I thought long and hard on what to do for this... I came up with this because it shows change pretty well...

The first photo has no editing done to it and the second is the same photo with editing! I hope you like it!

Nikon D40
Nikkor f/1.8 lens
f/10
shutter 1/400
ISO 200


Thanks a ton!

2.




Olympus E-1 with Panasonic 14-50mm
ISO: 100
Aperture: f7.1
Shutter Speed: 1/5s (first picture); 10s (second picture)
Post Processing done in Adobe ACR.


Technically speaking, the shutter speed is the only thing that has been changed between the two shots.

Here's how I interpret them: The second picture represents life, which is compounded from countless individual moments (for example: the first picture). No matter how good a moment is, it goes blurry and loses colors with time.

Free feel to let me know what you think.

Happy holidays!

Best Regards,
Tony

I "Changed" The color to Green & White. Well I re edited it in Lightroom 2. Set all colors to Green / Aqua. Fixed the sharpness a bit and the lens vignetting. And removed the little lamp in from the first photo. (Post Processing information)

Lens and focal length:Canon EF-S 17-85mm f4-5.6 IS USM @ 17mm

Both photos were taken from the same place about the same time of day, around 4pm. But that's where the similarities end and a game of "spot the difference" begins.


6 July 2004, Canon IXUS 500, 22.2mm, 1/200s, f/13, ISO unknown


26 Dec. 2008, Sony A350 + CZ16-80, 80mm, 1/160s, f/5.6, ISO100

Four and a half years is quite a while. This is the view of Plymouth, looking towards the actual centre region with the sea beyond. The skyline has certainly changed with many new buildings. Combined with that, the very different lighting also changes the feel a lot too.

Both images are 2 shot panoramas, rotation corrected to 0.1 degrees of horizontal, resize and crop to give same display size and area. No other PP applied.

Here's my entry for this month's On Assignment, a little late, but in time. Since I have no chance of taking a portrait of Obama, I though I'd take a picture of this camera, to show the change cameras have undergone in the years. This is an old Ensign camera which takes huge films (a lot larger than 35mm). My mom bought it for €7,50 on a market...



Camera Model: Sony DSLR-A700
Lens and focal length: Sony 70-200mm f/2.8 G SSM @ 70mm
Aperture: f/2.8
Shutter Speed: 1/125th
Sensitivity: ISO 200
Post processing: lots of it, levels, curves, saturation, cloning, spot healing. Too much to list...
