Makes sense, will give the bokeh another go. BTW I finally discovered why my shots were so noisy. Apparently the camera does no noise reduction while shooting in RAW, I normally shoot using jpeg, so even at high ISO the noise is not too much. But most of the shots posted here were shot in RAW and mujhe laga ki mere camera ki tauheen hogi noise reduction lagana .... so :(

Nice work Arian and Amlan.

Amlan do you have a zoom lens? if yes then its soo easy ....keep in mind the minimum focus distance at its highest focal length...like 300mm @ 2 meters ...and keep the subject at a place where background is at least 10-15 meters behind...and bingo u will get a creamy full green background :smile:
Yes, it gives a nice bokeh. Even I wondered when I saw the result (from my compact) when I tried...

How are these attempts at HDR ?

these are absolutely brilliant faun. I guess the second one is a bit soft (blurred/hazy) but I guess that is a byproduct of the HDR process

@izziko

yeah, i do feel the need to process second one differently.

@pranav

Spot on ! Second pic is of the interior of green dragon, hobbiton.

@faun - Stunning images. You have come a long way.

@arian - I don't know much about product photography, but I think shadows should have been gotten rid of.

I see that HDR is a good way to bring out details.

briiliant shots Faun, the fish shot is amazing considering that it would've kept moving making it difficult to get the shots needed for an HDR. Are you processing these in Photomatix?

Faun, Nice work :doublethumb:

Not enough light in fish photographs...
I love the 4th one. I would like to see that starry sun occupies little more space in the image. Where is this place... wonderful... :)

Yeah, Photomatix.


sorry to say but other then two fish other shots looks like computer generated images ....
All are computer generated :) Agree that it does look like that.

Nice work faun. Very surreal HDR. Reminds me of scenes from lord of the rings movie

Just saw pranav's comment after seeing this :p :D

The last three pics are from Hobbiton (from Lord of the Rings movie). It's in New Zealand, Matamata area.


Few more I processed yesterday, if only I had tripod to stabilize these would have been much better:

Not all are HDR. Basically shooting in RAW gives much more freedom to modify image.
