Recent Works IIb

[dustblue]

Thank you Thomas:) I hope so too.

I got you like that.
Problem is: none would post images in a thread one is not "proud of"  
But if the new thread keeps rolling like started by now... you will not find too many snapshots in that thread but (hopefully) a lot of great works.

Having some fun working out a serie I started a year ago. Dreams. (It sofar only has 2 images which shows how much time I get to spend on it ) A version of one image that I feel is now halfway but still needs more work. Most of these things tend to get better when I pick them up again when some time has passed. I find it quite difficult to do while still keeping the file at about a healthy 30MP.  I guess I need to put this here since it is a personal project

Image made with A17/CW503/100/3.5 & CF39/H2/35.

Local private school commissioned this photo to show new education building in the bkg. with new football field in the foreground. Shot with Mamiya 645 AFD + 35mm + Hassey CF39MS.

I have to disagree. I LOVE shooting wide open, and like you, I just picked up that 80/1.9 as well. But with such a strong and defined subject with nothing in focus at all, it just looks like an outtake. Maybe if the foreground grasses were in focus (they look close to focus, but not quite). The magenta cast in the sky is also noticeable.

Just my opinion. I like the colors alot though.

Graham,

Great shot of the car! I'm amazed I like it as much as I do given my lack of interest in the subject. All to your credit.
I much prefer the color. There seems to be much more going on in it.

Were you focused the same for all the shots? I get a vague feeling of discontinuity which adds to the interest.

Best,

Mitchell

Isn't the 80  1.9 just sweet for an old cheap gem.....:+} I love mine.

Also Graham you say the car shot is of a ?? number of photos stitched?..
What was the purpose of doing all that work for that image..
Great shot but not sure why all the stitched pictures? To have a higher resolution image?
Thanks...
Looks like this thread picked up after Dustblues insults of snapshot photography...:+]
Maybe he should have named the other thread..


The Super over retouched, is it a picture? is it a photograph anymore recent proud works...:+]

Great snapshot's guys..

Hi Steve,

Your file has a colorsync profile of ProPhoto RGB attached, so for "non-color space-aware" browsers it will look a bit "off". Saving the file with sRGB profile should solve the problem for browsers which don't accommodate other profiles. In PS CS3 it's under the Edit menu near the bottom. "Save for Web" does it too, but I don't use that tool.

Cheers,

Dale

That was the problem!!!  I  will try another travel snap shot....a cliche pic..Monument Valley...Hassy SWC[attachment=9007:Monument_Valley.jpg]

Yes

[Graham Mitchell]

Also Graham you say the car shot is of a ?? number of photos stitched?..

Yes, 18 shots.

There was lots of overlap between the images. Then I needed many shots to get a wide FOV. I could also have gone closer to the car to make the effect more extreme but I don't have a pano head so it could cause stitching issues. If I see another interesting subject I'll try to get closer and post the results.

Thanks for the explanation, Not sure I grasp it yet..

Could you not have taken the same shot with a semi wide angle and got the same effect..?
Or did you actually move around to get different perspective.
I have never fooled around with stitching except for some sudo panoramic images I have tried and then ran them through PtGui program to have them aligned correctly.

Don't want to take any more of this thread up but thanks for the information, I appreciate it.

Did you have to move on a straight line back and forth to keep  everything on the same line, and if so where those movements just very little ones?? Trying to grasp the idea...:+}

Looks like you shot with larger format camera or with tilts...
Nice shot by the way...
Thanks

Yes, if I happened to an f1 24mm lens lying around

Graham,
was it easy for the software to stitch together
or did you do it manually?

A mixture. I used PTGui for the warping, and I made alpha channels in PS. That took some time. It's a big file with 16 layers!

[wolfnowl]

I took a photo of this car in my street. It is a stitched pano made of 18 images, taken at f2.8 with an 80mm lens. This gives a pretty unique look.

Do you prefer colour or b&w?

Definitely the B&W.

Mike.

Nicely done!  Will be interesting to see the final result...

f1.4 near enough ?

But the 50mm may be not be wide enough    shame though DOF will be fun.

35mm or 1.3 M8 crop only though- sorry.

I was using the old Summilux 35/1.4 aspherical on my M8 tonight for night street images. I'll try and post some photos.
I wish Leica made some fast lenses for their new system.
