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.

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
8th October 2010, 07:06 PM
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?

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.

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.

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
28th November 2010, 12:37 AM
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;

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.

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.

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!

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

1st January 2011, 01:01 PM
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.

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

VoX
1st January 2011, 02:17 PM
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
1st January 2011, 03:02 PM
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
1st January 2011, 03:23 PM
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.

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.

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.

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?

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

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.

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 :)

The rules when I take my shirt off. Although it's normally the photographers rule, normally seeing it once is enough to go insane :D

Pretty much all I really got from Devon, though I didn't really use my camera much.

Just about living after uni! What kit you use?

Haha!

Kit varies based on what I can borrow from school, my stuff is Canon 50D, 50mm 1.8 and a Sigma 18-200mm. Regularly steal a 100mm f/2, 580EXII and Sigma 10-20mm from school, and that above shot was done on a mates 7D because we cba changing the tripod slide over so just switched cards lol

Brought the element of a car into it. Not bad for a first attempt, will be improving at a later date.
