Welcome to the Neowin digital photo gallery! Here you can post your pictures and discuss your photography techniques.

Please be mindful of our members on dial-up and try to keep the dimensions of the pics and the size of the files to a respectable size for 1024 x 768 viewers. Please refrain from quoting images in your replies.

I will also ask that you link to images on your own space, as much as possible.

Try to put more details from your camera settings and also talk about what you have done with photoshop.
There are a lot of photographers here that like your editing skills and would like to learn more.

Thanks!

First!

post processing details:
- 4 shot panorama
- red channel
- curves and level tuning

View from Plane to Dubai.


Old Delhi, India.


Goa, India.


View from our room in Koh Tao, Thailand.


Koh Tao, Thailand. Our room was the one second from right.


Victoria Point, Hong Kong.

Haven't done any post processing to them, other than killing the boarder function in infranview and using autostitch to stitch the panoramic ones together.

^ Love the panorama! Seems a little soft/blurry on the right. Ahh...no post processing

camera/lens?

thanks, yea if anyone has any tips on how to improve them feel free to make suggestions. I'm not very good with photoshopping photographs.

photo from my first attempt at photography

Heck the contrast looks great but I'd sharpen it a bit.

Unsharp Mask is your friend

What do you guys use to stitch together your pictures into a panoramic? I've been using this program called PhotoStitch that came with my Canon SD600. Photoshop never seems to get it right for me.

Thanks, I'll look into it.



I used the free demo version of autostitch for mine, I'm not sure if there are better ones out there as it's one of the first I came across. It can take a little tweaking but it seems to work pretty well.

Awesome job. How did you stop the curving from the rotation of the camera during the 4 shots?

Do you happen to know if there's an OSX version of it?

according to the site "There is no Linux/Mac version of Autostitch as yet, though we hope to release versions for these platforms in the future. Autostitch runs under WINE." Sorry :-\

Currently on a road trip from Virginia to Alaska. Here's my photo gallery of the trip: http://www.flickr.com/photos/10870024@N08/

Thanks. I let the program, Autostitch handle the aligning of the shots. Then I crop out the area I want.

And Hurmoth, those are some photos.

Really nice.

How did you like India?

bummer, I guess I could boot to windows if i can't get PS/photo stitch to work for me. It's just that I have CS2, and it's painfully slow to deal with an image that's 8000x6000 on an intel mac. Anybody wanna chip in so I can get CS3?

Thanks. Some truly amazing sights up here

Awesome Shots Hurmoth

Shot I took the other day

Got my Rebel XT with 18-55 Kit lens a few days ago. I'm impressed with what it can do more and more each day..






^Cropped version of image 3. No post-processing

edit: Does Firefox not manage color spaces? The pictures look accurate in Safari but horribly desaturated in Firefox
edit2: exported from adobe rgb -> sRGB. If only non-Safari browsers color-managed.

ZPF 2007 in Venlo, Netherlands

I feel kind of dirty by just posting a link here - but it's a link to 27 pictures I took yesterday during a festival in town

I think I did a fairly good job on it - especially for a first time in shooting concerts/gigs with equipment not really fitted for it. I shot it with a Nikkor 55-200mm VR lens, sadly I had to bump up the ISO to 3200 and get dirty with some noise - yet Noise Ninja helped me out quite a bit... Would love to receive some comments and critique on them though.

edit; aaaand I forgot to post the link

I can finally contribute to this thread again! not just yet though...off to Amsterdam on Wednesday and plan to take many pictures

Took a trip to my cottage.



first panoramic

she's hissing at him! - This one could have been brighter, but I like the action in it.


D50 with 25-200mm sigma lens.

A shot of Downtown Portland towards the end of sunset:

Very nice Was there any post-processing involved?

Sure was. It is a 9 shot HDR from -4 to +4 on the EV scale. Merged in Photomatix and then had to make some serious adjustments because of the color/white balance. I had to sacrifice some of the details in the clouds on the right hand side, but I went from the first image to the following image:





I know that I adjusted the curves, levels, color saturation for the different channels, brightness, contrast, and reduced noise with noise ninja. It was probably around 20 minutes worth of post until I felt satisfied. Oh, I also cleared out dust specs with a mix of the clone and healing tools.

Wow I didn't even think that that was an HDR. Usually the HDRs that I see look like crap, but yours looks really good! I've tried HDR a couple times, but they always come out looking stupid

That's not HDR you're seeing, it's tone-mapping which looks horrendous in my opinion... this is HDR

Have you posted a picture from that spot on here before? It looks really familiar.

I don't just tone-map a single shot and turn down the light smoothing to make it look horrible. I actually put time and effort into what I do and am really picky about what I post. I have a lot more duds than I would like to admit, but not everything is 100% usable. That is, unless I want to post CRAP.


What is? I don't see any example posted. Tone-mapping is essential for the technique and I doubt that anyone has a display that supports 32 bit radiance files to justify displaying a 30+MB file to show the HDR in real time... I don't feel like dumping hundreds into GND filters and a holder right now so I make do with what I have.


I have posted a picture taken at the same location before. It's a great place to capture the city scape and there's usually a very nice view of some good looking women running by in skimpy work-out clothes.

Hey, it's a win-win situation

Recent trip to PEI....

Beach!

All were shot with my Canon 350D in RAW.

Only processes I use in Photoshop are:

- Levels
- Curves
- Hue/Saturation
- Highlights/Shadow

More of my photos and work can be found on my DeviantART Page

Cool nice photos

A burn victim? What exactly is such a photo meant to show??

wow the amount of detail in that photo is disturbing to say the least.

Nothing fancy artwise...just a pic of this thing called a Monger...got my camera today

I love PEI!!! Was there back in 2004 and absolutely loved it, so beautiful there. Awesome pics

Thanks yo! I'm right next door in New Brunswick - about a 3 hour drive. Hadn't been there in 5 years and thought it was time for another visit

o0moonman0o: Nice as always....

Here are two photos I took over the weekend with XTI and kit lens.

hah thx sinergy!

I too love PEI, especially since I live there. Great pics sin-ergy!

Yesterday we had a Sea King helicopter circling our house and landed in a field nearby, our neighbor managed to get some pictures of it, so I'll see if I can get them from her and I'll put them up here.

do you know the young lady in the portraits? or is she a model?

A shot I took yesterday

in the ones i just posted, she's my gf.

nice one. have you tried cropping the butterfly with its flower?



you got a good model then i wish i could convince my wife to let me take her out on a photoshoot!!

No I haven't you think that could improve it a bit?...
