You dont need a lens hood. The reason why you see such bright spots is because your exposure is off. Using a smaller aperture and a lower ISO value should solve the problem.
And yeah, this really isnt the best subject for HDR.

Shih Tzu?

It looks soo cute

A tad of photochop, nothing too excessive



Camera Model - 1000D
Lens - 50mm F/1.8 II
Aperture - f/1.8
Shutter Speed - Gah
ISO - 1600



None of the above. It's the Holy Father The POPE

Bad lighting leh.
And I'm very particular about even the slightest handshake.
ISO 1600 still produces pretty images. I didn't use any noise reduction on that photo

Here's an old HDR picture that I took
Took the photo froma moving car, there's even a slight reflection on the lower right of the picture, but I couldn't be bothered to photochop it

I think I'm getting addicted to Photochop.

Setarbark!



Nah, I didn't buy that Starbucks. I just took a photo of it.

Actually the background blur was just to throw the background even more out of focus.
I used some filters on the cup itself to give it more impact

You overdid the saturation dude. Now the sky looks faux.
But I like the low angle shot of the jetty

I noticed that the background is whiter than the model's teeth

The best way is......20 shot Panorama

I think it's only UWA. If it's fisheye I think he'd mention it

in b4 ISAz
lulz

Took this awhile back. If you look properly, you can see some flucking reflection on the terminal building. Totally ruined the HDR



18mm
ISO (200?)

The bottom light trails are pretty abstract and pleasing. It's the top part that's a bit distracting Maybe crop it off?

Anyways here's a pictar of what's left of my supper . Taken with my k850i. Pretty clear for a camera phone I'd say


5mm <--lulz
F/2.8
1/250s
ISO 100
Flash fired~

Okaay...this is pretty sh!t, but I'm too lazy to PP it further.



Or is the B/W one better?



It's HDR btw, so no Exif

Dunno...Somehow I felt that the colours in the bottom part looked pretty lousy. Maybe other people might think differently?



And when I tweaked the HDR image, I was only looking at the sky, so I guess it made the bottom part underexposed

Heh. Thanks. I actually wanted to make the whole bottom part dark, but phailed

Thought I'd give this a try on New Year's Eve.



18mm
f/11
6s
ISO 100

You LIE
You screenshot'd it from some video

Anyways great lighting mate. Flash used? Or great lighting on site?

Took this in December during my sister's birthday.


50mm f/1.8
ISO 1600
1/125s

It looks more like a normal shot than a HDR.
The dynamic range of the picture looks unchanged. =(
But I like it as a normal shot, not a HDR
