Wow, that is one creepy house!

I think it's actually the side entrance to a dormitory (Pforzheimer) if my memory serves me.

edit: the OP beat me to it!

 

[VictorM]

Wow...atmosphere. I love it

Thanks. I've also been enjoying your not-so-ordinary photos of the ordinary

Slow Down

I want to add a frame to it.


But is there software or anything. Because I want a nice even one (I'll prolly screw it up though in photoshop)

Victor M. how do you do it. photoshop or other

Best way to add a frame to a photo...

Print it out, preferably on luster paper. Buy a frame that is about three inches larger than the print. Then cut matboard to fill that extra space. Hang it on the wall.

Framed, without the gimmicked online "extra pixels surrounding it" look.

I'm just adding the "gimmicked online" frame using photoshop (enlarge the *canvas* size with white background, and then resize again with black background, there's probably other ways, but this is simple). Though if I was going to print it out, I wouldn't do any of that, opting to prepare it something like FrankieTDouglas suggested.

36mm DX (54mm FF)
ISO 125
Photomatix Pro 2.4 Beta
Composite of 5 shots (-2, -1, 0 +1, +2 EV)

Photomatix now includes an anti-ghosting feature that works remarkably well to remove movement between frames. The boy in the left foreground and all the people behind him appeared multiple times in the previous rendition, but now appear only once.

One of the best Taj Mahal shots I've seen in a while.
That anti-ghosting feature seems to work really good too.

very nice! I am drawn to your pic...I like it. well done!

Sorry for the late reply
But... Thank you very much.

If I may offer some critique- I like the screw detail, but the blown highlights on the knob and pickups really bother me, the eye is drawn naturally to the brightest spots in an image, and this one begs to go down the strings, except you don't get past the middle pickup because of (a) the extreme white and (b) the strings are too out of focus to lead your eyes into the picture. I'd love to see a reshoot with more depth of field so the strings don't get too blurred to lead and more light down the fingerboard and less blown highlights.

Maybe directional light from the camera end down the fingerboard would help, I'm not sure, but the image has sooooo much potential.

 

[Grimace]

was there also a photoshop effect used on the Taj mahal?

More inner-piano shots. I enjoyed the colors of this one.

Incredible pic, and this version is much better than the last one! Was the bracketing done automatically in the camera? (did you tell it to snap the 5 shots with EV compensations or did you do it manually?)

I like it, but it just blurs to much for me too fast I wish this shot would lead farther out then just start to come out of focus at the edges.


Hey but thats just me. Still I like it

I really just was playing around with the new cam I'm not too used to it yet, so it'll take a few months for my pictures to get up to speed...

Anyway, I did take a few more of the guitar. Here's another:

That shot's fingerboard with the other shot's screws and with the knob/frets toned down about a stop or so would be awesome.

Thanks for sharing!

Anti-ghosting was once again applied to reduce blur compared with the previous rendition. This series was shot standing up on an unanchored boat without a tripod.

Thanks Yakamoto and dllavaneras. Auto exposure-bracketing was used in combination with high-speed continuous shooting (Ch)...perfect for HDR.

 

[Plymouthbreezer]

ksz, do you have this last shot in full resolution? I'd love to have this for a desktop.

b0tt094, thanks! I understand, and do think a little less blur would help lead the eye through the photo. Vignetting has been purposefully added, as was denaturation - going for the vintage look.

PM me with your email address and I'll send it to you. Some of the litter along the river's edge and on the water might make it less than ideal for a desktop, but you're welcome to judge for yourself.
