Nice pics...

I haven't seen a dog like that before... What's it ?
Which camera are you using ?

Please tell the method you used for taking the trailing light effect and the torch effect.

Thanks
Im using a cannon eos 1000D and its a poodle i think its just a small breed

To do the light trail:
you need a room that is pitch black and a tripod.
set you camera exposure to like 15" (15 secs) or more!
put it on the tripod or somthing very steady
take the picture and wave the torch around
DONE!!!

enjoy snapping

Have you tried out the effect with the light trails yet?

[Arve K.]

Nice pictures I really liked the one with the lady bird.

And you have the same camera as I have, so if I could, I would rate you

No. I don't have a camera. But I'm trying to figure out if it is possible via my mobile's camera

i dont think it will work using a camera on a mobile as you cant change the exposure

[akhileshbc]

Does any one use tripods when photographing?

[wossname]

Yes, but only one at a time. I put it between the camera and the ground.

funny guy, what tripod do you use?

[wossname]

It's a Manfrotto (highly recommended, the construction quality is excellent) with a 3-axis head (pan, azimuth and roll). It's with spending some cash on a decent set of legs. Mine is a decent low-end model that set me back £100. It's got a quick-release plate too, which is actually a very good feature. It also has teflon coated contact surfaces to allow smooth panning and tilting, all axes are lockable via hand-tightened screws.

The heavier the tripod, the more stable it will be. DO NOT buy one where the legs are connected to one-another. That will limit your deployment options too much. Make sure the legs are completely independent of each other.

This is similar to the one I use...

I also bought the heaviest tripod in the shop, which I think is a Manfrotto as well. (I haven't used it for a while...)
It's very stable, but slow to adjust. This is ideal for long exposures but not good for wildlife.

The other tripod I have is a very lightweight, cheap thing. I put a ball head on it and use it to stabilise a telephoto lens for panning shots.

What's the use of HDR images ? I have seen it using in 3d Max for creating great reflection and other things. But don't know much about it

[ben8you]

It is will cs2 student although the results are not very good

Hmm..! There'll be a better one out there. There must be one.
I'll try some googling.

[abhijit]

Photomatix is ideal for HDR. it is definitely cheaper than Photoshop. So far all my attempts with Photomatix have resulted in a collosal failure.

[wossname]

Photomatix is actually a pretty poor quality bit of software. The interface is dire, the image file support is deplorable and the results are best described as unpredictable. In my experience. I wish I hadn't wasted my £30 on it.

What do you think is better? I agree with the unpredictable results.

[wossname]

Photomatix is the only HDR app I've tried. The other's I've seen are either too expensive in themselves, look worse than photomatix or are a plugin for Photoshop, which I can't afford.

[ben8you]

ive only tried the built-in photoshop one - very poor
anyone tested any free ones? (or even better) considered making one
