Light Painting

Hi there! How are you all doing? I'm posting some light paining photos I made a while ago I decided you should take a look at. Of course, they're nothing too serious, since they're not exactly light paintings- just some random shakings of my light source. It's sort of a little experimenting I've done with exposure time, a dark room and a flashlight. Enjoy!

Wallpaper #2

 

Decided to make another wallpaper from a photo I took some days ago for you widescreen users out there. It's the same resolution as the previous one- 1920x1200. Enjoy!

Photoshop Is Game To You?

Yes, it is. It's like Sim City, only without the natural disasters. In this particular blog post I show you photographs, which have gone trough slightly more severe digital manipulation, unlike some of my older posts where it is rather lacking. As you can see (those of you, who are familiar with the program itself), adjustment layers and I are good friends. Other than that filters and some of the tools come useful in the process.

The Sky

In case you don't get to see it too often, here are some photographs of the goddamn sky. Enjoy!

 

 

 

This one counts, right?

 

 

The last two suck, I know.

HDR Photos

As I mentioned in my very first post, I am a photography enthusiast. Amateur, of course. I like to experiment and try out new shit.

HDR, for example, is something I wanted to try out the first time I found out about it. The problem is, many of my first tries resulted in complete and total failure. That is because My DSLR camera doesn't have a bracketing feature (the ability to make multiple shots, each with different aperture/shutter speed values) and a proper HDR merge in Photoshop requires no camera movement whatsoever. So I needed either a tripod or a steady flat surface to place the camera on and extra caution when messing with the settings to alter the exposure.

This one is far from perfect but I'd call it my first successful one. Camera was simply placed on the desk with it's lens lifted up by a stack of books to get a proper angle. Took me only 4 shots to merge.

For this time I used a steady tripod and was made with, I think, 7 shots. Considering it's a night photograph, the most exposed picture had a time value of more than 30 second, as I tried too keep the ISO low.


Both photos were taken with the Canon EOS 550D and the single lens which comes with the camera- a 18-55mm 1:3.5-5.6 EFS with AF and an image stabilizer.
