Time-lapse of Kuala Lumpur by Robert Whitworth

Robert Whitworth Photography took 5 months and 400 hours of solid work to create this video. He used 4 cameras (a Nikon D800, two D7000s, and a D3200) and 5 lenses (16-35mm, 10-24mm, 70-200mm, 50mm, and 10.5mm) during 40 different shoots. In the end, he had 19,997 separate photographs weighing a total of 640 gigabytes.

• levitation.

I think, not sure, this photo is taken using

• Long exposure of the dark background, plus
• flash on the person on the foreground.

• Pure levitation.

• Very nicely framed levitation.

So gonna experiment on these techniques when I'm free. Hehe :)

Wedding Cinematography standard

Saw a friend's photo (and video) coverage on his friend's wedding. Looked through the whole photo album and have this feeling that the photos composure, settings and even focus point of some of the photos are just off.

Hmm, at least, its gives me idea of what kind of photographer (or videographer) I will look for next time ;)

Personally, I like work from Liwei.

One of his latest work.

Paintball

Saw these paintball photos from Kelvin Fok's FB album, makes me wana go paintball some day. But probably not in Sg, so expensive - $50, compare to RM50 in JB. Haha.

The photos are well taken. The compositions, angles are just nice. The story that each photo is trying to convey is very clear.

Personally, I like the second photo the most :)

Notes:

• I've edited the photos before uploaded here.
• The photos are taken shamelessly without the permission from the owner.

Adding RAW Image Support for Your Camera in Windows 7

Windows 7's Pictures Explorer shows thumbnail views of JPEG and other supported imaging formats when you select the Medium icon, Large icon (default), or Extra Large icon views. However, RAW files (which are camera-specific) display only icons if you have not already installed the appropriate codecs for your camera. To install RAW file support for your camera:

1. Open your favorite web browser.
2. Navigate to http://www.microsoft.com/prophoto/downloads/codecs.aspx
3. Click the link for your camera.
4. Verify that the codec works with your camera and Windows release (32-bit or 64-bit)
5. Download and install the codec.

After installing the appropriate codec, you will be able to see thumbnail views for both JPEG and RAW files in Pictures Explorer.

How to Merge Photos in Photoshop

I was so fascinated by the use of Mask+Smudge in Photoshop to merge photos. Before this, I've always use the manual way of slowly-trace-and-crop-out the section that I want to paste on to the other photo - which is very very painstaking. Using Smudge, merging photos is just brainless mouse clicking.

[Photo] Points to note:
1. Place objects in the center before taking!
2. Don't flash when taking near and small object with wide background.
3. Don't flash when taking far objects! (example, the last photo, taken without flash (very blur cause my hand shake when taking), but the rest of the similar photos can't see background because of flash, and there aren't that colourful.
4. When taking formal shots, just place objects in center and fill up all the space, don't need the 1/3 rule to make things 'artistic'...
5. Stand same level when taking photos of people, can't really see faces when taking from below...
6. (Careful when taking people, make sure they don't 走光 eh! Will just degrade the photos... =.=')
