Who battery plants I have heard about these rare plants. I cant beleive that you were lucky enough to get your hands on these rare beauties

tsa · 04-05-2009, 12:48 PM

Yeah, I bought them from a bloke I met in the pub. Oddly, he seemed glad to be rid of them.

I'll have to post a few colored window tests I took... They work pretty nicely as a series.
~~Here's an early example.~~

(Edit): I removed the picture, see the first in the next post.

Nice pic UPtimist

tsa · 04-07-2009, 09:25 PM

That looks cool! Not to spoil your fun, but can't you get the same effect by turning the red and the green channel way down in Photoshop or the Gimp or whatever your favorite program is?

UPtimist · 04-08-2009, 07:26 AM

Yeah, most likely, but where's the fun in that? (and that's just the first pic, they're not all like that)

And besides, I like to be "natural"

Well, here's the rest of the "day" set, as I call it (before these, I took a set at night too, which I'll have to post later ~~when I have access to my laptop again~~(Edit: No wait, they're right here. It's just a matter of uploading)). As I said, they're just test: I thought it might be fun, grabbed a camera and started taking pictures. This also unfortunately resulted in one pic being somewhat ruined with a flash, but it's no biggie. As I said, they work better in a series so I'll post all of them, if you don't mind. If it's a bit too much I'll just post a link to the gallery.

(Edit): Ahem... There's even a couple more in the night set... Anybody mind a whole bunch of pictures?

tsa · 04-09-2009, 11:19 PM

Maybe you can post a link to the series? Of the above, I like the blue one at the top the most

.

UPtimist · 04-10-2009, 10:04 AM

Well, here's just the album as a slide show. Includes all of the recent ones I've posted, and of course the pics in question. Somehow the slide show makes them look worse though, in my opinion

I like this picture I took in Oldenzaal. It's the railway station's clock tower, taken from below:

That is one really awesome picture, the flag capture is also great

I wish I had a camera with me as I was in Ghent last week, such a beautiful medieval city with great canals but I guess I will go back in the future..

Yesterday I hung a dandelion's seed on a spider's thread. I used my phone as a background and edited out the spider's thread later with Gimp. This is the result:

I think I can do better. I will try again later with a different background. And I have to make sure the sun doesn't reflect on the thread so I don't have to edit my photo. I don't like editing. It makes the pictures not real anymore.

MikeLXXXVIII · 04-22-2009, 03:16 AM

Thats pretty brilliant and creative!
Well I guess it kinda looks a tiny blurred out, but I think it is pretty good

!
I think the grey background fits well! at least if you want some other background I guess it shouldn't be too "offensive" colours..

tsa · 04-22-2009, 03:27 AM

I want a more natural background. And the picture is a bit blurred because of the movements of the seed in the wind. I had the camera on a tripod.

I think I will try to make the picture in the house next time to get rid of the wind. I'll post the result here.

Took a trip yesterday to the north of Oslo, to venture into the mountains/forest. Felt good but not happy with the photo results (a lot of blur and too much unatural lighting from the camera even when trying out different functions). Wasn't the ideal weather and tall trees make it hard to capture the wide view from high above. But will go back during the summer when everythings mature and easier to venture through deep inside.

Some pictures summing certain parts the area i was around..

Very nice pixies Mike! I also shot a few just a while ago.
I have a shrub that blooms beautifully for a week or two every year:

I also shot a very tiny beetle inside a white flower on one of my small ground-hugging plants:

Edit: I also shot a whole lot of pics of Annabel, see here.
