SnusOn Art

[sgreger1]

Good God Heeders, that is art if i've ever seen it. I am thoroughly impressed. I would assume you were a professional photographer! You shot this with the kit lens? I beg you to tell me how you have mastered this ability to get shots like this. How does one go about getting a shot like this one?

How much (if any) post processing was done on these photos? The one I referenced above must have at least been an HDR photo, there's no way you got that straight off the camera. What is your secret to getting such rich colors? Is it the exposure, the lens, the fspot settings? I want to know how to shoot like that!



Edit: ... I just saw the last two sets of photos you posted... now I will be forced to spend all weekend out with my camera trying to figure out how to get shots like this. They are so smooth, the aperature is perfect, the exposure is perfect, are you doing any post editing on these? You have to be, they are too perfect!

Now i'm going to start taking pictures of snus cans, that is such a great idea. I don't think the best professional could take better pictures than those snus ones you posted, especially the last one.

Oooh (sorry for the spam). Forgot to post my snus pictures:









NOW I'm done... (for now)

Ah, what the hell. Here you have 4 more (I can only post 4 pictures per post):

I have a lot of older photos I'm proud of, but sadly, I have the basic version of Flickr, and they only let you have 200 images up at a time, so until you pay for the Pro version, the older photos are hidden.

Have to start photographing more btw... was a long time since I did it. Too long.

Here are a few more of my photos:

Fyi for anyone who wants to help out pris, his company name is "wood.mj" and his trademark is "Cut price DVDs".
(Pris, let me know if you don't want this to be public for some reason, but no publicity is bad publicity!)

This is the default ebay logo that needs replacing that is currently on his site:








Here's what I got so far, they are pretty simple but this is all I can accomplish while i'm at work.

You wouldn't happen to have that woods shot in a larger size, would you heders? That would make a great desktop.

Yes, of course! Here you have a very large version:

Agreed and excellent shot and idea!

Thanks a lot man!

@ Heders,

WOW! Those are amazing! I strive to be able to take shots that good one day, the color and exposure are perfect on them. I am absolutely jealous. I just got my first camera in December or thereabouts so I am still learning. Great photos though! Keep posting them!

Edit: What camera/lens combo are you using?

All I have is a Cannon T3i with the kit lens. I'd like to get a better lens but they are so damn expensive.

Thanks a lot sgreger! I use a Nikon D80, and the lenses I have are the original Nikkor 18-55mm f/3,5-5,6 and a 50mm f/1.8 (killer lense, and extremely cheap). They have 50mm f/1.8 for Canon as well. They cost around $120 (not 100% sure about the currency, but it's very cheap). You get amazing depth of field and splendid quality. My favorite lens for sure. These pictures here are all taken with the original kit lens though.

Really nice photos of you too I've got to say! Keep it up!

Nice FOOD shots.. back in the day I did a lot of graphic work with new restaurants. Those are just as good or even better then the photographer I was working with. B/W is my favorite for photography and duotones. For me there is more substance, emotion etc.. when you strip the image to basics and rely on form/contrast. It makes me jealous because I would like to get out and do some stuff but after a day of product work I am just burnt on picking up a camera.

Yah i'm a foodie so whenever the wife or someone cooks something that looks good I always snap a few shots. (You will notice these are all taken at my dinner table lol).

I love B&W too and am just getting into it. There's just something about it that is magic, it lets you forget the color and really focus on the details of the image, I don't know what it is but if done right it is often times better than color.


Edit; I havn't found a career yet so my family is always like, maybe do graphic design or something! I am like, "If I had to slave away doing that all day it would ruin the fun of my hobby!" lolol.
