Lots of great pictures posted recently. I haven't had much time to go out with the camera recently. However, after 2 years, this orchid plant decided to bloom and I like the colours.

Duck Pictures




Well, I checked me Birds of Ontario Field Guide, and they aren't in it...So I checked the internet...it's a Muscovy duck native to central america although they are farmed around here. Some become ferrell and sometimes mix with mallards. Apparently some live on the University of Waterloo grounds.

[MrWizard]

Well, considering the lowest paid player in baseball makes about $300,000 US per season, and most are millionaires, I'd get over that paranoia pretty quick, if I was getting paid that much. Small price to pay for having the ump accidentally rub his nutsack on your back every now and then.

Look at that picture, is the umpires nutsack anywhere NEAR the catchers back?

I played baseball, catcher occasionally, it's pretty demanding on the knees. Umpired for a few years as well which is just as demanding, the catcher at least gets a break.

Anyways, here are some randoms and some that I took at the Jays game on Saturday. Nothing special, while the zoom on my camera is great, I have somewhat shaky hands.

question: how do you guys take a picture of animal that is behind a glass wall?

i always get reflections and stuff

[Twitch1977]

The farther the flash is away from the lens of the camera the less likely you'll get reflections from the glass. You're best off using an external flash that isn't mounted to the camera. If not that a flash in the hotshoe rather than the cameras flash.

It's the same principal as redeye.

In the last one you can see the blood in his belly, I did about 5 pictures of him and you can see the progression from a skinny belly with no blood showing to what you see in that picture (then I squashed him). Too bad the rest were out of focus. :(

There ya go, it's pretty out of focus, I had a hard time holding the camera with one hand steady and then the other hand with the mosquito steady as well. I'll likely try to re-create this series with a tripod setup when I have a chance.

I was using a Panasonic FZ30 and a Raynox DCR-250 Close-Up filter and occasionally a fill flash.

Very good quality for a close up filter!

The close-up filter was a about $90 if I remember right after shipping and all that from henrys.. maybe a bit more, my wife got it for me for my b-day. The quality of the camera lens is just as important as the quality of the filter though. You need something that will stay sharp through the entire length of the zoom. The more zoom you have the better your magnification will be.

Hey there Twitch, those are some amazing shots! Just wondering out of curiousity, hows the noise distorition issues with your Panasonic? I really like hte specs of the camera, but I've been hearing it has some bad noise issues?

[Twitch1977]

Hey there Twitch, those are some amazing shots! Just wondering out of curiousity, hows the noise distorition issues with your Panasonic? I really like hte specs of the camera, but I've been hearing it has some bad noise issues?

I don't do much in the way of low light shots so I can't comment on the noise in those conditions. But I don't find the overall noise any worse than any other camera even though it's been made a big deal over.

Anyways the FZ50 is out now which replaces the now discontinued FZ30 and it supposedly has better noise control, but I haven't bothered to read any reviews or anything on it.

I was really worried about the noise in the Panasonic before I bought it as well, but I've had it since Feb. and I've been very happy with it so far. I'd check out the FZ50 if you're interested in this line of cameras and look at some of the sample pics on www.steves-digicams.com or dpreview or a site like that and make your own judgement.

Hope something in that rambling helped,

Thanks, can you also tell me how far you are from the subjects when you take these pics?

Currently I have a reverse-macro set-up, but I have to be about 1.5 inch away from the subject....so there's no way I am going 1.5" away from spiders 'n stuff!! :lol:

I find that I'm currently having trouble with DOF, which is an inherent issue with using a reverse-macro setup.
Also, since I am using a DSLR, I've read that because the sensor is bigger, it further decreases the DOF and makes it more difficult to have sharp images, as even a 1mm difference in distance from the focusing point would make that part of the image blurry. :(

WIth the Nikon lens which is a +3 Diopter I'm 33cm away, and with the Raynox DCR250 which is a +8 diopter I'm 12.5cm away.

The dof is going to be shallow no matter what kind of macro setup you're using, and really in the end it just takes some practice. WIth the Raynox if I zoom in fully with the lens I have probably less than 2mm of DOF to work with. My biggest problem is holding the camera steady, so what I do is hold the camera away from me and use the tension of the neck strap to hold it still, as well as using the fastest shutter speed I can get away with. The shallow DOF isn't fun, but once you start getting use to it, it becomes something you learn to work with.

You have to realize too how many bad pictures there are, I'll go out for a few hours and take maybe 200 to 300 pictures, when I get home probably half of them can be straight up deleted right away because they're completely out of focus. More still are half out of focus, a little blurry, or just poorly composed. In the end out of 200 or 300 pics, I'll get maybe 4 or 5 that I really like, and a few others that are passable.

In the end it just comes down to practice if I look at what I considered my 'good' shots when I started doing this, they wouldn't even get pass my inital delete fest any more.

In the end it just comes down to practice if I look at what I considered my 'good' shots when I started doing this, they wouldn't even get pass my inital delete fest any more.

12.5cm is still closer than I would like to be...lol...

Thanks, I'll keep playing around, and see what kind of results I come up with!

One thing you can use are extension tubes. I think they're better to work with than reverse lenses. A good investment would be an actual macro lens. Pair the macro lens with an extension tube and you have yourself a really good macro setup.

One thing I find rather hilarious is how people almost always base the minute differences of noise in higher ISOs. A lot of people talk like Canons like the 300/350D have zero noise at 400+ ISO. What a lot of review sites fail to mention is that yes other cameras have noise but in comparison with others, the difference is minimal. People need to look at other things like picture quality and ease of use which matters the most.

[feiticeria]

Thanks for the response Twitch, I'd rather just get the FZ30 than the newer model, I really like its features, but I'm also looking at the Pentax K100D. Low light shots will be an issue for me. But I've also decided to wait till October or Novemeber b4 I purchase the camera because I'm still not sure, plus my horoscope eerily said to hold of on any big purchases for now.

Your macro shots have really changed my mind about the Panasonic though!

Yah yah I know you're sick of them, but here are some more bugs:

Gah man, I would never get that close to a spider like that...

Where do you find so many different varieties?

On the weekends I usually go out to a park just out of the city and spend two or three hours walking around really hunting for them, poking around in a lot of bushes and trees, etc. It's surprising what you can all find when you start looking. (And how many used condoms there are in parks!) :D

question here:

You can do it with pretty much any photo editing program. I personally use a signature with a transparent background (png or gif file, in both white and black versions for different photos) that I made in photoshop that use my gallery server to watermark. The originals aren't edited, so it's not permenant, and the gallery watermarking script lets me put whatever signature, wherever I want, on whatever pictures I need it on.

You don't necessarily need to do it like mine, and you could pretty much just make your own signature and copy/paste it on all your photos. All that's important is the transparent background, really...

Here's mine: http://img222.imageshack.us/img222/184/watermarkblackky3.png

And an example (thumbnail isn't watermarked, but resize and fullsize are):

Wow, I love those pics. They are crystal clear. How do you like the 17-55 IS?

So far, the lens is perfect!
I used it over this past long weekend to do a wedding and all I can say is WOW....

I also had the 17-40L, and Sigma 17-70 to rotate between on my back up and I never took the 17-55IS off!!

THe 17-40 does seem to bring out colours a bit richer, but it's too slow indoors and the range isn't long enough for me.


sensei, beautiful shots.
even more impressive that you did them handheld!

did you do any pp to the photos?

As all these were originally taken in raw, I had to post-process to get to the final product. Here's my work flow:

Contrast, color, saturation, levels done my hand in PS2 RAW converter
Noise ninja to remove noise (using XT profiles)
Crop to size (from original, i crop down to 4 X 6 WHICH IS ROUGHLY 1700px)
Sharpen (USM settings: 300, 0.2-0.8, 5)
Stamp
Save as jepg

Done, takes about 20-30 per pic for me now


nice,but too much sharpening.

I've had mixed comments on the amount of sharpening that I use. What kind of monitor are you using? Did you try to go to my gallery and download an original picture and see if it's still too sharp for you taste? After all the re-sizing, strange things can happen with pics....

I used my tablet to scan my signature and then made a custom brush in PS that I can just pop on to any pic.

This is the site I used...http://www.myjanee.com/tuts/brush/cbrush7.htm

[klam]

I am also seeing a bit too much sharpening as well, I have a CRT and an LCD.

I usually do Unsharp Mask 300%, 0.7, 3 with a contrast/luminosity edge mask like you, but that is on the entire 8MP file. It seems like you are doing that on your cropped/resized file. Which may be a bit much on a small file? You know when you have oversharpened when you begin to see white halos around edges.

After I finish whatever post work is required, I resize down to 900x600 (my preferred size for web viewing) and use Smart Sharpen 50%, 0.3, with some adjustments to the highlight/shadow sharpening amounts in the advanced tab. I then save an alternate web version file JPEG.

That's an excellent point about sharpening the original or resized versions.
I sometimes just carried away....

I also tend to sharpen at 50-66% rather than at full 100%...that could also be a reason for the over sharpening...

Thanks for the tip!

[klam]

But you can see that the 17-55 is a blisteringly sharp lens! Looks like you are getting some good use out of it! The lantern festival was a perfect situation for IS.

Man. I'm using a 24-70L, and I'm seriously considering switching to an 17-55 IS. The 24-70L doesn't cut it for indoors shooting, without a flash!

I own the 17-55 lens. Honestly,the lens is so light,use of IS is very limited. I don't see much difference. You'll see much more noticeble results of IS with heavier lenses such as 70-200

Actually, I would think that the heavier the lens the more stable and less prone to hand movements it would be. Some people even attach weights to a screw and mount it on their camera's tripod mount to make a poor mans "IS" or "VR" ;).

But you're right that IS (or VR for Nikon users like me) would be much more noticable on the 70-200mm when compared to the 17-55mm but that is because the telephoto lens amplifies vibration more than a shorter lens not so much because of its weight.

[najibs]

I own the 17-55 lens. Honestly,the lens is so light,use of IS is very limited. I don't see much difference. You'll see much more noticeble results of IS with heavier lenses such as 70-200

I disagree. Yeah, the result will be much more significant on longer lenses, but that doesn't mean it won't work on shorter ones. I traded my 24-70L for a 24-105L, and I can take pictures in the same range down to 1/6th of a second handheld with the IS on the 24-105L, whereas on the 24-70L, anything below 1/40 would start to be blurry.

The 17-55IS has f/2.8 on top of the IS. That makes it a killer lens for low light! Heck, I'd even consider trading my new 24-105L for a 17-55IS.

Yeah. I'm thinking of trading the 24-70L for the 17-55IS straight up now. But the build quality of the 17-55 is keeping me from pulling the trigger.. they should've made it an L lens!

The 17 on the wide end is great too.

Totally agree with the build.
I don't know about the 24-70L and 24-105L, but I absolutely love how the 17-40L has internal focus AND zoom....

the 17-55IS has internal focus, but now zoom, so it does make it quite bulky, but nothing compared to the 24-70L that's just a tank!

Another thing is the dust issue, I haven't seen the effects too much, but there is much concern about the "vacuum cleaner" effect with dust collection in the lens.

I'll post some samples of a wedding I did over the past weekend when i get a chance!!

Use your imagination. If I intended to add a caption, I would have. Thanks for the tip.


Quite the opposite. I was simply saying that it could use a caption for it to mean much more and real than what we can come up with in our imagination from looking at the image.

I was just thinking that this image is the perfect candidate for the 'miniatures' trick in photoshop. Do you know how to do that?

You set the lens blur filter too high, and your curves need to be adjusted. That looks like a photo that's been converted, not a model to begin with ;)

On a side note: People should really refrain from putting black borders on mundane pictures in an attempt to make them look either a) good or b) like an inspirational poster. A lot of the black-border pic's i've seen in a while are not even close to border worthy :lol:

What's wrong with borders? Everyone has their own preference on how they process their images. I just happen to leave the borders on to keep my images consistent no matter how crappy they are.

EXIF tags are just some embedded information in your photo files that your camera appends. It usually records your camera settings so that you can look back and refer to it if needed. Most if not every camera embeds an EXIF tag.

Most image viewers can view EXIF. I just took a look at the EXIF information on your file out of curiousity and noticed it said Rebel XTI instead of Nikon D80... :)

Easily. There's a lot of post processing programs out there that removes the EXIF. I think Noise Ninja is one of them.

From the latest food journal, some pics and a recipe.

I found a recipe online for molten lava cakes and came up with my own version. This is definitely a 'wow' dessert, trust me, the ladies love it.

http://www.spotlighttoronto.com/images/lavacake01.jpg

I'm sure you've seen molten lava cakes at the grocery store, make your own.

You'll need 6 ramekins for this recipe. Lightly butter each ramekin and then dust them with flour. Shake off any excess flour and let rest while making the cakes..

Ingredients for the cakes

1/2 cup of unsalted butter (room temperature)
6 oz bittersweet chocolate (6 pieces in the box, or 175 g)
2 eggs, room temperature
2 egg yolks
1/4 cup of sugar
A pinch of Salt
2 TBSP allpurpose flour
1 pint of fresh raspberries

Ingredients for the sauce
1/2 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of ice wine
1/2 cup of 35%cream

Making the sauce
Heat the sugar over low heat until it turns golden brown
Remove the pan from the heat and mix with in the cream and ice wine
Return to heat and stir until it has completely dissolved. The mixture should thicken as it cools

Process

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F
2. Chop up all the bittersweet chocolate into small pieces.

http://www.spotlighttoronto.com/images/lavacake02.jpg


3. Toss chocolate pieces and butter into a decent sized heat transferring bowl (metal)

http://www.spotlighttoronto.com/images/lavacake03.jpg

http://www.spotlighttoronto.com/images/lavacake04.jpg

4. Using a double boiling method, melt the chocolate. Basically, simmer some water in a large pot (small bubbles, not too hot) then put the chocolate bowl on the water when its simmering and whisk until it's creamy and smooth.

http://www.spotlighttoronto.com/images/lavacake05.jpg


5. Beat the eggs, egg yolk and sugar in a separate bowl. Add salt
6. Quickly fold the chocolate mixture with the egg mixture
7. Fold in the flour
8. Spoon a 1/4 cup of the mixture into each ramekin

http://www.spotlighttoronto.com/images/lavacake06.jpg

http://www.spotlighttoronto.com/images/lavacake07.jpg


9. Bake the mixture for about 11 minutes.
10. Pull it out, let the ramekins sit for a minute

http://www.spotlighttoronto.com/images/lavacake08.jpg

11. Turn them upside down on to your service plate, leave for a few seconds, then lif the ramekins.
12. Dress with the sauce, and raspberries

http://www.spotlighttoronto.com/images/lavacake09.jpg

13. Serve while warm.

That's one weird looking car. I might like it if I knew more about it but wow.. the appearance .... 0/10... 1/10 if they didn't stick that ford logo on the hood.

That's the Ford GT. One of the worlds fastest production cars I believe.

That's one weird looking car. I might like it if I knew more about it but wow.. the appearance .... 0/10... 1/10 if they didn't stick that ford logo on the hood.

The stick that Ford logo on the hood becasue it's a Ford GT, which is a "remake" of the original 1966 LeMans winning Ford GT. It goes for around $185 000 or so Canadian, and only 4000 or so were made.

Any way, it is actually a pretty nice car, although I think a lot of the credit has to go to the original designers. I was actually surprised how nice the interior was, very clean and simple. The is also a very low and wide car, I mean like really wide. I think that's the first thing that hits you when you see it is how wide it is.

[djphat]

The is also a very low and wide car, I mean like really wide. I think that's the first thing that hits you when you see it is how wide it is.Yeah. I wouldn't mind taking it out to a race track for a ride... I know what it feels like to drive a nice car and it's definitely a nice feeling!

I would never own one even if I was a millionaire... unless it's being promoted by a partner company that's into cancer/aids research or something along that line.

Some people lack humanity. At some point in our lives we need to be hit with a flashlight to open our minds to the world of philanthropy... to feel good from helping others not just by donating but to get connected and share happiness.. it's slowly disappearing.. so sad.

[thelefteyeguy]

it is glued together ;) it's on my wall right now

here's what I used:

1 a heineken special edition box (chipboard), a zara shoe box (corrugate), and a tsubo shoe box (corrugate).

$20 shredder from Walmart
$21 frame with canvas (at Loomis) 18x24" *special* %50off
$6 metal spray paint (at Loomis) since the frame was black.
$12 3M Super spray glue
1 bottle of beer (for me)

1hr to spray paint and dry, 30mins to shred boxes, 10mins to pick out certain pcs, 1hr to glue the pcs to the canvas, 1 night to dry properly (used a fan all night to air out the vapors)

=A work of art, thanks to the $20 shredder!

Those look nice and sharp GunnerX!!

Which lens are you using with that E-1 of yours?
Looks like you needed a full 70-200 to get those raptors pics....
But the BT pics were taken quite wide...you must've been nice a close, which lens did you use for that?

Great pics....

Hehe, I did use the ZD 50-200mm for the Raptor pics. I was on the 2nd floor of FCP.

Thanks. For the BT pics, I used the ZD 14-54mm as I was just a few feet away from them.

I also use the 11-22mm and 50mm f2.0 lenses. But I usually carry the 14-54mm and the 50-200mm in the Slingshot 200.

You can get that effect by taking a long exposure in a dark setting, and then using a light pen (or any light source) and wave it around.

Yeah, rigged up a handheld 3mm white LED, and duct-taped it up so that it doesn't go nuts.

There was also a second keychain white LED inside the glass to bring out the frosted pattern.

The Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests, Temple of Heaven. Originally constructed in 1420 during the Ming dynasty, the temple was used by the emperor to worship Heaven. Constructed entirely of wood without a single nail or fastener, the entire structure is held together by sophisticated interlocking joints. It is the pride of Chinese architecture.

They're not Crows, they're Cormorants. People use them to hunt fish.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cormorant#Cormorants.27_fishing

[klam]

Yeah, those are cormorants. Fishermen in that area use these birds to fish. They tie their necks so they restrict the size of their throats and the birds will dive in and pick out fish. The small fish they are allowed to eat and the big ones will not fit, so the fisherman is able to pluck them back out.

Really pleased with the quality of the shots. I just used the Landscape point and shot function, converted to B&W in ACDSee.

Phil Lafayette was prolly one of the highlights of the whole trip!! There were actually 4 or 5 other families/groups from all over the US on my same cruise that booked the same tour with him. When we got there, I was surprised to see such a large group that pre-booked with him!

When I climbed Dunns river, I used an AQUASAC with my SD500. That thing was the best $40 I've ever spent. I felt so safe iwth it I tied it around my neck and brought it snorkeling in Mexico and the Bahamas. I even filmed movies while snorkeling diving sometimes to about 3-5 metres to get close up of fish and reefs.

For the food, I shot with the 35mm 2.0 for portability. All the rest was shot using only the 17-55IS.

Cool, we had a great time on his tour as well. I especially enjoyed the river tubing!
Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if those 4-5 random families had discussed Phil's tour ahead of time through cruisecritic.com, because the same thing happened on my tour!

Any links to the Aquasac? Did you have to wipe the front often to keep it clear from water droplets?
I have a underwater housing for my canon, but I find that it heats up extremely fast, especially if you use flash alot (which is a must for most underwater shots).

http://www.modernoutpost.com/gear/details/aq_410_camera.html

This is where i got it from.
So as you can see, it's basically a plastic bag with 2 clear windows on both sides.

there are no buttons like the fitted waterproof casing.
Also I had no issues whatsoever with condensation with seems to be a huge issue with the fitted ones.

If shooting under water, no wiping required obviously, but out of the water, yes, I had 40-50% of my shots ruined to water droplets and/or weird reflections from the case.

If I could do it again, I'd use the aqausac if shooting video, but for taking pics I'd get myself a fitted case (made by canon). Or look at getting a case for the DSLR next time.

Thanks! I just happened to notice the sun shining through the little arc window in our door onto the wall the other day at lunch. (It was actually a well lit room I just metered off the area where the sun hit the wall.) That was my first half-ass decent shot with my XTi.

Great silhouette and selective part of the bridge, it could have been nicer with framing the whole part of that bridge and avoiding the part of ship on the right bottom corner.

XP Powertoys has an image resizer (http://download.microsoft.com/download/whistler/Install/2/WXP/EN-US/ImageResizerPowertoySetup.exe). But a lot of people here have custom macros in photoshop for resizing/retouching photos in batches.

Any photographers gotten permission to use a roof of a building? My friend and I shoot downtown a lot, and we always say "damn, just if we could get on top of (insert building here), we'd get some sweet shots. Sometimes these buildings are not even tall, maybe 2-3 stories, and we just want to get on them so we could avoid shooting through glass (we seem to lose a lot of contrast doing so.) For example we were at the big HMV downtown looking and saw a web cafe on the other side of the street which would had been great if we got on the roof, but we didn't bother asking as we figured nobody there would have premission to let us use the roof.

From the latest food journal, some pics and a recipe.

I found a recipe online for molten lava cakes and came up with my own version. This is definitely a 'wow' dessert, trust me, the ladies love it.

http://www.spotlighttoronto.com/images/lavacake01.jpg

I'm sure you've seen molten lava cakes at the grocery store, make your own.

You'll need 6 ramekins for this recipe. Lightly butter each ramekin and then dust them with flour. Shake off any excess flour and let rest while making the cakes..

Ingredients for the cakes


1/2 cup of unsalted butter (room temperature)
6 oz bittersweet chocolate (6 pieces in the box, or 175 g)
2 eggs, room temperature
2 egg yolks
1/4 cup of sugar
A pinch of Salt
2 TBSP allpurpose flour
1 pint of fresh raspberries

Ingredients for the sauce
1/2 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of ice wine
1/2 cup of 35%cream

Making the sauce
Heat the sugar over low heat until it turns golden brown
Remove the pan from the heat and mix with in the cream and ice wine
Return to heat and stir until it has completely dissolved. The mixture should thicken as it cools

Process

1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F
2. Chop up all the bittersweet chocolate into small pieces.

http://www.spotlighttoronto.com/images/lavacake02.jpg


3. Toss chocolate pieces and butter into a decent sized heat transferring bowl (metal)

http://www.spotlighttoronto.com/images/lavacake03.jpg

http://www.spotlighttoronto.com/images/lavacake04.jpg

4. Using a double boiling method, melt the chocolate. Basically, simmer some water in a large pot (small bubbles, not too hot) then put the chocolate bowl on the water when its simmering and whisk until it's creamy and smooth.

http://www.spotlighttoronto.com/images/lavacake05.jpg


5. Beat the eggs, egg yolk and sugar in a separate bowl. Add salt
6. Quickly fold the chocolate mixture with the egg mixture
7. Fold in the flour
8. Spoon a 1/4 cup of the mixture into each ramekin

http://www.spotlighttoronto.com/images/lavacake06.jpg

http://www.spotlighttoronto.com/images/lavacake07.jpg


9. Bake the mixture for about 11 minutes.
10. Pull it out, let the ramekins sit for a minute

http://www.spotlighttoronto.com/images/lavacake08.jpg

11. Turn them upside down on to your service plate, leave for a few seconds, then lif the ramekins.
12. Dress with the sauce, and raspberries

http://www.spotlighttoronto.com/images/lavacake09.jpg

13. Serve while warm.

Wow... did you actually make this?? Very impressive, if you did!
Will definitely try out the recipe.

This was also taken in Panama while out on a trip in the jungle with Native Panamanians. It was an amazing time. It was raining quite hard at this time, and we were in a boat just heading out of dock.

Some of the better pictures from my trip to Italy...

Most of my pictures didn't turn out as sharp as some of the ones posted here. I'm wondering what I doing wrong. I have the ISO at 400 b/c there was always a lack of light. Could this be the reason? Thanks.

Yep, the 5 secs at the peak before you're dropped.

a few quick pictures I dug up, I have a lot more and I'm sure some better ones, just have to dig through my pictures. Both pictures were taken with my trusty old Canon G2, she's gotta be at least five years old at this point

Thanks Bunga,

The shot was taken on my infrared-converted Nikon D70. Yes, photoshop was used for levels, contrast, channel mixer adjustments and dodging/burning. It's a little rought around the edges as I was just learning my way around with my newly converted D70...but it is one of my favorite shots with this camera so far!

You have some good photos of Huanglong and Jiuzhaigou. What month did you go? I was there in September and its cool how the scenery changes completely according to the season.

Heres one for the return of spring season. Snapped this today on the way home

you got some nice pics, and about your lieca M8 picture. i'll never understand why their so expensive

[JaGWiRE]

you got some nice pics, and about your lieca M8 picture. i'll never understand why their so expensive

Little story around that Leica m8:
Was at Queens University on the March break checking out the campus. I was in the cafe getting something to eat when a dude rolled up with 5D, m8, 24L, domke bag, etc. I began speaking to him, he was a photographer for macleans magazine. I took a few quick shots of that Leica, and ran outside to shoot the squirrels you can see in my animal gallery at the end. Another guy on a different forum had this macleans dude come into his Queens class and take some photos of them.

[klam]

They are indeed expensive, particularly when you consider that the photographer must do all the work to properly set exposure and manually focus! But after having used the Leica M7 recently I have begun to gain an appreciation for the rangefinder camera. It's just a completely different tool from my Canon DSLRs.

Getting yourself to think more about exposure and focus is the real challenge, but I just love the "look" of film compared to digital. It definitely feels more alive to me. However, I think the M8 would be an awesome camera to own as it combines the rangefinder experience with high quality digital photography. But owning the M8 at this point is just out of my price point right now.

Definitely. It's a luxury I would not mind, but in reality our canon system is a lot more fun and practical to use for what we, and most people probably shoot.

[klam]

I would agree that a SLR is more practical and useful over a wider range of applications, TTL viewfinder, can use telephoto lenses, auto-focus to name a few things.

But using my M7, it really is a superb and fun little camera. The Leica optics are awesome, the camera is smaller/lighter, the cloth focal plane shutter is nearly silent, and a great great viewfinder that you can actually manually focus in makes for a very enjoyable experience.

For certain applications like candid, photojournalism, and street photography I think a rangefinder is unbeatable. It's discreet, quiet, and fast.

Probably. It's all about getting the shot though, and if I shot manual mode per say when street shooting, I think I'd lose a lot of shots (don't always have time to go scrolling to get your exposure proper), the same goes for if I was trying to MF everything (not as big of a deal though.)

I'm thinking of getting a "daily" shooter that I can carry around easily... what do you guys suggest? I love my D70S and everything, but I'm just not shooting enough because I can't carry it around every day. Emphasis on quickness and compact size/durability, I guess.

can it rename files in order of date taken (as an example?)

sometimes i like to post on pbase in chronological order and the only way is to rename first in order somehow

I've always got my Canon A540 in my pocket. While not the smallest camera, it offers great image quality and pretty much any manual control you require. Great for those spur of the moment type shots.

Most of those,I'd say yes. I've also used 70-200L 2.8,but it's not long enough and becomes ******(to my liking) with a TC. I had 100-400L in the past,but hated it,and got the sigma instead.

Really?? I was planning on picking up a 2.8IS to use w/ my 1.4x TC occasionally.

I figured the bigma gottabe worse than 70-200+tc? are you talking the 2x?

Actually I am talking about 2x. With 2x picture quality was worse than the Sigma. With 1.4x,it's just doesn't have enough reach.
The Sigma that I have, can produce results as good as any of my L lenses,but that lens would ask a lot in return: tripod,good lighting,f7-f16 and minimum subject movement.

If you want to save some money and want a TC,get a Kenko Pro 1.4x. I've seen them in some US stores as well as Ebay. Quality that is as good/better than Canon's version,which is twice as expensive.



Here's unedited 100% crop of a bird's head,taken with Sigma. You judge the quality

[George W. Bush]

demi2004, a teleconverter (TC) such as Kenko 1.4x on my 350XT (already a 1.6x crop factor) is still ok?

I have a Sigma 70-300 f/4-5.6 APO MACRO SUPER II lens - very nice but certainly no match for what you have, and with 350XTs crop factor of 1.6x this gets me 112-480mm.

The Kenko TC in this case, is recommended for 100mm + zoom, and would yield 157-672mm.

Is there any noticeable degradation in image quality on the sides of the image. The center of the image remains quite strong in quality.

The head of the bird taken above, are you using a TC?

What about the issue with underexposed pictures? They have problems with matrix metering I read.

Should I get the 2.0 or the 1.4 Kenko teleconverter for about $150?

[klam]

I have a Kenko 1.4x TC and it is indeed good. I don't shoot much telephoto but have used it with the 70-200mm f/2.8 IS and 135L with good results. It is very affordable and is almost as good as the Canon 1.4x TC. The Canon version does a little better at reducing CA and has better edge sharpness, particularly on a full-frame body.

I would avoid 2.0x TC altogether unless you have top notch primes like the 200mm f/2.8 or 300mm f/2.8 and even then they are too much of a compromise.

Leica M7, 40mm Summicron, Ilford XP2 Super.
Cool! One of my favourite films! I could only scramble a crappy scanner here in Vienna so far so I haven't scanned many. But here's one I took while I went to Berlin in November 06, also using XP2

http://img391.imageshack.us/img391/9458/berlin1eu9.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

[EDIT: resized]

[NDman]

Another one, also from Berlin. Had the potential to be a nice shot but I completely muffed this one. But the contrast and the mood feel right for me, which is what made me angry for missing the shot. Urghhh

http://img111.imageshack.us/img111/2994/berlin2dk2.jpg (http://imageshack.us)

[klam]

Nice to see another Ilford XP2 fan. I'm particularly fond of XP2 because of its generous latitude and convenience using C-41 processing. Though because it is a chromogenic film it is not really as detailed/sharp as a true black & white film. I'm gonna try shooting Ilford HP5 next time around.

[NDman]

I've only used HP5 once. For non C41 film, I used TMax. I started off with TMax before getting my hands on HP5. More of an inertia thing for me since I dind't notice any significant difference that would sway me to HP5. Having that said, I haven't used any of the 2 for a long time because they are so darn expensive to develop these days

Well can your 18-70mm ever shoot like that?


if you shoot a portrait at 70mm with the stock lens (i have a few)....but for a nikon lens...the 85mm 1.4 is probably in the top 3 in brokeh....(i will argue top 2 ;)....i'd saw the 70-200 f/2.8 VR on par or above)

Nice shot - great colors.

You might consider correcting the horizon. All the towers leaning slightly to the right is a bit distracting. Otherwise very nice composition!

The fact you managed to get some texture to the sky and some distinct lighting might lend the picture to a black and white conversion. Try it out with a blue cast filter and you might be surprised with what you get. :)

Any tips on how to capture firework pics for tomorrow's Victoria Day celebrations?I don't think that's shorter than a 5sec exposure?
the pplz seems to be standing quite still..

What settings do i need to take pics like that of the falling water?

Makes a simple thing seem so unreal.

These are the settings I used.

Flash Used: No
Focal Length: 18.0mm
CCD Width: 5.87mm
Exposure Time: 1.600 s
Aperture: f/22.0
ISO equiv: 100
White Balance: Auto
Metering Mode: Matrix
Exposure: Manual
Exposure Mode: Manual

The shuttle speed is what creates the water affect. Anything higher then 1/4 sec will do. I had to use a slower exposure time because I wanted a higher FStop (keep the area in focus).

Sorry - I meant the 800mm :-0

even the kit lens can take great shots - expensive glass just helps take great shots in not so great conditions :)

400+2x? or including 1.6 conversion etc?

Digital cameras are great, and some of the shots here are fantastic,but some are nothing but snapshots that are put in photoshop and they get boosted for an effect that is completely unnatural.

Yes I understand that a minimal amount of post should be done on Raw images, you should be able to set up your camera and maybe just adjust exposure a little in PS when you shoot Jpeg.

I haven't RAW option in my FZ7 (this model is a toy) and I have limited capablities of postprocess. But in PS i like to warm paints, light up shadows, correct contrast, add frames... I haven't filters and other accesoriess for my digital camera.
HDR is another story (other soft - in my case photomatix pro, or plugin for PS), photo has to look like picture, borderland of photo and computer graphics. Fact, that "easy HDR" can boost dynamic range, but it will be still natural photo. I like exaggerate HDR, my inspiration: http://www.robertmekis.com/?kateg=photos&subkateg=landscape

what are hdr shots??? and crazy pics

HDR means High Dynamic Range. It simply means you take several shots at different exposure and then combine them together. I think this is already heavily used in movies. Here are some examples of HDR shots I did:

so how do u do the hdr thing? is there a function or setting that allows u to put the layers on top of eachother??? or does it actually require manually adjusting

[cheukiecfu]

However, you usually still need to do some manual tweak/editing afterwards

On windows, I believe Photomatix is used for HDR. On linux, there are pfstools. I'm sure Mac has its HDR software as well. Just google for it.

Last week I had the opportunity to cover two events, the Canadian Cancer Society's Relay for Life and Pride Week. Here are some of my favs (not sure if I can show everything (http://www.flickr.com/photos/lamkevin/) from Pride here on RFD).

One of the things I had to do for the Relay for Life was to shoot team portraits. I tried to make the otherwise boring team portraits a little more interesting by using a multi flash setup using my Canon Speedlites.

So that's how it looks like with multiple flash setups...

did you have a 580ex and 430ex on the sides, with a transmitter in your hotshoe?

[klam]

It was a grass field at night with nothing to bounce from, so I decided to use off-camera lighting. I had the 580 on my hot shoe and the 430 on a stand, closer to the team at a 45 degree above camera level. I set the flashes on manual using Canon' wireless flash system, with the 580 as master and 430 as slave. I was thinking of using my Pocketwizards but at night the Canon wireless IR works pretty well when I tried and I didn't bother.

wow.. that's pretty good.. I guess I still have tons to learn about flash.. and need to save money for equip..
anyway, how did u bring all your equipments around outside?

Ah - exactly what I was thinking.

I've never used more than one flash before, but I know the theory. Just never applied it. Thanks for the example. Gives me ideas.

So you didn't use the HDR technique, but did you touch these up at all in Photoshop or some other image editor or use any filters? These don't look natural. Especially the top one, looks like you played with the sky a lot if not just replace it with another image.

So you didn't use the HDR technique, but did you touch these up at all in Photoshop or some other image editor or use any filters? These don't look natural. Especially the top one, looks like you played with the sky a lot if not just replace it with another image.

I use filters and some photoshoping too. The only reason it doesn't look natural because you've never seen it before.
I also work hard on a proper exposure and composition,this way I don't need HDR to make a picture look drammatic.

[cheukiecfu]

I wasn't trying to be offensive or anything. It's just that something about the lighting in both those photos seems off. It almost seems like when you use the Shadows/Highlights tool in Photoshop and it was pushed a bit too much. I mean if those are natural photos, that's cool. It's just maybe because I do some compositing at work so I tend to think I can spot something that looks like it was comped and I have to say the Niagara Falls pic looks totally comped. Again. not trying to knock you or anything, but even if you tell me that's a natural image something in my brain is not buying it, it just doesn't look natural to me. I really think it's the sky that for some reason I just don't buy it. I am really precieving that image as two images comped together, that the sky is from another photo.

amazing shots, how/where did you learn to take pictures like that?

:) Thanks! I just learned from trial and error. I haven't taken any courses or read any books except for the camera manual. Sometimes really the places themselves are so picturesque, it's easy to take some nice snaps. It's like taking a photo of a beautiful woman - it's hard not to get a nice result!

I just kind of imagine a frame in my mind or use the camera's viewfinder to zero in on what might be a nice picture. I don't think a person really needs a super fancy expensive camera to get some decent shots. I'm still amazed at what my trusty S40 does for me, and it has a teeny tiny little lens. The fancy cameras can make a good picture definitely better though!

Usually I just use AUTO mode for most of my photos. That one of the brook was taken using a tripod, and I think it was the slow mo mode on the dial. I can't remember exactly. Sometimes if I have time I will play around with the exposure and aperture settings, but usually it's more of a rushed affair so AUTO mode just has to do.

I just take lots of pictures so there's bound to be one or two good ones in the bunch.

Here's a shot of some fireworks I took with the S40.

"I don't think a person really needs a super fancy expensive camera to get some decent shots."

Completely agree!


Long ago the perfect starter camera was the Pentax K1000 ...WHY? because it was cheap and fully manual. It forced you to learn about exposure, and composition, which means less now because all people do is take 50 shots and hope for a coupla good shots.

Here's a couple that I shot last week during our Eastern Carribean cruise.

I have no clue how I managed to get the lightning shot, but it was actually taken from inside the bus (sitting in the front), on the way to the ship. Pure luck on that one.

[SENSEI]

SENSEI...beautiful shots! How do you like the 70-200 f4?

Hi Gdog,
The lens has given me nothing but amazing shots since getting it. It is sharp wide open and the extra stops gained form the IS basically mean no tripod needed (yet).

I have shot some indoor inline hockey with it no problems at ISO800, but I would think the 2.8 IS would be better for indoor sports in general. But overall, this lens is sharp enough that I sometimes don't even need to sharpen after shooting RAW.

The size of the lens compared to the 2.8's is significantly smaller and much easier to carry. Some people have gotten used to the 2.8 and are feel it's not that big or heavy compared to say a 100-400 of 300+ fixed. But I feel the f/4IS is the perfect compromise for speed, size, weight and function.

good attempts ali123...

I find that these kinds of shots are better taken without as much flare as you have.

The first shot would actually have been really nice cause you can still see the water and the clouds well, but the sun is too overpowering...maybe if you positioned yourself so the sun was a little more behind some trees...Again, maybe a tigher zoom on the little guy on the edge of the rocks by the water...

On the second, again, too much sun, you lost everything in the foreground completely in shadows...nothing wrong with that, but you could crop it a bit more so that there is less open black space on the bottom...

Just my opinion though..

This is more of a question for some folks here. I wanted (and achieved) shallow DOF, and somewhat soft effect. But I was really struggling on whether I should focus on her right eye, or left. I ended up focusing on the right. Would you have done differently and have the focus on her left eye instead?

I ended up focusing on the right. Would have have done differently and have the focus on her left eye instead?

I think you made the right choice. The focus on the right eye moves my attention towards the middle of the frame where the majority of the detail in her face is.. I then tried paying more attention to her other eye and found I was being drawn down to the bottom corner in that case.

Great picture, by the way. I'm sure that'll be getting framed. :)

Thanks rubber. I wanted to take a shot with her left eye as the focus but the moment never came.

Given the angle of the photo, it looks like he was using a telephoto lense, she's not even looking directly in the camera, there's no eye contact. So no, she's not posing for him.

An HDR image is an image made up of multiple images taken at different exposures. You can't create a true HDR image from a single photo.

It was Montreal Fashion Week and it was the bikini fashion show...

She did her thing on the catwalk and no I'm not a professional at all, I'm the average joe just taking pictures around the city...

An example of what a circular polarizer can do for your photo. Notice the contrast in the clouds.

They're really most useful for scenery, particularly in challenging lighting situations. Ever worn polarized sunglasses? Look at the sky and tip your head to the side - the color and contrast of the sky will change, often adding nice definition to clouds. Same goes for pictures involving water - it can reduce glare off the surface and give you a less "hot" image.

They aren't cheap! A good idea is to get one with a thread size fitted to your largest lens, and a couple of step rings to fit it to any smaller ones you want. I wish I'd done this myself.. :|

IF you have a hood however, forget about using it though when you attach a bigger sized screw-in filter and step up ring. More often than not, the hood won't fit over the bigger filter ring.

Incredible long exposure! Where in Paris was this?

[Sgt_Strider]

They're really most useful for scenery, particularly in challenging lighting situations. Ever worn polarized sunglasses? Look at the sky and tip your head to the side - the color and contrast of the sky will change, often adding nice definition to clouds. Same goes for pictures involving water - it can reduce glare off the surface and give you a less "hot" image.

They aren't cheap! A good idea is to get one with a thread size fitted to your largest lens, and a couple of step rings to fit it to any smaller ones you want. I wish I'd done this myself.. :|

Can polarizers be used in extremely bright environment? I was in Beijing during the Summer and some of the shots that I took came out dark even though the location that I was in was extremely bright. I can't really describe it anymore than that, but fortunately I used bracketing and at least one shot came out "well".

I think I know what you mean with the water shots. When I was at the Summer Palace, some of my water scene shots had some glare reflecting from the water. Unfortunately I didn't have a polarizer or any lens to stop that effect from happening.

Not exactly sure where in Paris this was. But it is somewhere around the Louvre. I remember my friends and I walking around after the museum closed and that's when I took this shot.

Yup, a tripod was used. And the camera is a canon xti with 17-85IS lens

Thanks for the compliments!

Gay people love to be photographed and if you're sexually secure (are you?) then church street is one of the best places to do street photography during festivals or events there.

Did a wedding shoot for a friend over the weekend,

the shots are completely unedited No saturday/unsharpen/contrast/etc..etc..
Only resized to 800px.

The reception was held in a condo party room, which provided for slightly difficult shooting conditions (there was always something in the background)...and because of the narrowness of the rooms, I couldn't pull out the 85mm. So all shots, are courtesy of the 5d + 24-105..goodness.

Those are excellent shots Suresh, especially #2 with the baby and the lady smiling at the same time.

IMO a wider focal length is preferable in indoor and confined space to give some "space" to the photos, otherwise the shots might feel a little calustrophobic.

I hope you got some more shots of the lady in belly dancing outfit, she is smoking hot!

I'm sorry but is that dandruff on the guy's head on the right, it looks rather disgusting.

I'm sorry, i had to point that out.

Btw, why did you use focal b&w with the picture? it looks a little awkward.

The reception was held in a condo party room, which provided for slightly difficult shooting conditions (there was always something in the background)...and because of the narrowness of the rooms, I couldn't pull out the 85mm. So all shots, are courtesy of the 5d + 24-105..goodness.


Nice shots..what kind of lighting?

Nice shots..what kind of lighting?

Looks like hotshoe flash to me. I get similar results with the catchlight up on my 40D and RebelXT. The eye glint in the kid in the last photo confirms that for me. The 24-105 is an F4 also...

Of course, Suresh can confirm that or not.

[Suresh]

the lighting wasn't too bad, I used a super 500 to do the job (580ex II was unavailable)..bounced off ceiling with a diffuser cap...the 24-105 performed amazingly well..under pretty fast changing conditions...you have to picture that everyone is constantly moving around and dancing.....look at that out-of-the-box sharpness for example...I'd expect that from a 50mm, 85mm, or the 70-200

Got lots of photos of the bellydancer, she stole the show!

Thanks for the comments guys,

Yeah, that L glass with your 5D is an awesome combination. Did you get any where you were panning so the background has some blur streaks to it by any chance?

Wonderful pictures aximrock.

Really sharp and atmospheric... you could also crop the first picture to raise the horizon from the center - crop the sky.

I would really love to visit banff and Jasper national parks.

[Suresh]

I think it looks perfect the way it is. Don't crop it.

aximrocks very nice pictures! ive been to banff once but it was when i was really young, and ur pics have inspired me to go back!

ps: the pics of the deer and moose are amazing! i assume it was really tough to catch them/get close to them?

[aximrocks]

This was my first visit to Banff/Jasper. I was blown away by the magnificent mountain scenery. These lakes have remarkable turquoise blue color and give a stunning reflection of the mountain/glacier scene. I would love to return and stay longer next time. There are many elk/deer in the Jasper area. The bighorn sheep are seen a lot along the side of the road. I did manage to get close enough for a shot. They are not afraid of people at all! Although the light is low, I had to bump up the ISO to 1600.

couple more pics from Banff/Jasper.

Axim,

What camera and lens are you using?

[drucillica]

Gorgeous pictures, axim!

[ali123]

Yoh Axim that's skill, one of the pics look like the wallpaper that comes with Vista lol

[aximrocks]

What camera and lens are you using?

All photos were taken with my trusty Canon Rebel XT, shot in RAW, converted via DPP, and resized for web. Most landscape shots were taken with a Tokina 12-24 F4 lens. Wildlife shots taken with a 70-200 F4 lens.

[Suresh]

Those are phenomenal pictures, aximrocks. I can't wait to see that part of Canada one day. What time of day were the pictures with the perfect reflections taken? The water must have been so still.

Yes, it's the powerhouse at Boldt Castle.

Early morning from 7 AM till 8 AM. The water was very calm that time.

How did you get all the little lights to twinkle, but not appear like a blur or flash?
Was it photoshoped at all?

[ashgotti]

This was with my old P&S, Fuji F10 (RIP). There was post processing: fixed levels, duplicated layer, guassian blur, overlay mode. :)

Here are some new ones with my new camera, DMC FZ8k:

It's all a matter of which f-stop that you choose.

Taking a pic of any light source with a low f-stop number f/1.8-f/8 will result in your lights being pretty round.

Take the same shot with f/11-f/22 will make your light sources look like stars.
The down side to setting your aperture so small (high number) is that you let less light in and have to keep your shutter open longer. In this case, you have to use a tripod.

In this case nden used f-stop f/22 and had the shutter for 1 full second. Unless his arms are made of stone and he dosen't breathe :) , he prolly used a tripod or rested it on a table.

Tried this technique tonight, f/8 (high as my camera goes) and 13 second exposure, I got twinkles :) thanks.
