TJAnger - Behind The Scenes;<br>
<br>
So, it had been a hectic week for me with all these dental issues, and I didn't get time to work with my camera much, so I'm guessing by next week I'll be having some time off (or maybe the whole off?) from posting. <br>
Anyway, here are some picked shots in the process of making my last Friday's post "Anger". <br>
<br>
- The two topmost shots were experimental. One shot with f/2.2 (left) and the other at f/2.8 (right), and there is a significant change in the depth of field here. Worth noting that I needed to use a variable ND here to lengthen the exposure time as much as possible (few seconds that is) to have a better flame. The lower depth of field is kind of a requirement to hide the seam in the background (adding a curved paper proved to be a pain in the "something"). You notice also a change in the general color cast, as I was also experimenting with different White Balance settings. <br>
<br>
- The three bottom ones are the ones that were combined to form the final image. Unfortunately, I wanted to merge the other two as well but it wasn't possible because of the perspective and size issues. Here, the aperture was fixed at f/2.8, and the seam didn't seem to be a problem since it was automatically set in the dark. For the middle and rightmost images the merge was relatively easy, but when merging the leftmost one, some issues arouse. Anyway, all I wanted is actually the flame part of the matchstick, so only that part was taken for the merge. <br>
