Here is a thread to post your photography in. Please do not post anything that you would post in the "post your picture" threads. Also, please make sure it is your OWN photography (or at least something you were closely involved in).

Try to keep discussions on-topic—commenting on other's photos or discussing cameras or photoshop methods are both good options.

I realize that there are photo albums on each user's profile page, but personally I don't tend to make the effort of going to check if so-and-so posted any new pictures.

Oh, and do me a grand favor and try not to diss other people's photos, even if they suck.

Have at it!

Kleenex ghosts that the kiddos made for Halloween (and hung on their chandelier and all along the stair railing).

My awesome gnome, guarding the dying produce. Poor tomatoes didn't have a chance, seeing as how it snowed in early October and all.

I recently signed up for this photo editing program called Picnik. I really like some of the filters I have, and this way I don't have to go through the trouble of using photoshop (and getting an imperfect result, at that).

I had a Nikon point & shoot too, and it was actually really awesome... Great bang for your buck. It was particularly good at outside shots where you didn't need the flash--even close-ups. It was very detailed and had great colors.

I'm currently using a Canon Rebel XT, but I admit that I don't know how to use it at all and mostly rely on the automatic settings. I really need some booklets and/or tutorials and/or classes.

loka
11-15-2009, 01:38 AM
I learned how to mess around with a Rebel through just dicking around with it and taking random photos that didn't mean much. That's how I learned. Even my Nikon point and shoot seemed to have some things that weren't quite touched upon in the manual.

Very cool idea. I have quite a few pics lying around and so I worked on some for the last hour so that I would have something to post. I physically took all of these pics :wtg:

Unfortuantly the images are too big to upload from this connection. I will see if I can get it on deviantart....

Although I do not have a good camera (actually none at all) I do travel (often) to some of the most beautiful places in the world. Thanks to this thread I have decided to actually post up work on deviantart and hopefully show more people the amazing things that I have seen in this world.

I'd be interested to see the originals and hear how you get from those to the final product. They seriously look professional.

11-15-2009, 02:31 PM
I will shrink the originals and upload them. But yea I spent like a few seconds on each pic. 99% of the time was actually spent computing the effects. What I did was reduce brightness and increase contrast. In two of them I then colorized. Next I cartooned them and then oil painted them. Lastly for some I game a canvass effect becuase I wanted to see how it might look as an actual pic.

Yeah, I can see how it makes quite a difference. It kind of sounds like a lot of steps to go through--how did you learn what to do? Just played around with it?

ZERO
11-15-2009, 03:10 PM
Well although I am not very familiar with photo editing I am use to video editing. So I knew I could bring out the color more with the brightness and contrast. As for the others I know them from playing around. I knew I wanted to make it look like a painting so I clicked the cartoon button and then the oil button after that. If I did not like the effect I just undid it and did something else or just altered the settings on the effect. It may have been made easier b/c I was listing to Led Zeppelin...

I dont get to travel to far places alot but i do get to see people and places that most never see, I do alot camping and hiking which most people never do anymore, So you used GIMP to do your editting I may have to look into that program, any ways heres some more pics that I have scanned in

A few more.

The first one is when The Kid's best friend came over (they keep saying they want to marry each other), and I thought she had the cutest little buttons on her leggings. Second is a windchime that my mom sent to me from Florida for my birthday. Third one I actually took myself (a little tricky). And the last one is a picture I made with my little guy from the dying leaves we collected in his backyard. I admit that I stole the idea from a picture I saw on deviantart.
