<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.murkiester.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Durian-Balik-Pulau.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1748" title="Durian Balik Pulau" src="http://www.murkiester.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Durian-Balik-Pulau-1024x575.jpg" alt="" width="614" height="345" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Yey! Musim buah kat Penang neh makin dekat. Sempena kedatangan musim buah &#8211; buah tempatan melambak di tepi &#8211; tepi jalan di Penang neh, haku ingin men&#8221;tribute&#8221;kan buah &#8211; buahan tempatan dalam koleksi photography haku neh. Dan buah yang menjadi pilihan haku ialah buah durian Balik Pulau kerana buah durian  Balik Pulau adalah salah satu buah yang haku suka beli tapi haku biar sampai busuk (haha). Haku malas nak bukak kulit dia daaa..</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Tapi sebelum korang terliur melihat buah durian Balik Pulau neh, satu teka &#8211; teki haku nak bagi kat korang untuk korang teka. Hadiah dia? Sebiji buah durian untuk korang melahap. Soalan dia, berapa besar buah durian yang menjadi &#8220;model&#8221; dalam sesi photography haku ini? dan berapakah harga buah durian tersebut? hah! pikir 5 minit dulu kemudian baru klik &#8220;read more&#8221; (siapa yang malas klik, kena klik juga..kalau tak macamana nak dapat buah durian).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Ok? dah dapat jawapan dia? Boleh klik button &#8220;read more&#8221; kat bawah neh. (hehe)</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Kalau korang nak tahu, neh lar projek haku tadi. Haku terjumpa putik buah durian masa duk servey nyamuk aedes. Comel plak putik buah durian neh masa haku tengok. Dari situ, timbul satu idea nak ambil gambar &#8211; gambar buah durian neh. So, tadi haku gunakan bilik haku sebagai studio nak ambil gambar, peralatan haku guna pun semuanya DIY. Buat sendiri, mana mampu nak guna barang &#8211; barang yang photographer profesional duk guna. Hah, nak tahu tak apa barang &#8211; barang yang haku guna?? hehe</p>
<ol>
<li>Sudah tentu ler DSLR..kalau tak macamana nak ambil gambar..hehe. Haku guna, kit lens 18 &#8211; 70mm (3.5 &#8211; 5.6F), &amp; Cybertix Flash</li>
<li>Tripod</li>
<li>Meja Kipas</li>
<li>Baju putih yang tak digunakan (buat sebagai Background gambar..hehe)</li>
<li>Lampu meja (Pencahayaan tambahan)</li>
<li>Kerusi</li>
<li>Kipas angin (untuk kipas haku..hehe)</li>
<li>Majalah &#8211; majalah Digital Camera (Meja tak cukup tinggi pulak)</li>
<li>Syiling 50sen</li>
<li>Of coz lar &#8220;model&#8221; haku, encik durian</li>
<li>Dan kereta kesayangan haku..hehe</li>
</ol>
<p>Setup dia??</p>
<p>okok..tengok gambar bawah neh..</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.murkiester.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/DSC00814.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1759" title="DSC00814" src="http://www.murkiester.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/DSC00814-1024x768.jpg" alt="" width="614" height="461" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.murkiester.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/DSC00814.jpg"></a><a href="http://www.murkiester.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/DSC00815.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1760" title="DSC00815" src="http://www.murkiester.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/DSC00815-1024x768.jpg" alt="" width="614" height="461" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.murkiester.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/DSC00816.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1761" title="DSC00816" src="http://www.murkiester.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/DSC00816-1024x768.jpg" alt="" width="614" height="461" /></a>Lebih kurang macam diataslah setup yang haku guna tuk shoot gambar durian ngan kereta Ferari haku tu. Tergeliat juga tulang nak mencangkung &#8211; cangkung dan membongkok nak ambil gambar &#8211; gambar tue (huhuu). Owh ya, software yang haku gunakan untuk edit gambar &#8211; gambar tersebut haku guna Photoshop CS3 dan teknik yang haku guna ialah:</p>
<ol style="text-align: justify;">
<li>Level</li>
<li>Exposure</li>
<li>Brightness/contras</li>
<li>Curve (sometimes)</li>
<li>Photo Filter</li>
<li>Hue/Saturation</li>
<li>Lens Destortion</li>
</ol>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Teknik &#8211; teknik tak semua haku gunakan dalam edit gambar kat atas tue, bergantung pada citarasa yang haku guna. Noise? saja haku biarkan kasi nampak bising sket gambar tue terutamanya gambar kereta Ferari kerana ia melambangkan &#8220;kebisingan&#8221; ekzos kereta haku tue (haha).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">p/s: Nak jual set DSLR haku ..(huhuu sedey) WTS: Sony A200, Lens:  18-70mm(3.5-5.6),  75-300mm(4.5-5.6f), AF 35-105, Batter grip VG-B30AM  (original sony),  Flash Cybertik DF MZ45 sony mount.

<p style="text-align: justify;">p/s/s: tengah berfikir patutkah haku jual kamera haku neh..</p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.murkiester.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Digital-Camera.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1642" title="Digital Camera" src="http://www.murkiester.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Digital-Camera-1024x575.jpg" alt="" width="614" height="345" /></a></p>
<p>Salam dan selamat sejahtera kepada bloggers semua.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Siapa diantara bloggers disini yang kaki photography? mesti ramai bukan? tak kiralah yang menggunakan kamera kompak ke, DSLR ke ataupun kamera handphone. Kalau dah minat mengambil gambar, boleh dikata kaki photogrphy. Dan haku rasa ramai juga readers blog ini juga gila edit mengedit gambar mengunakan photoshop bukan. Mestilah minat, kalau dah kaki ambil gambar mesti minat mengedit, lagipun haku pernah berkata dulu, gambar tanpa edit umpama lagu tanpa irama. Cewah.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Ok, back to topic, sebenarnya entry haku kali ini haku nak reviewkan satu majalah Fotografi yang selalu haku langgan iaitu majalah <a href="http://www.facebook.com/mydcm#!/mydcm?v=wall" target="_blank">Digital Camera.</a> Siapa  yang merupakan seorang photographer mesti tahu tentang majalah ini sebab majalah ini memang menjadi salah satu sumber rujukan mereka. Dan kepada yang tidak tahu, haku akan ceritakan secara pelahan &#8211; lahan supaya korang tahu kelebihan majalah yang selalu haku baca neh.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Majalah ini sebenarnya asal dari United Kingdom dan dibawa ke Malaysia oleh syarikat <a href="http://www.velocity-media.net/" target="_blank">Velocity Media Sdn. Bhd</a>. Majalah ini mempunyai banyak info dan tips  mengenai photography jika hendak dibandingkan dengan majalh fotografi yang lain. Dari mempelajari teknik &#8211; teknik mengambil gambar sehinggalah mendapatkan info &#8211; info mengenai DSLR, semuanya anda boleh dapati dalam majalah ini. Memang tak rugi kalau menjadikan majalah ini sebagai sumber rujukan fotografi korang. Haku mula melanggan majalah ini lebih kurang setahun lepas selepas haku memiliki DSLR haku sendiri. Banyak majalah fotografi sudah haku baca dan laman &#8211; laman web haku lawati untuk mempelajari teknik &#8211; teknik mengambil dan mengedit gambar sehinggalah salah seorang rakan photographer haku mencadangkan kepada haku untuk membaca majalah Digital Camera.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Haku cukup terkejut setelah membaca majalah ini kerana terdapat info  dan ilmu yang sangat &#8211; sangat haku perlukan untuk  memantapkan ilmu fotografi  dan editing haku. Dan start daripada itu, haku terus melanggan majalah ini kerana haku rasa majalah ini sudah cukup untuk haku mengorek tip photography tanpa perlu mencarinya dilaman web atau dimajalah lain.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span id="more-1647"></span><a href="http://www.murkiester.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Out-There-Technique.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1643" title="Out There Technique" src="http://www.murkiester.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Out-There-Technique-1024x575.jpg" alt="" width="614" height="345" /></a>Sebab apa haku mengatakan yang majalah mempunyai info dan ilmu yang padat? ok, reason yang pertama, majalah ini mengajar pembaca mereka teknik &#8211; teknik untuk mengambil gambar dengan betul ala &#8211; ala gaya seorang pro. Pernahkah anda terfikir bagaimana seorang photographer profesional mengambil gambar panorama yang cukup menarik? bagaimana mengambil gambar potrait dengan betul? Pernah tak anda rasa tension bila gambar yang diambil tidak seperti yang digambarkan oleh mata kita? dan macam &#8211; macam lagi persoalan dikepala kita bagaimana mendapatkan gambar yang menarik dan cun. Majalah ini dapat memberikan jawapan terhadap segala persoalan yang bermain difikiran anda.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Dulu haku tak tahu cara yang betul untuk mengambil gambar muka orang. Dulu haku pun tak tahu bagaimana nak shoot gambar burung dan dulu pun haku tak tahu bagaimana hendak dapatkan gambar air menitis dari kepala paip. Majalah inilah yang banyak memberikan tunjuk ajar kepada haku untuk mengambil gambar &#8211; gambar yang dahulunya haku tak tahu bagaimana untuk diambil dengan betul. Maklumlah, nak pegi kelas photography, haku tak mampu (haha).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.murkiester.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/DSLR-Skills.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1648" title="DSLR Skills" src="http://www.murkiester.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/DSLR-Skills-1024x575.jpg" alt="" width="614" height="345" /></a>Dengan membaca majalah ini juga, korang bukan saja dapat mengetahui  teknik – teknik yang selalu digunakan oleh seorang pro untuk mendapatkan gambar yang menarik, korang juga boleh menguasai skill – skill mengunakan DSLR  korang. Apa yang menyebabkan haku betul &#8211; betul jatuh cinta dengan majalah ini ialah tip dan ilmu yang mereka berikan untuk menggunakan DSLR secara maksimum. Malah, jika anda membaca majalah ini, anda akan terkejut jika mereka memberikan tip &#8211; tip mendapatkan gambar yang cukup menarik dengan hanya menggunakan Sebuah DSLR berserta tool &#8211; tool yang hampir kesemuanya DIY.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Satu contoh haku boleh berikan, kalau hendak mendapatkan gambar potrait yang cantik anda perlukan peralatan studio bukan? Dalam majalah ini, mereka akan menggunakan barang &#8211; barang yang terdapat dalam rumah anda seperti kain putih, kerusi dan lampu meja sahaja (boleh rujuk isu No. 51 keluaran Mac 2010)</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.murkiester.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Photoshop.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1646" title="Photoshop" src="http://www.murkiester.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Photoshop-1024x575.jpg" alt="" width="614" height="345" /></a>Tutorial photoshop juga ditunjukkan dalam majalah ini. cukup mudah  difahami lengkap dengan screenshoot tutorial. Mostly, kalau haku hendak  mengedit gambar, aku akan merujuk mana &#8211; mana majalah yang menunjukkan  tutorial yang berkaitan dengan gambar yang mahu diedit oleh haku.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.murkiester.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Out-there.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1649" title="Out there" src="http://www.murkiester.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Out-there-1024x575.jpg" alt="" width="614" height="345" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.murkiester.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Hotshots.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1650" title="Hotshots" src="http://www.murkiester.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/Hotshots-1024x575.jpg" alt="" width="614" height="345" /></a>Dalam majalah ini juga, pihak editor memberi peluang kepada pembaca mereka untuk menunjukan bakat mereka dalam mengambil gambar. Dalam ruangan <em>Out there ..Challenge</em> dan <em>Hotshoots</em> korang boleh lihat gambar &#8211; gambar yang diambil oleh pembaca &#8211; pembaca diletakkan dalam ruangan itu. Malah, pihak majalah ini juga mengadakan satu misi kepada pembaca mereka mengambil gambar berdasarkan topik yang diberikan oleh mereka setiap bulan. Ia lebih kurang macam assignment lar (haha). Dan hadiahnya? rasanya korang tak sanggup terlepas hadiah yang diberikan oleh mereka.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Haku pernah beberapa kali menghantar gambar kepada mereka, tapi masih tiada rezeki, tak pernah terpilih. Hoho..</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.murkiester.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/DG-Interview.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1644" title="DG Interview" src="http://www.murkiester.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/DG-Interview-1024x575.jpg" alt="" width="614" height="345" /></a>Dalam majalah ini juga disertakan sekali interview &#8211; interview yang dilakukan oleh pihak majalah dengan photographer &#8211; photographer profesional dunia. Dan ruangan inilah paling digemari oleh haku kerana ia memberi inspirasi kepada haku untuk menjadi seorang photographer. Selain itu, korang boleh mendapat tip &#8211; tip dari seorang photographer profesional apabila anda membaca interview mereka ini. Memang best bila membaca interview mereka ini.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><a href="http://www.murkiester.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/New-Gear.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-1645" title="New Gear" src="http://www.murkiester.com/Blog/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/New-Gear-1024x575.jpg" alt="" width="614" height="345" /></a>Jika anda mahukan update mengenai gear &#8211; gear atau DSLR yang terdapat dipasaran, majalah ini dapat memberikan anda update yang anda mahukan dalam bentuk review dan rating.  Mereka juga membuat comparison diantara gear yang sama tapi berlainan brand supaya korang boleh memilih apa brand gear yang patut dibeli. Sebagai contoh lens dan printer.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Selain itu, mereka juga menyedia FAQ terhadap gear &#8211; gear yang sering digunakan oleh photographer supaya korang boleh mendapat infomasi terhadap gear tersebut.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Kalau korang yang berkira &#8211; kira mahu membeli DSLR tetapi pening untuk memilih mana DSLR yang patut korang beli, korang boleh belek majalah ini. Setiap bulan mereka akan membuat review terhadap DSLR terbaru yang keluar dipasaran dan mereka juga akan melakukan perbandingan terhadap DSLR &#8211; DSLR berserta rating untuk menunjukkan kepada pembaca mereka perbezaan DSLR  berlainan brand. Disitu korang boleh mendapat sedikit gambaran untuk memilih DSLR yang ingin korang beli itu.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Itu lah sedikit sebanyak review yang haku boleh kongsikan kepada korang semua. Majalah ini sejak haku mula membacanya haku tidak pernah miss melanggannya. Setiap keluaran terbaru, pasti ada benda baru yang akan haku pelajari. Biasanya, kalau haku baca tip &#8211; tip terbaru dari majalah ini, haku akan mencubanya. Lagipun, semenjak haku menggunakan DSLR, haku banyak berguru dengan majalah ini dan mempraktikannya dengan rakan &#8211; rakan haku. So, haku suggest kepada mereka yang mempunyai DSLR tapi tidak membaca majalah ini untuk membacanya. Tidak rugi. Memang bagus untuk photographer amatur macam haku neh (hehe). Bukan susah nak dapat majalah ini, kat MPH pun ada, cuma jangan beli yang keluaran UK sudah, sebab harga dia 5 pound sterling kot mauahaha..mahal tue..</p>

<div><span style="font-size: large;"><strong>Edit Gambar ala &#8211; ala Dave Hill</strong></span></div>
<p></span></p>
<p>Tutorial ini haku cedok dari forum photoskool.net . dimana penulis tutorial neh amek dari sebuah website lain sebelum dialih bahasa sedikit (rujuk Original Link dibawah.). Tutorial ini bukan nak edit gambar supaya jadi 100% sama ngan mamat <a href="http://www.myspace.com/davehillphoto">Dave Hill</a> tu. Mamat tu memang gile otai dalam bab &#8211; bab gambar seperti ini. Tutorial ini cuma mengajar kita mengedit gambar supaya kelihatan ala &#8211; ala Dave Hill.</p>
<p><span id="more-227"></span>1. Anda perlulah memulakannya dengan gambar yang mempunyai pencahayaan disekeliling subject ataupun lighting yang ketara pada gambar.</p>
<p>2. Pastikan level dan color diubahsuai pd original photo sebelum anda bermula dengan teknik Dave Hill.<br />

<p><strong><span style="font-size: large;">Light Graffiti (with tutorial) </span></strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>Light Graffiti </strong>and known as <strong>light painting </strong>or <strong>light drawing</strong> is one of the photography technique. Light graffiti usually made at night or in a darkened room by moving a hand-held light source or by moving the camera.</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SMKKE8obcrQ/Sv-v1agL9DI/AAAAAAAABBU/CKy1qdTzkyo/s1600-h/light2.jpg"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_SMKKE8obcrQ/Sv-v1agL9DI/AAAAAAAABBU/CKy1qdTzkyo/s320/light2.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The light can either be used to selectively illuminate parts of the subject or to &#8220;paint&#8221; a picture by shining it directly into the camera lens. Light painting requires a sufficiently slow shutter speed, usually a second or more.</div>
<p><a name="more"></a><span id="more-222"></span><strong>What u need: </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Camera</li>
<li> torchlight (<em>any type and colour</em>)</li>
<li> tripod (<em>important due to the long exposure times involved</em>) or flat surface</li>
<li> shutter release cable or use self timer if u don&#8217;t have shutter release cable in order to reduce/minimize camera shake that will cause blurring picture.</li>
</ul>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><strong>Camera setting</strong>:</div>
<ul>
<li>ISO 100 (<em>to minimize noise and increase exposure tolerance</em>)</li>
<li>Aperture set to widest setting</li>
<li>shutter speed from 5&#8221; to 30&#8221;</li>
<li> focus set to Manual Focus(a<em>utofocus systems may not perform well in low light</em>)</li>

<div style="text-align: center;"></div>
<p>It is important to choose the right photo for this miniature effect. Photos that taken from above with wide viewing angle is tend to be more suitable for this effect.</p>
<p>How to make it:</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SMKKE8obcrQ/SuXPQOJFJfI/AAAAAAAAAvc/ZdU4Oel1aSI/s1600-h/a.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SMKKE8obcrQ/SuXPQOJFJfI/AAAAAAAAAvc/ZdU4Oel1aSI/s320/a.JPG" /></a></div>
<p>1. Open an image that you want to edit and press <b>&#8216;D&#8217;</b> <i><b>(No.1)</b></i> to turn the default black and white background/foreground color. Make sure the foreground color is black.</p>
<p>2. Press <b>G <i>(No.2)</i></b> or choose gradient tool. At the top setting, select Reflected Gradient <b><i>(No.3)&nbsp;</i></b></p>
<p>3. Select Edit in Quick Mask Mode by pressing <b>Q</b><br /><b><i> </i></b></p>
<p>4. Drag a vertical line or horizontal line <b><i>(No. 5) </i></b>on your image. Start from where you want the focus center to be and drag upwards to where you want the image to be out of focus.</p>
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SMKKE8obcrQ/SuXPTatMD6I/AAAAAAAAAvk/lX_ejeVC1xk/s1600-h/b.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><br /></a><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SMKKE8obcrQ/SuXPTatMD6I/AAAAAAAAAvk/lX_ejeVC1xk/s1600-h/b.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SMKKE8obcrQ/SuXPTatMD6I/AAAAAAAAAvk/lX_ejeVC1xk/s320/b.JPG" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">You&#8217;ll see a red mask after you release your mouse. The red color is darker at the center of the focus and fades as you go out of focus. If you&#8217;re not satisfied with the focus area, just go to Edit &gt; Step Backward, drag the line again until you get the focus you want.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">&nbsp;<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SMKKE8obcrQ/SuXPWOXw5CI/AAAAAAAAAvs/1EThEVxrDvY/s1600-h/c.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SMKKE8obcrQ/SuXPWOXw5CI/AAAAAAAAAvs/1EThEVxrDvY/s320/c.JPG" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div>
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">5. Next, press <b>&#8216;Q&#8217; </b>to switch back to Edit in Standard Mode, You&#8217;ll see dashed lines surrounding your image.</div>
<p>6. Now, go to <b>Filter &gt; Blur &gt; Lens Blur.&nbsp;&nbsp;</b></p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SMKKE8obcrQ/SuXPZnomJ9I/AAAAAAAAAv0/UM4pUzuOM2A/s1600-h/d.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SMKKE8obcrQ/SuXPZnomJ9I/AAAAAAAAAv0/UM4pUzuOM2A/s320/d.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<p><b>&nbsp;</b> </p>
<p>7. Adjust the Iris and Specular Highlights settings until you satisfied . Here&#8217;s my settings:</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SMKKE8obcrQ/SuXPbAxFk7I/AAAAAAAAAv8/ky02xD1LSO8/s1600-h/e.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SMKKE8obcrQ/SuXPbAxFk7I/AAAAAAAAAv8/ky02xD1LSO8/s320/e.JPG" /></a></div>
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>
<p>8. Press CTRL+D on your keyboard to remove the dashed lines on your image.</p>
<p>This fake miniatute effect requires a fair amount of trial and error. You may not get something you like the first time. Step backward several times and repeat step 4, 5, 6 and 7 until you get something nice. Try a different focus area or adjust your Lens Blur settings to get something different.</p>
<p>The next few steps will enhance the coloring of your image, so it&#8217;ll look more like miniature model.</p>
<p>9. Go to <b>Layer &gt; New Adjustment Layer &gt; Hue/Saturation</b>. Increase the Master saturation to around 35-45%. </p>
<p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SMKKE8obcrQ/SuXPb1VO49I/AAAAAAAAAwE/rjxbggjxdjg/s1600-h/f.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_SMKKE8obcrQ/SuXPb1VO49I/AAAAAAAAAwE/rjxbggjxdjg/s320/f.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<p>10. Next, go to <b>Layer &gt; New Adjustment Layer &gt; Level</b>. Slide the black slider a little bit to the right to change the input levels until you get a better contrast on your picture. You can also slide the white slider to the left if you need to.</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SMKKE8obcrQ/SuXPcx_42WI/AAAAAAAAAwM/TNxXRkX2NFY/s1600-h/g.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_SMKKE8obcrQ/SuXPcx_42WI/AAAAAAAAAwM/TNxXRkX2NFY/s320/g.JPG" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">and ..this my final image:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"></div>

<div style="font-family: Times,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;">RAW is normally only used when additional computer processing is intended. However, raw has numerous advantages over JPEG such as:<span style="font-size: small;">: -&nbsp;</span></div>
<ul style="font-family: Times,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;">
<li><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;Higher image quality. The pixel value are more accurate and less posterization</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;Bypassing of undesired steps in the camera&#8217;s processing,including sharpening and noise reduction</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">The maximum amount of image detail compared the JPEG images. Raw image typically lossless compression, but JPEG image typically save using a lossy compression format.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Finer control. Allow us to manipulate more parameter by using RAW conversion software(such as lightness,white balance, hue etc..) and do so with greater variability.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">More precisely highlight,shadows and saturated color.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">The color space can be set to whatever is desired..</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Different demosaicing algorithms can be used. </span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">The contents of raw files include more information, and potentially higher quality, than the converted results, in which the rendering parameters are fixed, the color gamut is clipped, and there may be quantization<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantization_%28image_processing%29" title="Quantization (image processing)"></a> and compression artifacts.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;">Large transformations of the data, such as increasing the exposure of a dramatically under-exposed photo, result in less visible artifacts when done from raw data than when done from already rendered image files. Raw data leave more scope for both corrections and artistic manipulations, without resulting in images with visible flaws such as Posterization<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posterization" title="Posterization"></a>.</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family: Times,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Follow this advice if want to spend less time editing picture in front the computer by shot using high-quality JPEG Setting: -&nbsp;</span></div>
<ul style="font-family: Times,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;">
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Color space</b> &#8211; keep Adobe RGB for maximum compatibility when it comes to printing and sharing your photo</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Sharpening</b> &#8211; try it out on various settings to get sharp and clear image on the computer without harsh pixellation on finer detail.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Saturation</b> &#8211; make sure not make to far when ramp up the color saturation.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Hue </b>- Some cameras have more adjustment than others in the JPEG processing menu,but this is on you will want to leave unchanged as it alters the hue of the color spectrum and can throw color way off.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Contrast</b> &#8211; this is one adjustment can make in digital darkroom to boost impact, make sure you wake the setting up for really deep blacks and bright highlights in your JPEGs</span></li>
<li><span style="font-size: small;"><b>Brightness</b> &#8211; Leave it alone at the default setting. Images can appear washed out or suffer lack of contrast otherwise,</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="font-family: Times,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">A well set-up camera taking lightly compressed JPEGs with the color and sharpening setting tweaked for maximum impact will result in minimum editing.&nbsp;&nbsp;</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Times,&quot;Times New Roman&quot;,serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>

To get correct color temperature, select manual/custom white balance from the White Balance Menu, activate your camera&#8217;s calibration button and then shot of a grey or white area so the camera can calibrate the White Balance. Here the option you can choose from your WB option:<br /><a name='more'></a>
<ol>

<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">shady</span> &#8211; produce warmer tones when shooting in shade.</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Kelvin</span> &#8211; Produce a WB according to the temperature of light in degrees Kelvin. Only use this if you&#8217;re positive of light temperature</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Pre</span> &#8211; best weapon of choice when the light temperature is mixed</li>
<li><span style="font-weight: bold;">Auto </span>- leave it alone if you want retain control.</li>

<p>Selecting the correct ISO in-camera is probably the most critical setting you can make because it&#8217;s impossible to effectively reduce noise later without trading off sharpness and reducing contras. Choose the lowest ISO possible on your camera at all time for the best result. Pixels will be sharper,colors punchier and contrast at its best.</p>
<p>ISO 100</p>
<p>Choosing the lowest setting of ISO give the finest result possible as the sensor can perform at its optimum setting</p>
<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SMKKE8obcrQ/StNZ1ArKEiI/AAAAAAAAAl4/CvjNS_5foyw/s1600-h/100.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 180px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SMKKE8obcrQ/StNZ1ArKEiI/AAAAAAAAAl4/CvjNS_5foyw/s320/100.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391751946141569570" border="0" /></a><br />ISO 400</p>
<p>at ISO 400 the camera increase the grain, or electrical sensitivity, of the sensor and the results are more interference.</p>
<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SMKKE8obcrQ/StNZ1qhgT_I/AAAAAAAAAmA/G7MxU2-bCRM/s1600-h/400.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 180px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SMKKE8obcrQ/StNZ1qhgT_I/AAAAAAAAAmA/G7MxU2-bCRM/s320/400.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391751957375373298" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">ISO 1600</span></p>
<p>at this ISO, camera boost the sensor signal at the expense of sharpness, contrast and color balance.</p>
<p><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SMKKE8obcrQ/StNZ2Immk8I/AAAAAAAAAmI/QcnDP9lwGgU/s1600-h/1600.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 180px; height: 320px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_SMKKE8obcrQ/StNZ2Immk8I/AAAAAAAAAmI/QcnDP9lwGgU/s320/1600.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391751965449819074" border="0" /></a></p>
