S1/S2/S3 pics. thread

[lastboltnut]

Cannot lah. Me have a long long way to polish before I can even reach the end of S3's learning curve......I haven't learn many skills, ie pan-shooting, macro, fast shutter pic, potrait, flash photography....etc, not time to upgrade yet lah

work hard on the BW and PS no use, must work hard at work then got $ to buy DSLR:bsmilie:

I gues both color and BW works for me with a 'storm' title. It would have been great if there were rough waves in your pics (more dramatic).

Hmm...so you're not just picking up on BW, but also working hard on your PS skills.(don't play play man) :think:

Time for a DSLR upgrade bro!!:thumbsup:

Looks like Derek was the only one with better shots in the DXO event. Agree, I couldn't find anything that night at equal distance. I should have gone manual on it. Nevermind lah, there's always other shows to shoot.

Wah, still go again ah. You all really bikini siao!

derek seems interested leh. :bsmilie: i only interested in photography, hahahaha~ tt day i missed out the whole performance since my eye was only in the viewfinder. LoL~

i haven't seen much of derek's shot yet, but i got some slightly sharper and still photos too, but nothing interesting abt it so i nv post them up here lor..

budden again... blur photos could b good photos too, it's the "feel" that counts, isn't it? :bsmilie:

here other the other shots that also are considered ok:

oh by the way, i used auto to shoot all this nicer shots, some manual shots was really bad lor...

 

[GeckoZ]

Ha!! After taking the shots and see the colour not too vibrant, might as well make it BW. Anyway, BW suites the "storm" title better, what do you think?

And hey! using channel mixing really gives better BW leh, can get the contrast between the RBG!

i dunno how to use channel at all leh.. but i find ur BW not good enough. mine is also not perfect. those pro's BW is really damn zai wan. :thumbsup:

ur BW looks kinda like taken from camera BW.. need more contrast.

I bet to differ, LASTBOLT NUT B/W pic was nicely taken. It gives me a kind of wwII look. :thumbsup:

Anyway, about using PnS cameras for fireworks.

No prob. I used my old Nikon coolpix 3700 to take the previous 2 year's NDP firework, ok leh. Picture quite good, just switch to auto mode or fireworks mode on ur dial can produce "Pro" pics liao.
This is how pro I am !!! :bsmilie: I am a Pro Dial user.

:thumbsup:

i would refer this as a fun shoot lar, cos for artistic or great shots, u really have to think abt the composition and framing first b4 u shoot. not tt kind of "i-like-this-view-i-take-out-camera-shoot-lor" picture. if u noticed, the building at the left is blocking the beautiful scene liao... it doesn't have a purpose to appear in the picture at all, unless u frame it differently..

The fireworks function isn't on the dial-mode itself. It should fall under the SCN mode.

Yah, of course my BW cannot compare with the Pro's, cos I am not a Pro.:bsmilie: I am a newbie still learning.

But to be fair to the channel mixing technic I have to say this, when you do channel mixing, then you can tell the diff from normal BW direct from the cam.

Contrast for BW is not always there unless there is really a luminance contrast in the real scene, if not, even if you use a SLR BW film also cannot get the contrast (ie. if you take a BW pic of a 2 pieces of paper with similar luminance , you won't get the contrast). That's why even bw SLR users need to use colour filter to get the required contrast on their film......

The "storm" pic didn't have much contrast is because even in colour, they are the same hue, so where to find much contrast? If you look at my changi airport recycle bin pic, the three bins are in 3 diff colour actually. I manage to get the 3 tones of the 3 bins in such contrast with channel mixing (can mix in RBG mode, same principle as using colour filter on BW SLR). If you use BW mode on your cam, you will probably get the 1st and 3rd bins will the same tone. It was after this trial then I told David that channel mixing is really good..... Still learning.....learning......and will share here for those interested of my experience.

Any experience to share on BW?

i dunno how to use channel at all leh.. but i find ur BW not good enough. mine is also not perfect. those pro's BW is really damn zai wan. :thumbsup:
