eurasianthai Posted March 2, 2010 Share Posted March 2, 2010 (edited) Nice one, Vulcan So no coconut tree for the daily image, said Vulcan. And on another thread, I said, why would anybody be interested in a picture of a dog, there are millions, if not billions on the internet? I'm sure I'm right but anyway, there must be a reason why there are millions. And I like this one since this is our Thai soi dog, rescued from the street (soi) when he was still a puppy (same as for my 2nd dog actually).

eurasianthai Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 Just for fun, when coming out of the office today. At 1/15s and ISO640 with the lens at 35mm. Makes you wonder why tall Thai girls walk more slowly than the ones average size... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes me wonder why you took this photo at that speed and how using ISO 640 I use AP setting with iso set at 400 and let me Oly E-3 find the shutter speed Sawadee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vulcan Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 (edited) You've missed the point there Kan. The TV setting was appropriate for the blurring/motion effect which has worked well. The OP was attempting, and did so effectively, a sense of movement. AV settings would have been useless in this concept. Back to basics methinks!

eurasianthai Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 The TV setting was appropriate for the blurring/motion effect which has worked well. And on this subject, I have to say it is really fun to use the 7D. It is extremely easy to change the settings once you start knowing the camera and its many buttons. Takes only a few seconds. And I really love the viewfinder, I'm sure, as Nordlys said, that the the one of the 5D is as good, if not better, but for me, coming from the 450D, this is just a world of difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Vulcan Posted March 3, 2010 Author Share Posted March 3, 2010 (edited) Well, edited the post since the Vulcan summarized it more nicely than me at the time I was posting my comment I think you should re-introduce your earlier post. Your explanation of using the ISO to acquire the correct EV was most pertinent to the image and indeed was an area I had not considered. Very relevant I think Just embellishing this. The adjustment of ISO to achieve the required EV is not an action I've considered before. Interesting and thanks.

eurasianthai Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 (edited) OK, in this particular shot, I first chose the speed, a few speeds actually, the one I posted is at 1/15 but I took a few more at higher and lower speeds... The point, as you rightly mentioned, was to get the people going out of office blurred. I actually wanted them to be very blurred, just to show how eager people are to leave the office. And put the ISO at 640, so that I could choose a shutter speed that was in accordance with the photo I wanted to take. Anyway, how lucky am I to spend so much time in traffic jams?

Nordlys Posted March 3, 2010 Share Posted March 3, 2010 I still don't get it.... Wouldn't it better that you set the ISO lower if you want to achieve slower shutter speed or am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eurasianthai Posted March 4, 2010 Share Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) You are very right, Nordlys, lower ISO gives you a lower shutter speed. And in order to be at 1/15 s, I needed to go "down" to ISO 640. The thing you missed is that when I go out of the office, the sun is almost gone and the picture is taken through the tainted windows of the car, hence the relatively high ISO for that shutter speed. (And I wanted to keep a f 5.6 or higher in order to make sure the background would not be blurred). Actually I could also have fixed the speed and the aperture and put the ISO on auto, which I'll try next time Edited March 4, 2010 by eurasianthai Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eurasianthai Posted March 6, 2010 Share Posted March 6, 2010 Took this one this morning with my Nokia phone. Just wanted to show to Nordlys that the Canon lens 24-105mm is more balanced on the Canon 7D than on the Canon 450D. And conversely that the Canon kit lens 17-55mm was well balanced on the Canon 450D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And conversely that the Canon kit lens 17-55mm was well balanced on the Canon 450D. You didn't have to do it as I never doubted that. After all those cheapo kit lenses were designed for entry level dSLR like 450D and 24-105mm was designed essentially as a de facto kit lens for 5D. It sure is well balanced in terms of weight and size with 7D as I understand it's about the same weight and size as 5D Mk2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this picture was taken with a phone, not a camera, the Nokia N97, looks quite nice actually, who needs a camera after all?

eurasianthai Posted March 13, 2010 Share Posted March 13, 2010 I was in Japan this week, so I'll show you how inventive Japanese people can be in order to save space. The parking tower, where the cars are stored on top of each other. Invented by the Japanese 50 years ago but getting more and more popular. This one is the parking in a hotel in Nagasaki.

69690jay Posted March 17, 2010 Share Posted March 17, 2010 Hat Yai, three monks one from cambodia two from burma, the one on the far right was very much enjoying himself, he could not sit still continuosly joking around. I tried hard to cach an image with some force to it but limited by camera: ("Olympus Tough" pocket camera) and not wanting to tell the subjects how to perform i shot a few off, have a few more may post later.

Chinavet Posted March 18, 2010 Share Posted March 18, 2010 Nearly nailed it. I have hundreds of sharp pics of these Brahminy kites with a sky background. With aperture at f/7.1 to keep shutter speed up, I was not ready for the change in background or tracking the bird's dive and could not keep the AF on target. Hand held at 400mm.
