Got bored so I started playing around with the camera again. Only used my 50mm f/1.4 lens

A small bottle of Nigori style sake. I hardly ever shoot with an aperture larger than F/2.5, but I wanted to see if I still had a tough time focusing in on my subject with the largest aperture I can go (f/1.4). I think it turned out kinda cool

F/1.4, ISO800, 1/125 Shutter speed


Then, I started playing with reflections. Pulled up the civicforums decal idea I made a little while ago, flipped horizontal and vertical, and used the reflection off my iPhone4.

First, f/14.0, ISO1600, Shutter speed @ 1/2


Next, went with the large aperture to blur everything out
F/1.4, ISO1600, Shutter speed @ 1/60


Pics are kinda noisy.. Moreso the 1600ISO ones, but still kinda cool shots.

Nice work riceboy
Mac- what do you shoot with?

I just got home from a friends place and noticed the sky looked pretty clear here in Portland so I pulled the camera out.

This is a small set of stars taken on 12/31/10 that shows their movement over several minutes. It really makes you feel like your spinning in the galaxy.

Canon T2i w/ kit lens
Exp: 30 sec (60 secs between exposures)
F3.5
ISO: 100

it's an older (like 2009) fujifilm s2000HD
10mp
15x wide zoom
it can focus up two 2cm (2/3 of an inch) from the lens
baught it new at the time for $350 and love it

not as fast as a d90 and you can't change the lens but it does the trick.

whaaaaaaaaaaa! wicked Triz! that's a cool concept.

^exposure is way off on the subject point. Are you shooting in manual mode on that camera, or doing full auto?? Halogen lights are very harsh for lighting without changing the exposure on the camera. Other then that it would be really cool.

The more I shoot, the more I want a 5D Mark II, but at this time in my life I cant afford it, or justify it... I envy its sensor.

 
Rep Power: 229

the original isn't that high in contrast. but i like making my pictures seem like they'd be inpossible to see in real life. they look really nice in the printed form, more of a rich gold since the print isn't backlight like a screen. but i see what you mean.

Yeah, what TRIZ said

Anyways, TRIZ, dont go overboard on the light smoothing, too much halo

Heres me playing with depth of field with my cam
F3.1/ISO200/1" Exp/Focal Length 5mm

 
Rep Power: 229

awww kenny those look yummmmyy!

 
Rep Power: 388

I think it just looks like that because I had a shallow depth of field with 4 different light sources.

I wish there was a way to do HDR video with only one camera, but I dont think there is- especially at 24fps. I've been watching HBO's Boardwalk Empire, and I'm trying to find out how they do some of their shots that look HDR-like.

Who cares about HDR video :P
Just make cool vids.

I watch Videocopilot, freddiew

They make really good AfterEffects videos


This is my recent photos:

I've been sick lately, so I havent been taking a lot of pictures the past two weeks or so. But even tho I'm outta the field, I'm online looking for the next best piece of equipment.

If anyone knowns about the LCDVF's for the canon (also works on Nikon) they were priced around 150+ which was a little high for most people. Clones came out around 80 bucks, but then went up to 110 when becoming popular. Guess what, there is a new one out thats back at 60 bucks.

Reason you might want one of these: A lot of our DSLR cameras are capable of doing 1080p HD video, which make it an HDSLR camera. Unfortunately since the mirror is flipped up in movie mode, the optical viewfinder is rendered useless and you have to use the screen in live-view. In sunny conditions the LCD screen gets washed out and focusing is a bitch.

I'd suggested grabbing one of these if your into shooting video with your HDSLR. Rock bottom price.

Oh, forgot to mention: There are two different screen sizes, 4x3 and 3x2, so make sure you pick the right screen size.

Just to keep this alive
That, and because I thought this looked like the candy cup from charlie and the choco factory


ISO 64, F3.1, 1/100"; 5mm

ISO 64, F4.2, 1/50"; 12mm

 
Rep Power: 388

Damn, your iso can go all the way down to 64? Mine maxes out at 100 I believe.

 
Rep Power: 291

Yeah, most cameras top off at 100, even high end DSLR's

That's the benefit of having a Fuji, lower ISO setting, and easy menu navigation

Nice, and I'm even rocking a Canon T2i... BTW, I just bought parts to build a new computer with a sandybridge intel i7 3.4ghz, so I'll be able to FINALLY edit my video I've been shooting in 1080p! Praise the lord!!

This was a trash the dress model shoot I did last year when the weather was nice (I miss 25 C days!). Concept is that a bride after her wedding day gets into all sorts of places with her wedding dress, and gets pictures out of it

Dude... that's a badass shot.

Feel free to post up a lot more in this thread!

Oh, and the lens you used is my favorite lens of the ones I own

telling people to die and not to die.. like I did that one day in text+

"shinde kudasai" and "shinanaide kudasai"

"please die" and "please don't die," respectively..

No friggin way you took that shot :O

That's amazing haha

Looking forward to more shots from you

Is it wrong to have a pic of a Mazda3 in the forum? :P

I wanna do something like this for my Civic when I find a driver I can trust to drive it



I believe....
Aperture: f22
Shutter: 0.5s
Body: 50D
Lens: Sigma 17-70 f2.8-4.5
ISO: 100

 
Rep Power: 291

Nah, nothing wrong with that

I like pan shots, but hard to take one of your own car =/

 
Rep Power: 229

get a really long push button cord to shoot your own car as you drive...??? lol

 
Rep Power: 291

Or......a remote? LOL

But no, u cant, in order to get a panning shot, the photographer has to be riding in a different car, driving at the same exact speed, and taking the shot

Can't really do it yourself

Unless you have a boom. And even then, it's a few hundred. Not worth the expense unless I get some people interested photography for their car.
