Canon user thread - post your pictures here

Check out the option image -> canvas size. There you can add some pixels around your actual pic. As easy as that. ;)
 
Cool PT tried it out. I am doing head shots for my girl and I needed to know this so I can insert her name and or just add a border so it looks better!
 
Don´t forget to thank rlm for his efforts. Even though it wasn´t the easiest solution. :)

Yes, RLM thanks for the input:dankk2:. I will be sure to try that method also. And just to let both of you know AmAzInG PhOtOs from both of you. Keep it up!

nice. i like the sleek look of the 2nd. like a print mag shot. i can even imagine the shot being closer with a real in focus logo.

I dig the first shot too but it seems a little soft. but your model (the cat) has loads of personality.
 
Thanks man.

Yes, indeed, the cat-shot seems to be a bit soft but I think I like that there. :)

So well, some time passed since you last posted some pics. I wanna see something.
 
I was at my brothers friends 40th bday party this past Saturday and took some snaps of the people that were there.

These shots are of some of the kids...

I have more from the same party if you'd like. But, I'd have to sift through them. And right now, I'm off to the drive-in with my girlfriend. Double feature of Ratatouille and Evan Almighty. Good times.
 
Yeah, looks quite nice.

What did you do to the first one? Is that a flash brightening up the face?

In the third the light is great.

The last one looks kind of interesting. I think I can see your refletion in his eyes.^^

More pictures are always welcome. :)
 
thanks man.

the first one is sun. but he was really well shaded. I just corrected it some...brought up the mids and used curves and levels. At first, it was a bit underexposed.

actually the light is all sun. the girl was standing underneath a deck originally so I had her come out and stand in the evening sun.

yeah, i think my reflection is in the eyes. ha.
 
Hm, I notice that you often put the eyes very near to the center line...

However, this pic rocks.:D

thanks man.

And yes, I do sometimes abandon the rule of thirds. I cant help it. i am torn. I LOVE close ups. but i also like to encounter the whole or most of the whole head in the picture. So, i am often in a quandary when it comes time to snap the photo. I like to just take a photo that works for me regardless of that pesky but albeit effective rule. I am more interested in what i am looking at and how they are looking at me/the lens than the rule.

having said that...i respect that rule tons. i just think there are plenty of times when it has no merit. like in this famous shot...

RLM,
I agree with you 100%. The rules are made to be broken and to be followed sometimes. Just like the 180 degree rule!

I to like to have most of the head if not all in it, as sometimes I feel a bit awkward not having. When I am watching films and or videos, if the person is not established in like a medium long or medium shot I just feel that I am missing out on something.

Keep pumpin them out RLM.
 
That seemed to be a quite emotional answer.

Maybe I´m too fixated on that rule. I can´t help it either. It influences my whole perception.
