The Creative Photography Thread - If It Ain't Bokeh, Don't Fix It

[B-hazard]

Since the subject is not moving it would probably be easier to just use a long-exposure near a evenly lit light source.

Fuck, I had like 5 hours of sleep last night so I'm not thinking right.
Here's some old stuff since I haven't had an opportunity to go out recently.

It's frustrating only having a 10.2" screen to work with. When I edit photos, I can basically only see a thumbnail of the image, and hope that it comes out ok. Or I can zoom in to a tiny part of the photo. Makes it difficult to have a consistent style.

By the way, that geotag is almost 100% accurate.

Got some great shots tonight, its A LOT of trial and error to focus manually at night. We were at a partly abandoned mental hospital and closer to summer we're going to break into the abandoned wing and get some creepy as fuck shots. My friend said he saw a face when playing football near it one night. FUN :smile:

HDR is overdone. Remember HDR is just used to get more consistent lighting with large contrasts in bright light and deep shadows.

[➤◉──────────]

at least put in a little more effort than a black scribble on the license plate.

most people use the blur tool or something, the more creative insert different letters/numbers.

[Gaboer]

Yeah, i should have done better, it was quick since i noticed it after i posted.

I like to go through this thread just to look at the pictures. It makes me feel more connected with the world and everything going on in it- especially with the nature photos and photos of people. So, thanks everyone. :3:

I'm not a big fan of HDR. I don't like the finished look of it.

I only like it if it's subtle, unlike the picture a few posts up.

[➤◉──────────]

I google image'd HDR expecting to see some atleast decent examples - all of it is shit.

I've never seen it done in a way that actually looks good.

[/B/rother]

Let me see if I can dig something up.

Would look nicer IMO without the blue pole. Ik there's no way to remove it though (or nothing easy).

Still a very nice shot, I have no fucking idea how tired I am because I looked at it 3 times before I noticed that was actually a light, not the moon... Didn't even notice the blue pole up to that point.

Edit: oh damn it, pageking on a mobile post; 5 minutes later and I'll have loaded my Flickr.

Here's a shot:

Haven't had much content lately; I'd love to just drive into Vancouver and take some street shots but well, I'm 14. A few more years until that happens I guess. That's what's kinda demotivating me is that it's hard to find stuff in the small repetitively-placed neighbourhood I live in.

I live with a ravine behind my house and a park/forest across the street in front. Ive been in the park many times but haven't found much to shoot (saw some coyotes a month ago; killed myself for not having my camera). Anyways, I will probably end up venturing down the ravine this weekend, though it is rather steep.

C&C on above shot and feel free to give me more C&C on any of my latest shots on Flickr.

D'aww thanks :)

I got my intervalometer through, going to start experimenting with timelapses... but I'm super worried about wearing out my mechanism. Just gonna keep it to relatively long intervals I think, for sun shadows etc, and use my point n shoot for cloud movements/people/traffic. Stay tuned.

[Angoose]

[QUOTE=Ferosso;28407259]If you're going to use flash(es), do a multiple exposure stack/merge photo. Otherwise, just completely forget about the flash.

find an area with no illumination, or even illumination (by even, I mean that all sides of the car is being lit equally) and set the WB to as neutral as possible. This will get you better results.[/QUOTE]

know any guides for the photoshop part?
