Photo of the day: September 2011

Experimenting With Macro

They didn't turn out too badly considering I Shot them with an Everio HD camcorder.

Bought a reverse ring for my 14-140 panasonic lens - good for ultra macro photography... here are my first few shots. Nothing too special, need to do some outdoor shots during the daylight to experiment more.

From the very first message in this thread:

*One Photo per Day - Don't post more than one photo each day.​
 
Cheers guys. I didnt use an ND filter. One thing that I was really worried about, and you can see evidence of it in the pic is that the bridge was shaking a lot because of the traffic. I thought the opera house would have been a lot more blurry.

Cheers, actually I put the white balance off to give it the blue tint. Good weekend to be in Sydney, fantastic weather.

I know what you're talking about. In this timelapse I did, Vancovuer Timelapse 2011, I was on a bridge and could feel the rough rumble. It came out in the video too in the 2nd scene. The shake was really bad when big vehicles drove by.

Your image reminds me that photographers who don't want their work used without authorization should listen to episode 219 of 'This Week in Photography' about registering your copyrighted images. This discussion was originally in episode 217, but it looks like they gave it a separate episode also. I often enjoy this podcast.

Time lapse with an ipod touch, very good. These things take a lot of patience, dont they?

I might look into protecting my pics. Not really given it any thought but only learned how to use a camera in May. Maybe thats the next step. Cheers

Thanks... It's the Lake District, in the North-West of England, reckoned by most people (?) to be the most beautiful part of the country (though I actually prefer the Yorkshire Dales). The 'Lakes' and 'Dales' are two of our national parks...

A bit of abstraction...

I like this. I'm a fan of abstract photography. Is there a story behind this image?

Mt. Rainier area. That paper collage effect thing.

I like this too. The tones kind of flow. Nice lines. Very serene.

Yep, patience is needed. I'm new to this like you are to photography. :D

Time lapses take a lot of time for very little playback time. Say you set the frame capture interval to 3 seconds. To get a second of video will take a minute and a half for a 30fps video result. I often try to get at least 10 seconds of playback time so I have some choice of pickings, when I like the result and use it.

Yeah I experimented a few times with time lapse. I love seeing the end product but can really be painful to wait for when doing it all on a macbook air.
