Photo of the Day : January 2011


Road to Navadwip by JeevesofRKdia, on Flickr
(1/800)
f/6.3
55 mm

Barreling down the road to a small village near the bigger city of Calcutta (now Kolkata). I just got back from my month-long trip to India and this was one of the first shots I took with my brand-new T2i. If you might remember, I was asking around for some gear help. Everything I bought came into great use, so thanks for all your help!
I'll post more pics over the course of the next week or so and a compilation thread if people would like.

Great Photo,

I have seen a few photo's with this kind of look, how do you achieve it?

I believe using aperture of f16 or 22 will get the star burst effect of the light. Obviously with such a small aperture you will need a tripod because the exposure time will be longer.
 
It's been a while since I've had anything to post here. I finally got out on Saturday to really try out my new gear.

This is my first attempt at a long (relatively speaking) exposure of a waterfall. A ND filter would have really come in handy with all of the bright snow.



f/36; 4 sec; ISO 100; 55mm
 


90mm, f/11 (or so), 1/some time under a second. I need to take notes on this stuff.

One of my photos from my first batch of black and white 4x5 film. This was taken on a sunny day in November overlooking the tiny town of Cayucos, CA (just north of San Luis Obispo).

I meant the steely/blue colouring. Is it a filter or an effect, or just due to shooting at that time of night?
 
The weather is grey. The snow is melting rapidly. I'm not motivated to get out to find something to photograph. That means it is time to pull out the whitebox (you would laugh if you saw my setup).

These are some dollhouse furniture pieces my grandfather made. I inherited them after he died. He was a carpenter as a profession, and when he retired he started making small stuff. I wish I had appreciated it as much then as I do now. The deer and sled from a few days ago were also of his creation.

Kokopelli "Sun Moon" sculpture with a rising near full moon over it, so grabbed the camera and took this shot tonight in my front yard.

I like that a lot! Care to share how to achieved that shot? I tried but I can't get the sun rays to pop out :( Mine are very faint. :(

Here is mine for today. Kind of funny. hah.

I've been swept away by a busy period, but I'm glad I had a peep at PotD just now. The light in this photo is wonderful! The spotlit sailboat against the dark cliff behind it is really perfect. A luckier moment might have had the sailboat pointing in the opposite direction (into the frame), but it works beautifully as it is. Really well seen, TheReef!
