Tommy L Posted January 22, 2008 Author Share Posted January 22, 2008 Well Im not sure. I came across a site a while ago that had some stunning photography and I dont remember there being any credits for any of it. It was all medium-high res and downloadable. The info had been stripped from the images (camera stats), Ill try and find the site again. I must admit, I dont know how the hell they got that shot either. Its beautiful. Its got no grain (low iso), fast exposure and no DOF (but it must be wide aperture). Its like a total oxymoron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Thomas Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 Good luck with the project Tommy! FYI I just did a quick search on flickr on a hunch and the photograph was taken by Alexandra Kayir from Denver, CO. Perhaps if you post a comment/question on her flickr site she may be able to tell you more about your camera queries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claudio Branch Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Well I dont know how much time. Its going to be my own time, so it depends how late I have to stay at work and how many friends have birthdays and how much the missus wants me to be looking at her and not a screen. I think It'll take around a month before I get happy with it. How is your project coming along Tommy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy L Posted March 27, 2008 Author Share Posted March 27, 2008 Hey Claudio, Im afraid its very much on the back-burner. Even when my current workload subsides I've another portfolio image I want to tackle before this one... Shame though, Its a beautiful photo and I will one day come back to it. Oh, and someone gave me the contact details for the photograp[her. I got in touch but there was no reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudio Branch Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I was looking forward to seeing your WIP on this one...another time perhaps. In the end though, a healthy backlog is a desirable problem... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SandmanNinja Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Judging by the other photos in her gallery, I have a feeling it's a cheapie little camera that just happened to take a good photo. I think the website (Flicker?) strips the exif info when the image gets uploaded and converted into a binary image in the site's database. So there's probably no way to get the original camera info. Maybe a mobile phone camera or something similar?? Those tend to be somewhat wide angle - 28mm to 35mm. Of course, a digital zoom would skew the appearance, too. And we don't know how far away the camera was from the main elements. I suspect all the neon lights in that Tokoyo shot helped contribute to the lighting of the shot. A slow shutter speed (like someone suggested) would result in light streaks. So, nothing slower than 1/30 - 1/15 at the slowest. Hopefully you'll re-visit this, mate. It would be an intense scene!
