I'll enter, but lately I've had a lot going on and haven't been able to think about it. I still have a few days . Although now I'm limited... I broke my halogen lamp and that's what I used for lighting... Might go to Home Depot and buy some $10 lights there. Or just shoot outdoors. Depends on where I go this week. And bulb should be able to go longer than 30 minutes. It's the setting that astrophotographers use, and they sometimes need over 6 hours to expose their image. Very interesting conversation on bulb and astronomy photos in general. As long as your camera has juice, you will continue recording the shot. You need to finish it before your battery dies though... Otherwise it won't be able to write it. Apparently the sensor overheats though, that's what gives excessive noise. I always forget that cameras show the exposure time without the 1/, I just always add it in in my head, so I forgot to mention it. And Slight will be taking an extended absence for a good reason, but he'll be back, so no worries
I'm pretty sure that's a Chinchilla. Think I will post up an app once I get my new camera in, if they are still being accepted ... dropped my last one on a set of stairs lol. Looking at a d60 or a d80. Really depends on price, and I want to buy a new macro lens.
It seems like the last image is a bit underexposed. Jeez, I really need to find the time to write tutorials. The histogram is essential to knowing if your image is properly exposed, but to most people it just looks like gibberish. As it is, here is an explanation of the histogram with pictures. Keep in mind that every histogram will be different, and there's a different histogram for high key and low key. High key = lots of high luminosity. Low key = dark A proper histogram for a high key image will look like the histogram for an overexposed photo, and a proper histogram for a low key image will look like an underexposed photo. Play with diffusing your flash, or even redirecting it. I cheat and put some white construction paper over it. Or you could add a color cast and use colored construction paper, lol. Keep messing around. Start asking yourself a lot about composition before hitting the shutter release button . If you think about it enough, it'll eventually become second nature. And, just for you Mr. Maché, I entered the photography competition . I didn't really have time to go out and shoot for it, so I submitted a photo that's part of my final project... hence why my name actually ended up on there (my first time using lightroom; apparently it adds whatever you write in the copyright box onto the actual image). I just wish that the depth of field was a bit more broad.
Than we are in agreement . It wasn't a posed picture, and I was really annoying my dad when taking it, so things got a wee bit annoying in that sense. He has a major case of ADD, so I'm lucky I got him to sit still long enough to even get the shot. It would be awesome if I could do a retake with the whole thing in focus, since everything else in the image was blacked out from the flash. Tomorrow I'm probably going to re-upload the image actually. I lost the metadata when I added my name to it on this computer, so I have to find the version at school and fix it. I like my metadata... Have fun Slight :\
Getting someone to model for you is a lot more difficult than it seems. Posing and sitting in constant position is irritating and frustrating and tiring and when you (the photographer) continually adjust and readjust your camera (tripod) it just causes more frustration. That's why you pay them .
Haha, I didn't even warn him. I just told him to hold still so I could take a picture of his hands. Oh, and to look away from the flash, which was pointed upwards... sort of towards his face, lol. And I love modeling ^_^. But that's because I think I look funny and like to laugh at the pictures . I don't have the Hollywood profile for my face so the photos I'm in generally aren't glamorous and have a goofiness to them that I'm not ashamed of. I hate glamor shots anyway. Show me the spontaneous stuff . My boyfriend is kind of like me and loves modeling, so I have at least one person I can boss around.
Here's some of my latest stuff: http://socsaint.deviantart.com/art/Class-104649876 http://socsaint.deviantart.com/art/Swinging-104648263 http://socsaint.deviantart.com/art/Des-Mains-104145400 I have some other stuff but I haven't looked through it all yet. I really just need to go out shooting for an entire day... Anyways, just felt like showing that I'm still taking pictures . I'd actually fail two of my classes if I wasn't, lol.
I love the slanted floor of the first one. Gives the picture such a theme of action. Second one I like as well, though the tiles? or whatever in the background bother me. I don't know what I would rather see replace it. Third one you have my comments on. You should show more often, seeing as you are the only active person in this crew aside from slight and myself. I will be uploading some of my new(er) shots within the next hour.
Finally got myself a DA page. Here are my newest: http://eccentriceggman.deviantart.com/art/...lower-104653740 http://eccentriceggman.deviantart.com/art/...ridge-104653579 http://eccentriceggman.deviantart.com/art/...unnel-104653335 http://eccentriceggman.deviantart.com/art/...-Race-104653672 http://eccentriceggman.deviantart.com/art/...osion-104653455
Now I have to call you Mr. Eggman? Very nice painting with light . I'll do a full critique when I don't have people over though Seriously, how come Camera Drawn isn't listed in the crews drop-down box anymore?
