Re: The Photography Thread

That feeling you can only get when you are there! It is not something that can be described, I am pretty sure you know what I mean IF you have been there. And thanks for liking.

It is on one of my scandisk memorycards, I will try to put it up for you. Shukriya.

Today’s Pic:

Bronze Female Fu Dog - Forbidden City

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2122/2217698702_0f996a08e8_b.jpg

*Taken with 40D at the Forbidden City Beijing.

This bronze lionesse ( or “Fu Dog” ) guards the entrance to the throne room of the Forbidden City in Beijing. Fu Dogs always come in pairs. They are mythical creatures with horns on the head of a lion, scales upon the body of a deer, and a tail consisting of little curls.

This is the female lionesse, who holds a cub in her paw (symbolizing longevity). Opposite her stands (out of the shot) the male lion, who holds the world in his paw (symbolizing power).*

Re: The Photography Thread

*^ I meant "Today's pic" as posting the pic today on forums, not as if its taken today, heh. This pic was taken some time back in beijing.

what model do you have? it depends on the focal length of ur cam, and how much MP is it? Simple digi cam say zoom will always come blurred, unless agar focal length thodi theek hoyi. Lekin you might get a better shot if you use white background, like put the object on plain white paper and take the shot, because white say object ki clearity mai faraq parta hai, and it will enchace the colours, thus the main object will be clear.

post processing

I did some fast smudging/pushing and dodging and got rid of the shadow easily, the more time u put the better and neater it will get:

Do better adjustment when taking the pic. You are using a background surface which is shiny , that is not good. Try white paper and since u have no ISO control then go with dim light, that does not leave any reflection, or some normal desk colour. Always take multiple shots, and then pick the best one out of them, and always try different angles when taking a macro or a close-up shot, if you had tried other angles you might not have ended up with that shiny part on the watch, and dont try 90 degrees angle on objects that have glass, try tilted angle. Like I did in one of my photos:

Good luck.

Re: The Photography Thread

yeah i think ill try angles this time.. the guy who i m doing this for.. also sugessted using a canopy to avoid the shadows showing in the metal..

Re: The Photography Thread

Hinnie, try selecting the shadow with the magic wand tool...a little at a time, then finish with smudging etc...
