Some nice work there, Tejas. BTW, what is the source of that human shadow in that shot of the boot? I tried finding someone standing on the boundary wall, but couldn't.

That was a great idea & photo. I'm guessing he took 2 images one with the guy & other with just his boots & then masked out the guy during post processing. Would be nice to hear from him.

yaah very innovative shot...its 2 shot for sure at the same place

A couple of fail attempts during the weekend.
I will need some light setup & something to place the camera on to pull this off. Needed to go to ISO 6400 to get decent exposure at shutter speed of 400.
Any suggestions ?

Camera - Canon S110

Yes i took 2 photos and merged them
the Real tough part was that i had no Tripod and also it was a self shot

Tejas, Nice clicks...

Gen, Are those from Canon or Sony?

 

[marvelousprashant]

Gen, use flash for lower ISO

Wow! You remember. Those are with the Canon.

Gen, use flash for lower ISO

I usually hate flash & like most times I forgot my camera has a flash. The next time I should try this with a flash. Thanks.

Wow, the bokeh . f1.8 ?

 

[a_medico]

^^^ F5.6 (Hope you were talking about my pics)

 

[pranav0091]

Yep, yours. F5.6?? Dear god, I need to recalibrate my senses

 

[a_medico]

Its probably because the significant distance between subject and the background.

 

[sujoyp]

@pranav even a 55-200 can produce that kind of bokeh at f5.6 ....

@medico nice portraits...liked both

@gen the problem in drop shots is
1. you need smaller aperture for everything in focus
2. you need faster shutter speed like 1/200
3. Due to above it becomes very dark soo you need flash

you dont have an option of external flash trigger else i would have suggested you that...I have done quit research on this before but failed coz all shows to trigger the flash from side using wireless trigger

 

[Gen.Libeb]

@medico - Both shots are great.
@sujoyp - Thanks for your comments.
I already had shutter speed of 1/400 with these shots but a tripod or something like that would had made it easier as the kitchen isn't convenient or well lit to do these shots, and then smaller aperture = even less light. I tried this again yesterday with the in-camera flash but the light was pretty weird and it turned out even more fail.

Back to familiar subjects. Got this yesterday.
Please comment / critique.

[sujoyp]

flash from the front is total useless....you have to use light from side or top..
yaah 1/400 is good but I said 1/200 coz in DSLR flash sync dont work above 1/250

You can try it in sunlight...It works well like that...just for example

your above shot is superb...very nice

 

[nac]

Medico, Wonderful bokeh...

Gen,
Canon???

Just that I am expecting more from your Canon. What's the ISO setting in your last photograph (landscape)???

 

[Gen.Libeb]

@sujoyp That water drop shot, did you take that ? Its really good.

Gen,

Yeah, Canon for this. ISO 100, F/8, 1/1250sec. Is it a little noisy ?

 

[sujoyp]

yes I took that...I have some more...like the one you tried

Yeah

@sujoy: really nice pics. Maybe you should just try a hand at doing this with colored lighting...
