starmatrix Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 I think you used too large of an aperture on that ladybug, starblob. There's a tiny little strip that's in focus, and it's like 1/4 the way down its body. that was the smallest aperture I could use with the reversed lens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
giga Veteran Posted February 4, 2008 Author Veteran Share Posted February 4, 2008 Love the colours in your aquarium photos, giga. What post processing did you apply to your very last image to get that nice warm effect, it's very nice. Thanks! To achieve the colors of the last one, I applied several light color overlays of orange/brown and blue. Reduced the opacity so it wouldn't drown out the image and I think changed the blending mode to soft light or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

starmatrix Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Oh ok. What two lenses did you use? can't quite remember off hand. I think I had the standard 18-55mm kit lens on normally...then possibly a 50mm one reversed. But I couldnt find anyway of changing the aperture on that one as thats controlled by the camera electronically, so it stayed open at 1.8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

o0moonman0o Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 the cloudy skies here and the snow on the ground is givin great diffused light as seen in bubba's photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bubbabyte Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 these are the settings used Camera: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT Exposure: 1/4000 sec Aperture: f/3.5 Focal Length: 50 mm ISO Speed: 400 All shot in AV mode with aperture priority. However there was alot of pp done to the last two shots due to me having incorrect settings, as you can probably tell there was no need for iso400 and the originals were really blown out, luckily i was able to save most of them in photoshop. but otherwise moonman is right on the money, cloudy skies and snow on the ground is amazing lighting.

Dallas Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Holly Hell Dallas, no 8 is a giant! He is tall (6"2') maybe, the way his feet are pointing gives the allusion that he is taller then he really is. But wow he does look huge in that photo.

Tantawi Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 How'd you do that first one, tantawi? This was in a historical castle in Alexandria, a dark path leading to an exit in noon sunlight, a bit of slow shutter + higher ISO (because it was hand held), creates this effect. 1/25 second - F/11 - 21 mm - ISO-400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emn1ty Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 I just got back from a weekend trip, and it was to Hearst Castle. Unfortunately the lighting was horrible inside, and they don't allow flash (like I need it) or tripods, so I had to shoot at 1/10-1/60 exposure to get anything to show up, hence blurry pictures as a result. But I did happen to get some really good shots both inside and out, here is a link to all the images, since there are quite a lot of them and they might kill this topic if I posted all of them. http://emn1ty.deviantart.com/gallery/#Hearst-Castle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
