Great shots!

 

great shots!

The closer I get to fatherhood the more and more I enjoy looking at pictures of babies/little kids.

HAHA

 

I do almost the same thing with a piece of seamless that I tape to a wall and drape over a glass table. Much easier. Also, the light needs a piece of sheet or something to soften it up. Otherwise, this is a nice little setup for the occasional product shoot.

 

What a nice portrait!

 

Seems over sharp to me..

What's the difference with an HDR anyways?

 

Nice photos Connor, but the HDR is just a bit overdone IMO. You can see halos around the objects that were previously underexposed. A good HDR shouldn't really look like an HDR.

I'll admit, I've actually never messed with HDR either so take my word with a grain of salt.

 

I think that's the way to go. Believe it also with my audio stuff

 

I don't understand the HDR concept..what is it?? Just lots of post work??

 

Ahhhhhh gotcha

I can see how that could merit some interesting results. Like layering vocals. Ha

 

Best place to get some kick ass HDR info and schooling. http://www.stuckincustoms.com/

 

You dont call, dont write, and then want me to sell you my gear! Geeeez

 

The idea of HDR is to combine some number of images to obtain an overall even exposure making what would be dark or blown out the same exposure as everything else. To be successful, you need to shoot for the dark and light as well as anything in between. That might take three exposures or more depending on the dynamic range of the scene.

Connor, what you've got going is really tone mapping and that is way over cooked. If you look at the Google result, you can see what I mean. The cityscape is all evenly exposed but not over sharpened or overly tone mapped.

 

Some night shots. Using a old ass flash and long exposure... Hand held the flash.

 

Here's some more HDR how-to stuff.

 

just going back to my IR pano. let me know what you think.

 

Larger version if you have it. Otherwise, my only comment is the lens flare takes away from the over all composition.
