CSI this!

I love CSI — ‘cept for when they go “Hollywood” on what their computers/Photoshop can do.  I think this comic by Nedroid illustrates this best.

Anyway, macro is scary — it almost makes some CSI-things plausible:

Try running this over AFIS and get nothing.  )

If we had Photoshop-CSI Edition, they’d be able to extrapolate which part of the house has a view of the light like that, and what kind of camera I’m holding, based solely on the position of the hotshoe.  LOL  (Also, not because of the macro or anything, they could probably tell that I need to sleep earlier.  And often-er.)

ohnoes!

My bokeh attempt.  Or maybe a statement for something(?) 

bubble gun fun!

My inaanak (goddaughter to you) got one of those light-up bubble guns — which made for some great long exposure samples.

If only she’d stop shooting me with it.  )  (4-second exposures)

macro toys.

Playing around with the AF-Macro setting — I must have something set wrong because the pictures appeared darker on a computer screen — I cheated a little by fixing white balance/tone/exposure on Lightroom. :p

Film setting: Vibrant

Sharpness: 0

Saturation: 0

Contrast: +1

NR: -2

It could also very well be the fluorescent lighting in the batcave — ANYWAY, here are the pictures:

gimme a “P”!

Q-Steer + Choro-Q!

dmc2.  (check the upper-left portion of the image: NOISE!  I love NR: -2!)

trish.

lx3 get!

So.  I bought an LX3 yesterday.  Here are some of the first few shots I took.  :p  (I ran a resize on Lightroom.  Also, mine came with firmware 2.0 out-of-the-box!)

Tetel smiling like she’s not really sick.  :p

Shay, multitasking.

Look who was passing by! 

Podium, at night.  (Haven’t figured out the Film settings at the time.  )

Woohoo!  Multiple exposures!  (But this isn’t the best sample of that.)

— Here’s the rest:

***

Now I’m seriously studying how I can get the most out of this camera — experimenting with film modes, (noise reduction done up -2) aperture settings and shutter speeds.  Will post more stuff when I take ‘em!

A very special thanks to Kimstore!  Speedy replies to SMS inquiries, low prices, VERY convenient pick-up location (St. Francis Square!) — and a seller who loves the gadgets enough to know/answer queries about ‘em.  Thanks, Kim!

slide film!

Finally!  Loaded Jaydee’s Ektachrome.  (Felt like I wasted it, really, boooooooo)  Will take LESS pictures of buildings.  Will take MORE pictures of people doing their thang.

Camera: Vivitar IC-100

Film: Kodak Ektachrome 64
