A Feverish Pace

This past week... i have been just playing... and still playing. It is deliriously fun and an eye-opener too. I am like a five year old with a new toy. Not letting it go. Like a fever that just wouldn't go away. *lol*

I am in a lull at work now... until the year end stuffs come up by next month. Then i wouldn't have time to play anymore :(

This game i am playing is just photoshop.. hahhahahahhaa.. and the fever is called the Bain's HDR Fever. Once you caught it, even panadols won't ease the fever.

Its more fun knowing that there are some players playing the same game with me. Bain & Emila are in this HDR game too. Think my fever will still be going on for a long time because i have not created a good HDR yet. Time to tog my camera and look for more clouds.. ;) send me some big fluffy clouds my way please :)

This past week of experimenting will probably cut short my timeframe to create things for work. I have spent many waking hours just with this fever. haha.. either that or i'll be drained out and have a design block again :D Either ways, its still a gamble to take. Ot it would probably be another one of my passing phases.

Here's one to share with all of you. I wonder if i am doing it correctly...

In image processing, computer graphics, and photography, high dynamic range imaging (HDRI or just HDR) is a set of techniques that allows a greater dynamic range of luminances between light and dark areas of a scene than normal digital imaging techniques. The intention of HDRI is to accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes ranging from direct sunlight to shadows. (courtesy of Wikipedia)

Dave Hills Effect

Testbed day :)

I've been wanting to test this Dave Hill's effect for a while. Never got around to doing it till now becos of the procastinator in me :D I first saw it on Emila's web last month.

anyways... here's my first attempt.

This is picture of a kiddo i took exactly 3 years ago in Janda Baik, Pahang. There were a bunch of kids spending their holidays at their grandma's Pondok Impian*. They were posing here and there for me. I had a great time taking a whole lot of pictures of them.

I took this picture on the 5th of March 2006.. kinda long time ago... many unprocessed pictures (thank god for digital cameras). Think this kiddo would already be grown up by now! Hmm... mebbe someone somewhere knows this kid. I could show him his pictures when i go there again one day. It is a lovely place.

I wonder if i got the DH effect correctly... it looks kinda grainy to me. hmmm

Anyways... here's a good tutorial to follow for the DH effect.

Have fun trying :)

*Pondok Impian means Dream Cottage.
