Sony The NEX Image thread

Martin.

Great set of images especially the still life set. This is the sort of thing i want to do and am setting up a tiny studio on my office. ........... What lighting do you use?

Thanks Andy. I only use natural light from a north facing window. Sometimes I diffuse it with a role of transparent paper. To create shadows and add depth I used 4 large (3 feet diameter ) reflectors. Sometimes a small mirror to lighten up small areas. That's it

Particularly like your second one - great mood and atmosphere. I can almost feel the damp soaking into me.

Beach scenes

Went to the beach this morning. Bad weather often makes it interesting, right?

Divided sea.

Seaweed and shells.

Both taken with the Nex 3 and E 18-55 OSS.

Not much, Jason. I used a 8x ND filter to get a exposure in the 30 seconds range. The glow on the water was anticipated because of the moon, shedding it's light on the scene. I converted the shot in LR and applied a split-tone.

Divine light...

I know...its a cliché but I couldn't resist.

Divided fluids

Just a little experiment using 3 types of fluids and a glass.

That is very cool - what a great image to spur on future chemists - and film makers! I also neglected to comment earlier that I loved your first early morning beach photo, in particular, for its other worldliness. And as for "Divine Light" being a cliché - I don't find it to be at all. I love the water whenever and wherever I can get it - and that's a lovely dark moment with the light breaking through.

Jason, you've got yourself an awfully cute little fellow there - though I'm sure he'd be upset to hear me describe him as "cute"! Mr. Tough Guy! In your earlier group of three, there's something about that image of the tiger hanging from that grab bar in the car that I really liked the moment I saw it. He has a well loved look. The intense colors and lighting show off that special glow that I think he must have for his little friend.

Very cool shot. Did you get it on the first time?

Not exactly. The biggest problem was aligning the three bottles, so the separate flows would melt together in the glass. It took several attempts. One of the advantages of digital.

Thanks BB.. although i'd love to claim him as mine he's only my little cousin I took this photo of him on a trip to Jamaica back in april and decided the other day how could i make this picture a little more unique =) and i'm sure he wouldn't mind being called cute ;-) i'll forward the message.

Jason, you're really going to town with your post processing and its worked out extremely well! Is this a recipe that you've put together with a little of this and that? I like the old time weathered film feel...both in the color and black and white very much.

 

[Jason Patterson]

yea kind of sort I've jus been playing around with the on board presets and then adjusting them to my liking =)

 

[Jason Patterson]

No Processing !
