Photographers: Photograph a Day

[Killer]

Perfect composition! I wanted to shoot myself for not having my camera friday night...was near the carnival at Discover mills and the lighting from it mixed with the purple heat lightning would have been a perfect shot!


Read the EXIF data

i got that already... i meant was he just shooting or did he wait and shoot once he saw the lightning...

[changaroo]

5 second exposure, im sure it took more than one try to get it. but there is a 5 second margin of error to catch some lighting

[DrivenMind]

eh I was aware of the nasty weather, and I just went out to get a six pack, and took my camera with me, in the event that I felt compelled to take some pictures. the storm got worse, and I felt compelled.

Not enough -ev(underexposure) which makes your overexposed still too bright.


This is a 5exp shot -2, -1, 0, +1, +2

[mushroom_toy]

IM just using a point and shoot so I can only do a shot inbetween -2-2..hmm so maybe I should set it to more frames?

Oh I think I got it, I think ill try a five set one next tiem I take some pics.

Crow Creek which flows into Seed Lake, shot from my vehicle 5exp shot

[mushroom_toy]

SO you think shooting a -2, -1, 0, 1, and 2 ev would render better results? Ive heard the 3 set shots worked pretty good, but i think ill try a 5.

More the merrier! 5 is usually the best. I will shoot 9 sometimes, depends if there is a lot of shadows or not.

If its bright outside then just make sure your -ev is low enough. shoot one at -2 and see what it looks like, then maybe try a -2.5 and see what that does. Just as long as you can bring all the overexposed to a resonable exposure...

How are you processing these?

That seems to fit the description.

They're, actually, quite affordable. No more than your average L lense [canon].

Yeah mine only goesup as high as 2 and as low as -2 so anything in between I can do, unfortunately since its just a p&s. Im using Photoshop Cs2 9.0 for em, then slightly editing the curves a little, but im not doing as much as I want to.

Are you loading the photos through Automate, Merge to HDR, load the photos, come back to main screen click on image, then mode, then 16bit, it will open a box, and you want to click on I think its called Local adaptation, your photo will be all out of wack, click on the histogram link in that box, click bottom of histogram and slide the bottom over to the start of the shadow, anything after that is up to you and what you think looks good. Everything I just said is through CS3 so I hope its close to CS2....

Is that what you were doing? I wasnt happy with the results of HDR photos though PS though!

Yeah Ill have to try that. I was only going as far as after loading the images to merge int hdr, and then editing the curves slightly. Mauybe thats why it didnt turn out quite right either.

WOot WoOt, going to pick up an 18-55 VR this afternoon. I can't wait.

Yep, here's another shot from the same location. I did not size it right when I uploaded it so if you want to see a big version click here


Besides the small amount of city lights through the windows it was completely dark. My flashes were hissing and squealing after this shot. It took 4 tries to get a picture that I felt had the correct lighting. I started out at the far left of the frame with 2 Nikon SB25 flashes. I walked parallel with the train alternating the flashes as I walked. After that I walked back aiming the flashes up. Camera settings

I think he was actually talking about the 18-55 kit lens not the VR.

Yeah I know, I just figured I would chime in. It's basically the kit lens when I turn VR off anyway.

[EJ_Allmota]
