Hi,

 

This thread is carry forward from My Summer Photoshot Preview.

 

The idea of the photo shoot is to give car & photography lovers a chance to gather & practice photography skill, primary in car photography.

 

There is no special requirement for car make, bikers can also join, or photography skill, we are all here to learn. Camera equipment optional.

 

The location is tentatively Seletar. Map of location will be provide soon (in this thread).

 

Tentative timing is Sun 18th July Morning at 9am. (CAn't make it on 18th Evening as I have to study for test on Morning).

Alternate timing

1) is Sun 23 July Morning ( at about 9) or

2) Evening (about 4)

 

Tentative Participants are

Kiadaw- Myself

Any other MCF that wish to join just PM me (mobile & name & forum nick) or can contact me (see below for my phone, insurance & MLM stay away please [:p] ). If you can't make it on 18th, suggest an alt time as above.

 

The Meeting will go ahead if 3 or more member can attend, & application close (unfortunately) when it reached 6, on first come first serve basis. If the photo shoot is successful, & we think can accommodate more people, we will try to do so.

On top of that, I would suggest taking photos of individual car, We line up the car (i a few classic pose), & everyone will take turns to snap pictures of it. At the end of the day, we will combine the data. The interesting part will be the chance to take pictures of each other cars & also the different perspective of the different photographers.

The HDR generally give a very dynamic picture like seen above, however, that is not the main use for HDR.

 

In a nutshell, a HDR image contain not just the color of the subject, but the brightness as well,

 

Imagine you take an outdoor picture of a white house, with the sun as the background. On a traditional picture, the house will appear white as the core of the sun. In reality, the sun is much much brighter, but you can't extract this info from the picture right? But on a HDR photo, you can, as it contain the brightest data.

 

Then the next question you ask is, why bother. Then you have to look into HDR application in 3D scene.

 

From our high school science, we learn that when light hit an object, 3 things can happen, reflection, absolution, & refraction. On a perfect mirror, 100% reflection, on say a glossy car, or a pool of water, or our eyes, we have semi reflective surface.

 

On a mirror, what you see is what you get. Its a 100% refection of the real world. On say a pool of water on the pavement, you will notice the sky seems to be brighter than the non light emitting subjects like people in the reflection. It it because light refection are lost in the objects!

 

See the picture below. Notice how dark the reflection on the people, & how the sky reflection is still bright

So if you wanted to create a glossy reflective eyes of a scene (without rendering the scene), you can use a HDR picture as a light source, & the refection will look natural.

 

Look closely at the refection of the eyes, the "highlights" are actually the sky, & the dark areas the forest.

The HDR image to create the eyes refection is similar to this

BTW, I created the model. [:p] The final image (which manage to score a page in a UK base magazine 3DArtist) if anyone is interested.

I know its shameless self advertising... [:p]
