The Vulcan Posted February 8, 2010 Share Posted February 8, 2010 (edited) Lets start a "daily Image " thread - we don' t need the "mods" to sort them - just our stuff Rules Must be shot within the last 24 hours and why do you like it. That's it! No prizes - just images you like My opener was shot yesterday I like it because of the saturation and contrast - other than that it's utterly boring! Tech details - canon 5D MKII - Sigma 12-24 @ 24mm blah de blah What ya got? p.s no coconuts or temples please!

The Vulcan Posted February 11, 2010 Author Share Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) Panasonic GF1 - 45mm Contax G - 1/30th @ F2 - 400 ISO Fabio, a great Jazz/Blues guitarist Seen tonight in Hua Hin I like it because that's pretty much how I envisage a Blues artist at work Edited February 11, 2010 by The Vulcan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordlys Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 (edited) Excellent photo. Perfect lighting, exposure, and good balance of detail and contrast. I'm always amazed how Vulcan can bring out a lot of detail from high contrast shots. Bummer the stand in the foreground and shouldn't the roof on the top be cropped?

Stuck with the stand as well as the Welsh flag which didn't quite fit the scene! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eurasianthai Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 (edited) I just love the view from my office in Bangkok. Taken this morning, on the right side of the office. I'll show you the left side, taken this morning also, within 24 hours... And well, for the Bangkok people, where is it?

The Vulcan Posted February 12, 2010 Author Share Posted February 12, 2010 5D MKII - 70-200 F4 L IS @200 - 1/400th @ F4 - 3200 ISO 1% spot reading from Minolta light meter I like the lighting on this shot - seems to endorse the power and dominance aura Local theatre performance shot today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurasianthai Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Pretty nice indeed Forgot to say that the one I posted was taken with the Canon 450D and the Canon lens 24-105mm at 24mm and f16. And a bit of sharpening... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nordlys Posted February 12, 2010 Share Posted February 12, 2010 Fuji S100fs two shot hdr hand-held this morning at dawn Interesting color and good detail. 1% spot reading from Minolta light meter I like the lighting on this shot - seems to endorse the power and dominance aura Local theatre performance shot today Exposure-wise it's so perfect it looks as if the shot was made in studio. Where in the subject did you spot the metering? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where in the subject did you spot the metering? Metered off the highlights - obviously I didn't meter from this image (moving too much) but from a reading of the spotlight falling on the stage. I just then applied this exposure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurasianthai Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Was taken about 24 hours ago, a pity Bangkok is a bit foggy these days, I would have liked to get a clearer photo of the Kasikorn bank building Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totster Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 Hi, Would like to share this, was taken Thursday night.. but was unable to post it yesterday.. I hope you can allow it Sat by the lake in Kalasin, shot with a Sony CyberShot, no flash, 2 sec exposure, I also made it lighter by using bias (?) after the first attempt was too dark.. Anyway, hope you like it Totster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harrry Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 (edited) With two future programmers and a future teacher on the move the future for Thailand is great.

The Vulcan Posted February 13, 2010 Author Share Posted February 13, 2010 One more from last nights theatre shoot Canon 5D MK11 - 3200 ISO - 70-200 F4 L IS - 1/400th @ F4 The lady turned the tables from the first shot! (maybe) I love this dominant, powerful pose she's adopted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurasianthai Posted February 13, 2010 Share Posted February 13, 2010 I indeed like this one better than the first one but both are fantastic pictures. Your use the 70-200mm, how far were you from them? (by the way,why did you get the 70-200mm f4 instead of the f2.8?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(by the way,why did you get the 70-200mm f4 instead of the f2.8?) 30/40 metres I guess I had the 2.8 (non IS version) and traded it for the F4 IS - it's lighter and sharper.

aidenai Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 Great images, The Vulcan........ Here's one of my first HDR images. Shot yesterday. Nikon D90, 105mm, ISO 200, F5.6, EV 0/+2/-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurasianthai Posted February 14, 2010 Share Posted February 14, 2010 I need to try this HDR thing one day, althought +2/-2 is maybe not sufficient to really get HDR photos. The best I can do on the Canon 450D. And my daily image is about the people I love most, it is Valentine day. Taken 3 years ago but cropped today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eurasianthai Posted February 15, 2010 Share Posted February 15, 2010 (edited) Nice one Fabian. Had a dinner today on Soi 5 Sukhumvit in Bangkok, where quite a few interesting photos can be taken. And I took a few. But none is worth displaying... Edited February 15, 2010 by eurasianthai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vulcan Posted February 16, 2010 Author Share Posted February 16, 2010 Shot last night with a GF1 and Contax 90mm f2.8 G lens attached (effectively 180mm) It's a bitch to focus manually with this setup and my keeper rate is abysmal at present (it'll improve with practice I hope) But I love the tone, contrast and overall IQ of these Zeiss lenses 400 ISO - 1/30th wide open Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jukapot Posted February 16, 2010 Share Posted February 16, 2010 We seldom get any snow here in South East North Carolina, Yesterday we got 3-5 inches beautiful snow. Beautiful because no shoveling is required - it melts within 24 hrs.... Here are a couple of pictures in case anyone in sunny Thailand forgot what it looks like. PS I'm really jealous of all of you and your nice weather. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurasianthai Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 (edited) Thailand is the only country in the world (that I know of, besides London ) where some taxis are pink. And well, pink seems to be a colour loved up to the highest level of society. Taken today on my way back home. It is special since it is the end of a difficult day at work.

Kan Win Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 I just took this one in my garden in Bangkok a few minutes ago. I love flowers and have a lot of nice ones, but have difficulty getting a nice picture of them, the surroundings are just adding too much noise to the photo. And the surroundings are not that nice.This time I just removed the light from the surroundings, so that I see only the flowers. From another thread Can you imagine the effort of emailing them all, the cost of providing prints etc ( and in 24 hours)- wow. Indeed, the cost of storing your photos on a server anywhere is so low these days that it makes sense to do it if you want to share your photos with others. For my family in Europe, I have plenty of pictures on flickr that are not public, you can't see them, but that they can see them and download them. Shame that some of your photos that you posted on this forum are also 'Unseen'. Sawadee : Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

astral Posted February 17, 2010 Share Posted February 17, 2010 If you upload the photo to Thaivisa there is less danger of it being "unseen". You "smoking and bullet holes" was visible when you first posted it. What happened at Flickr? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
