Well, had my new camera a few days now so started playing with it hehe... Just been playing with photoshopping panormaic images, not sure why, but is quite cool in my opinion Thumbs Up

Anyone else do stuff like this??

Next thing I want to try is multi action shots, i.e a bike coming round a corner on a race track, showing the bike in one picture at a few different points, if you understand?

What do you think?

Best viewed with resolution of 1280x1024 as the image is 1100 or so pixels wide. Let me know what ya reckon Cool The pics were taken without a tripod or anything so they don't completely line up, but looks cool I reckon?

Yams, Ive got a CSS/HTML script for making a panoramic view, if you want to see it visit www.loply.com/panoramic.php the image will take ages to load though (slow server).

Feel free to use the script.

That snow garden picture is cool!

Can barely see the divides!!

What you reckon to the quality of me camera?

The pic attached above is heavily re-sized down, it's amazing I just looked at it now at full res and I can see clearly the ferries that are about 10 miles from here Neutral Can see them clearly and even can see the Millenium tower down in southsea!!!

It's great Very Happy

Here's a slightly bigger picture, it's still onyl 50% of the size of the original Shocked but has a bit more detail, you can see the divides quite easily though, not bad for a first attempt though Cool

Nice view over Portsmouth Mr. Green

The divides are tricky because the pictures arent actually the same - if you get two pictures which share teh corner of a room for example, the curved lens means the corner is like a ) shape on one pic and a ( shape on another, but you just have to carefully blend them together.

I tend to make my pics overlap by 1/3rd, i havent played with it that much though.

Amazing how much distant detail you can see in that pic. Have you got the camera on some kind of auto mode btw? Like auto-white or something? Looks like the brightness is different on different pics thats all.

Yeah the distance details are great aren't they Very Happy I'm impressed with that, glad I got this camera now.

It's on some sort of auto settings yeah, the pics got lighter as I moved around to the right, because the BRIGHT sun was literally behind that tree on the right hand side, so the pic got alot brigher... I managed to blend the colours of the first 3 pics but that fourth wasn't having it!

I can see I have a lot to learn.

I did this one free hand, no tripod, although I am not sure a tripod would help to be honest....

You can clearly see some of the joins, although I was proud of the one over the bbq, I can not see that myself and I know where that is.

Cool

Panoramic are fun.

Has anyone tried long exposure? I went on to a motorway bridge over the A329M in pitch black and took these with a long exposure.

I would like to get some water fall pics to see how that looks.

Wooooowww cool!

I've never really been into photography, but starting to play a bit now I got this..

I'm still learning what it can do, apparantly it can do a 16 frame multishot Shocked which prints all into one image.

Apparantly it can also do multishot and automatically save as a gif animation! so that'll be cool

Good thing with this camera is you can change all the exposure and shutter speeds etc etc that I'm still learning. But it's cool Cool

It is fun.

I have not got a clue when it comes to photography. I just clicked on a few sites and thought, I will try that! Some of the pics were....hang one, most of my pics were crap, but I do like the night shots lots....

This is what it looked like in normal exposure

https://www.mad-als.com/photos/exp4.jpg

This was an amusing one, cr4p photo, but I managed to catch a plane, if you look at the line you can see where the light flashes...

https://www.mad-als.com/photos/exp5.jpg

This one was a very long exposure, that garden was practically pitch black!

Photography i think is really interesting and i wish i had done a degree or whatever on it now rather than networking.

Here's a few pics i had taken with my S5000 not so long ago. I only had it a few months and it was the first semi-good camera i had.

That isn't what I was thinking of, but that looks sweeeeeeeeet... Would be cool to get bike shots and photoshop them up to look like that, kind of arty, but cool at the same time.

Damn I'm getting into this a bit too much lol trying to play with the panormic again just trying my bedroom but the lighting seems to be different for every picture and I can't get stuff to line up properly... getting there though.

I'm afraid I cheated a bit, well, a lot Laughing

Download this and it does it all for you, all you have to do is pick out identical points in the images and the rest is magic.

I tried to get atmospheric "ghost" pics at a Ceilidh.

If you do a set of pictures which provides a full 360degree panorama then you can turn them into a Quicktime VR (virtual reality) image which enables you to look around the scene as if you were standing in the middle of it.

It's quite a while since I tried this so I'll have to hunt down the software for it.

HTML/CSS solution (avoids users needing quicktime):

Code:


<div id="scroll" style="width: 500px; height: 500px; position: absolute; left: 20px; top: 10px; background: url("/PANORAMIC.jpg") no-repeat"></div>
<script language="JavaScript">
 var x = 0;
 var y = 0;
 function scrollX(amount)
 { 
  x = x+amount;
  document.getElementById("scroll").style.backgroundPosition = eval(x+amount) + " " + y;
 } 
 function scrollY(amount)
 { 
  y = y+amount;
  document.getElementById("scroll").style.backgroundPosition = x + " " + eval(y+amount);
 }
</script>
<a onClick="scrollX(75)" style="position: absolute; top: 245px; left: 8px;"><img src="/leftarrow.GIF"></a>
<a onClick="scrollX(-150)" style="position: absolute; top: 245px; left: 520px;"><img src="/rightarrow.GIF"></a>
<a onClick="scrollY(20)" style="position: absolute; top: 0px; left: 245px;"><img src="/uparrow.GIF"></a> <br>
<a onClick="scrollY(-40)" style="position: absolute; top: 510px; left: 245px;"><img src="/downarrow.GIF"></a>

Hows that done then, special camera?

Major_Grooves how do you get that effect.....??? That is excellent, get a nice night photo in a grave yard with that effect and you could create such a great hoax!

I know this is a bike forum and we are talking photos, but the photos that are being posted are superb!

I am using a Canon S50, it was classed as intermediate. Time to book on a course to get the most out of my camera I think.
