Spectral

titaniumss

He heard that.....

REIGN SS

OMG, that is possibly the greatest picture I have ever seen.

titaniumss

lol thank you! It would've been better if he cooperated, but alas, the life of a model lol.

OniMirage

there is totally a wealth of jokes that can be made from that sentence

cruisn

well... I wll try to impress. lol.first try with my new 55-250mm lens. no filter casue there still on order might of helped since I was shooting white on white on white... lol. pleasze tell me what i did right/wrong I am still learning. lol



got a new program: here is what I got out of it. lol


and another one I did:

OniMirage

it's a very washed out scene simply cus of where you were. I think the only thing that could have improved the image would be to increase the contrast so at least the tree limbs stand out a bit more from the snow. Perhaps a CPL would have helped but I think post processing would be your only choice. Though not being there I am not quite sure what it looked like and the exif data is missing from the image so we have no clue what settings you used.

titaniumss

lol I would call you a pervert but I would just be describing myself as well

Spectral

crusin.

Those images are very flat. One thing you can do in PP is auto adjust the levels and then adjust the curves of the picture to pump the picture up a little bit.

here are some quick fixes to the 2 of the HDRs.

titaniumss

For starters......it's not a good HDR picture. WAAAAY too apparent and the halos are ridiculous. It's so blown out that it should've been kept as a normal photo but properly exposed. That's what annoys me with this HDR fad that every beginner wants to do, it needs to look somewhat natural to pull it off well. Very few do.

cruisn

thanks for the tips man, this is my first try at it. so they should get better. I am heading out tomorrow to get a few more shots aroudn the area, we have had a fresh snowfall lastnight.

okay, so wahts wrong with my first picture of the train tracks that is an hdr shot without any major effects. I think it looks rather natural

this one:

Spectral

If you have a tripod use it and get very long exposures. I just did some shooting in our last snow storm here. The lighting can really add some nice characteristics to the photos.

crusin....that picture is ok but it is very much too dark and too flat. You would want to adjust the levels and curves on that to bring out the contrast between the white ground and the dark trees.

OniMirage

This is what photoshop had to say about the image,

sick06cobalt

alright im here now to subscribe... lol I got some shots printed from last year. they turned out really well.. oh well time to frame and hang...

OniMirage

frame and hang? do that on your own time it's time to crop and post

sick06cobalt

You all have seen most of them, Im also working on a buisness card right now. Something simple and easy.

OniMirage

im gonna be making one here this weekend myself. I did my high schools ID cards during my junior year the one tip I have for you is go big ... as in DPI. 300 PPI is photo quality which is equal to 300dpi on a pro printer, 600dpi on a lazer printer and 1200dpi on an inkjet. For the most part business cards are held at arms length so you can get away with 150ppi as long as you use a solid font but otherwise I would use 300.

sick06cobalt

lol... you act as if i dont know this nah its good I have my Photoshop set at 300dpi standard.

Spectral

Business cards you will want set at no lower than 200dpi. I set mine at 300dpi when i make them.

I freaking want my 40D already dammit haha.

OniMirage

My first draft ID got printed like just over a week before it was going to be submitted and I nearly **** my pants when I saw how crappy it looked and realized I had to come up with higher quality images and practically redo all the graphics aside from just adjusting the fonts and this was in a computer art class so I had little time. I wish I knew where the blank was they printed for me so I could post it I will have to find it.

titaniumss

Underexposed, lack of very interesting content, could use a better setting. I think going back to that place again at sunrise when it's clear out, and shooting it from a different perspective would serve as a pretty nice shot
