Dreaming To Be A Famous Photographer

[Nooblet]

Anyone know a place that can remove the hot mirror in my Canon Powershot and replace it with an IR filter or clear glass? I've been TRYING to do some IR pics with a Hoya filter, but the exposure required takes too loooong (at least 2 seconds on ISO 200).

 

Found a few sites on the net that can do it...problema lang ang mahal!

 

 

I'd use a tripod if I were you

Converting a camera to purely IR could be fun. If you have spare cameras if not, a filter and a tripod will do.

I do use a tripod...problem is i'm getting motion blur in the shots because of the wind. Also, the noise reduction on long exposures isn't as good on a Powershot compared to an EOS.

 

As for spare cameras...let's just say Ihave more than enough, which is why I can readily sacrifice my older G3 to convert it into a pure IR camera. Guess, ipon muna so i can have it converted abroad. Anyhoo, just in case anyone has any local contacts, share nyo nalang! thanks!

The wind can affect the camera-on-tripod's stability? Maybe it would be better to invest in a much stabler tripod like Manfrotto. It's worth it. I've tried 30 sec exposures outdoor with no blurring problems with the camera on a good tripod.

 

The good tripod might be cheaper than the conversion.

The wind was blowing, so the trees and plants were swaying (hence the motion blur). The tripod is just fine, although I do plan to upgrade my tripod with a better head soon.

Very true. Ang gulo nga. Masyadong malakas ang contrast ng damo sa flower.

Then again it's that same contrast that seems to be the weight.

Mali lang siguro yung framing/composition ko.

 

TY sa comments

Actually, there are shops there that are reputable and give out the same warranties as the ones in the malls. Quiapo, through the help of photographer John Chua has become a photographer's haven. You can basically find almost any equipment you might require for your shoots in quiapo. In fact, most professional photographers buy their stuff at the shops in Quiapo.

I'm not a pro... so dont take my C&C seriously

 

I prefer the pix where her cheeks & jaw are covered by her hair... I think her cheekbones doesn't match her square jaws... (please dont tell her I said that :hypocritesmiley: )

uu nga square face...heavy jaws....dapat....mataas yung camera....di po ako photographer

[pnoize2k4]

I agree with nooblet here. I'm very particular of where the hair is placed to the point that I ask the stylist to move there hair where I want it or I ask the model to do it for me or at times I move the "lost" strand of hair myself.

 

I also see that the model has the tendency to slouch a bit. Try making her aware of it.

 

But what's important is that you and the model had fun during the shoot!
