MiniMike Posted February 6, 2012 Report Posted February 6, 2012 This set is from the GoPro. I'll try to get to the DSLR later in the week. Mike MiniMike and TAZ! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted February 6, 2012 Author Report Posted February 6, 2012 Mike, Those are really cool. Does the gopro have a fish eye lens? I love how you played with the colors. What are you using for post processing? Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
MiniMike Posted February 6, 2012 Report Posted February 6, 2012 Ali, It's not considered a fisheye as much as a wide angle though there is some distortion on the corners. The post was done in a couple of places. Initial color and exposure correction was done in Aperture (I'm a Mac nut) then some color effects/filters were done in FX Photo Studio Pro. Things I didn't use on these but really like and would recommend without hesitation: Photoshop along with most Adobe products gives me hives (though I do use it from sometimes). If I want to work in layers, I go to Pixelmator. Nik Color Efex, Silver Efex and Viveza (really love this one) are my go tos for really serious post. Thanks for the complement. I have some non-MINI stuff on 500px if you are interested --including some HDR stuff and I use Photomatix Pro for that. Mike, Those are really cool. Does the gopro have a fish eye lens?

Photoshop has me confused amd I use OnOne Photo Studio. I really would like a good HDR tool. I looked at your work, it's impressive! I really love a bold use of color Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
TATTRAT Posted February 7, 2012 Report Posted February 7, 2012 I really would like a good HDR tool. Isn't that what the camera is for? it's a simple enough technique, and you can use lightroom to just stack the three exposures. flickr
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Posted February 7, 2012 Isn't that what the camera is for? it's a simple enough technique, and you can use lightroom to just stack the three exposures. How does Lightroom stack images? I'll have to google that. I've tried Photoshops HDR but it is not impressive. Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
TATTRAT Posted February 7, 2012 Report Posted February 7, 2012 How does Lightroom stack images? I'll have to google that. I've tried Photoshops HDR but it is not impressive. You just right click img, and it brings up the options flickr
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted February 7, 2012 Author Report Posted February 7, 2012 Thanks Jono, I'll try that! Something new and fun to do. But first, must do homework. Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
MiniMike Posted February 7, 2012 Report Posted February 7, 2012 (edited) This video is for the folks who were interested in the Dashcommand in my car. The system is comprised of an iPad 2, PLX KIWI WIFI and the Dashcommand app. Shot with my GoPro Hero 2 HD. The bonus coverage has the GoPro mounted to the tow hook. :motor: Edited February 7, 2012 by Edge Converted YouTube link into embedded video MiniMike and TAZ! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]

Edge Posted February 7, 2012 Report Posted February 7, 2012 Interesting video - there's a lot going on with that Dashcommand app! Thanks for sharing. No criticism on Adele... she's an amazing talent. I took more issue with the Foster The People song (I HATE that song with a passion... makes me want to jab pencils in my ears... thank God for mute!). Mike, could you please post the long link?

MiniMike Posted February 8, 2012 Report Posted February 8, 2012 (edited) Green Cactus, Here is the link to the mount. I really like it. I prototyped my own (non-suction cup based) mount but this thing is bullet proof! "Mike - what mount do you have for your ipad? I've been looking for one of those."

TATTRAT Posted February 8, 2012 Report Posted February 8, 2012 Damn, it's illegal to drive and not be hands free nowadays, let alone having what looks like a order window hanging in the left. . .I guess I am just missing what it does? If it is for photos and stuff, I guess I just don't see the advantage as the stuff above is really noisy, and over saturated, imo. :dontknow: flickr
