The Photography Thread

[coolchop]

Hi peeps, please have a look at my photography stint. The photo in coin has been taken through my Sony Ericsson K790i, and rest of them has been taken by my new treasure "Canon Powershot SX 120 IS" that I have purchased after going through this thread.

Please comment.

@krow: excellent shot the second one.

@coolChop: Second one is very nice and I liked the third one also. But the forth image of Mouse has some white balancing problems I think.

Stuge: Wonderful. You make this ordinary looking shot a great SLR quality shot. You are pro in every sense. Thanks for correcting the shot and providing the steps involved.

@krow - I liked the second image.

@toofan & @stuge - Good shots. Your PP skills are really commendable. Does any of you use GIMP? I don't want to learn PS since I mostly like to work under Linux.

This is what I did yesterday in the afternoon. The dark climate outside made it possible for me to try this out without the need of even shielding the windows to block the light. I used 5 secs shutter & 10 secs timer & then used my mobile phone to make the letters. I had set my mobile theme to skyblue & it looked great. All the letters were taken separately & joined later to make the above image. Commenst please.

@krow - I liked the second image.

Thanks.

@krow: excellent shot the second one.

Thanks again.

@coolchop, try removing the datestamp. I liked the peacock and the silver showpiece.

[Cool G5]

@max - Looks nice but would have been better if you would have been able to remove those blue hues from the glass.

@krow - I liked the second one.

I haven't shot that image. That image is shot by a new Nikon D90 user. That much clarity is not possible by my camera.

@Cool: Again comming up with something new. Nice work. Can you explain this again in a much simple way.

@Krow: Nice rose.

@max_demon: how you did that. please post the step to step procedure if you can.

 

[Cool G5]

@Toofan - Thanks buddy. Sure I'll explain it thoroughly but you'll need to wait for a while. I'll write a blog post on the same in 2-3 days & then will post the link here.

Thanks krow.
I liked the first one coz in the second one the stream has been cropped.

One more macro shot:

[Cool G5]

Nice giga but please resize the image down. Keep 800 pixels as maximum width. It would have been more better if the image would tell me something. The current image is nothing more than a macro. Invert the card on your finger & then let the viewer see those shiny golden contacts of the card. You got giga? Let your pictures do some talking.

 

[Gigacore]

yes yes

@coolG5: great lightpainting! how long was the shutter open? and which cam? how many attempts before you got it?

@Krow: the second rose is really great, nothing distracting in the background

Posting some of my Panos. Didnt know the automerge feature for most of em. Cyberjunkie told me about it, works great mostly because you cant make out mismatches in sky and foliage. However, the wires got tripped in one image. BTW, I had to resize the images heavily. Does anyone know a photosharing site that lets you upload large and heavy images in odd dimensions? Or one meant specifically for sharing panos?
