Photography of ATS Members

When attending a party in an old castle, I wandered off to a playroom with a lot of old toys (-on my way, to trespass into a wine-cellar...). I had to whip up my D70, and take a picture, when I noticed that these tin-soldiers. They weren't quite what I imagined I would find



I am kind of amazed, that they actually survived post-WWII.

While I am at it, here is a picture from last year, taken in a park. crowded by girls, of all species...

Thanks LoganCale I like your shots aswell, very surreal.

Ulvetann that shot with the deer is crazy. Very distirbing, it is almost as if the deer are not real.

This is an Orthodox Catholic Church located in the City I live in.

Enjoy!

Just a pic I snapped after last weekend's snowstorm.


It was early morning and the feel/view was almost surreal and serene at the same time.

parrhesia: I really like the photos of the flowers.

I went to an old army camp from the 1800s in the mountains near here today and photographed for a few hours. This photo of the barracks is one of my favorites.



This was all right too, but not my favorite.

On my way home from work tonight:

Just a snapshot off the stern of the boat I'm taking care of over the winter. Nothing special, just thought the ice looked neat.

parrhesia, it must be evening when you go home from work? Nice picture. It is morning when I go home from work, as seen here. And I need to buy a better camera... lol

I recently pieced together my tax return...er...I mean...PC

Here are some shots....

The power supply LED can switch between red, green and blue (tacky, I know...but cool - lol)


Who needs a nightlight when I've got my PC....


Resistence is futile....


PCs of the corn....Reek! Reek! Reek!


Full frontal with all the lights in the house on.....I got scared

Nice 'pooter, Enron!
Somehow, I understand the reason of being afraid, when the 'pooter glows at you, even when all the light are on in the house...
I, for one, gets flashback to the infamous HAL9000, and it's not so docile attitude!

I hope it isn't running Windows, then it surely pwnz joo!

I've been doing a lot of HDR images the past few days using Photomatix, which is so awesome I just bought it. No, they didn't pay me to say that. There's a demo version that lets you do stuff, but with watermarks. Although if you keep the image under 600 pixels or so at the max dimension, some of the settings don't apply watermarks. Anyway, enough.

For those who don't know what HDRI is, it stands for High Dynamic Range Imaging. And it allows images to have a wide range of tone that a digital camera cannot capture in one exposure. Basically, using this software, you can take a series of photographs at different shutter speeds, using a tripod, and the program will take all the properly exposed parts from each photo and combine them together into one evenly exposed shot. It can make some really surrealistic stuff and it can also make some really AWESOME stuff.

Here's a photo made with this technique:


And here are the photos that make it up:


That was basically my initial test and it's not a nice photograph at all, but it shows the technical capabilities really nicely. Rather than having one area well exposed and the rest washed out or vice versa, it gives nice even exposure across everything.

Here are some nicer photos using the technique:

Wow...That's one incredible piece of software....An ingenious idea really

The potential this software could have with just landscapes is tremendous, but I bet there's another realm of multiple digital exposures one could creatively explore....

I've got to give that a test! Your two shots there have got me bug-eyed at their richness and seamless exposure!

Can this software combine RAW files and merge them as one RAW?

I was doing tons of bracketing when I first got my RebelXT and found a few files to practice on....

Pretty incredible results for not touching a single thing in Photoshop besides image size...







Here I created a "multiple exposure" of a couple firework shots...

I can't wait to shoot with this software in mind now....Mwa ha ha!! Thanks for sharing

Haven't seen it support RAW files. I saved them as TIFF files and then back to a tif file.

Yours look really good, Enron. I really love how it can correct things like that in addition to creation the really weird, surrealistic stuff.

For example, this one was a combination of four photos:


But it doesn't really look like an HDR image, which is what I was going for. I just managed to get it looking fairly natural like it should've rather than having it be pitch black inside when the outside was nicely lit.

Wow! Nice tip! This will make my girlfriend, reaaaally flaring her nostrils to me, sitting quietly in my room, 'wasting hours infront of a computer', 'forgetting' to pay attention to her!

I'll have a hard time telling her; 'Leave me alone, I am an artist, working!'
