Photoshelter...

Recently I signed up for photoshelter just to see why the pro photographers use it. Exploring through the different features of it I came across this new embeding gallery option. So after deciding to upload some pics of mine, I gave it a shot.



Very nifty. Maybe later on in the near future, I shall upload better pics in my photoshelter account.

CS3 editing...

Just a self portrait I recently took. Decided to do some editing on it when I discovered the "Unsharp mask" tool. Which left me with an image like this.

Panorama...

Heres another photomerged picture of my house. I finally realised the technique behind taking a panormaic photo. The key is to stay positioned in one place, where you are able to get a full view of your panoramic subject. As you take a photo of each section, remember to only move your camera from right to left. But do not move to another area.

A youtube video that may help you with taking a panoramic photo.

CS3 photomerging...

This is somthing I am really excited to show you. Its something I just recently learnt and did (thanks youtube). I wanted to take a full long pic of our dining room, hall and two rooms (the kitchen and my room). Unfortunately I do not have a 10-22mm lens - which I doubt would also do the job right- to capture the space. So instead I resolved to taking two different pics of the rooms

and then combing them both together, using CS3 [extended version] photomerge. The result was amazing. Sure there were a few imperfections. But once taken care, it looked like one whole photo.



This a video from youtube which greatly helped me. So, I reckon it may be of help to you aswell.

Swallowed...

I wanted to make it seem like the light was swallowing me in. So I adjusted the settings for an overexposure shot and stood in front of it. Good thing I chose to wear a dark shirt, considering its the only part of me that does not look disfigured.
