Well this is more an experiment. I shot 3 photos of the same motive with a different depth. Then I superposed the three images. That is the result.

Sweet!
I love photo number 1.
5,6 and 7 all look like paintings.. you have really grown up as far as photography goes, i am really anticipating what you may have for us in the future.

**born_stubborn** · October 9th, 2006, 03:27 AM

yup really good pics, they really look like paintings as claude said

my fav is the tennis ball on the sand

**Apfe** · October 9th, 2006, 03:40 AM

awesome photos!
I really like them aswell, especially 6 & 7. I love how they all have a very nice mood to them.

**Morbid** · October 9th, 2006, 04:16 AM

3,6 and 7 are the best imo. Nice and sharp and the colors work nicely.

wow thats some realy nice work you have done there, what were you using as a background, i want to rip ur shots of lol!!! take that as a compliment, im realy realy impresed by this
what camera settings?

**Le Gab** · October 9th, 2006, 07:36 AM

These are really, really good.

Im speachless.

OMG

The best for me are the beach shots. Really awsome crispness. No crits from me.

**Norwin** · October 9th, 2006, 07:45 AM

I'm happy you like them.

I didn't use a special background. Through the lighting and my zoom-lense the background became dark.

(the distance from the glass to the background was about 2-3 meter)

camera settings:
1/1000s (later I went to 1/1500... 1/4000 is the best but there was not enough light for this setting...)
F/8
ISO 400
50-200mm zoom lense (I used a tripod like 2 meters far away from the glass)
trials: ~50

Just try it. You will see what the right settings are.

**Apfe** · October 9th, 2006, 08:02 AM

wow, your newest photos are great too, Insane!
I have always wanted to try that myself, and I have been experimenting with it aswell. Even though I haven't come up with anything worth showing yet. I envy you, how you get the background that dark, that has been a problem for me.. do you use an artificial light source, or just the sun?

and btw, which one of your lenses did you use, taking the photos at the beach?

hey there! wonderful photos, norwin! that first photo has such a lovely dreamy feel to it. amazing. the little wave is very well done, too. and the wineglass serie is technically flawless and very tasteful. although the "filmstrip" (no. 8) is a little confusing because it's the "wrong" order, but you probably did that on purpose... so impressed here, great job, mr. schmidt!

Wondeful, just wonderful. Post more.

Hugs!

i am sure the last batch looks really cool on your computer. But the compression really ruins things.
The best way to keep your image alive, is if you were to upload it in the PNG format.
Last image looks swell btw.

Oh... didn't recognize that. (And I can't see the compression at all but I will try it with PNG).
Thanks for that advise!

**drgutman** · October 11th, 2006, 07:38 AM

well ... you sure do some good stuff ... i love the last image ... tho, i'm not verry sure if it's better B/W or color ... anyway ... great stuff you have here .. can't wait to see more

**Morbid** · October 15th, 2006, 02:26 PM

Great image! It looks as if the spider web is bending the straw. :p

**eazym** · October 15th, 2006, 10:45 PM

Nice shots, man. I have to sa that although I like the concept behind 9, Unless I'm imagining, the photomanipulation isn't really seamless. The ones that follow are beautful, 10 looks like a charcoal rendering. The whear is nice, too, but what's up with everyone writing on their photos these days?

**Le Gab** · October 16th, 2006, 03:44 AM

Wheat is neat!

Very nice.

**Norwin** · October 16th, 2006, 01:01 PM

cool pics Norwin I love your pumpkin but my only complaint is the text it reads. Green aga inst yellow you put to much space between the letters so it looks broken up

**claudeEGYPT** · October 17th, 2006, 12:42 PM

I dont like "Source of light" text i mean come on.. we all know its a source of light!
Pumpkin and white against green are very very well done and presented.. i agree about the spaces thing though its a bit too noticeable.

I really like your treatment with HDR. It is very dificult to keep HDRs from being garish. But, yours look believable, cheers to that.

**claudeEGYPT** · October 19th, 2006, 05:10 PM

I love 24 the most of this last lot.

**samsite999** · October 19th, 2006, 05:49 PM
