my color image, and adjusted the curves to get the desired effect. I then took an eraser, and erased on the grayscale image where I wanted the color to be. Nothing too complex.

[idkew]

mike, you reminded me of this.


i find statues a fun subject to shoot, probably since they can hold a pose so well. :)

That is actually way more complex than it had to be! All you had to do was duplicate the layer then Desaturate/Channel Mix the top layer and erase. I'm not even sure how you did what you did. Did you copy one of the channels to the layer palette? That's what it seems like you did....Channel Mixer would have been more effective but still the pic was pretty cool...

I'm not too familiar with photoshop, but I did what I could with what I knew. Now that I think about it, what you said does make sense... Using photoshop is still a learning experience for me, especially since I just got Photoshop CS. I love it's RAW image stuff, though, because it beats the heck out of the Canon software...

Don't worry about it...I just thought that would seem a more likely way to do it....that's the wonderful thing about Photoshop! You can something many different ways! Some ways offer more control (my method here would involve more control if you used Channel Mixer) some offer faster product, while some ways are just easier for some people to do or understand. The coolest thing is that each person optimizes themselves for Photoshop, and each person's way is the correct way for them! I know I can shut up now 'cause I'm sure you're catching my drift!

they are photos bought from photographers to be resold in large royalty free media formats (CD/DVD/web). most ads you see contain stock photos. now days everything is stock (video, backgrounds, web-site templates, etc.). sell your own or sell your soul. ;)

It's a gradual thing but because of the atmospheric disturbance the shuttle itself is causing, gradual is somewhat more accelerated than you might think normally. Combine the disturbance with the flight path and the normal winds and the trail does tricks. :) It's completely gone in a few more minutes and so are all the people on my street who were watching.

Capt Underpants:

Whether over-exposed by choice or by accident, the flowers shot looks fine. It's a bit like some effects designers' dream sequences. You could probably do a whole series of them and make some money. :)

Thanks for the compliment! Ya.. I have the cloth ready for when I catch that light again. If I had any photoshop skills (or photoshop, for that matter) I would try to fix the dust. :( I should've noticed it when I was first taking the photo, but the light was here and gone in 5 minutes. Im glad I got the shot that I did, though. I actually have some shots with the dust gone, but they don't have the same effect as that one.

G'day peoples, just got back from an 8 day camp in the country with a lot of sailing and kayaking.

I took a little disposable camera with me so I'll get the film out soon, it was really fun to shoot on something so simple when compared to using a full on DSLR, I have to say everyone should buy a disp' camera and take some shots, we could have a little comp.

I decided to keep the camera and just take the film out, so I snapped open the case, took out the film and modified so that you push a little wire and the flash will go off.

[cr2sh]

I have to say everyone should buy a disp' camera and take some shots, we could have a little comp.


I think that's a really good idea, we each buy 1 disposable camera.. take shots and have them developed or do it ourselves. See who can get the best results with the cheap gear... :)

Anyone interested in seeing some shots I took of my eggs as they are being hard boiled? Actually came out kinda cool. Good way to spend the downtime of food being made. :)


oh- I am in on the disposable. BUT- i think we need to define the camera better. I have used expensive and inexpensive disposable cameras, there is a large difference between the two.

I'd probably prefer fuji, but this doesn't really matter all that much, so whatever....

I don't mind the Kodak Funsaver 35, but whatever....you guys decide :) I need some sleep, it's 4:14 AM here...but hey, I've only been up since 5:23 PM :(

Disposables? They're too good. :D

I'd like to see how you all do with one of these:

http://members.aol.com/Chuck02178/27.htm

I started photography on a camera like the one on the left. It uses 620 black and white roll film and produces 2.25 inch prints--I think the negative is 2 inches. I suppose it's not too bad if you've dealt with a medium format camera but the viewfinder gives you the image at the top of the camera and the image is upside down.

Needless to say, I don't use it anymore.

[neut]

neut, your shots are still amazing, I love 'em...<snip> have to say everyone should buy a disp' camera and take some shots, we could have a little comp.
