"Photo of the day" - June 2008

[taylorwilsdon]

Shot this guy out my window earlier. I liked the final look of this. Used the film processing option in photoshop, killed the blue saturation levels and worked with the curves. End result:

You can see that the 30d can still produce some great detail even when overprocessed, with camera shake and shot as a JPG originally...
You can read the metro sign across the street.

Slide film is damn annoying to scan.

Here ya go, a quick job. It is hard to brighten it up, because of the lack of light in some of the cracks and crevasis lol, so there is not much you can do ( again, i think you did this intentionally though for the type of photo). Great photo I really like the old fashioned feel of it and composition, like an old farm!
Hope I helped, if you need anything else let me know, id be happy to.

I actually prefer Everythingisnt's picture darker, like the original. The green light though should either be removed completely... OR, brigtened in itself. Why? Because it's a kind of contrast of an older man, in a tool shed doing something manual.. but he still has his mobile phone with him

I really like it! Its pretty grainy, but its great.

great pic. looks like a cross between ponch from CHIPs and the bad terminator guy

A strong portrait (yet, despite all the trappings of machisco - helmet, shades, leather jacket - the guy's got the face of a choirboy. Look at the mouth).

Love this

Very neat image, but if you have photoshop cs3, i would suggest using layers, and exposing the bottem a little more, because its under exposed

Thanks for the comment. I don't have any of the post processing software, at least yet. The image was taken at about 8-8:15 pm so there was not a lot of natural light left. Plus, I don't have a tripod. I think that is going to be my next purchase camera wise. I seem to have the need for one more than I thought. At least to get some fun low light images without any blur

A tripod will make a lot of difference. OK, it's not 'sexy', like a new camera, or new lens, but, over the years, it will probably do more to develop your 'photographic eye' than any other accessory.

No need to compromise in choice of aperture/shutter speed...

No need to worry if you can hold a camera steady at 1/30sec...

Never take a blurred pic again (unless you want it blurred)...

Keep photographing long after the other snappers have put their cameras away...

Have fun during the 'magic hour', after the sun has set...

'Hold' a composition, exactly as you want it, as you keep shooting...

Slooooow down... and give yourself the chance to really see what's happening 'out there'...

You'll get plenty of advice about what tripod to buy... especially about the wisdom of spending a good deal of $$$ on one. Well, I reckon the best tripod is the one that's small enough to carry... so you have it when you need it...

I like the photo Taylorwilson

Here is another from the same setting as my last shot:

Wow

These are some really amazing pictures guys. Here's my try.



Camera: Nikon D60
Exposure: 1/3 sec
Aperture: f/4.5
Focal length: 85mm
Iso Speed: 100
Lense: AF-S Nikkor 55-200mm

ertemplin, that photo is nice. I think in B&W it could be even better, it would completely change the mood of the photo, it would be more like the lonely teddy bear who hasn't been used because its owner grew up.

Really impressed with the color and definition in that whole scene... you should photograph more animals! Cute puppy. Yours?
