The matte painting (which can be translated with painting backgrounds) is a technique used mainly in film used to allow the representation of landscapes or places otherwise too costly or impossible to reconstruct or reach directly.

Kind of obvious really, since they're really just 2x2 plates, but I think they look neat. Repeating the pattern, mudguard end to end, is not as easy. If someone has a solution, I'd like to see it.

infrapinklizard has a great solution for this here.

Some wanted to see how I made the hood on my Regal T class London bus (www.flickr.com/photos/94645638@N07/16486834234/) so here it is. It's nothing special and there have been others who used this technique before.

Edit:

I think I first saw this idea used by [https://www.flickr.com/photos/35385165@N05/]'s Morgan, so credit goes to her.

Technique: Sometimes when I bait a subject they get the sweet stuff all over, and that's what's happened here. I'm holding on to the Lavender stem that the bee is perched on with my left hand, and resting the lens on that same hanf to help keep the scene steady. I also used an artificial flower to keep the background from being black.

Tech Specs: Canon 80D (F11, 1/250, ISO 200 with highlight tone priority) + a Canon MP-E 65mm macro lens (around 4x) + a diffused MT-24EX (both flash heads on the Canon flash mount, E-TTL metering with -1 2/3 FEC). This is a single, uncropped, frame taken hand held.

I am not sure why word *Lime* is in my title for this one; so I am removing it from my file name.

Built this for a Lego Ideas contest last November. Unfortunately I didn't win. Now I've made some instructions for it. Nothing fancy in terms of building techniques, but if you want to check it out, just send me a FlickrMail, and I will send them over to you, free of charge. I have an XML file with the parts list, I can send you that as well if you want to build it or something.

The model was inspired by a 1960 Peugeot 403 Cabriolet (the car that Columbo drives).

Wuyuan, JiangXi, China 江西 婺源 慶源村-- Original photo, no editing. It s a multiple exposure (2 in 1) This technique was taught by a well known HongKong photographer. It s just like the Chinese watercolor paintings.. 水彩畫 could only be done by Nikon D80 or higer level models. Not for Canon!!! ~_^

I mean technically day 7, but I was really busy yesterday and couldn't post anything.

This one I didn't come up with entirely on my own. It's based on this tree technique by Stuart Kahler, now buried in the depths of Mocpages. It was posted all the way back in 2011, but somehow never came into common practice despite being a brilliant idea. It is based on flipping stacks of grass stalks upside-down and connecting them in a cone shape to create a realistic conifer texture. The technique is excellent, but it is very uniform, so to make it more irregular/organic, instead of constructing the cone with hidden hinges I connected six stacks of grass stalks to a center piece consisting of two more grass stalks using 1x1 flower pieces. Further stacks of grass stalks can be connected to the first six in a similar fashion, theoretically allowing for endless downward expansion as long as solid support structures are present and the connections at the top hold out against gravity. I don't know how big you can go before gravity wins out because I don't have enough pieces to try it out, but I suspect that some pretty big trees can be constructed this way.

As I said, do note that I didn't come up with this all on my own. In fact, one of the comments on the original 2011 post has a suggestion for a similar modification, though I've never seen it put into practice. So consider this particular post more of a publicity boost.

I still have one more technique left! It's my favorite of the bunch so I'll try to get it up soon.

I've also used this technique in an actual build, unlike most of my other ones. You can see it in action here.

Technique Week II | Technique Week I

Something I saw at BBTB that I liked.

Third and final in a short series exploring the Pano-Sabotage technique of Bill Smith ( byzantiumbooks ) of the PANO-Vision Group.

With very quick movements of the "camera hand" Bill achieved some radical breaks in the image and managed to include himself, the photographer, in the image while panning around the scene in arcs as extreme as 180º, and sometimes even more.

Bill continues to innovate and push the extreme limits of the medium and was the winner of PANO-Vision's Anniversary "BEST OF" contest.

Here, I mirrored the Pano-Sabotaged image and further layered in another piece taken during the same Session, to the right. The main image was also added as borders to give the image "punch" and snap the viewers eye out the the edges for a complete apprehension of the image.

Luckily a friend of our family has a couple of nice cars and was eager to have them photographed by me. This is the one I chose first. Isn't that a sweet ride?

It's also the first car I did all by myself, without any assistance. As assistance of course is great, take your time, do it by yourself and you'll see that you'll learn so much from it. That's what I did and I really gained some grat new insights and technique. Great!

I have wider shot, i.e. Panorama, of it too. I'll put it up tomorrow and would love to know which one you prefer.

As usual I didn't use any flash but a light tube to illuminate the car. Have a look at this image www.flickr.com/photos/uheartme/10489754254/ to see how I do these.

Hello everybody :)

Today I want to show you a wall technique I explored while sorting my parts. It´s only made out of suitcases and some clip vertical parts. Moreover it´s also possible to make some variation by using next to the dark bluish gray suitcases some in dark gray. It´s quite a stable design and a decent alternative to the walls made out ot the "hammer" parts.

Thanks for watching :)

As requested, here is an image of the round tower technique I've been using recently.

The two bricks + two plates stack out from the tracks means the tiles interlace perfectly on the outside layer of bricks.

Recently the original version of this shot had popped up on my "memories" timeline photos and it dawned on me how horribly over-edited I had made it. So I figured I'd take some time over the last week and breathe some new life into an older photo.

It's also been a bit of a reflection year, earlier this year my mom passed away and thanks to a huge number of serious wildfires burning in Idaho around our cabin we weren't able to make it up there, which was very hard on us. It just seems like we've been saying "it's not fair" a lot this year.

So with an eye towards winter and hopefully a better 2025 I went back through the full editing process with this shot, implementing some new techniques via PixInsight and not going so crazy with the colors and contrast. This was shot with a Nikon Z7 and 85mmS lens on a Star Adventurer tracking mount. I decided to not include the reflection shots because it felt like the water motion made the reflection seem too dramatically different than the sky which detracted from the overall photo.

I was fiddling around with some LEGO panels at some point and discovered they could be meshed together as illustrated.

I built these puzzles using the technique, which can be extended to build puzzles of any size. The complexity can also be varied by changing the number of separate puzzle pieces.

Sadly, the newly redesigned panel pieces can no longer do this.

Sandwich Technique.

Setup shot for this polaroid photo. Home Depot light and aluminum foil reflector. I only shoot with the high budget stuff!

No teeth, Sarah....

Opdracht was ‘favoriete foto-techiek, of niet...’.

Ik heb niet direct een favoriete foto-techiek. Al naar gelang het onderwerp of idee maak ik gebruik van één of meerdere technieken. Nu heb ik gebruik gemaakt van bokeh in combinatie met het afvragen bij welke scherptediepte dit nu werkt. Het antwoord kun je zien: vier maal hetzelfde motief. Ik heb een statief gebruikt, de camera op diafragma ingesteld zodat ik me niet om de sluitertijd hoefde te bekommeren. Daarna heb er een collage van gemaakt.

Overigens heb ik gemerkt dat in Lightroom het alleen met een omweg mogelijk is om een uitsnedes in een voorkeuze te zetten.

1) F5,6 - 1/1000s - ISO400

2) F8,0 - 1/500s - ISO400

3) F11,0 - 1/200s - ISO400

4) F14,0 - 1/100s - ISO400

– – –

Challenge was ‘favourite photo-technique, or not...’.

I don’t have a really favourite photo-technique. Depending on the subject, idea or time of the day I use one or more photo-techniques. Now I used bokeh in combination with questioning with what depth of field works. You can see the answer: four times the same motive. For this I used a tripod, put the camera in aperture mode so I didn’t need to figure out the shuttertime. Then I made from the four photos a collage.

By the way, I noticed that in Lightroom it is only possible to put a crop into a preset by using a detour.

1) F5,6 - 1/1000s - ISO400

2) F8,0 - 1/500s - ISO400

3) F11,0 - 1/200s - ISO400

4) F14,0 - 1/100s - ISO400

No further use without my explicit consent

Not sure if it’s been shared by others. This is a simple SNOT technique that has small footprint and is quite stable.

further experiments on the Inset Track for a project maybe probably.

I fell in love with gouaches <3

Couldn't wait to try this...I LOVED Tami's and Jennifer's cards so much!!

I used Hero Hues chalk for the background though as I wanted the wording to show through....

Can't wait to get more stamps I can do this with!!!

If you're anything like me, you're swimming in spares of the stud shooter triggers. They're a fiddly bit that doesn't seem to connect to anything else. Seems to...

In this album are a few other ways of using them, but here is a very easy way to turn them into spaceship greebling, or ornate building ledges, and well, many more possible uses.

Anyway, what are some cool uses you've found for them?

Just testing out an interesting lightroom technique from the Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Killer Tips website. It could be done in ACR or another raw processing program as well (I'm assuming).

I thought it gave a haunted/ghostly quality to this shot of a staircase leading to a locked gate at Fatehpur Sikri outside of Agra in India. Supposedly the technique includes scaling back on the saturation, but I liked the effect of keeping saturation close to normal on this shot.

Fatehpur Sikri, India

August 2007

Alright, just like others on Flickr, I’ve been asked how I get my HDR image to pop the way they do. Well, while in Baltimore I used my handy Flip Video to show you how simple my setup is.

Here is the link to me in Baltimore freezing my butt off, showing off the simple technique of shooting a rental car with 9 exposures. (don't mind the bags under my eyes... that's jetlag and aging for ya)

Okay, I shoot 9 exp because... well, my D200 can do it. It's digital and free. Now I typically take one shot. A test shot, with my metering on the largest matrix mode there is, to get an overall average of the scene's exposure. Plus with going further + and -, you cover more of the tonal range, so hopefully that contributes to a better overall final image.

But before I do that, I still need to find a shot that is interested and well composed on it’s own. Okay, got one? That was easy.

I use a tripod and remote trigger on Ch (high speed shutter) to snap all the shots at once. But take a single shot first to make sure the MAIN SUBJECT looks properly exposed.

If the mid-range looks to be exposed properly, then I'll know that it's what I want. Now I shoot 9 exp at 1stop intervals. Thus, if my scene normally would be shot at 1/60th, that means I'll be capturing the tonal range from +/- 4stops. There is a better chance that I'll get exposures of the darkest areas and brightest areas that way. So:

1/60, 1/1250, 1/640, 1/320, 1/160, 1/40, 1/20, 1/10, 1/5

So right there that covers more range and thus get more tonal coverage.

But that's only the tip of the ice cream. Now is time to get the images on the computer and process them.

Here is a quick 10 minute video on how I process the images with Photomatix and then Photoshop CS3

So in Photomatix, I roughly use these settings:

Strength: 100

Saturation: 100

Light Smoothing: (either the 4th or 5th button)  this has a dramatic effect on your overall image

Luminosity: Usually 10. Less = more halo affect on horizon, but does work better with the 4th Light Smoothing button.

Play around with these the most, as they will influence your image the most.

Tone:

white: 100

black: 100

Gamma: between 1.40 and 1.15

Color:

Temperature: between -2 and 4

Saturation Highlights: 10

Saturation Shadows: 10

Micro:

Micro-contrast: 10 (love me a good contrast)

Micro-smoothing: 5-30 (30 being smooth, 5 being pretty dramatic, but also lots of noise in the sky)

S/H:

Highlight Smoothing: 0

Shadow Smoothing: 0

Shadow Clipping: 0 unless I want some areas dark

Process. Save.

Once I get my photo into CS3, I take my time to dodge/burn the photo so all those little weird dark areas that Photomatix creates are all evened out. Once it's all even... ready for this, I:

Create a dupe layer

change it to: SCREEN (which makes it really bright)

adjust it to about.. I dunno, 30% or so until it looks properly exposed

Then flatten

Then use DODGE/BURN to even out the exposure and any areas that appear too dark/light

Create another dupe layer

change it to: SOFT or HARD light to exaggerate the colors a bit

adjust it appropriately.

Flatten

Once I do that, I might use the SPONGE tool to either saturate or desaturate the colors so it's even on the photo.

Now for the sky, if I want crazy clouds or colors, I use a magic wand or something to select the sky and thencreate another layer.

open up OPTIKVERVE'S VIRTUAL PHOTOGRAPHER and go through some of the presets in there. My personal favorites are:

Photocopy

Radiant

Landscape

Etc. Then I apply it, and adjust my layer, between 20 and 80%, depending on how much it changes the image

LARGE VERSION for educational purposes only.

That's about it really. There might be other things I do, but I always dodge/burn to even out the shadows and highlights. While the colors are vivid, I don't like things looking too crazy... usually.

Also known as the hiding behind the table approach.
