    Great rendition of shapes, curves and tones. Seems like almost a yogic posture, as with some of the photos in your portfolio. Quite fascinating and sensuous in nature.

    Waterfall

    I don't think it's your eyes nor your monitor. :P

    There was too much contrast at the time I made this exposure. I had to bring up the overall brightness just to bring up some details in the forest background. Used a combination of curves and levels.

    I went back to the original file and tweaked it a bit. Hopefully, the Waterfall II is better than the last.

    The Stare

    This is a great photo. Many a times, I've seen human-like expressions on a orang-utan but you have captured one priceless expression of serious intent. Kind of makes me wonder what's on its mind...
  1. I was on photo assignment that day in one of the power substations my company constructed. After finishing the task at hand, I made my way out of the yard. As I was walking out, I had this sudden urge to look behind me and then saw this magnificent scene, the grandness of the clouds. I quickly took the S45 from my trouser pocket (it's that compact =) ) and captured this scene. Hope you like this scene as much as I do.

    Glamour Chess

    Very refreshing and original! Made me smile from ear-to-ear.

     

    Sort of reminds me of the chess scene in the movie Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. All sorts of funny images keep running in my head as I try to figure out how your "chess pieces" would try to outglamour each other off the board if they could animate. Ha ha.

     

    I was wondering that perhaps your chessboard might look more like the real thing if you could get a different pair of models to uniquely represent the different chess characters.

     

    Other than that, it's a nice work!

    The Bamboo

    I've always been a fan of Chinese watercolour artwork. This is my first attempt to create something like that. :p

     

    So I took several photos of our houseplant, selected the best one, crop it a bit and used the find edge filter to create the outlines. After converting to grayscale and back again to RGB, I then used the history brush tool to bring back the colours.

     

    As in real watercolour painting, I used various opacity levels to achieve the shades I desired. This is the end result.

  2. Thanks for the comment and reviews. I appreciate that very much. Come to think of it, the photo seemed very still and quiet. My girlfriend, my huskie and I were the only souls in the field that night. I caught the attention of a curious neighbourhood security guard whilst taking this shot. He must be wondering what the heck I was doing in the dark field...
  3. Hello!

     

    I was taking a walk with my girlfriend and a borrowed Canon

    Powershot S45 (been using it for nearly a month now) when I saw the

    opportunity to try out the spot metering capabilities.

     

    My first impression was to shoot in B&W instead of colour, since the

    light from the high-pressure sodium lamps will give an overall

    orange tint to the scene. Then I thought why not try the camera's

    built-in sepiatone filter? It will certainly give the scene a

    different feeling from what if I had used B&W.

     

    What do you think? Any comments or critique will be appreciated.

    Thanks!

     

    Exposure Info: S=15 secs, F=Somewhere around 5.0 (Can't really

    remember exactly), ISO 50, Sepia Filter Effect On, WB Mode =

    Incandesent, Spot Metering
