selective coloring?

 

So should I delete the pic to save this thread the embarassment or keep it up to show how shameful a 15 minute photoshop hack job looks and no one should do it in the future? ha.

Shiyet...I need to get back to work.

 

Your "selective coloring" was about as bad a tctctc's "focus on random things" photoshoots.

Pick one thing to highlight instead of a million smaller things. It really distracts the viewer.

Here's one I did for my friend. (she just gave me the photo, so only the editing is my work)

 

Yeah, despite the fact that I've only had my camera for less than a month, there was dust on my sensor. Sucks I had to spend $65 to get it cleaned. Wish I could do it myself, but knowing me I'd probably eff it up more. I don't even know how it got in. I don't even change my lens. I only have one...What would I change it to anyway???

 

LOL, butcher the girls more-so than their natural butchering.

 

Going to my friends wedding type of deal, any suggestions on taking some pics ? I have a XSi the only time I put it on manual settings is when I am at the tracking takin pics of cars. I have no idea about indoor stills any tips or links I can read up on ?

 

Tripod.

Odds are, the lighting isn't going to be the best inside, so without a tripod, flash-less shots will be near impossible. I'm not very good with flash compensation, but I'm sure that could help some if the flash is overpowering (if you need to use the flash).

 

Pwnage Ill bring it

 

2 recent photos...my tC



my favorite season! fall..

 

Just wondering if a sony cybershot dsc-h5 would count for this thread? New to photography here and just kinda gettin started with it.

 

Bluhh, they look like they should be working on the corner not at a car show.

 

HDR...

 

^ That's not HDR. That's just HDR style editing.

No. It's not an SLR, it's a point and shoot.

 

is there a how to on HDR?

 

Google it, you'll find something.

Basically, you take multiple shots from the same location of the same thing. It's pretty much impossible without a tripod. 1 shot needs to be under exposed, 1 needs to have normal exposure, and 1 needs to be over exposed (equal to the under exposed shot). Exposure compensation helps a lot with this. Then you use software to combine the images.

Also, HDR shooting isn't just taking a shot and doing the editing. This is something a lot of people don't understand, and I made the same mistake when I first started to try to do HDR shots. HDR = High Dynamic Range. The shot needs to have a vast range of colors and have great emphasis on shadows and light.

This is HDR.

 

damn, my eyes hurt after looking at that!

 

nice, but it looks like something from the night before xmas (the movie, but i didn't want to look up how they spell it)

 

What program do you use for HDR? I downloaded PhotoMatix but I can't get the darn thing to work.

What ISO's did you shoot at to get your photo to turn out like that?

 

HDR isn't created from different ISO levels. You have to go in and change the exposure settings. It looks like a number line on our cameras. +/- looking like thing. It should go from -2 to +2. I have no idea how to change it though and I left my manual booklet at home.

 

Robert, I will punch you in the face then! Haha, you told me to change the ISO when I was chatting with you online about it! THAT EXPLAINS WHY MY "HDR" CAME OUT THE WAY IT DID! Pfffffft!
