Non DSLR pics

[Xavier]

Let's showcase our Non DSLR Pics. They could be clicked by a P&S or even a cellphone camera.

I'll start this thread with one pic and everyone can join. :)
This is to prove that the guy behind the camera is more important than the camera itself.

Here's my entry

Is that a photograph or a painting?

A couple of my first macros, shot by a Canon S3 IS. :)


Those Macros are with your S3???!!! Amazing stuff Aryan. I did not know that the S3 could shoot like that.

2nd Question: is the eye a self-portrait?

[Aryan]

Those Macros are with your S3???!!! Amazing stuff Aryan. I did not know that the S3 could shoot like that.

2nd Question: is the eye a self-portrait?

:D Thanks! Yes, the S3 can do pretty amazing stuff, really. For that matter, any P&S/ digital camera can shoot some amazing macros. In most of the cases, people just don't try and hence think that macro is only capable through specialized equipment.

Yes, that eye shot is a self portrait! :D Ha Ha!

Some brilliant posts/photographs by members in this thread. Some of you guys can take on photographic life with just a P&S.

Wow anvancy! You are creating stories out of banal objects from nowhere... good to see you revive this thread. I will start contributing more once I have some more time on hand. Lets see about the others... almost everybody has a p&s but they do not seem to put in the effort for obvious reasons.

people have to wash utensils,clothes for one time meal.people have to lift heavy weight boxes for one time meal.people have to pull and push carts for one time meal.

the next time you have your meal,think of those who dont even get to eat one time!

I liked the 2nd one the best. The 1st one looks too stark for my taste. I know it kinda typifies your style which I am seeing for the past year or so. I am not saying that I dislike it... but there is something that is not fully cooperating with my senses. But the 2nd one is very interestingly done!

[anvancy-(macro analyst)]

i do agree.

that is not one of my best productions.its really surreal.this time i boosted it.

the second is a long exposure.4sec.

How do you get colours like that? Is it your sensor? Or is it your PP?

Nice ambiance captured there.

You shot in Auto WB. However I feel that had you shifted your white balance to cloudy, there would have been less green bias.

[shutterbug]

Ken da, yes it was shot in auto wb. But again the green bias is because I increased saturation and vividity of colors a bit.
Next time will also try with cloudy wb. I actually I had it on for a lot of shots, as these parts were always cloudy last coupla weeks. I must have gone back to auto wb sometime. he he!

Nice composition but the PP needs more work. See the purple fringes in the tree on left side.
CS3 gives an option to fix this actually.

I think you were standing in the middle of water to take this shot?

Amazing photo titus.

Thank you, Bandhav! But which one are you referring to? Billiwala ya river wala?

Bibudesh, I am still learning the ropes of PP. I will post the original image soon.

Thank you everyone for your appreciations. I am still learning and would certainly look forward to your help and guidances.

How does CS3 do it? Can you put that up on the software manipulation thread somewhere...

[Xavier]

How does CS3 do it? Can you put that up on the software manipulation thread somewhere...

Its very easy. Filter->Distort->Lens Correction and play with the two sliders for Red/Cyan fringing and Blue/Yellow fringing.

Here's what I could manage. Hope Titus doesn't mind :)

Very good composition.

I'd have used a bit more DoF for that shot, but given the current one, try increasing contrast and push the greens a bit more.

[Xavier]

WOW, thanks for the compliments guys! :)
@Anvancy: How to do that???

Crop it in the 16:9 (or even wider) format. It will give the image a better feel. The photo is already good and the only qualm I have with it, is the composition in which the horizon is too centered.

Nice shot, as Synn said, Increase the contrast and decrease the levels, it should look even better. I wish those people weren't present in the bokeh. :(

i was saying in the line of this..

http://i29.tinypic.com/2nqv09f.jpg

or you can do your own flavour to it. i deliberately kept the brightness down since LCD and CRTs have clashes when it comes to brightness.i dont know whether you have a LCD or a CRT.majority here are now LCDiesd..i m not..so settings differ.

the shot has huge potential in it.i cant work much on a small 500pixel shot.thats why you can see clippings in the sky..

try it for yourself.

Download GIMP. The UI is a bit fiddly, but it's free and is pretty powerful.
I'm pretty comfy with GIMP actually, use it for work related stuff! But not much or rather never for photos.. :)

Question is, can we achieve in GIMP the same results as PS?

[synn]

AFAIK, Powerslave uses GIMP and as you all know, his PP is top notch.

I may be wrong, but GIMP doesn't support 16 bit files. But I doubt if that'd be a limitation to 99% of people.

[hitanshu]

It supports CRW through ufRaw, if that's what you're hinting at. But the interface is intimidating even for ex-geeks :D

3rd is adulthood----experienced,matured..know what happens..have a family to look after.

4th is old age---
energy is less.your children well settled now,living as a pensioner??

5th and last stage is death---

We would like to learn the secret of that particular workflow! Hats off there!

[Aryan]

@Rio: That is a superb shot; especially taking into consideration it's clicked using a camera phone! Twelve mega-pixels crammed into a cell-phone!! *Poof*

@Anvancy: Please do share the workflow behind that brilliant product shot; that reflection is especially what I LOVED. How did you get it? :)

[anvancy-(macro analyst)]

thanks all.

though some people are saying the reflection which is falling on the watch is kind of distracting.ill be working on the specular highlight issue on that.you have to control the amount of light which is falling on a very high reflective surface.

the idea for this shot is very very simple.

take a subject.which in my case was a watch.
against a wall (ie your temp studio)just attach plain white paper.stick it,bend and keep it your way.what we want is seamless paper.

so now you have white paper in the back,white paper which is down the subject.

gaining the reflection is a simple task.just go to a stationery store and ask for "transparency sheets".these sheets were used on OVH projectors until LCD ones came.these sheets act as glass.so your reflection is complete.

fire off camera flash at various angles and distances you like.in my case i fired the flash from a shoot through umbrella,one to camera left and one above bouncing the flash through the umbrella.

merged both shots together and you have this.

you have a zillion ways to actually showcase a shot.infact after reading strobist and trying out off camera flash,the off camera truly starts to showcase the depth of a shot.on camera provides flash on axis.off camera opens up the imaginable possibilities of off x y z axis.

for a moment put your saved lens money on a flash and see the magic.

I personally would have pulled the shuttle's exposure half stop down, but that is purely a personal preference. It looks great as it is. :)

Thanks PS.

my intention of this shot was to make things seamless white.

setup is very simple.

white paper in the background.
white paper underneath.transparency paper under the shuttle cock.
two homemade reflectors aluminum sheet ones kept to the left and right of the shuttle cock acting as fillers.
one VIVITAR 285HV at 1/4th power fired through umbrella.
0.77sec F10.
the umbrella was moved fast from left to right during the exposure.so the flash was triggered two times through the umbrella.

hope it helps.

Anvancy

[powerslave]

That's a pretty thoughtful and interesting setup. I like the transparency idea for the reflection.

Do you have/mind sharing a SOOC shot? If not it's okay, I just want to see how that turned out SOOC.

Good stuff. :) You need more powerful flashes.

I now have two beauties.the vivitar 283 and the 285HV.both are powerful enough.

if i had shot that at 1/2 power then it would have overexposed the shot.tried that before going down to 1/4th.

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2680/4364022113_5c69b5aaf2.jpg

Setup is the same as of the Shuttle Cock.Do note that i have increased both brightness and exposure in post processing to give it the high key feel.so it can be toned down upon one's suitable needs.

Cool man, that's one way of looking at it, I would want to leave as little to the PP as possible, but I guess there's enough room to play with the exposure in these shots. I wonder what difference in quality would show up if the exposure's got SOOC versus underexposing + push in PP.

Viny: Nice shots, especially the first one, but the frame, text and the crop are killing it for me. The first one would really stand out.

I like how one can spice things up in PP relative to SOOC and then saying the shot is good.editing gives you the next tool to take the shot to the next level IF done right.

Under my conditions,i need editing to bring out the level of the shot at par with the major DSLR users on net.if you have a close look on this forum,look at the posts made in the DSLR photo duel and the views that keep increasing.the perception according to many is photography=DSLR.I have to bring my work atleast to the standard level to make it look appealing for me and others.

My limitation is my aperture.I can only stop down till F11.as you and I know,shutter speed controls the ambient light,aperture the intensity of the flash.my F11 starts to give edgy areas if not done correctly.so that makes me go till F10.F11 under emergencies.:p

next,the camera LCD shows you one thing since well its a LCD.you put that shot and see thru a CRT and you have different black and color levels.so keeping all this in mind,having room and PP is better rather than sticking to SOOC.my view.

I too agree to this completely. There is HDR, Stacking etc. etc. for the RAW files of DSLRs to give them even better outputs but in our case the limitations and the PP are all that we have ;)

@Avancy some great images there sharp and bright.

@Viny: Loved your photos too, its certainly smoking. 2nd one's color tone is too good. Can you share some more info on the setup and lighting?

[Viny]

@debangshu: I am not a pro, hence there was nothing pro like stuff to do the settings. All i did was create a black background (used my laptop bag :p as background), got a couple of Incense/Aggarbati made the room dark and made my table top tublelight glow up right on top of the incese smoke, brought my hand into the smoke and as the fumes/smoke accomodated and passed over, i took the clicks :) Simple as that. I was fiddling arround with my camera and there was no specific configs done, just few playing arround with focus, exposure and frame rate etc.

[anvancy-(macro analyst)]

I too agree to this completely. There is HDR, Stacking etc. etc. for the RAW files of DSLRs to give them even better outputs but in our case the limitations and the PP are all that we have ;)



one point i will make to ur para is upper prosumers do offer RAW,and bracketing options.since prosumer sensor+processor are not fast enough JPG bracketing ie AEB is there but not RAW.(example my cam provides raw.the buffer speed is a snail 3.5seconds)

stacking is a wholly after processing item.

its like this.the prosumers cant have all the world in a bridge.if they start putting bigger sensor,better processor engine(ie more technically advanced considering prosumers)fast lens then the cost increases.when the cost increases people start saying that I will put in DSLR instead of this since I will get better results etc.(Fuji S100FS is the perfect example.)

so there is always a fight against versatility Vs quality.many take bridge cams for occasional vacation purposes or a second back up cam.here in our country its more of a status issue.seen it.felt it.

my only point regarding versatility is that you are getting a complete system through which u can "at least" make your way up.once you are up u can make this as a back up cam.

That said i m dying for some money so that i can buy my D.:p

Anvancy

A canon G11, Fuji S100fs and many more P&Ss costs more than entry level DSLRs. The ratio of status to segment (P&S and DSLR) seems to be going against your theory.

For me a status is directly proportional to the intelligence in image, to the hell with any tom, dick or harry equipment used in any tom,dick or harry mode, processed in any tom, dick or harry software.

OT- Not meant for argument- what I know is a Prosumer is a pro+consumer segment camera and a D300/50D etc. fits into this segment. Full framers are pro and D60/1000D/D5000 or s8500/f50/s100fd/cybershots/powershots etc. are consumers.

camera companies through marketing decide what is compact,compact plus,bridge and next to DSLR.so another way to look at it.

consumers are compacts.point and shoot.point and shoot and forget.
prosumers in non dslr are for those like me who want to start of but dont have the necessary funds.i know that i cant finance my lens payment so what do i do?buy a bridge.it is totally personal and changes from person to person.

@hitanshu:i hope you noticed that i got a vivitar 285HV.:)

Wow thats some hot views. Yes, the way compacts are coming its getting serious but they cannot be any answer to a pro DSLRs. I am also trying my best to arrange my finances for one but surely my H7 will remain similarly dear to me as it is now.

@Viny: neither am I any pro but trying to learn every day something new and try it out. Thanks for sharing your brilliant idea.

[Viny]

@debangshu: No thanks dear, I are here to share and learn :)

Nice...But wouldnt it been nicer if it was done in PS...its a little more work but its worth it...:p
And i think maybe if little more of the bottom part of the glass was included it would have been better...

Thanks For your comments, I am still to figure out how to use PS effectively, will try to search for some tutorials.

!!!!NEWBIE ALERT !!!!

Out of Curiosity, I want to know what makes this shot awesome for you? I am new to photography so probably dont have the eye to look at the way pros or experts might look at the given shot. Could you help me in understanding what makes the above shot "Awesome" or "Great Shot"? As a newbie to me its more like under exposed shot or a shot with a some desi filter.

I am no way undermining the efforts of the Photographer, so kindly take it as a newbie/noobs question.

There must be something great about that shot that i am missing to pickup. :(

Good one Cyclops, this reminds me of an old shot that i took from my phone camera (2MP). Not great one, but similar one. Those chimenys always look like cloud making machines :D

Yes, I tried to remove the noise, but wasn't too successful. :(

@Viny: You chimney pic is nice, except that I didn't like the electric wires overhead criss-crossing. My $0.02

@lovish09: Beautiful shot, i like the color tone, brightness and overall fell of the image.
@cyclops: Chimeny shot was just an on the move click, not a planned shot, its just another click. Cannal shot is good one, noise and over saturation spoils it a bit.

[Technocrat]

@lovish09: nice pic & as Ken said some cropping would have enhanced the pic :)

I like it this way better. Selective coloring works only in a few situations, and IMHO this one doesn't look like a good candidate. But who knows right?

Well, wanted to include the OOF flower in the background...and i thought that the subject was standing out and the other elements in the background wasn't distracting enough so didnt go for selective colouring...:)
