I think we need you to elaborate on the spinning christmas tree phenomenon, rather than the exposure details.

Oh yeah, I explained it on the Flickr page, but I guess you guys don't go there. My parents have had a spinning tree for as long as I can remember. Obviously you can only do this with fake trees. It spins pretty slowly, but it's pretty cool I think.

Oh, I thought that was one of those witty 'cover the truth' explanations.

 

[sid]

Sure. I used a tripod and set my camera to manual mode, set the ISO speed to 100, set the aperture to to f/22, and then did a 30 second exposure. I adjusted things a bit in Photoshop, but that's about it, nothing too crazy. Thanks by the way.

Thanks I just need to get a spinning christmas tree now ;P Btw, is the red tone created just by the christmas tree?

EDIT:

A friend turned model (for me)

I can ask my Mom where she got the stand. She replaced it in recent years, so I am guessing you could buy it if you wanted.

Yes, the glow is from the tree.

The third pic is really good.

Hehe I was actually kidding about getting a christmas tree, I havent got one since I was a kid.

Thanks for the compliment, man. Any appreciation coming from the people in this thread means a lot, youre all like pros to me

 

[Wander]

So I know I'm really late in noticing, but man I really love this picture. Do you have a higher-res version of it, Wander?

Hehe, thanks! Yes, I just created a Flickr account, when you view the slideshow you can see it in a much higher resolution. The picture could've been a lot sharper, though...

People buy Christmas Trees in India?

I just take pictures for fun. Never took a class or anything, so I am hardly a pro.

Yea, christmas is celebrated pretty well here. We have a nice christian population.

You dont have to go to classes to be a pro, as long as your pics turn out so good, you're a pro

Dude, you take awesome pictures. :tup:

Sid, that last picture is an awesome fashion shot!

Here's a scan from a film print (I know, need to get an actual film scanner):

This has a very 60's black and white feel to it. Very nice.

Hey thanks

Btw thats a great shot. Is there a way to tune the contrast while taking a B&W shot?

 

[Plasmadaemon]

Yep, there is a way - it's called 'hand in your roll of film to a chemist and watch them use an automated colour developer machine for your precious Ilford 400'.

 

[Zarniwoop]

Both of these are horribly out of focus; but with no tripod, being in a hurry, and with the second one taken in pitch blackness it was the best I could do.

This one was just before entering the tunnel, most of what you see here is rubbish that has been dumped, but there are a few rats hidden between some of the junk.

This one was taken with a torch and a flash, with the torch off it is pitch black inside.

Overall the tunnel is nearly a mile long.

 

[Kantham]

Big Al and Sid are the biggest sex beast I have ever witnessed on here. ,,lol

 

[sid]

^ Oh Yeah!

@ Zarniwoop:

The first pic is great. What place is that?

My new set at picasa

Did you tweak the pics ? Nice constrast and saturation.
