[MENTION=138735]HARSHIL[/MENTION]...this is awesome work
I would say 1st one is the best ....3rd is great but that glass like effect on it is distracting

Thanks guys, didn't hoped it was this good. I later realized there was an empty spot on glass which I could have placed south on picture. Anyways, thanks

BTW the app I used for taking multi-exposure HDR shots is Camera FV-5.

These are powerful photography apps. If used properly the result will certainly be awesome.

Nice stuff... Wasn't there an episode of DigitalRevTV where they explored how to shoot this?

Seems like you did a better job

 

[Anorion]

[MENTION=117627]marvelousprashant[/MENTION] what did you do for the lighting?
is there a colour version?
Really like the lighting

 

[marvelousprashant]

Thanks [MENTION=125321]nac[/MENTION]

Thanks. For lightning I used flash in slave mode triggered by popup flash on camera
Color version didn't look good, mostly because of popup flash effect on back panel of laptop

Try centering the laptop and yourself horizontally in the frame and it will certainly look better. Or better yet, crop the picture slightly horizontally.

Yeah, camera FV-5 is really awesome. There is also one called "manual camera" for use with devices supporting lollipop's new camera API.

Yes. I came across the original one through that video only
Things I missed
1.) Wireless trigger
2.) Props like cold drink cans on table
3.) A laptop with matte screen - acts as a better diffuser for flash

Give open camera a shot [MENTION=140941]harshilsharma63[/MENTION]
