Wall Was fascinated by this door for some reason, so took a pic of it. Here's the original: Here's an edited version, after playing around with it for about 1.5 minutes:
I’ll never cease to be amazed by what HDR can achieve. Here are three images with different post-processing treatments. Sure, the effect is too strong, but that’s spectacular.
Lyrt... Amazing... simply amazing. Are you selling photos on iStock yet? If no, why not? I've tried getting accepted, but they say they don't care about razors... they all look alike... yada yada. Of course, they also said my uploads are too grainy. If I could find out where they live, I'd show 'em some grainy!!!!
Bill, thank you very much. I never thought of selling my photographs and did not even know of the existence of iStock. I have no extravagant needs so my job provides enough cash for my hobbies, food and whatnot. I want photography to stay a hobby and anybody can use my works as they want. Like I previously said “they are protected by the copyrights of my ass.” By the way, here’s a series of past photographs I took and posted here and there. It’s a kind of best-of. Beware, lots of pics.
Simple, you need to freeze it with a fast shutter speed. 1/500 is a good start. Of course, if the water itself is moving very quickly, you’ll have to speed up accordingly. The main problem you’ll have is light: the fastest the shutter speed, the greater the loss of light. Edit: I forgot to say here a DSLR is a must-have. My D70 can only synchronise with my remote flash up to 1/500. I’d need at least a D200 to get the ultra fast synchronisation feature.
Internet is a free book. I personally started reading a lot of theory: how a camera works, how the optics work, what is the meaning of aperture, exposure, shutter speed and how they interact, etc. I read it all in French, so I can’t help you here. Then I began practising a lot: shooting the same things thirty times with different settings; shooting the same monument at different hours to see how the lightings changed; etc. I also started looking at professional’s works: copying some tricks, looking for inspiration. Then I learned a darkroom was 50% of a photograph. I started looking at PS tutorials and forums. Then again, I experimented a lot. The only book I bought was a D70 guide. Now I know how my camera works and I won’t need a book when I upgrade it. Steve and Padron, thank you.
oh really ?? !! .....mine costs about $30 dinero a month but I catch your drift, brah. Again, nice work.
