The Photography Thread!

[VoX]

Forum seemed pretty quiet so here's something for peoples to have a look at.

Been getting into photography and a mate needed some pics done for art coursework, so I gave a hand then had a shot at PP'ing them.

Stuff from my DeviantART, most of it's fairly old... done with a standard digital camera not an SLR, with loads of editing of course:

[Target]

There was a program on 5 the other day with Suzie Perry about sports photography was actually really good, gave you some good tips for taking pics, think there is a whole series of them, might be worth having a look

[VoX]

Yeah, heard about that Target but never caught it, may have to do some hunting to see if I can find it anywhere.


Chaz - nice results, have you got a certain procedure you do for each photo or you just take it as it comes for each one?

[Chazlene]

Chaz - nice results, have you got a certain procedure you do for each photo or you just take it as it comes for each one?

All I do really is create adjustment layers (gradient maps mostly) and muck about with the blending modes of them. Also I tend to create a sort of lens blur and saturation vignettes, as well as normal ones where it gets darker towards the edge.

[Colonel Mitch]

Chazles are nicer, even if the first one is a bit more paedo ;)

Also vox, you have some wierd friends....

[Chazlene]

even if the first one is a bit more paedo ;)

THAT'S MY LIL' BROTHER BRO.

[VoX]

Target - Did some research into the Channel 5 show and it basically seemed like it was dumbed down massively, although general consensus is that the expert who did the sports one went into a lot more detail so will have a look for that one.


Mitch - Well he does have a bit more experience, and yes I do :p.


Oh, and cause I could only really Photoshop yesterday while WoW was DLing, had a go at pissing about with brush dynamics, rushed the body a bit and technique needs work but I kinda like it.

i must agree with mitch, vox ur friends look bloody wierd

:D.


Shot from today, have to photograph "autumn" which is kinda hard when quite a few trees are still green.

Amazing work, would be nice to see some more colour though.

I'm going to try and sound like a smart ass and point out that number 7 doesn't adhere to the rule of thirds :P.

[VoX]

Thanks again Cal :D. Yeah, I'm thinking about re-editing a few leaving in colour but the light was meh so they look pretty flat :(.

Haha, true, may crop it a bit :p.

No 5 and 9 have been added to some randomers Flickr album about Paris, I iz happy :D

[VoX]

Randoms from last night, we couldn't be bothered with any post editing and some are desperately in need of cropping, but thought they might give a chuckle nonetheless. (Pulled from FB hence the bad compression)

I'm loving the cyclist in the third one :P

It's like he's out of phase or something xD

[VoX]

Hehe thanks, intended to get him as the only stationary thing in the exposure but he moved on about 3/4 of the way through, still gives some pretty awesome ghostly effect :D.

[VoX]

Can haz new toy :D

It sat on camera, next to kit lens.

http://i.imgur.com/RLJ6P.jpg



And the reason why f/1.8 is just win for depth of field;

http://i.imgur.com/yeqmY.jpg



Mainly bought for shooting a gig this weekend where I'd need the large aperture due to the low light, will post up shots from there when I've done the shoot :)

[VoX]

Gig went alright actually, what I've learnt;

- Autofocus, expect to work without/unsuccessfully with it unless there's a fill light or the performers don't mind the AF assist beam firing.
- Flash, needed so fking much.
- 50mm primes, great for when you're in a press pit or the band are moderate distance away, other than that expect some close up shots.
- ISO, I knew I'd be on ISO 1600 all night, yeah it's a bit noisy but not too bad, would have loved a 550D or 50D though so I can go up to 6400
- Be mindful of what you're wearing round your neck. Nearly went cameras first into the stage so had to quickly shield them from damage lol. Also decided I'd launch a glowstick, bad idea. Felt the cameras flail about violently, heart skipped a beat lol.
- 2 cameras are a necessity. Had an f/1.8 50mm on one and a 28-80mm on the other, last time I'd been to the venue they had a fill light so was banking on using the 50mm without a flash, they didn't this time, still made use of them though for different effects.


But yeah, the pics;

If Starbucks offered that, I'm pretty sure they would sell out. :D Everything you've done so far looks incredible, although the singer in that band might wanna consider trimming his arms a little bit.

Trimming his arms?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I'll go get a BONESAW!

[VoX]

Hehe, thanks Oric :)

[Calneon]

Can't wait to get my D3100!

[VoX]

Can't wait to see the results you get either :).

I give it a month before you have an itch for another lens/flash/battery grip :p.

[VoX]

Gave water drops a try today and yesterday, pretty mediocre results.

http://imgur.com/Fm30C.jpg


And today managed to a minor "crown" although not the best one.

http://imgur.com/KDrCr.jpg



I managed to overheat my onboard flash due to overuse and my custom diffuser (Read paper taped over it lol) so now thinking about external flashes that have a better recycle rate lol.

[Calneon]

Lots of noise on that first one. Looks like you're shooting in low light?

[VoX]

Nah, its the texture of the bowl (Well, baking tray) I was using, everything else was dirty and just wanted practice really lol.

They were low light, but with flash. (1/125th for Sync, ~f/18-f/22 and ISO 100).

Need to get hold of some quality streets, the wrappers make awesome coloured diffusers :D.

[Vicious Horizon]

YES! Quality street do, I remember using those with my dad's camera last year.

Have you got a custom flash in mind? I could find out which one my Dad's got if you wanted.

[VoX]

xD.

Well its a toss up between splurging on the Canon 430EX II (£199) or going 3rd party with the Yongnuo YN-468 (£70) and then getting a few shoot through umbrella's etc and wireless triggers. Currently swaying towards the YN-468 and the triggers, mainly cause I'm poor :p.

If you could find out what he has it would be most appreciated :D.

[VoX]

A few from the past few days.

Me likely, you've grasped composition v well and managed to make mist work, and that's not easy to do! Look forward to seeing what else you come up with.

Meeting up with Gary today up London with cameras, shall post up if we get anything worthwhile, light looking kinda flat though =/.

Thanks :). Went down to my grandparent's old house that we're renting out this morning, managed to find a good range of tripods.

[VoX]

Awesomes, enjoy the light trail shots :). Best piece of advice I've been given for them is make them compliment the shot, don't make them the shot. Kinda hard when there's nothing interesting though =/.


Today was a laugh, Gary took to photography well!

[Vicious Horizon]

I shoved my camera into automatic at 125, after taking the shots I realised my Dad hadn't left in my 200 film, instead the 3200 film was still in there, I'll scan them in once I develop them, see how utterly over-exposed they are XD

[VoX]

Have never touched film, although assuming film ISO is roughly the same as digital ISO (In the sense of if you used settings you would on ISO100 on ISO3200 you'd get some lolexposure) I'd expect a near white-out :p.

[Chalex4]

I'm really liking your last 2 pics there vox. Did you do any kind of processing on them?

[VoX]

Cheers :).

Just minor adjustments in CameraRAW (Black levels, fill light, recovery, clarity etc) and the usual curves/levels and then a good old sharpen to finish off.

I shoot in RAW which can give a slightly flat and soft image, although there's a lot more scope for (much needed) PP, hence the load of adjustments.


Another monochromatic from the day.

Love the Mexican Grill photo.

How do you go about blurring the background and not the target in some of the other photos?

[Vicious Horizon]

The movement ones? I *think* it's a quick focus and moving the camera at the same relative speed so the subject doesn't appear to be moving but the background is, if you see what I mean.

[VoX]

Thanks :). If you mean the motion ones then yeah, it's like VH said, focus on the car and move the camera along with the speed of the car while exposing. I tend to use Tv mode and then about 1/20th of a sec. The VR on your lens will come in handy here, comparing the car movement shots down with my old lens (No stabilisation) and the new one (Sigma's Optical Stabilisation) there is a big diff in the crispness of the car. Admittedly the cyclist isn't the best example, this is probably better.

Ford In Motion (http://www.flickr.com/photos/callumsullivan/5298020925/) by Callum Sullivan (http://www.flickr.com/people/callumsullivan/), on Flickr

Just keep in mind the composition of the shot and the fact the car is moving and you'll get some good results :).

[Calneon]

Yeah that's a good example.

Don't know how people would react if I just take random pictures of their car lol.

[VoX]

Cheers. You learn to ignore it lol. Just remove number plates and all should be good.

[Hutch]

Good day in Camden for taking photos?

[VoX]

Yeah it was alright in Camden, should of gone a bit earlier though cause the sun was setting as we come out of the tube station =/.


Went out today, took tripod and shot with the intention of not having to delete any at all due to camera shake, this was my favorite.

[Calneon]

Is that my border style on the second photograph? :)

Nice use of f/stop stacking (I knew what that was, didn't have to google search or anything xD).

[VoX]

Well I went to crop it, then liked the effect given by the blanking out, so made it a border instead lol.

Thanks, and yeah, I heard someone mention it so had a google and decided to give it a try :D.

[Vicious Horizon]

I envy you guys being able to see your results just after you take 'em. I still haven't seen the pics I took last week XD

[VoX]

Haha, grab a digital body in the sales then :p. If you're Canon based then your lenses should still work with auto-focus too.

[VoX]

Just a quick mess about with the flash, I was a twonk and left camera on ISO 1600 so had to be softened a bit to remove the noise.

[VoX]

From the shoot today, C&C welcome as I'm still quite inexperienced at working with models.

Think Flickr may have done something to the colours though...

[VoX]

Was bored and had loan of this again today

http://i.imgur.com/wE3Bj.jpg


So took a trip back to ye ole days.


http://i.imgur.com/SRJm1.jpg

[Vicious Horizon]

Old days? Pah, I'm still shooting film from the 90s XD

[VoX]

xD. Am really tempted to give film a go again, although I just gave a mate my old 500n, plus I'm addicted to Lightroom/Photoshopping and the developing costs would kill me :p.

[Vicious Horizon]

It really makes you think about every single shot you take.

You've got 30 shots / film, and you've got 2 areas where you can fuck up, the actual shot, and the development

[VoX]

Yeah, have been debating going out with a 512MB/1GB card and stopping myself deleting them, just exercises like that make you think (Like stopping my mate using his 50D and forcing him to shoot with his TZ10 for a week xD)

[VoX]

Graveyards are an interesting place....

An e-cookie to whoever notices my borrowed toy in the EXIF ;)

[Hutch]

While I love the photos, they all look very emo lol.

[Chazlene]

Nice Vox, that Angelic one is pretty creepy... you should heavily edit to make it properly haunting looking, or perhaps you could send it to me so I can have a go? :p

[Colonel Mitch]

They're lovley.

[VoX]

Cheers Hutch, think the emoness came from being in the graveyard for some of the shots lol.


Ooh, might do Chaz. Photo practice exam piece is on Angels and Demons, so if you can come up with anything and briefly explain it would be most appreciated :D. Will PM you a higher res file in a sec.

Thanks Piers.

[Colonel Mitch]

I especially like the emo ducks.

They're ready to kill you can tell.

Yeah I was gonna Photoshop it with a tear coming from its eye :D

[ez64]

Shameless sales bump :D

got some 1960's Super 8 cine camera/cine projector and 35mm stuff for sale on ebay if anyone wants the link.

[VoX]

Had a go at some sports today. Froze my ass off, had to sprint in a suit (shot wasn't even worth it lol) and dealt with constant auto-focus issues because of the not very fast AF of the 1000D. Plus, teacher wasn't amused when I came in and camera was pretty wet from the rain (schools gear). Ahh well it dried out :p. Need some practice if I'm honest.

Hopefully in a few days I'll have a definite buyer on my 1000D, then I shall post up the new toy (currently borrowed but still technically not mine until I pay lol) :p

[Chazlene]

Holy shit somehow missed you posting those football ones Vox, I'm pretty sure whatever that guy in the last photo is doing is cheating :p

Anyway I've got a photography project for uni which I've been failing at with my shitty camera, here's a photo from it, a muntjac skull with a bit of editing:

http://fc09.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2011/048/6/4/muntjac_skull_by_chazlene-d39ri00.png

[Vicious Horizon]

I remember having to draw those things for about 3 months in Year 11.

I know every little nook and cranny in those goddamn skulls XD

[VoX]

Yeah, he was cheating a little bit, thought it would be a good quirky one for the yearbook though :p.

The skull still looks alright tbh :). If this buyer pulls out I'm selling a DSLR cheap if you want.

Ooh how much?

[VoX]

£285 for the body (1000D) and kit lens (18-55mm), £340 and I'll throw in a good battery grip, 2 extra batteries and a bag as well :).

Hmm a bit steep for me atm, still might go for it after I've looked at other options.

Some really old photos of mine from around the farm, which I edited today and am pretending I took recently them for a University project:

Some of your editing is a bit strong IMO, but very nice.

[VoX]

Little bit strong on the PP, but some decent stuff there.


Hmm a bit steep for me atm, still might go for it after I've looked at other options.

I'm open to offers, what sort of price did you have in mind?

[VoX]

Went London to grab shots for exam, this is just other stuff I felt like snapping while up there.

Do you get permission from these people before you take photos of them and upload them to the internet?

[VoX]

Public place, no permission needed ;).

If I got approached by someone after a photo and they nicely asked me to delete the photo I'd oblige of course, not happened yet though.

[Target]

Unless they were small children and then you would need chalex's permission

Nice photos Vox, especially like the 2nd one.

So I went home last weekend and got to use my brother's SLR, took a few snaps of my house:

Decided to take a walk down to the beach with my camera, was a bit rusty (me, not the camera), but managed to get a few nice shots. Would have liked to take some slow shutter speed ones of the waves, but didn't take my tripod.

Tried to do some Bokeh last weekend but it completely failed lol.

Since I noticed that I have coincidentally in the last couple of years made an autumn-themed photo edit of a fence post and a winter-themed one, I thought I'd make a spring one:

This was the definition of a nightmare shoot, the band were a bit merh when it came to listening, flash starting blinking at me to say low battery, light was non existent inside the building so I was relying on phone lights to composure the shot (didn't fancy wasting battery using the flashes modelling light) and the AF assist beam was a bit hit and miss. Oh, and one of the guitarists really didn't want to be there. Oh, this involved a bit more in the way of "pyrotechnics" than I'm used too as well lol.

Luckily, they liked the result and I was able to PP them in a way that makes the slightly missed focus (dam light) look reasonable. Life would be so much easier with the 7D, a few more 580 EX II's and some umbrellas lol.

Yeah, combination of ISO1600 and shooting wide open at 200mm doesn't really leave a sharp image, even after sharpening in PS :/. How's your shots going? Haven't seen much recently :)

Have you thought of doing events Vox? It earns quite a lot of money.

As Vicious says, doesn't pay all that much, unless you have a steady stream of them. Have assisted at some though, hard and stressful work, but strangely rewarding. Bitch to get started with though.

[Calneon]

Those silhouettes are really damn nice. Makes me want to go down to Portsmouth harbor and try the same thing. I'm back in Oxfordshire for easter atm though.

[VoX]

Cheers Sam. Awesomes, no decent sunsets to be had in Oxfordshire then?

[Vicious Horizon]

Oxfordshire is too hilly and tree-y for good sunsets, really. There's a spot or two where I live, but nothing special

[VoX]

Well if it's hilly and tree-y then surely theres some alright landscapes to be had in the hour after/before sunrise/sunset?

[Vicious Horizon]

The bad kind of tree-y and hilly

[Chazlene]

Haha I live on the Downs, the highest hills in the whole of Oxfordshire, so I can go up there whenever and take sunset photos. I might do that now just out of spite.

Lol Chazl, you make it sound like Middle Earth or something.

The last one would be awesome if the focus was on the glasses lenses, though I'm guessing as it's ancient its all MF? Love the shallow DOF you get from 35mm and full-frame.

I was gutted with the glasses, the idea was to focus through the lenses.

Looks proper grainy 'cause I was using 3200 ISO film.

Ahh, that's the one big downside to film, don't know if you've got the shot until after it's all developed. Nowt wrong with grain, just really shows that it was a film shot, which quite a lot of ppl on Flickr seem to get a boner over.


Was a little bored this evening, so had a go with a single strobe + shoot through umbrella (and a reflector, although don't think I used it for this shot). Yes, we did have very little of interest in the cupboards.

Not sure whether I like the catch-light from the umbrella or not.

School hosted a charity 5 a side match beating the world record for the longest game (they got 37.5 hours) so was covering that. Action shots still being edited, so just a quick arty one shot with a mates new 50mm f/1.4 :D.

Cheers VH :D

[Colonel Mitch]

The car looks awesome (for a golf) but what actually are the white linely things, and how do they fit in the photo?

[VoX]

Cheers. The lines were a strobing LED torch being waved about, mainly there as we got bored simply painting the car, so wanted to make it a bit more interesting and get some decent reflections in the car. Plus I needed something random to fit in with the theme "Mystery and Imagination" for exam work.

We're doing again later in the week with a few other cars (hopefully without the shopping trolleys in the background) so anything you think might work better than the random lights?

Not particularly. Maybe somke machine and use the card headlight, especially if any of the cars your using have HID lapms

Would look awesome, but I lack a smoke machine :(

Different (and rather filthy) car, using a softbox and coloured lights this time :D

I was going to say this. Holy shit, those photos are better than most car advertisements I've seen.

[VoX]

Cheers guys, lacking access to any properly nice cars atm though, need to build up a few contacts, car dealerships would be perfect but can't see that happening being 17.

Tonight could be a challenge, fire engines are big and have a lot of areas light could miss. Looks like I'll need all the torches we've got and to implore the help of a few of the station staff lol.

Agree wiht the above comments. Very well shot.

If the fire engine ones go well i think you should contact some major car compaines if you'd be interested lol xD. don't tell them your age unles they ask to interview you or summit, but with pictures like that you could get offered a full time job as a photographer from a company like ford etc

[VoX]

Thanks Piers.

Yeah I'm tempted to contact a dealership or something, even if its just prints they want for artwork in the showroom/offices or something it would be an income with potential for future work. Age would be a non mention unless they asked for interviews as you said, would just get Dad or someone to pick the cars up xD.

I think your age is a non issue. You're obviously mature and have a lot of skill, and over the age of employment. It should not be an issue at all.

[VoX]

Cheers, just need to sort out driving etc and should all be ok.


From what I learnt last night: Fire trucks are huge and therefore you need longer exposures. Fire trucks are huge therefore they can't be put into many secluded places meaning ambient light is a BITCH to work with. Fire trucks are huge therefore focusing on the entire vehicle with light proves a challenge as swirls etc need to be larger (harder with the aforementioned ambient light issue). When shooting inside the hanger to get away from the ambient light, the fire truck is huge so therefore occupies most of the hanger meaning you can't get many details in and you're limited by space and your widest focal length (need a 10-22mm desperately). Fire trucks are huge so when they're sat outside flashing blues you attract a nice bit of attention from Joe public. Did I mention fire trucks are huge?


I've done better imho, would love to be able to do this again but in a darker location, or even on location at a fire (they didn't get a shout when we were there, shame as there could have been a few decent shots to have been had.) I did get to play with a thermal imaging camera though, which was pretty fun :D

Then we moved on to do something more familiar, cars. Arrive at Morrisons carpark to find it closed due to them not being open today (Easter Sunday) so had to go in one at the side, which had more ambient light, not helped that we were both tired from having been dancing around a fire truck for the past hour and a half.

Love 1, 9 and 10, shame about the reflections(?) in 4, polarizing filter would have been a god send there.

Did you use on-board flash for 3? If you did then dialing in a little bit of negative flash exposure can stop it causing harsh shadows. Either way don't think it detracts and is still a good shot :).

Nice use of DOF on all of them too.

Damn, there is some really nice shots there, VoX. I'll link to a few once I upload my last shoot. Some from Newcastle, when I was seeing Mitch and some from London, when I stayed at a friends flat, with a breathtaking view of London and the river Thames.

The first and third are good, the rest I'm not so sure. Are you using a different lense? Some of the shots look disproportioned.

1st and 3rd were with a 100mm f/2 prime. The rest were shot with a 10-20mm lens, mainly at 10mm, hence the distortion lol. And thanks :)
