I shot this one afternoon a few months back walking cabbage beach on paradise island (to the left is the Atlantis); one of my friends were browsing through my images before we went to a photo shoot and wanted me to make a background for his computer now I have to send him a message and let him know it’s finally done I forgot about it but it’s here now and I hope you all love it as well.

A Great Ad: I love the concept behind this I really wish I got a chance to work with them on this; it’s impeccable. I really love the lighting on it, the detail of the smoke and the lit cigarettes; I really love it because it gets the point across and I can see the amount of time and effort put into it.All rights this this ad if for Advertising Agency: NeogamaBBH, BrazilSource: Ads of the World
I was watching Photoshop User TV for my weekly update and I saw a technique on the show I wanted to share with you because this blog to to keep you updated with photoshop, photography and advertising so you can assure yourself you didn’t miss anything.
Lens Vignetting - I love the effect on my photos. You can learn how to do it by clicking -
Here are examples, the first one one provided by me (It’s me in the photo for my board sports clothing line OLLIE :D) and the other one is from the Episode you will watch on Photoshop User Tv.
“What Is Lens Vignetting (or Light Fall-off)?As seen in the example picture above, vignetting (or light fall-off) is the effect caused by more light reaching the center of an image than reaching the edges. There are several types of vignetting …
Mechanical or physical vignetting is caused by an physical obstruction preventing light within the lens’ field of view from reaching the camera’s image sensor. Mechanical vignetting is perhaps the easiest form of vignetting to understand. The physical obstruction can be caused by the lens barrel, a filter, lens hood (improperly designed or misaligned) - or anything else in the way - preventing light from reaching the lens. Try looking through your viewfinder and blocking the light from reaching the edge of your lens (you can use your hand). The effect of mechanical vignetting is typically a strong, dark circular darkening most apparent in the corners of an image and it goes away as the lens is stopped down (narrower aperture). This is the easiest form of vignetting to understand.
Optical vignetting is caused by light hitting the lens aperture at a strong angle - an internal physical obstruction. This effect is often noticed in images taken with wide angle and wide aperture lenses used with wide open apertures. Even many of the best lenses have optical vignetting. Light hitting the lens directly from the front is allowed to pass through the aperture unobstructed while light hitting the lens from a strong angle is partially blocked by the aperture. A basketball passes through the hoop (aperture) much more easily if it is coming straight down into it (highly arced - or dunked) than if is is coming straight in from the side (at a hard angle - no arc). Stopping down the lens reduces or eliminates optical vignetting.
Pixel vignetting is yet another potential cause of image edge darkening. An image sensor is composed of millions of photon wells that measure/record the light hitting them. The photo wells, although extremely tiny, have a depth to them. Just as the late day sun does not hit the bottom of your trash can, light hitting the sensor at a strong angle may not hit the bottom of the photon wells. The strongest light angles will be found at the image edges. Reportedly, most manufacturers compensate for pixel vignetting in their sensor algorithms. Also, newer sensor designs may show decreased amounts of optical vignetting. “
I think this tutorial was too fast for the eye, however watching it and learn it because it’s a good one. You will love your photos more after using this
High Dynamic Range, “HDR” is hot in the photography world right now. I saw one of my friends Max from my I Love Photography facebook group posting amazing photos.
If you are interested in learning how shoot in HDR this tutorial is great for the photoshop part; hope you love it I had to share it with you all it’s great!
