The Photography thread

[marcs_sp20]

Hey guys,

Since most peps actually use camera's of there cars and whatnot, so thought best to make up a thread dedicated to taking photos, hints, tips etc...

Anyways I have a couple questions:

How do I find out from a photo I have taken, the properties I have used? is it possible?

for example:

http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm43/marcs_sp20/SP20%20pics/IMG_2154.jpg

Also, what settings should I use to get a clear night time photo, as using auto is just crap :p All my night pics come out grainy, abeit being in crap lighting....

Example:

Cheers

YAY about time this came up :p

hmm with night time photo's its hard to do.. as very new to this game and have only really been playing with my camera 4 a good year now, i've found that it has to be a good mix of iso and appeture...

u don't want to much light in, but u also don't want a small iso as it gets very hmmmm how can u put it... smudgey... u know the oppersite to sharp...

i've got heaps of photos on FB where i practice night sports photos at the wednesday night drifts here in brisbane. its good 4 practice but i have the camera set up the best now and i don't really need to change it.....

now 4 still night time shots.. u wand a good lighting. as i have found in some cases that good lighting make the photo not a goot flash.....

in the photo below its with no flash what so eva...... and on a tripod.

For low lighting you need to increase your exposure time. Long exposure times make for blurry images if you don't have a steady hand.

As for the image you posted (the first) it was **** with a 1 second exposure, 3.5 fstop at iso 200. According to windows, im not on the mac atm so don't have access to mah photo tools.

This is kind of a lot of information but my original edit got lost when Firefox crashed and cant be ****ed typing it all up again so:
http://forums.atomicmpc.com.au/index.php?showtopic=72

EDIT: Marc the problem you have with your 2nd picture is mainly the amount of light behind the object IMO.

[project.r.racing]

as Kris said, exposure time = good night pics. too much high iso will make you images noisy.

[phildough]

Marc to find the properties on a pic right click and choose properties then click on the details tab.

Hi Guys just thought I would put my 2 bobs worth in here,
I have been a Pro Photographer for the last 27 years and will check this forum often and hope to answer as many questions or help to fix as many problems as I can.
I might start by explaining what the main camera controls are, for those that already know please bear with me.
All photos are a combination of the three controls ISO, Aperture and Shutter speed to get the CORRECT EXPOSURE.
ISO stands for international standards organisation and it indicates the (speed)/sensitivity of the (film-- sorry old terminology) digital sensor CCD and each time you double the number the camera can take the same photo in half as much light problem here is if you start going over about 400 iso you start to introduce electronic noise to the sensor its sort of like static on a radio also the higher the iso the more grainy the pictures look. (just like it used to in the good old days of Film)
Apperture is the size diameter of the hole in the lens that lets the light through onto the sensor. Here the smaller the number the bigger the hole.
Apperture is used to control the depth of field(how much of the photo is in focus)
The smaller the number the smaller the depth of field(focus) . Its how you get the soft out of focus fussy backgrounds but the subject is sharp. Using a larger number eg f22 is how you get everything in the photo from foreground to background sharp. the depth of field is 1/3rd in front of the point of focus and 2/3rds behind the point of focus
Shutter speed is the amount of time that the shutter is open during the exposure and you use this control to stop movement of the subject eg if the car is moving you need to use the faster shutter speeds to get a sharp car or it will look blurey.
if you are using a shutter speed slower than 1/60th of a second you really should use a tripod night or day this stops the camera from moving. also if you are using telephoto lenses you really cant hold it steady enough at a shutterspeed less than the focal length of the lens. eg 300mm lens 1/300th of a second shutter speed
So my tip for night time photography would be this USE A TRIPOD, set the ISO to highest setting before your camera starts to introduce the grainey noise effect about ISO 400, decide how much of the photo you want to be sharp and set the appropriate apperture f number (small number=small area of focus, large number=large area of focus)
NOW because you are using a tripod the camera isnt going to move and neither is the parked car so you can use a shutter speed that is as long as you need to get the correct exposure could be a couple of seconds, can even be a couple of minutes if that is what is needed....
Marc the problem with the dark car against the light background is the light sensor is being tricked and averaging out the total amount of light in the photo
try zooming in to the photo so the car fills the view through the eyepiece or on the LCD press the shutter down halfway and keep it half pressed(this is when it takes the light reading) then zoom out to get the picture you want then press shuutter the rest of the way to take the photo.
Look the best thing we have now is DIGITAL unlimited amount of pictures so experiment it costs you nothing but time. When I was learning we had to pay for every single photo good or bad sharp or blurry under or overexposed and we had to wait to see results.
Sorry for the long post but I hope it helps.

thanks for this fly. iv had my camera for nearly 6 months now, and i learned how to use it in the 1st few hours by taking close to 100 photoes and seeing what each setting does. i forget now where the ISO setting are, i think its set to auto and i only play with aperture and shutter speed. i love my tripod and taking photos of the night sky or anything at night with low light and very long exposure (5" plus, few times used bulb setting to get a very exposed shot of just the night sky and even caught a plane moving in it) :) one thing that buggs me is the lenses.. there should really be a shutter that covers the mirror compartment as soon as the lens is released, not even removed just released. i got a massive dust flake on my CMOS sensor and i spent over 100 geting it cleaned (i did the cleaning my self, the 100 was for pure alcohole, sensor swabs etc..) i mean its not even hard to get a secondary shutter in there, same as the shutter for the sensor but just infront og the merror.

[RustyKaos]

I love long exposure shots taken at night. Took some awesome shots of the brisbane river with a D90 and was really impressed with the quality. :D

[Flyblown]

Yeah rusty I love the night shots too. Ive got a few nice shots of my gtr taken at night just using the light from the front door of my house the headlights and the interior lights of the car during a lightning storm I was using long exposures hoping for a lightning strike during the long exposure It was really frustrating every time the shutter closed the lightning would strike big only got a few small strikes when the shutter was open. kept happening for about half an hour. oh well there is always photoshop
70NYD there used to be a setting for mirror lockup on most of my old film cameras now only found on high end pro cameras it is a pain that all of them dont have it. It used to be used when taking macro photos as the miror moving up actually shakes the camera and with little tiny subjects even tiny movement would show so you would use mirror lockup then wait 30 secs till all vibrations had stoped then use a cable release to fire the shutter.

Just move the watermark or make a watermark down the bottom Photo by Chewyryce or something mate, will make for a better photo without taking from the awesomness.

While in Toowoomba for the weekend, I had the opportunity to shoot some action shots of my to be brother in-laws soccer game, I'll post some of them tonight ;)

I think I have come to the conclusion I need the best of light to get any decent shots, but cant fault my larger point & shoot ;)

So these are just a couple taken from sitting on the ground around 12pm, so not too glarey, but then the photo of the Torana was way too late/glarey, I had to hide the reflection of the sun behind the bonnet or hell broke loose :o

Taking action shots while already in focus is hard at times, especially with kids :p Wouldnt be a problem with DSLR's i'd assume :rolleyes:

[Flyblown]

Hi Guys/Gals
One of the most important things I learned Is Viewpoint! most people View the world from about 5'6" and people hold the camera up to their eye while standing to take pictures. It is the photos that are taken from non standard viewpoints that attract the viewer because it gives them a view of the object that is not usually seen eg birds eye view, worms eye view, like the shot of the Torana its taken from about 2'6" or 3' it gives a different view of the car that most people dont ever see cause they dont get on their knees or "sit on the ground" to look at a car (nice shot marc) (also great shot of the Brissy river Chewyrice I would have been pretty happy to have taken that one)

[Flyblown]

Hey bourbon L series lenses are the ultimate I own a Canon 35-350 L zoom and a Canon matched 2x tele converter Gives me wide to super-tele with just 1 lens and a converter yep 35 to 700mm just no auto focus when using the converter. With Lenses Buy the most expensive piece of GLASS you can afford after all the camera is just the little black box at the end of the EYE!! Its sort of like a cheep chinese turbo Vs a real Garrett you really do get what you pay for!!
Cheers

I agree, my GF has just got a Canon 5D MK II and got a L series 18-135mm lens with it, it has to be one of the best lenses I have ever seen and the quality of the pictures is amazing, also the quality of the video is unreal.
But it is 21 mega-pixel, which kinda blows my new 14.1 mega-pixel Canon Ixus 210 Touch out of the water.
I couldn't be bothered with a another new advanced point and shoot/quasi SLR as half the time I never take it with me cause of their size and it takes too long to go though all the settings to get them right.
And if I want a nice camera I can just beg the GF.

[phildough]

If anyone is interested I can get my hands on a few Nikon D80 SLR cameras

They are 10.2 Megapixel and come with 2 lenses a 18-55mm and a 70-300mm
They are in very good condition and come in their boxes with all manuals.
They are 2-3 years old and as new.
I can get them for approx $600 each if anyone is interested PM me.

he took like photos with the 2 remote flashes in diffrentspots then combined them in photoshop :)

well i got a new macro lens filter few days ago :)
i payed about $20 for it and a wide angle lense filter as well. i think its a little better than paying 400 for the "best" macro lens stand alone anyway in a money vs result kind of way ;)
here is a ant that just wouldnt stay still.. i mean fcuk thye move fast, but i managed to stop this one for only a second and a bit :p
http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee177/70NYD/random%20crap/DSC_00043-1.jpg

and here is a spider that can fit on your thumbnail
http://i228.photobucket.com/albums/ee177/70NYD/random%20crap/DSC_00322.jpg

now that i think about it i probably should have used my tripod.. next time ;)
the photoes have much more detail when viewd on the comp as they are 4288x2848 but photobucket scales them down considerably..
oh i also finaly learned how to use more options on my camera.. i know what bracketing means now and photoshop does a awesome job at combining the photo's in to a HDR image :D

[mikey_something]

Wow mate the ant photo is actually amazing I really like it

Nice job :)

[70NYD]

cheers man. the ant is actually standing on my fence lol it looks like dirt i know but its just timber board (its a average size ant, not like a bull one)

[RustyKaos]

Wow. Looking good there Tony. What brand lens did you get and where from for that price? Also what do you mean by filter as my understanding is the filter just screws onto the end of the lens so you don't need a specific wide angle or macro filter, just the lens.

[mkid]

there amazing tony well done man

[70NYD]

its litteraly a filter that screws at the top of the lense. the wide angle filter screws using the macro filter (otherwise you cannot focus at all) and the macro screws to the front of the lense.. its just liek a magnifying glass i guess. i got them of ebay. really decent quality 2. was gonna get lenses but they were like 400 ish and the wide angle lesne would have been a waste of money for me. i want a 18-200 so i dont have to change them all the time as i already had dust blobs on the img sensor..

[Flyblown]

Great shots Tony, I really like the ant. You must be very pleased with the results especially from a $20 filter kit. Money well spent!

[mussing]

That's damn impressive for not having a tripod. I find it hard to keep my hand steady enough to take even normal shots. Maybe it's the caffeine!

[marcs_sp20]

Sh!te thats some sharp photo's tony, and as said above, would be killer to see how you go with a tripod!! :D

I gotta get back into photography, been lazy :o

[70NYD]

Thx guys :) those photos were very fortunate to have full sunshine and no wind :) when I went to get the tripod for the spider a while after (since it didn't move at all) clouds moved over and wind picked up.. The ones i took then were either too dark or blurred :( so the freehabd ones were much better. next time il bring a tripod straight away :) but knowing my luck, il set it up and it will start raining... LOL
But when I say freehand I kinda braced my self against my knees to steady :p

[70NYD]

ok so i just came back from a 4 day holiday at mooloolaba with sanja
these are my "standout" ones. not retuouched, just different f/ and exposure settings ;)

Sweet pics Tony :D

Well, it seems a couple of us (Gav, Bourbs & I) are getting back into photography, and after some persuasion by the Gavsta, I purchased a 52mm Lens Adaptor for my SX120IS, along with a .045x Wide Angle Lens, and a 3 pack filter kit (CPL, UV & ND2) all for just over $50 :p

[chicaboo]

Don't give me credit for that gay yum-cha wide angle lens! :p You will have fun times with those filters though!

Tip: When photographing people in bright sunlight - use the flash to eliminate shadows on their faces [and bewbz]. Increase the saturation [select 'Vivid' on Canon compacts], and reduce your ISO to 100 and shoot in 'P' mode. This will make your photos pop, and look more exciting without over-exposing.

[Flyblown]

Nice pics Tony
I especially like the light trails around the streetlights made by the moths and bugs in the first photo
And what is that in the sky on the left hand side 3/4 way up the frame? a red light and 2 white lights (UFO) and nobody say stars because they are not in the next frame!!
Anyway Nice shots

The same thing thats in the 2nd shot - 2 thirds across & about an inch down? ;)

[Flyblown]

Nah thats one white light , not a red and 2 white

[marcs_sp20]

well, there is an airport a couple k's down the road from where that photo was taken, so im guessing plane lights :D

Tony, were they taken on the esplenade? It reminds me when Tash & I stayed at an apartment overlooking the carpark to Bulcock Beach in October last year ;)

[70NYD]

they were taken from the landmark resort :)
the 1st photo my guess would be a airplane, and the second photo, that would most likely be a boat, since the enterance to the river/eastuary is right there

[marcs_sp20]

so, were they taken with a tripod of lent up against something?

[70NYD]

Nah the tripod wasnt leaning, but the part that attaches to the camera can pan(left to right), tilt(up down) and swivel (labdscape to portrait) but the problem with the last one is that it was darkso I couldn't tell if it was at perfect 90, and it doesn't have a bubble for that purpose, nor did I know at the time it actually hits a tab when it's perfect lol so the photo is askew :(

Good choice, cuz. If you asked for my opinion, I would've said to get that model too. :D
I have it's baby sister, the Di466FT. :) No LCD for me though. :(

[bourbon]

i was tossing up between this and the canon 430exII but chose this because it was basically the same as the 580exII

just gotta get some other lenses now :p

[chicaboo]

I think you chose wisely. :D I hear that the 24-70mm F2.8 L lens is the shiznit. Otherwise the 24-105/135mm are fairly good while offering a more flexible zoom range, at the expense of some quality. Bear might know more about Canon lenses?

[bourbon]

he only just got back into the DSLR...i wanna get a macro & a L series lens as well...the macro one to start with wont have to be a L series lens...i keep an eye out on ebay and the photo forums for steals...but never are any :(

[chicaboo]

Have you considered getting a flexible lens with good magnification [ie: can focus closer to the subject], and then whack a cheap macro filter on it to get even better macro with tele? This will save you money, lens swapping, and carrying more gear around. It also keeps you away from your subject, so it won't get disturbed, shadowed or excited into stinging you. :p

[marcs_sp20]

Finally received my wide angle lens & filters yesterday (were sitting at the post office for a week, damn flood :() so have started to play round... Bought some macro filters too, so hopefully be here this week too ;)

What's causing so much vignetting Marc?
I got a B+W Circular Polarizing filter for my lenses today :)

Is there anyway to get this sort of fisheye effect without buying one of the very expensive fisheye lenses? (Don't want vignetting but doesn't have to be a full 180degrees)

[chicaboo]

What's causing so much vignetting Marc?

It's not a matched WA lens, so it's more of a fisheye at 0.45X.

My cousin made a panorama from several frames, and then turned it into a 360deg fisheye in PS. :p

[marcs_sp20]

haha, the vignetting is special :p

As Gav has said, its not a proper WA lens, but for $20 its a bit of fun ;)

Just remember, this is only a $200 camera... :eek:

[phildough]

Looks like I won't be able to make it this Sunday as I currently have no car and it doesn't look like I will have even made up my mind:confused: as to what im going to do with mine, let alone have it fixed by then.
I would come on my Peugeot Speedfight scooter but I know there is no way in hell that I would be allowed to use my GF's Canon 5D MK II if im on it.:rolleyes:

[marcs_sp20]

[marcs_sp20]

"Purchased" Adobe Lightroom, so thought I'd have a go at "selective colouring" some pics that I posted a week ago... Please let me know how I can better myself with this, as its basically all self taught ;)

[bourbon]

heaps of tutorials online marc, also for photoshop i dont know how simular they are to each other in the interface way though...

[mynameisdaniel]

Looks good, the colours are nice, although the contrast is a bit high (might be because you took the pics in the middle of the day though), and you might want to invest in a Circular Polarising Filter to cut back some of those reflections too :)

[marcs_sp20]

Yes I know there are heaps of tutes available bourbs, its just where to start is the question :p

Daniel we took those pics at 1pm in the Arvo, and didnt put the cpl on till after, woops...

[bourbon]

what ya mean where to start? what are you looking at doing?

http://lightroom-news.com/category/lightroom/lightroom-tutorials/

[marcs_sp20]

changing background colours, borders, vignetting, removing spots etc, I think I have more then enough reading from the above link for a while ;)

I had a go at long exposure shots at night, had pretty bad lighting (on the car) but next time I'll take my external I got off Gav a lil while ago ;)

http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5300/5564111330_a7bc69ceac_b.jpg

[marcs_sp20]

first one is good :)

[Clean_Cookie]

i like the first one too marc, is this just in photoshop or is it to do with the camera settings too?

[Rupewrecht]

I like the one of your car - it 'pops' quite nicely

Generally i can't stand HDR pics - they're overdone just because they can be, not because they should be, and too many people abluse it.

[marcs_sp20]

@ Ryan - They are all done in Adobe Lightroom 2.7, brilliant program, but sometimes my pc cant keep up! :(

@ Dan - I know what you mean about going way overboard, but sometimes it makes it a lot better then what it should

Done a couple more this evening, will be going to take photos at a different location other then my backyard :p

On the way home after the cruise I stopped near Port Lytton as the sun was setting and snapped a few shots of my car with my GF's Canon 5D MK II, I left it on full auto as I havent read enough of the manual to work out how to use the complicated beast and it was the first time she let me borrow it.
I havent edited them or photoshopped them yet.

make an image with a transparent background and save it as a PDS file, but you copy the sig over to the picture and put it on top ;)

Let the fun begin, I bought myself a Canon 600D twin lens kit this afternoon.
It came with a 18-55 and a 55-250mm lens.

They will have the new F/A 18 super hornets on display and there will be the laser light show tomorrow night so that will make for some interesting photo opportunities.

The panorama's? They are made up of around 6 or 7 photos and then stitched together through Photoshop CS5. The new tripod I bought last week has a degree adjustment, so I just take a photo every 15 degree's ;)

Looking at buying a DSLR soon, but I think these photos will have to do for now - Just a cheapish digital camera, and I was playing around with various settings (but I cant expect much from a camera like mine... if only it was better:rolleyes:) You can tell I also like the black and white feature :D

Very nice marc... What's the aperture range on the powershoot?

This is a few iv done.Im no pro.But i enjoy it:)

Very nice marc... What's the aperture range on the powershoot?

Aperture is a modest 2.8-8.0, which I think is not bad for a bulky P&S, and when using CHDK firmware, thats bumped out to F11 :)

I havent really tried any of the other features as yet, but will do in the next couple months ;)

I bought a cheapy chinese branded hotshoe flash from ebay, was only $15 and arrived within 5 days, will throw up some photos this evening :D

[Clean_Cookie]

That dog photo is so awesome. Nice work!

[smurfy]

So i bought a canon 1000d second hand of ebay :) now i just gotta work it out.. ahaha
any tips?

Get a better camera :p Nah, i've seen some pretty decent stuff with a 1000d.

First tip, don't trust auto or you will want to throw it out. Put it at least on "P" and have your iso on about 200 for EVERYTHING! Then when your ready to go advanced, switch it on full manual!

Anyways, jake (Most of you have met him) finally replaced his pulsar with 320000kms with this thing. He was going to get a SP23 but decided he wanted to be more luxurious haha. This aint the official shoot, was just a coincident i had my camera on me.

ahaha starting of low :) not putting heaps of money into something i suck at ahha..

why 200 ? isnt that a slow shutter speed...

[phildough]

any tips?

Half press the shutter button on 'Auto' and see what it recommends for settings and go from there on the 'P' mode.
Its pretty much how I learnt to use my 600D.

[marcs_sp20]

SO here is my new cheapy Flash, goes ok for $20 ;)

And a big surprise this arvo, my filter kit arrived! :D It fits my 52mm lensmate quick change adapter, came with 6 filters (grey, blue & yellow graduated, ND2, ND4 & ND8 filters) & the adapter, just going to take some getting use to..

[Ben]

Yewww marc! Flashes are good fun :D

ahaha starting of low :) not putting heaps of money into something i suck at ahha..

why 200 ? isnt that a slow shutter speed...

No, a shutter speed is called a shutter speed haha. ISO is the measurement of how sensitive a digital camera's sensor is to light. The speed or light-sensitivity of a digital camera's sensor is rated in ISO numbers the lower the number, the slower the response to light. The higher the number, the higher sensitivity to light.

But why 200? Because if you go on 1000 or so, your images will look grainy, and nobody likes grainy images :p Catch my drift? Just change your shutter speed to compensate for this. So now i'll explain them haha

Shutter speeds work in normal time. Aka, 30 is 30 secs, 1/125 is exactly what it says, its 125th of a second. So, 30 is a slow or long shutter speed and 1/125 is faster. A slow shutter speed (30 or so secs) will keep your shutter open for that long, So if your shutter is open for 30 secs during sunny days, what's gonna happen? It's going to go white because of so much light! So, keep the slow shutter speeds for the dark and keep the fast for the light. Ok, i'm ranting, i could go all day and i haven't even started on apertures.

BUT, if you have it on "P" it's still auto and it will determine what you need, but keep your settings in tact (ISO, image quality etc) whereas straight auto changes all that for you, and auto aint smart and will make some of your images poo. By all means, use auto in fairly straight forward images, but for photography, no.

You will get it over time, i only started photography about 3 years ago.

[smurfy]

ahhhhh i catch your drift :) i guess its really just learning from people and trying different settings on the camera.
thanks heaps benn!

Nice shot ben! :D

Seeing as I forgot to charge my battery for last nights photo night, I went out early this morning and shot some photos at River Heart Parklands here in Ipswich, and my buddy luke (along with Tash & his wife Sarah) jumped in the car late this even and ventured back out to the Gateway & then to William Jolly Bridge in Brisbane, spun some wool, had a good time. ;) Some of the photos from today:

My little brother brought round his new Hilux SR5 he picked up this afternoon, and seeing I had the camera gear in the car, decided to take a couple snaps while also having a go with running round with the Flash :p I will definitely be looking at getting a soft box :)
