Nice black and white Yvonne :)
Very strong. Is it infrared ? Or at least some parts of it...
Thank you for posting here. :)

Excellent Vandenberg :) As usual...

Tell me:
Which lens are you using in these great image ?
50mm on a full frame body ? Or 1.6 crop camera ?
Which aperture ? f/2.8 or wider ?

Yes, Antonio, it is infrared, I have a camera modded just for that kind of shooting.

Thanks for your comment and for hosting this thread.

Yvonne :) please don't thank me for hosting this thread. I just started, that's all :)

I am sure the modification of a camera into the infrared area is a most interesting option. What I don't like is the fact that one has to carry 3 cameras instead of 2 and sometimes, the back complains. I mean, our back, our column. :)
I usually - or frequently - walk with two cameras what, after a few hours, is painful :) Age you know... :)

Can we have another one of these nice images, please ?
Thank you :)

I don't know if this image has any merit, but thought I should post it anyway. And yes, it is one of those dreaded HDR'S.
Cheers.....Edwin.

But of course Edwin :) it does have merit :)
It is a nice image of a beautiful sunset :)
Thank you for posting :)
Have a nice week end :)

This is a picture from Kiedasch Point, close to where I live. We are overlooking the Ohio River here, looking south at Hannibal Locks and the bridge crossing over into New Martinsville, WV.

Nice, not too HDR overcooked. :)

hdr?

I am afraid I don't have one ... :o

Have a look here about bokeh, depth of field, exposure and zoom.

this will be nice for mobile phone cameras
a fluid lens http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qe-lp...layer_embedded

Blur can be emulated in CS5 with more or less success or by using add-ons.
Recently I downloaded one of these to try but I don't feel like spending money on this.
After all, CS5 makes the same things these add-on do but with presets. It is true that they allow a very fast way to work on the images...
Here I post two images. One is the original and the other is using one layer and mask.
I don't really know how to do it in perfection.
Later I hope to be able to show you the same image with the plug-in.

it dont looks natural
looks a bit like the person is set in the frame by hand

i think this will give a better effect (i used it my self)

Yes I do know that you use this add-on. :D
I have tried it but... I' ll have a go later on and show you the result.
Thank you Vandenberg :)

but for the best bokeh, buy a prime 1.4 or 1.2L or if you have lots of cash a 1.0L :rolleyes:

The bokeh monster The Canon 50mm f/1.0 L superfast SLR lens
He sucks more light inside then a black hole :D
