Ryan Posted January 31, 2006 Author Share Posted January 31, 2006 Have a picture of the original of the tennis ball? I have a feeling you're trying to discreetly imply that I manipped the [cabbage] out of the tennis ball photo which isn't true. I only did some changes in the levels of the photograph. If you reply again asking for the original or someone else wants it I'll post, but if you're just trying to make a point then it's not worth my time. Thanks for all the great feedback :).

The_Jeppoz Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 For some reasons i realy like the Ball one. For some other reasons i don't like the Sunset one. Probably cause the first one (in my order), while technicaly well taken, ends up giving more emotions than the second, that's pretty blurry and rough somehow. I think you might try changing the "reds" levels/saturations there cause the sunset colors are not all that strong and the pic is somehow depressing. But i myself experimented that most of what we consider beautiful, emotionaly pleasing sights at dusk and dawn can't be taken in a pic and even with a lot of photoediting job won't get close to the original at all... *sniffle* A friend of mine actualy tends to take a couple shots on a tripod in fast sequency, one with low ASA and the other with high ASA, covering the black, noisy parts of the second with the clean blacks of the first, still saving the warm results on the sky from the high ASA. That saves the blurry effect you get on Long time shots, where the wind moving brenches and leaves, and clouds themselves, messes up stuff. I also don't like some of the above answers and habit... :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
misterxman Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 The sunset one is great, I like the whole red to blue transition with pure black silhouettes which look cut out. The tennis ball's pretty interested, I but I guess I like the other pic more. Pixel sigs by me.Pixel Art Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Posted February 2, 2006 Author Share Posted February 2, 2006 *? You're kidding me right? Pfft. Sorry, don't wanna put you out any. :roll: No, I'm not kidding you. Here are the steps I took: 1. Image > Image Size > 640x480 2. Image > Adjustments > Auto Contrast 3. Image > Adjustments > Levels Here's the original : http://img424.imageshack.us/img424/4467/tennisballoriginal9iq.png Yes, they look different, but I don't feel I did enough Post-editing for it to be a photo manip. I'm sorry if you disagree. TJ - thanks for the great critique :). Same for you mrx. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Jeppoz Posted February 2, 2006 Share Posted February 2, 2006 No problem. I hope you don't mind if i changed the composite levels of the pic the way it pleases my creepy mind :) http://img315.imageshack.us/img315/7678 ... yan9ju.jpg this one comes from some messing around on separate levels: http://img135.imageshack.us/img135/2144 ... unk6mf.jpg If it does just let me know and i'll remove the link ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or where I said that if you manipulate a picture that you take it doesn't count as a picture? Altogether I feel it's a pretty crappy composition (tennis ball) but the picture looks pretty interesting. If you had in fact photographed that with no post work, I was going to ask you how you had your camera setup. I've been doing alot of photography lately and was interested as to how I could possibly get a look like that on some of the pictures I'm taking. I thought maybe you used a filter on your camera. Relax, nobody is out to get you. We all know what happens when you assume, and this is a perfect example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess your sarcastic comments towards others in the past made me get aggressive which I shouldn't have done. I apologize and won't do it again. Unfortunately, I'm completely at the beginning of learning photography so I woudl have no clue how to achieve that without post work. If you happen to find out shoot me a note.

johnathont01 Posted February 3, 2006 Share Posted February 3, 2006 As people have already said the first shot is somewhat grainy and bland. However, the second shot is really good. Its perfectly shot and i love the detail. Great job overall. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been shooting alot of film lately... I own an older Canon AE-1 (SLR) with several very good lenses and lots of filters for it. There are some things you can do to manipulate pictures in the dark room, but obviously nothing like you can do with digital. The challenge here is being able to get something like that without editing it so heavily. If you had done that ball without editing I would have been amazed. I'll have to post some of the film stuff I'm doing... I haven't yet decided if I like it, since I'm so in love with digital. Glad you're impressed, LP.

Alduron Posted February 10, 2006 Share Posted February 10, 2006 You could achieve a similar look by using painting with light. ~Alduron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
