POST YOUR PHOTOS!

[xurusaibobx]

i figure since we have a photography section why not have post just for photos??

idk i am no professional photographer but i like to take pictures here and there and play around with some editing...not the best but i kinda like them...

[asako]

all my photos are in my gallery.......well not all of um

[howzitboy]

http://i15.tinypic.com/4g6tye1.jpg

my first try at panoramic shot. me think i went a bit tooo much. this is 21 shots stitched together and the original file came out to a monster picture 10feet long haha. 165 mb file for one picture is HUGE (over 450mb when i was working on it)!!!
i couldnt get all the colors the same guess cuz the clouds came and went when i shot it.

edit: oo , when i posted it up , it was shrunk down. wonder how big a picture i can put up? i can go huge u know *wink*

http://i18.tinypic.com/2ewh5za.jpg

heres 1600x ?

[ArchangelX]

It'll go as far as you want it too...that's a fantastic shot, man...clean it up a bit more and it'd be prilliant to print out! :D

[howzitboy]

really hard to get all the colors to match up *sigh* when u are working it, u are lookin at small portion and cant tell not same as next until u look at the whole thing.

http://i17.tinypic.com/29dd98x.jpg
i found my close up adapters in the closet so tried em out.

http://i16.tinypic.com/4dor637.jpg

this one is my "small" try. the original is only 90" long hehe thats like 7 and half feet long picture. only 15 shots stitched together but again, cant get the water color to match.

[ArchangelX]

It almost looks as if the water is just reflecting the clouds, so it looks alright to me. :)

[howzitboy]

Canon?? u gotta go Nikon FTW!! haha j/k. guess u can tell im Nikon boy.

[Phut]

i was debating between a D50 and a XTi. i felt more comfortable with the XTi than the D50. i'll post more pics later. the more i play with the camera, the more fun i'm having.

[xurusaibobx]

hows the d40/50 compare to the XT? or XTI....

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v240/xurusaibobx/P1010458.jpg

[howzitboy]

^ cute puppie! its yellow cuz u shot next to a lamp.
the difference between em is mainly the way u change shutter speed and apertures. Im used to the Nikon ways but I shot Canons before and the wheel is easy to learn.

[xurusaibobx]

yeah i know about the yellow stuff ...i would need filters for that right? if u got a better camera...

[howzitboy]

u can correct it pretty nicely with photoshop.

its the white balance on your camera (on better cameras). u set the balance to that lighting and the picture comes out nice and normal.

to get rid of it another way, use flash to even out the light. flash is white light ie same as sunlight so it will remove that yellow cast.

[MLE]

:shine: I love all of these pictures! They are so beautiful...one of the biggest and best reasons why I love living in Hawaii--great photo backgrounds no matter where you go (for the most part)! LOVE THEM--KEEP THEM COMING! Maybe I'll figure out how to use my little digicam so that I can take some neat pictures, too.

One question--how do you all "choose" your pictures? Is it random, just "take a pic and see how it turns out?" or do you actual "look" for the right look and take the pic? Hubby is the photographer in this family, but he is in the military, so he isn't always around to take pictures. I try my best, but they never come out as good as his.

[ArchangelX]

Absolutely beautiful photos...I love this thread.

[taegu808]

looks like this thread is picking up momentum :) good because the galleries are kind of hidden and not many comments :( so let's fill this up with pics! :)

here's a shot from Makapu'u yesterday at the NE heiau section I hope you like it...

I love the ocean life here, the people, the time. sorry for the heavy crop but trying it out.

http://www.hawaiitalks.net/photopost/data/502/Makapuu_219_.jpg

[MLE]

Love the color of the water in this last pic...it's like a gemstone--blue topaz. Just beautiful! (except for the hand on the side of the pic...looks like the guy is being drug out of the picture or something...LOL! sorry...)

[taegu808]

hahaha yah didn't quite work, wasn't subtle enough. was better another empty wave form shot. :p how about the pics one page back, any feedback?

I want a macro lens someday. this is with a zoom, test test nothing special but the plant itself.

http://www.hawaiitalks.net/photopost/data/502/medium/heliconia.jpg

[MLE]

I like the tidepool pic--it's almost like you are right there, the heiau pic looks a little too "gray" to me.

I love the pics posted by 508to808--those ocean/beach pics are just beautiful! I feel like I'm right there on the beach when I look at those pictures...literally, like I could just go right through the screen and be there. Just beautiful!

That border is all disproportional like. Makes the whole photo look kinda ick. you should fix em

[howzitboy]

hehe i was busted!! haha i just tried a quicky border cuz i was lazy to drag out the rulers and measure. haha u are quick darnnnn, cant slip anything past your hawk eyes.

[taegu808]

almost there? I am standing there LOL :rant: :suitdance: can't control the weather that's the way it was. is my monitor off maybe hmmm. thanks anyways for the constructive criticism! looking forward to your pics someday.

i like that first beach shot the best, nice shot!! im jealous....

http://www.hawaiitalks.net/photopost/data/502/ht_bulbul.jpg
another birdie shot, when im standing around waiting for my couple to arrive and i have my camera in my hand, i shoot shots of anything that moves.

[taegu808]

thank you, you are too kind. I like your photos a lot, way more creative than me. do you know whatever happened to joaquin siopak? had some really great island / beach captures for the newspapers then all of sudden no more. :(

[MLE]

The beach shot is great--definitely feel like I am there! :)

The next one is pretty cool...kind of like something you would see in a movie where the person is just being swallowed by the water...love the color of the ocean in it! I love that aqua color--it's the best!

The sailboat pic is really COOL! I love how the rays of light just come down on either side of it! It's like it has its own natural border around it. I wonder if you crop the foreground some if it would look really good with just the rays of light and a little water in the front?

The keiki just make me smile...that is what I like to see most--happy children just being kids...<sigh> :)

I don't know when I'll be able to post any pics I took/take...not very computer savy, so it takes me forever sometimes to figure out how programs, etc. work. Hubby is the computer geek in this family (as well as the photographer, car guy, etc), so generally don't do much with the 'puter when things need to be done. I know, I know...bad wifey--I know I should learn to be more computer savy, but with four keiki 10 and under, it's hard to find the time sometimes. I'm generally good about figuring things out painfully slow by just "trial and error". Perhaps one of these I'll get the hang of doing crops, borders, etc. with the photoshop program and then be able to post some nice pics like you all do. Otherwise, all I can do is post up pics that come straight off the camera to the computer. On the other hand, I do have a fairly good eye for things (if I do say so myself! LOL!), so I can tell you in pretty good detail what my critiques are of pictures if you want a lot of detaile oriented comments and "stuff". But that's probably not what you are looking for, so I'll keep my critiques low-key.

howzitboy--do you know what kind of bird that is in your picture? I see them all the time and my kids are always fascinated by wildlife and ask if I know what kind of bird it is. I have no idea, so I thought I'd ask. Also, do you know what kind of flower that yellow one is? I see them in red all over the place, but don't the name of them.

durn this cold is messing up my sleep schedule! :p and still playing with the camera. it's pissing me off, see the hotspot at the top of the smoke, the "P" part? is that dust on the sensor? when I enlarge it it looks like like a smudge and a bright cross. argh. must. sleep. haha

[howzitboy]

re:he_thinks_its_his_car, that bird is a red vented bulbul, its one of the pest birds that somehow snuck its way to Hawaii and now is everywhere. There are 2 types of bulbuls, the other is the The Red-whiskered bulbul.

quicky tutorial to resize:
open picture in photoshop, just go to "image" then scroll down to "image size". click that one and look at the top 2 numbers. whichever one is the biggest, change that to like 700 pixels. The second number will automatically change if the " constrain proportions" box is checked.
once its resized, save it as a NEW NAME! if u give it the same name, your original will be permanently shrunk!! Save it as a JPG and u done!!

dust on your sensor comes out as a blackish dot on your pictures so its probably just a flare or reflection on the lens. I dont see a hotspot except at the top left and that looks kewl! only way i see a problem is the bottom of the picture is too dark. Dodge the ashtrash's edges to bring them out some. As it is right now, its unbalanced imho.

just had hour to kill so i headed off to Kapiolani park. Wow, its soo pretty wayy at the end near diamond head.

oops, forgot to add this shot of the fountain by Kapiolani park.

That fountain is B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!!! And the trees you shot were just gorgeous as well. WOW!

taegu808--I really like the shot of the lamp--it's simple and yet, interestingly cool.

smiles--I like the one seashells and sand pic. That would a be great puzzle. :)

[howzitboy]

its fun to shoot digital cuz its free!!! so, get off your computer chair, get your camera and water and just head out and shoot some pictures!! then come and post em up! good or bad, just keep shooting and posting. you will get better.

Yup...that's what I do. Photoshop isn't needed to create beautiful photos :)

[howzitboy]

yeah, photoshop is to make bad pictures beautiful haha

[taegu808]

"fake photography" :p

but it's just another tool (from fine tuning to the proverbial 800 lb. sledgehammer!). I've come to grips with the issue.


nice pearly shells pics :)

[MLE]

I should be able to get some interesting shots this weekend. Will be taking the kiddos to the zoo, so hopefully the shots I take will be good. **fingers crossed**

[howzitboy]

ZOO? take meeee haha i wanna go too but, work again. ill have to go one day with my daughter and get or try to get some shots.

[idiosyncratic]

you guys make me want to get a better digital camera :)!... It's been ages since i've been to the zoo!... my keiki has been there more than I have... I'll have to check it out someday soon...

oh thanx for sharing those great photos... Hopefully I'll have some to share (eventually...) :newbie: if it's a self portrait it'll be like :razzytung:

[taegu808]

trying another one from the day at maks. let it rip, I will give my own thoughts after too, we are our own harshest critics.

http://www.hawaiitalks.net/photopost/data/502/Makapuu_10_.jpg

[MLE]

It must have been a hazy day, the background almost looks like it's painted/colored in with color pencils. I don't know if it's my computer screen or what, but it seems like the picture is too bright. Does that make any sense? Like over exposure maybe? Perhaps it's the shading under the rocks that make it look that way. I just feel like I'm looking at a really bright view so my eyes are trying to adjust to the brightness. Hope that made sense...

[taegu808]

yah it was super bright Hawaiian day and tough to meter - if I exposed for the sky then all detail in the rock would be lost in darkness and a blackened silhouette was not the desired effect; if I exposed for the rock which I did then the sky gets blown out. if I used the on camera flash to fill then I'd lose the shadow modeling since it's blasting straight ahead. I did try to tweak the sky darker after though. luckily it was afternoon so there were side shadows to help model the lava. and that is what struck me first :)

for me I can clearly see the figure of a girl leaning back and staring out to that pastel vista beyond, her face to the sun. she is the very subtle subject of the picture :p I know I'm nuts but that's my vision and it will not resonate with everyone. I'm sorry I could not bring life to rock for you :( I am kinda' happy about the colored in sky comment though :) I like the sky like that and that was the second thing that drew me to the scene along with the dreamy mokus in back. I will turn down some of the extra in cam processing though, it's overboosted.

maybe a gradient filter would help. I'm not big on using filters though. other suggestions for shooting bright sky vs. dark subject elements? w/o hauling around reflectors or other gear?

there's another pic with a face in the rocks that looks like he's presiding over the heiau. at least that's what I see. well, more help and comments appreciated. those of you who haven't already put me on ignore (lol).

aside: while we're on the subject of sky talk, one of the funniest things I overheard while out in the water was these two tourists tripping out on the sky and this one cloud in particular. they were laughing and cracking up saying the same thing, it looks drawn in or fake like they were actually in a scene of the Simpsons :p and now sometimes I look up at the sky and yeah it does look just like a cartoon! that one silly cloud! ok I guess you have to be there.

holy flipping bleeps was googling simpsons clouds and came upon this shot!

http://www.weatheranswer.com/public/Best_cloud.jpg

[MLE]

As soon as you made the comment about the faces, I went back and looked and sure enough! I see them! In fact, I "saw" the man's face looking at the heiau, but I didn't catch the girl until I went back after you mentioned it. Definitely can see her there--she looks like she has her hair pulled back in a ponytail and her knees tucked up--like she's hugging them.

That pic of the mountain is just W-O-W! First thought was flying saucer over a mountain...second thought was one of those portabello mushroom caps over it...third thought was a giant sand dollar floating over it!

[taegu808]

:cry3: (of joy!) yes, she has a ponytail!!!!!! and disappears like an escher picture when you walk closer or away because it's all "just rocks". I want to go back to Puu O Mahuka too. last time focused on the beach views but want to try the heiau again. don't know how many poor souls were sacrificed at the altar there but that is the one Hawaiians of the day did not shed a tear to see shut down. that heiau you cannot enter only walk around the perimeter.

random wedding shot...

http://www.hawaiitalks.net/photopost/data/502/ht_plumeria.jpg
plumeria are blooming at work. I shoot this thing a zillion times and hate everyone of them. Just cant get a shot I like.

coo! post more wedding stuff. what churches do you usually go to? Im at waioli, and blue lagoon a lot. ech. I dont recognize this church... primarrie?

[howzitboy]

waioli and blue lagoon? ive shot them both. Ive shot blue lagoon when it was just built. tuff place to shoot with those jets zooming right overhead. U cant hear youself scream its soo loud. great place for a church huh?
and waioli , havent shot there in while, really dark small church but has its own personality. 30min weddings are killer!!!
that flower shower is at Aloha ke Akua chapel in Kahaluu, by Kaneohe. its hot hot hot there today and muggy. And with that smelly horse making his poo all over the place, smells great too haha

[MLE]

Ok, so now I'm really mad at this computer and myself--I can't seem to figure out how get the stupid pics from the hard drive to here so we can see it. :mad: I keep opening up the pic from the hard drive and all I can get is Adobe Photoshop Starter and then nothing. I've even gone to different programs and still nothing--stupid computer won't even let put it into an email so that I can send it to someone to post for me. AAAARRRGGGHHHH! I hate techonology!!!

[ArchangelX]

Did you try uploading it to our Gallery? Just click on the gallery, and hit upload photos:

http://www.hawaiitalks.net/photopost/uploadphoto.php

If you can't find it do this: Right-click on the file, copy, then pasting it to your desktop. Then when you upload, just click on the desktop...it's much easier to find that way.

You could also change the extension to .txt, and then upload it as an attachment? I can fix it from there...

[taegu808]

I know what you mean I hate stupid computers sometimes too! :/ as long as you know where the files are on your pc then do like Mike said and click on Gallery, then Upload Photo that's the easiest.

will be traveling soon but logging in time to time so putting up some snapshot flower pics for when I get homesick. and of course the plants blooming and mangoes ripening when I won't be around to see em! darnit :p

this one took awhile to establish and now the buds are popping like little firecrackers pop pop pop

A picture I took of the sunset from the top of Mauna Kea. I need a better camera!!!

[taegu808]

:) nice giraffe shot it's really camoflauged (sp) good!

cory was it snowing up there then too?

[corytomo]

Nope, no snow! But it was friggan cold!!! And stupid me, I didn't bring warm enough clothes to stand out in the wind and take pics while the sun was setting...

[MLE]

Thanks about the pic...I can't believe it turned out like that since I was trying to crop out the people who were standing in front of me and trying to keep my two youngest ones from getting lost in the crowd.

I wish had gotten some good shots of the peacocks that were running around all over. Apparently two were fighting over a female because they were just chasing each other around and really making a lot of noise. One was so loud and ran right in front of my youngest (2 1/2 yrs. old) and scared her to death! For a little while after that she just stuck by me and kept saying "I don't like birds anymore." Poor thing, she'll one of those who will be scream at the sight of peacock feathers or something.

I'd like to get to the observation tower of Mauna Kea one of these days...I imagine it would be something like Mt. Fuji. I've been to the top of that and it is freakin' COLD! Even at the end of July/beginning of August there is snow up there and the weather is not very cooperative, you know?

[howzitboy]

wed day off so I got off my butt and went out hiking!! I went up Tantalus trail, the one at the top and wasnt too hard, cept the beginning when I was gasping for breath haha.
i went trying to get a shot of some birds but that trail is soo overgrown, u cant even see the sky... so, heres a few shots i took (with a little pp to give it mood!!)

http://i12.tinypic.com/66otd3r.jpg
this was shot on way there, kewl spot with such a nice view.

http://i8.tinypic.com/6bjmnnm.jpg
this is near the beginning, was a little muddy so dont wear your slippers when hiking err like I did.

http://i19.tinypic.com/6ew3tr9.jpg
this was shot on my way out, really nice day but soo hot. I got sunburnt.. again lol

well worth the trip if u like hiking, junk if u want to get shot of birds lol.

[taegu808]

man, I am a zillion miles away. hope you don't mind if I post a city pic here. this, if you can believe it, is not an art gallery but someone's living room! let me know if you'd like to see more and I'll send you some links later. for sure let me know if you'd like to buy the place~!!! lol!

back to Hawaii shots, got a cool wide angle before the windows got all foggy
sigh.

[howzitboy]

i like that shot of dh from the plane. lucky u got on the right side to catch it. Im always over a wing or in the middle isles when i fly so no mo shots....

and what a crazy house!! much be nice being rich huh?

[taegu808]

am lucky to specifically request my seats for the views :)
(BTW UAL FTW!)

re: the ArtHouse, that's just a small sample too. There's also an artists studio downstairs and another working area upstairs which is sortof a loft area with a bed. 2nd floor outdoor hottub. Huge place. AND if that wasn't all, attached is yet another building that is a full on multi-artist space and working art gallery. at least 5,000 sf? heady territory for certain.

like x,000 feet high
here's the approach to SFO and the wild waterways of the SF Delta and Foster City! Like Hawaii Kai these people have boat decks in their backyards. and settlement problems. LOL!

http://i83.photobucket.com/albums/j303/taegu808/SF%202007/ac6e0b7f.jpg

[MLE]

Oh wow! those are some great pics! I love the aerial views of Hawaii and SF! That house is awesome!

I'm having a heck of a time trying to get my pics up again...I've got to resize them so they can be uploaded. That other pic was just resized by accident and now I can't find the original pic in the original size! AAARRRGGG!!!!:shakesfist: I so hate technology!!

[taegu808]

I feel your pain :( Try to keep things simple? Use windows explorer to go through all the subdirectories. The camera software will follow some kind of common scheme when it copies to your pc, like using the photo date to file them into sub-directories. if that file was resized and then saved, then the original may be gone forever as it was overwritten. a big p.i.t.a. yes. but you should be able to find it somewhere.

storage is getting cheap now too. wait for a sale and buy an external xx GB hard disk and then transfer all photo files just to that drive then pics will never be able to run away and hide :p

glad you like the aerial shots. can't open the window so have to shoot through the glass and no time to fuss around with filters. still having much fun though. here's one of Pier 39 and the City!

Comments please?

Your pictures seem very centered. Not always a bad thing, but using the rule of thirds can sometimes make an image more interesting.

[ikeyballz]

dude, blaze, thats some nice shit! lolz, howd you get the pics so nicely zoomed and all?

just got my 40d and 35mm lens. only alteration was with (demo)noise ninja/bibblepro right off the raw file.

http://www.hawaiitalks.net/photopost/data/500/dotsy.jpg

what else should i do to the pic to make it "complete"? crop out some of the turf in the front or does that make a sort of stage? is that the right amount of blur in the background and foreground?

should i have focused on mario first and then moved the cam to the left so that more of the left spider would be in view behind the pez frog?

b

ps. i think i gots to read the camera instruction manual as it was hard to focus with the 9 points trying to focus on everything.

pps. is this the biggest the photo can get uploaded on HT? the photo before uploading was screen sized.

Depends what you were trying to capture.

ps. i think i gots to read the camera instruction manual as it was hard to focus with the 9 points trying to focus on everything.

RTFM is usually good. As a personal preference, I switched mine to use the center AF point using the AF Point Selection button (from the back is the top most right button) and using the main dial (front index finger dial near shutter button) to switch AF points.

Something I learned this past weekend while shooting at the OIA championship game is that on the 40D, there's this other button on the back called <AF-ON> AF Button. I thought it used during Live View but found out you can use this to focus on your subject and use the shutter button to get the exposure and capture the image. On previous models (10D, 20D), you would have had to configure the AE / AF lock button to perform that function. Using this function is actually easier when shooting action stuff. Takes a while to get used to it though. I don't use it during other types of photography. Well, I haven't yet.

pps. is this the biggest the photo can get uploaded on HT? the photo before uploading was screen sized.

I don't know. I usually re-size my images to 600x400 (or close to it) before uploading anywhere to save space on the server and time uploading. Besides, I'd rather have control on the re-size instead of the server doing it which can cause a few images to become blurry.

I've been experimenting with tone mapping down HDR images. Here are two pics I took today on a Ferrari cruise:

[Shinigami052]

ZFF I hate your photos only because I'm fricken jealous of the hot cars!

1st one looks like ur missing the highs and lows (got a good mid going) try taking a more extreme exposure of the highs and lows and try again. Or you could try upping the tone for those two layers.

2nd...It looks like your missing the highlights in ur tonemap. Try upping the highlight layer or take a more over exposed image next time...

i like this pic. with it's subdued tones, it reminds me slightly of those black & white pics of yesteryear; giving it a nostalgic kind of feeling to it... somehow. It's like a classic portrait of a photographer... All's that's missing is that big bulb instead of that newer flash unit. :gapteeth:

[zff]

I'm a noobie at this, so I'm probably going to ask questions that sound really dumb.

1st one looks like ur missing the highs and lows (got a good mid going) try taking a more extreme exposure of the highs and lows and try again. Or you could try upping the tone for those two layers.I'm not even sure I understand what you're saying. You mean my overexposed picture need to be more overexposed and my underexposed picture needs to be more underexposed? How can you tell that just by looking at my picture?

I use the Automatic Exposure Bracketing feature of my Rebel XT, and it can only go up and down 2 stops (not sure if I'm using the right words). I like using the auto-bracketing, because I don't want to deal with a tripod. I just set it to "continous mode" (again, I don't know what the right terms are), and all I have to do is point and hold down the button. It'll snap off the three shots in rapid succession. It's SOOO much easier to deal with.

2nd...It looks like your missing the highlights in ur tonemap. Try upping the highlight layer or take a more over exposed image next time...Again, no idea what you're talking about. I just tweak the settings in photomatix until I get the look I want. If there's a good formula for the tone mapping, I'd love to know what it is. It seems to take me forever to get it where I'm happy with it. I don't even know what I should be looking for. Got any good links where I can learn more about this stuff?

is it possible for you to send me the images you worked with? I can post up an example of what I'm talking about...

I'll email them to you when I get home, but that's not going to be until kinda late tonite. You want the full 8-megapixel originals or do you want me to resize them to something smaller first?
