Free Agent Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 I was thinking about submitting a pic I shot in a Yosemite meadow on a challenge photo website as I looked at the pics that had been submitted thinking they looked pretty good but thought my pic would be competitive till I saw this photo. Is it just me or is this picture awesome? Wanted to share this and it shows what can be done with a camera. It was taken last September with a Canon 30D with a 10-22mm f3.5-4.5 lens. That picture is outstanding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metalalien Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 (edited) Awesome pics so far guys! Not a DSLR but I took this vid-cap from one of the slo motion videos. That big camera makes some sharp vid-caps. Not as much color as a real DSLR though. Edited November 2, 2009 by metalalien Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

80grit Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 (edited) I think it is rather interesting how these new DSLR's coming out have the video capture option on them. Canon and Nikon have headed down this direction making these new cameras Dual purpose (still and video HD capture). I am old school and would rather have a high quality still camera for great picture taking and a high quality video camera to shoot video. They really are set up quite differently. But with the high quality glass on the still cameras, the picture quality is there for video also. Anyways I ran across these guys (which I have no affiliation with what so ever) and found that some of their aftermarket products quite interesting. Just thought I would share with the other DSLR peeps. It kind of gives you a sense of what the engineers at Nikon and Canon see as there future product vision. Check these couple demos out of what you can add to these cameras to make them video useable. Im sure other companies have products like this also. Its just the first time I have seen these. This is there variations of hand held braces for adding stability for smooth recording of video. http://www.zacuto.com/dslr-tactical-shooter This particular viewfinder might be kinda fun for shooting action shots in still mode using the LCD screen. http://www.zacuto.com/z-finder-dslr-viewfinder Adding audio to your DLSR http://www.zacuto.com/zound-hotshoe Edited December 18, 2009 by 80grit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dunefreak Posted February 8, 2010 Author Share Posted February 8, 2010 This thread needs a I snapped some shots at a Wranglers fight hockey game last week. :freakin_nuts: These were with my good lense. (70-200 f2.8) The/2.8 really helps when shooting indoors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FE135 Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 The space station did a flyby last evening and I thought I would get the star trails it left. Since the sun was still just over the horizon I went manual and closed the apeture to about F5.6 so as to not blowout the sky. Thought I would share.

bp-guy Posted June 22, 2010 Share Posted June 22, 2010 I took a few pics of my truck and played with the HDR mode in CS5. Used TV mode and just changed the times on about 5 shots and merged them together. Played with a couple settings of adjustment and this is what I got. I want to try this at the beach with some clouds and see how it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong since I don't use it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could be wrong since I don't use it. I read it somewhere to try just using longer and shorter shutter speeds. You might be right though since it didn't really come out as I had hoped. But my picture is really kind of plain with not to much happening in the shot. It's a cool tool to have on hand and I will keep playing with it and see what I can do with it.

It's a cool tool to have on hand and I will keep playing with it and see what I can do with it. A cameras dynamic range (lightest to darkest point) has a limited # of f-stops. A good example is a scene with beach, ocean and cloudy skies still illuminated just after sunset. Expose for the still bright clouds and the ocean and beach are too dark to see detail, expose for the beach/water and the highlights are washed out with no detail. HDR (Tone Mapping) is basically 3 exposures (using bracketed exposure setting) 2 f-stops apart or using stepped shutter speeds and merge the correctly exposed parts into 1 photo. That's it basically. The old film guys used graduated neutral density filters to compress the range. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
