that's some talent.

I dunno... doesnt seem very HDR-y, like that bedroom photo you showed us

TVC15 · « **Reply #3 on:** March 16, 2008, 01:15:59 AM »

Well, demifag, places with extremely a wide range of lighting aren't very common in Seattle. I have to work with what I have. I wish I had shit like this:

demi · « **Reply #4 on:** March 16, 2008, 01:17:52 AM »

Well, you, maybe you should go to places like that, instead of places like the lakeshore.

TVC15 · « **Reply #5 on:** March 16, 2008, 01:19:51 AM »

That's in Slovakia. Do you know what they do to gay americans in Slovakia? They rape them.

TVC15 · « **Reply #6 on:** March 16, 2008, 01:30:41 AM »

Check this one. It is like seeing Jesus raping a baby.

The technology is neat, I applaud your passion, but you don't have anything interesting to shoot. As so, I think some of the sample photos actually look better.

TVC15 · « **Reply #8 on:** March 16, 2008, 01:52:47 AM »

I was just fucking around. The only things I could find with anything resembling interesting light were the clouds. Also, you are patently uninteresting, Will.

I like them. Especially how it looks on the water <3

tvc's soundshore pictures look gorgeous. i had no idea slovakia was so garish though

pacific northwest >>> eastern europe, because americans have taste and understand the value of restraint.

TVC15 · « **Reply #12 on:** March 16, 2008, 02:12:44 AM »

It's not a lake, it's the Puget Sound.

But thanks, recursively. Slovakia looks like a CHRISTMAS VILLAGE but the lack of a Cock Ring Warehouse will keep me away.

You asked for input and I didn't even say anything critiquing your talent - no need to throw a gay hissy fit.

TVC15 · « **Reply #14 on:** March 16, 2008, 02:21:01 AM »

Why don't you get fucked and go suck some cocks, Will? Nobody asked for your opinion.

None of you are lesbians, fuck you all. I like your finished product.

janet likes the first one a lot. mmm, washington.

jews can't appreciate subtlety, tvc. they need vegas and bavarian sideshows, not moody lakeshores.

Don't listen to these homos, those pictures are nice, you have some nice clouds above your head.

Took this photo with my iPhone outside my house:

TVC15 · « **Reply #18 on:** March 16, 2008, 03:27:39 AM »

That's pretty nice. That's good quality for a phone camera, too.

Thanks. I have a ton but I don't wanna post 'em all here.

EDIT: I decided I'll post a link to some pictures I've taken with my phone. It's a PB album. Hope this doesn't derail the thread.

TVC, you should come to Greenlake in August when they do the Hiroshima candle light remembrance on the lake. I'm sure you'd take some awesome shots of it.

i like the 3rd personally.

bright and majestic.

Raban · « **Reply #24 on:** March 16, 2008, 04:05:08 AM »

You guys are talking about TVC's post right? I like the final product, it combines the elements of the first three just right.

demi · « **Reply #25 on:** March 16, 2008, 04:10:52 AM »

Is it supposed to be that bright? His original photos imply he was out during evening, when the final product is daytime. That Slovakian photo still shows it's dark out, and I'd imagine the other pre-combined photos are dark as well.

TVC15 · « **Reply #26 on:** March 16, 2008, 04:13:37 AM »

Those were taken at like 3PM demi. To do an HDR photo you take one photo properly metered, and a few underexposed and overexposed pictures.

The over/underexposed photos were done at +/-2, so they are pretty over and under exposed.

TVC15 · « **Reply #27 on:** March 16, 2008, 04:45:16 AM »

This is my favorite HDR photo, I think

recursivelyenumerable · « **Reply #28 on:** March 16, 2008, 04:55:21 AM »

I do think there's a bit too much of the "overexposed" photo (or it's a bit too overexposed, whatever)

Yeah, I found a way to fix that, but then I totally fucked up the picture and I got bored and started watching X-Files.

TVC15 · « **Reply #30 on:** March 16, 2008, 05:22:43 AM »

I was just fucking around again. It's pretty amazing. You basically have full control over the intensity of light and shadow in the scene.

The yellowing in the clouds is jpeg artifacing which there is apparently a way to prevent, but lol 1am.

BlueTsunami · « **Reply #31 on:** March 16, 2008, 12:10:32 PM »

Clouds are perfect to photograph when their just right. When their puffy, you get the full gamut of light to shadow and the texture is always beautiful.

Overkill on the HDR, there.

TVC15 · « **Reply #37 on:** March 17, 2008, 01:24:11 PM »

Woah, those are really nice. How many exposures did you use for each shot, and was there any other trickery involved? What kinda camera, too?

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #38 on:** March 17, 2008, 01:26:16 PM »

Some of those shots are awesome.

I think the higher end cameras are supposed to be able to bracket even more incrimental exposures. Those shots are really awesome.

I think I used 8-10 exposures. Keep the lens open super long to get whatever's hiding in the shadows, 30 seconds is long enough. Camera is a Canon 20D + Sigma 30mm 1.4 EX lens.

I use Photomatix for my HDR conversion, great but VERY BUGGY/crashy.

TVC15 · « **Reply #43 on:** March 18, 2008, 01:18:18 AM »

I think I finally need to buckle down and get a decent tripod and a remote shutter release. If I want to do things that require a bunch of exposures, the three shot bracket just isn't going to do it.

Why is it only a three shot bracket? Why can't they let the user pick how many shots they want, and at what intervals?

It's weird, my A710 IS point and shoot with its hacked firmware will let me bracket however the fuck I want. My like 300 dollar point and shoot has more bracketing options than my 1200 dollar DSLR. Maybe someone will hack its firmware.

Ah 1.4, hehe, was going to ask you if you denoise the longer exposures before the compositing, but I guess you can do these in low enough ISO with that. Also 20D is pretty low on noise to begin with IIRC. Cool. My GF has a K-M Dynax 7D, was thinking about buying the 50mm 1.8 for that when I go to Japan and try some HDR.

TVC, the Dynax 7D does 3 or 5 exposure bracketing, and you can also set how big the EV steps are gonna be between them. But I guess going manual is better anyway.
