Good that you did not overdue the colours here.

I like photojournalism a lot and I think this represent much of China's economy.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks a lot! It wasn't made with any political thoughts though. It's one of my uncles factories actually

Proficiat met de DD!
Ik vind jammer genoeg de HDR een beetje te veel vlekken maken, ik heb het liever subtiel

Chopen In reply to ReachingFlames [2010-04-16 22:09:15 +0000 UTC]

Dank je en ben het met je eens hoor. Het was een van mijn eerste HDRs en bovendien genomen met een oude compact camera van 6 megapixels!

ReachingFlames In reply to Chopen [2010-04-16 22:20:25 +0000 UTC]

Oh maar megapixels zeggen niets hoor! Ik werk al 4 jaar met een 4.2 megapixel. Een ouder model qua spiegelreflex. Maar mits ik begin met uitvergrotingen ben ik gedoemd om over te stappen naar een nieuwe model. Een groot verschil want dat zal dan 12.3 megapixel zijn

Ahja, welk model heb je nu in gedachten?

ReachingFlames In reply to Chopen [2010-04-19 20:18:17 +0000 UTC]

D5000, omdat dat betaalbaar is voor mij. Wat echt in mijn gedachten zit is de D300 of dergelijk...

Chopen In reply to ReachingFlames [2010-04-19 20:21:47 +0000 UTC]

Ahja, die verkopen wij ook. Prima camera en inderdaad erg goed betaalbaar!
Ik wil zelf binnen een paar maanden overstappen naar de 7D

ReachingFlames In reply to Chopen [2010-04-19 21:16:36 +0000 UTC]

Ja dat lijkt me een van de betere voor die prijs!

van Canon ken ik helemaal niets, buiten de 5D mark II e.d. natuurlijk.. Daar heb ik al mooie dingen van gezien

Chopen In reply to ReachingFlames [2010-04-19 21:22:03 +0000 UTC]

Ahja, de enige reden dat ik voor de 7D ga in plaats van de 5DmkII is omdat ik simpelweg het geld niet heb om een nieuwe collectie aan lenzen te sparen. Al die full frame lenzen zijn zooooo duur!

Thank you very much for your kind compliments. I really appreciate it
This is a very old shot and taken with a very simple point and shoot camera. Ever since I shoot with a SLR camera I couldn't get the same effects with HDR. Though I like my current style a lot more.

Still, this shot means a lot to me

Haha thanks a lot!
This one was taken with the Konica Minolta DiMAGE G600.
Artificially changed the exposure levels and created a few different HDR results.
Then I blended them together in Photoshop

but thats rare ^^

Chopen In reply to juggleart [2010-02-24 23:11:44 +0000 UTC]

Oh that's true. I never make HDR shots for portraits and animals. In those situations it'd be 80% photo 20% post process

juggleart In reply to Chopen [2010-02-24 23:14:08 +0000 UTC]

well i don't do portraits cos i suck too much ^^
but i don't even have a HDR program.. or i have photomatix, but only trial version, so if i do any HDR i have to remove the stupid watermark the program puts on it, cos i haven't paid for it >_<

Chopen In reply to juggleart [2010-02-24 23:20:58 +0000 UTC]

I only do it on request. Usually family members or friends...not really my kind of photography. Try this on Photomatix...I don't know what version you use though

Heliocyan [2010-02-17 18:57:32 +0000 UTC]

Wow, this is stunning!!! The HDR gives it a very magical light..... I first didn't realise that it is a factory, those cabinets look like the ones we have in hospitals for too early born babies.... Lucky you got in the factory, I don't think this would be possible for someone without connection.

Do you have the original version uploaded somewhere as well? It would be interesting to see the difference
