Lookin over at NASOIC and FUCK those guys take some insane pictures and then mess with them in hd or some shit? can someone explain this to me and how expenisve the camera is? Its something thats very interesting to me. this is a pic for example

It is when you have more pixels and the pixels are smaller. Think of it as you drawing a picture with dots. You make the picture have about 520 big dots and then you make the same picture with 12000 small dots. Which one looks better?

so say a 12mp camera be considered hd?

[87stang_5.0]

Yea, I am pretty sure it can. I am more keen on video cameras though. But about the price are you looking for a dslr camera or just a point and shoot.

[93hatch]

whats a dslr camera?

[87stang_5.0]

dslr stands for digital singe lens reflex. They have a mirror that reflects on to a ccd to make a clear image. They are the cameras that you see photographers use that have the big lenses.

oohhhh i think thats a lil over my head, id prob be better off with a very clear point and click

Here would be an excellent camera for a point and shoot. Samsung NV24HD: Digital Photography Review

excellent - was thining of asking for camera advice myself. that's a damn nice pic!

[AnimalCrackers]

I really like my Nikon Coolpix S550. It gets the job done, small, great clarity, can video record as well. Most of the editing stuff they do on those photos is through photoshop work.

fuck yeah it is! suby ftw

[ItaliStang]

the pic you posted looks like that because of HDR, not entirely because of the type of camera

it's a technique used to make photos more realistic lighting and sometimes can make things seem fantasy or "video game"-ish look...

basically you take multiple photos at different exposures and combine them all...look it up, cause I'm, not gonna try and explain it all...lol

even the high dollar cameras won't take shots like that automatically... so really, you can't just hit the shutter and come up with a pic like that... you have to plan it and use an HDR program

+1
just because a camera has 12mp doesnt mean it can take pics like that
you need a certain software that allows you to put the images together
hdr stands for high dynamic range
you take three pictures of the same image
one underexposed
one normal
and the last over exposed
idk how exactly it works but there are a couple of guys on here that can do it
emay and opal are two of them

[ItaliStang]

here's some examples of HDR...

[tayboo24]

thats pretty cool - i knew it needed computer tweaking, but i didn't know much else.

that yellow termi looks sick

[87stang_5.0]

Its also about shutter speed what kind of flashes angle and a lot of other stuff not just computer tweeking
