thanx for the encouragement!Virgo said:Nice portrait shots you've got here. Mood is there. However, some candid shots have quite a lot of distractions there. For e.g., the one with the kids using mobile phone shouldn't include the camera man.
You the main or backup camera man?
thanx for viewing. hope u enjoyed the pics.Picard said:Love the colours and detail...I thinkt the one with the kids, cell phone and the photographer is ... ok...there's contrast there.
I particularly like the last shot with the waiters etc...may I ask how was that shot achieved?
Curious and willing to learn.
Thanks

ah ha! botanic gardens at eco lake area.Virgo said:To add to this, you can also do it easily in PS, under filter -> blur -> radial blur. Experiment!

the waiters shot was simply done using a slow shutter speed. i believe it set it at 1/15s. u gotta practice handholding at slow speeds 2 get it relatively sharp. hence any movement will naturally result in trails. those non-moving objects will remain sharp.
i oso pre-focused on the area slightly in front of where the 3rd waitress (only 1 whose face is focused) is. i was shooting w/o flash but in continuous burst mode. this shot is 1 of a series of 6 images captured continuously.
last but not least. a zoom radial blur filter was added in photoshop for the final effect. of cos u can achieve dat by zooming yr lens while doing a long exposure. but i wasn't about ready 2 miss the moment by trying dat!!! :bsmilie:
hope this helps...
Stoned said:Just another question from a newbie. If you zoom your lens while you're doing a long exposure, will the changing size of the subject cause the subject to blur?
Stoned said:Also, how do u avoid hand shake while zooming the lens?

Just one question, how come the ones in white wedding gown, her face is slimmer....then the ones in kua, her face is rounder and fatter?
thanx! it was a spur of the moment thing. never tried it b4. was trying 2 get the wedding couple's silhouette in the doorway. i noticed a light source on the onlookers on the left. used dat 2 dimly illuminate them. overall turned out ok. at least i think so. ;pclive said:the candle + silhouette one :thumbsup:
as wat clive mentioned, since u're zooming, u'll b blurring the image already. so slight handshake wouldn't do much 2 alter the image.Stoned said:Just another question from a newbie.

Just want to find out more about this technique
i believe its all a matter of angle n perception. wearing different colors of clothings can alter 1's appearance.2100 said:Pretty nice, most of them are keepers. The one with the L lens + kid doesn't tell anything though.

u read my intentions pretty well. which is why i chose not 2 include the whole photog int he frame. juz his cam.clive said:the one with L & the 2 girls shows that u must use kwanon L then can have nice nice pics as in the pic itself ! :bsmilie:
hehe..on a more serious note, the L guy on the left is probably servign the role of a "framing element" to help frame the 2 girls sicne they r the subject of that shot
