Project 7 - Light Photography
Hello guys this time the project is not bookish ....I want you to create designs, your names, colorful patterns using long exposure.
Tips -
1. longer the performance slower the shutter speed
2. write on a paper and check how to write in a mirror
3. you can have multiple friends making some other designs
4. i think its easier with a torch
i am putting this as an example...i will try for something better

exif - SS 8sec , aperture f4 ....and darkened using editing ....you can never get a dark pic at shutter speed 10s or 8 sec ...need ND filter for that.

Could you recognise what I was trying to write(PaYne my online gaming alias)...
So, after these, I tried my hand on designing...
View attachment 12145
For now these are my only successful tries.
Will try tomorrow.
Thanks bye
Edit : Please can anyone tell me which tag to use so that the pics are displayed in the post and not as link?

@dheeraj just open a flickr.com account ...upload the pics there...go below the pic...there is an option to share...select bbcode and size...and copy the code and paste here ...you are done
btw I still couldnt make out what you were writing....dont be in hurry...you can increase the time by lowring the shutter speed like 20sec or so...make what you want calmly

Yes, I understand that that it has to be done calmly and not in a hurry...I was just trying whether I could do it or not...
The main thing I realised here was to stop the light at the correct moment so that you don't leave a trail of light behind which can make it a look messy.
Will try it again today

Lets try getting bokeh. Start the project Sujoy.
Another idea for a future project can be on postprocessing. Making a normal click surreal, it won't exactly be very moral but should be a great learning experience

Project 8 - Bokeh
Although there is a huge confusion regarding bokeh...we will take bokeh as the ability to blur or create creamy background or out of focus area
A bokeh can be easily created by -
1. Select single focus point and focus on a certain subject...keep the subject away from background...and you will see objects in background blurred.
2. Use bigger aperture lenses like 50mm 1.8 and you will find the object kept even 3-4 inches behind of in front of focal plane will get blurred easily.
3. use macro lens ...due to the high magnification the object behind the focal plane becomes blurred easily even at f8
4. use zoom lens...put the object at minimum focal distance and focus at max zoom....the background will get blurrs
I will give you example with all these points
ok Soo I have some examples
1st I will show you how difeerent lens create bokeh when an object is just 5 inches from the subject

Bokeh close by sujoypackrasy, on Flickr
As I have said before...
example of 2nd point - I shot Tamron 17-50 at f4 from close and it nicely blurred the object behind
example of macro lens - you can see I shot the watch from very close but at around f5.6 or f8 but still due to close magnification it blurred off background subject as good as tamron did at f4
example of zoom lens - I used nikon 55-200 from around 2 feet at 200mm and it successfully blurred the object behind...but it didnt blur it that beautifully
now I shot some more when background is infinite

Nikon 55m micro by sujoypackrasy, on Flickr
Shot with nikon 55mm micro lens...you can see the background is soo smooth and proper...thats how u get those plain green background in macro shots...its no magic
*farm3.staticflickr.com/2857/10082457714_5a715710d5_z.jpg
Tamron 17-50 by sujoypackrasy, on Flickr
this is shot with tamron ...you can see the background is blurred but not smooth and bit harsh...thats how some lens produce harsh Bokeh...cant help ...this shot at f3.5
*farm3.staticflickr.com/2843/10082464394_f1d0b7f99b_z.jpg
Nikon 55-200 by sujoypackrasy, on Flickr
now lastly this is shot with nikon 55-200
you can see that it produces very nice bokeh...and background is nicely blurred...I just love this lens
People can also play with lights for example I shot this last year using diwali lights

That is an absolutely brilliant set of examples Sujoy. Working a bit on this, hopefully will have some shots worth posting
