Assignment 24: Light - Congrats Adrian Mandea!

[Sheiky]

This assignment is what photography is all about: Light. In this assignment lighting or lights are the stars and that's what we like to see.





Update: Great input everyone! Brian (bgood) has selected his five finalists for this topic. The finalists are:
<h2>Update 2: Congratulation Adrian Mandea!! Great shot!
</h2>


Adrian Mandea


/resized-image.ashx/__size/550x0/__key/CommunityServer-Discussions-Components-Files/26/2746.IMG_5F00_5889.jpg


Motivation: The color of the light in this one turns an everyday photo into one that is full of emotion and depth.





Rocco


/resized-image.ashx/__size/1000x0/__key/CommunityServer-Discussions-Components-Files/26/3757.IMG_5F00_9856.jpg


Motivation: This is a marvelous capture of the colors of light that the storm produced as well as the starlit sky above. Right place, right time, right photo.

Motivation: The color of the sunset is the star, but the geese provide the context to push it above any of the other sunsets

/resized-image.ashx/__size/800x0/__key/CommunityServer-Discussions-Components-Files/26/3302.Walk-IMG_5F00_2645.JPG


Motivation: The light in this one completely creates the emotion for me. It's an interesting picture without the spotlight, but with it I feel like I am stepping into search scene in a cops and robbers movie.





Erno James


/resized-image.ashx/__size/640x427/__key/CommunityServer-Discussions-Components-Files/26/6305.lbrd.jpg


Motivation: I love how the tail lights add energy and movement to the shot. While not the subject of this contest, it is a great example of leading lines that take my eye into the photo and keep it there.





Again congratulations to all finalists! The poll will be open for 3 days!

One I just did and it literally took everything I had to climb up the rocks with my gear in the humidity. This hiking trip was all about capturing the light at sunset even though I was disappointed with the sky this evening. Park rules are that the state park closes 1 hour after sunset or your vehicle gets locked in for the evening. Something I will most likely never try again.

Dude! How did you go about doing the VR thing. A new post would be greatly appreciative.

[Steve U]

Hey Bryan that is way cool. For someone that couldn't find the latest post button[:$][:)], that is one of the best posts I have seen on this site.


I too would like a separate "method" post. Thanks for posting.[Y]

[freelanceshots]

My equipment includes the 5D2 which is really needed, 15mm fisheye lens, a good tripod, a very expensive 360Precision Absolute head from the UK, PtGui Pro software, Pano2VR software and then about 3 months of trial and error. To tell you all the steps involved in the process would take me typing pages of info and for me that would take a couple of days. This VR and the flat image was a combination of 19 raw images (six images around x 3 diff exposures sets plus one down and three up if one chooses). All images are shot in a specific sequence where I had to redraw the center of the up view and the down view. PtGui blends them all together through its exposure fusion process with your set parameters but it could not recognize the up view because it could not find any control points in a blank sky. I had to fill in the blank hole at the top with is easier said then done to match the surrounding sky but I choose to identify myself there instead. At the bottom where the tripod is you have to redraw or take a handheld down shot at a shutter speed that you can hold and then manipulate/match/blend the final image together in photoshop and then import to VR using Pano2VR. It takes a lot of work, probably more work then most would be willing to do. I was kind of forced to buy all this equipment so that I could partake in a nice contract job that required us to have this specific stuff. There are others ways of getting similar results but this is by far one of the best setups.

[freelanceshots]

I stepped out just now and the entire western sky is lit up red and pink with the clouds in a beautiful pattern across the sky. I'm blown always when this happens where my plans are to capture this someday. Right place at the right time. Man its hard to catch breaks.


Anyways forgot to say thanks for the nice comments!

[Dr Croubie]

Gah. Perfect topic for me. Not.


Not that I don

[Dr Croubie]

More lights. More night shots. Friends' bands with cool spotlighting effects. Even the roof of Hong Kong Airport gives good lighting effects from the right angle (and with the right amount of jetlag and sleep-deprivation).


If I don't upload something i'll go insane from searching.


My initial first thought when I saw the topic was the photo I took of xmas lights in Den Haag last year, if you look at the photos of my new computer I posted it's actually the desktop background in the shot. But then I saw this one nearby, and thought 'what the hell', let's bring something completely surreal and abstract to this assignment.

So I give you my dancing tree-lights, 7D, Lensbaby Muse with Double-Glass Optic.

Beautiful shot, Bob!


Yesterday, I dragged my daughter out of bed at 5 a.m. (she normally sleeps until noon) to go down by the lake with her favorite dog so I could get a silhouette of them walking on the beach to submit for this assignment. We got all the way down there but the sunrise was a no show due to the thick clouds :( Sure glad she loves me as much as she does!!

[freelanceshots]

Was playing around after dreaming this scenario the night before. Wanted to find a high spot between intersecting highways and bridges but Little Rock is so boring and this was the best I could come up with. This friday or sat I should be able to capture the better image downtown. In this scene the light was changing so fast that by the time I swung around a full revolution with my long exposure the beginning and end point light was drastically different. Even after doing this process close to 800 times I still have room to learn. The main goal was to catch light trails from the traffic but I think my 30 sec exposure was to long.

Alright more about the light, still can't seem to get enough cars to go down all the roads to get the flow of their lights. Super busy at 6 and 7pm buts thats not the right time for this shot/shots. Six shots this time. I'm done posting after this one.

I was standing and balancing on this guard rail at the bottom which was way up in the air where my tripod was positioned on a 2' x 1.5' concrete block. I almost fell a few times plus it was not where people usually go where I got many surprised looks from drivers plus two police cars. I figured I'd get asked to come down from the highway and explain myself but they let me be.

Thanks guys. The subdued bldgs were like that because we shot this near midnight. I think some homes are not as well lit than others. Rocco, go buy that lens. I hesitated on it for months, thinking I would just rent it to see if i liked it. As I have taken a liking to landscapes, it

You're right, this is a tough assignment, but a good one.


This image taught me the virtues of using raw file format. It was almost completely blown out. What was once an unrecognizable image is now, well, let just say an interesting effect.

Some great contributions this time.


I thought if it is about light, then I should probably try and see the light, so I went to St John's Cathedral. Construction started back in 1906 and has been ongoing to this day. There is a lot of stained glass, dark corners and golden light to explore. Here is a shot from the inside, showing me the way out.

[Jonathan Huyer]

On my ship-based tour of the Scottish Hebrides this past spring, we cruised around the remote island of St. Kilda by zodiac. We came across this cave, and were astonished at the amazing light coming in from all angles. I used a Canon 5D2, with 24-70 f/2.8 lens, 1/80 sec @ f/4, ISO 3200. No artificial light was used in the shot.

Cool shots Rich. I like that last one. The way it blew out the sun.. made it look HUGE. Very nice.






Thanks Rocco! The competition seems very high on this assignment!


The larger than normal size of the Sun and Moon shot at the horizon is considered an optical illusion. The reason for this illusion is till debated as you can read about it in the link.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_illusion ("http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_illusion)


If anyone takes a shot like this with a "Super-telephoto" lens, then please be very careful not to point the lens in the direction of the Sun for more than a second or two as you can risk damaging your camera sensor.





Rich

[conropl]

Probably taking the assignment a little to literally. So here is a light.


On the more subtle side this was a long exposure (25 seconds) after the sun set which makes the Lake Michigan waves look foggy, and then after everyone went home, the person that closes the park showed up and went inside. He turned the lights on and left the door open... which just adds a little to the lighthouse.

Wow, so many good ones here, personally love the cave at the top of the page, i've seen caves that good (in the Czech) but never with a camera unfortunately. No way i'll get anywhere near them so may as well put in another one just for the show of it.

Easy easy :) the entry period was till sunday the 19th. I guess sunday the 19th has ended all over the world now, so I consider Dr Croubies entry as being the last one that can be judged and the entry period to be closed.


The finalists will be selected as soon as possible and hopefully we'll get to vote soon!


Good luck everybody!

I am digging Richard

[Richard Lane]

I am digging Richard's Surfer Silhouette image. Always something that draws my eyes and interest with the warm glow plus the surfer in the air and the guy walking on the beach. That photo meets the three elements rule (surfer, person walking, interesting water/waves). Richard did you have to use a warming filter, spin on or photoshop?






Thanks Bryan!


No, I didn't use any filters on the 300mm lens which only takes the Canon neutral Drop-in or CPL and I wasn't using the CPL because it was getting late in the day. I didn't use any special photoshop tricks either, because I don't know any.


All I did was a couple of slider adjustments for post-processing in Apple Aperture. I lowered the exposure by 1 stop (because I was actually shooting surfers to my left away from the Sun and then I saw some big surf breaking to my right over on the next beach, and as I turned to my right I got lucky just as this Surfer was getting some air, so I took the shot but it was overexposed). I also raised the contrast from 0 to 0.5, the black point from 3 to 5.5, defintion from 0 to 0.55, and the biggest adjustment was the highlights from 0 to 60 and that was about it. It's also cropped a bit.

I don't want to keep everybody waiting for the new assignment so if someone else can create the new topic with the title "color"....please do so.I admit I don't know how....thank you very much


I'm on it Adrian. Since every photo except for B&amp;W has "colors" in it, we need to define the next assignment just a little more. Check your conversation tab and I'll make sure the new assignment is online as soon as possible ;)

I have read your message Jan,thank you for taking the time to write me,I think what I would like to see is images where the colour can be a subject by itself,something dramatic and powerfull.what do you think? If is ok with you and you have the time please set it up and lets compete one more time.


Thank you very much and I hope to see you all posting some amazing shots like usual.

We can work with that Adrian :)


I'll make it right now!
