kja Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Nice photos everyone! Things are crazy here and I'm not exactly sure why - feels like I don't have a lot to do, but I'm not getting everything done! LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vickie Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Great shots! Luke I love your glasses with the shadows, colours & textures, they are really cool. Love the little chair too . Tadpole, your food colouring is really cool too. I had a play with that last year, was great fun, very messy, but great fun. I have been slack, I guess this could be my toy entry...since I happened to take it today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clicking Mad Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 (edited) lukegsp: I really like the colours and shadows in your glass pics very nice pic vickie ... as always ... and without even trying ha! I like the way the water drops come off in tentacles at the end of the toy I like this pic, except for the corner of the window in the top left - no longer have any editing program to get rid of it Canon EOS 400D DIGITAL Focal Length: 21.0mm Exposure Time: 0.300 s (1/3) Aperture: f/7.1 ISO Equiv.: 100 my obsession with bubbles continues ... Canon EOS 400D DIGITAL Focal Length: 25.0mm Exposure Time: 0.067 s (1/15) Aperture: f/9.0 ISO Equiv.: 100 and to go OT a sec: I am loving my new computer, I actually took this pic less than an hour ago unheard of Canon EOS 400D DIGITAL Focal Length: 24.0mm Exposure Time: 0.050 s (1/20) Aperture: f/9.0 ISO Equiv.: 200 Edited October 2, 2008 by Clicking Mad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashanali Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 tadpole... I was going to play around with an idea similar to yours. :D I still might give it a try. Who knows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocco Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Great pictures and ideas people. This idea seemed like a good one in theory, but was a b!tch to execute. The toy is Roc's Kryptonite glow in the dark toy. I had to do this in complete darkness no flash. I am really unsure how you photograph in the dark without a flash. Any tips? I guess a lens with a lower aperture? Nikon D200 ISO200 32mm F/2.8 28.0 Home made tripod from a box of tissues and the dictionary (I knew that thing had a purpose).

kja Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 (edited) That's pretty cool! A slower shutter speed would do more here than a wider aperture, I think. I don't think you'd want your DOF too much shallower than it is. Do more long exposures and experiment to get the detail you want. 28 is pretty long already, but maybe even longer... Also you're shooting a good low noise camera, bump that ISO up a bit Edited October 3, 2008 by kja Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rocco Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 (edited) This one I bumped my ISO to 640, I wasnt sure if it was getting to grainy though. How high would you go with your ISO? Edited October 3, 2008 by Rocco1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clicking Mad Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 (edited) ooo I like that second one rocco eta: rocco looks like he's been painted, has that nice soft feel! Edited October 3, 2008 by Clicking Mad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashanali Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 Rocco - you can shoot on a high ISO and not have a lot of noise if your image is correctly exposed. We often shoot weddings on as high as 6400 ISO without much noise at all (flashes in churches look icky). Start looking at histograms on the back of your camera and learn how to read them (if you don't already). Reading the histograms makes a HUGE difference when you are shooting.

You are talking about that graph thing that I can never get rid of sometimes in my screen? Is there a site or something to teach people how to read it? I wouldn't know where to start to understand what it means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruthless Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 You read it like your levels in PS. It should have info in your manual if you still have it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t(AD)pole Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Some great pics on here. Love the second toy photo Rocco. If we're still taking entries here are a couple from today... Canon 40D, 50mm f/1.8, tripod, remote, Canon speedlite 230ex pointed at ceiling. f/8, 1/250, ISO 400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashanali Posted October 4, 2008 Share Posted October 4, 2008 Rocco - yep, that graph thing Just as Ruthless said... you read it the same way you read the levels graph. (if you need more info, start another thread and I'll explain it to you.) also, if you want to get rid of it from the back of your camera, view an image and then press the 'info' button. It will take the image to full screen and get rid of the graph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
