IMHO - Better than real life

dnaxe · 26th June 2008

I don't even understand why the picture above looks so good. It definitely looks better than the actual thing.

Also, is that like banding on the lower left?

hjbyeo · 26th June 2008

Is this a poster or it's really a lego toy? Feels like got 3D effect even wo post processing?

creampuff · 26th June 2008

Yeah it could be banding but the greenish patch could also indicate filter ghosting.
Funny thing is why only at that spot?
What ISO did you shoot at because your picture's exif has been removed?
My guess is DA35mm macro used here.

istDeS · 26th June 2008

Just my guess. Is this a poster kinda display shoot thru glass panel? The banding is slanting, could be the pattern from cardboard used for the display? The greenish patch could be ghosting from glass panel in front? The white patch at the chin and left face are they reflections?

Looks like a poster and thru glass. mm . . . Seems like flash was also used

Looks like the common banding in K10D (Think K20D also might have). Likely due to undereposed area. But if you find you are getting them often and at low ISO, better send in fast.

dun understnad the pic looks so good, better than the actual thing ?

cos u r a good ptg ??

dnaxe · 26th June 2008

nothing to do with me as a photog! Well. If you think the composition is good, that's me

But the colour and the 3d effect, nothing to do with me! It's a poster... well. It's a "partial" 3D poster, in that the figure is lifted away from the background. but the figure itself is flat.

I haven't noticed the banding in other shots at all. Might be a filter effect I guess?

It was taken with a 16-50 + k20d with these settings:
ISO: 800
Exposure: 1/60 sec
Aperture: f/3.5
Focal Length: 50mm
Flash Used: No

16-50 had a B+W MRC...

Edit: Was not taken through glass...

er...if its not u..than i noe i noe...

its ur fabulous camera and wonderful lens...

dun be so modest la...good pics is 99% man and 1% equipment...

hjbyeo · 26th June 2008

At least the 1% equipment, 0.5% contributed by me hor!! Dnaxe, right?!

airconvent · 26th June 2008

yeah...have to agree with istDes. looks pretty likely it's the usual perforated pattern on the cardboard. The earlier K10D CCD banding problem does not look like this, I think..

It is perforated pattern on the cardboard and stray light.

dnaxe · 26th June 2008

yeah probably.

airconvent · 29th June 2008

Hi dnaxe
I have confirmed 100% its due to the perforation on the cardboard. Was there where the board is, probably another branch though....

Took a good look. I tried to capture the perforations but just can't seem to see it on the image...

flowerpot · 29th June 2008

amazing discovery...
