Post your DSi pics

[c0ldb33r]

Here is a thread to post some pictures that you take with your Nintendo DSi. If you've got any hints on taking great pics, please post 'em. Here are pics from random stuff around my house. It's mythbusters on the TV btw.

Two cameras = zomg stereosexscopic imageries?!

Ugh, lighting in my game room isn't all that great, so these are kind of fuzzy. But, here's to randomness.



And the rest:

Hey coldb33r. Take this picture again and edit it so we can see how the image software works. Make the breasts bigger.

use some more light guys, alot like cell phone cams (except I think the one I own has more MP than the DS camera ).

Here's a comparison of my DSi versus my camera. Since the DSi has no flash, I turned it off on the camera. DSi is on the left and my camera is on the right.







The lesson I did learn is that my camera sucks with the flash off.

the DSi looks so grainy, that could be of course because of the lighting. You might need to have a little spot-light for your DSi camera. But what is the point of the camera? Did it lose the novelty already? And where is the "stretch" picture u were supposed to do???

Good lord

Thing is...that's before he messed with the stretching features of the DSi...poor wide-headed bastard

Actually the image quality on your camera is still pretty clearly superior when you look at them side-by-side in fullsize. Very nice actually. It sounds like you're not used to shooting without a flash, but without it you usually need to tweak the white balance setting on your camera to compensate for the different types of light.

For completely indoor lighting, which is what appears to be the case there, the "Tungsten" setting is usually best. Try that and the results should turn out much better. I know the DSi just came out and it's neat and all, but you've still got a nice camera there.

Beer's camera.

More pixels than the "quality" camera (from 2002) I often used, and a Canon to boot. Not quite prosumer but not terrible, being only half a year old.

There's a big preview screen so you could try doing what I do on my old Sony F707: Find that white balance button and tap it until it looks right onscreen. Of course, you don't have to process the white balance in the camera - you could always process it outside of the camera later.

Also, try shooting in RAW sometime. Is that pic straight out of your camera? I imagine you'd be able to take tons of pics even as RAW if they're set to only that size.

The main reason for shooting in RAW is so that you can tweak the white balance non-destructively after you've taken the photo, which AFAIK you can't do with JPEG; I mean you can always tweak the color balance in Photoshop or something similar, but that's far less-specific, and I believe it's also technically destructive.

My camera is a little older (Rebel XT), and it was a low-end DSLR to start with, so it doesn't have a digital viewfinder; it has a screen but you can only use it to see how a shot would look with white balance after you've taken it. So I've had to sort of figure out as I went along what kind of WB works best under what conditions. I shoot in RAW so I can tweak it later if I have to, but that's rare.

Generally speaking, my rule-of-thumb goes like this:

Tungsten - Most types of indoor lighting
Daylight - Direct sunlight (or Cloudy if you want the colors a bit warmer)
Auto White Balance (AWB) - Usually only use this when you're dealing with a mixture of indoor and outdoor lighting

Is it a hassle? Maybe if you're used to shooting everything in auto-everything. But especially if you're shooting in JPEG, it's well worth it to get it right the first time, and just having to change this one option is a relatively simple way to do it, and it makes a huge difference.

Hey you stay away from my EXIF data you bastard.

To be honest, I have no real idea how to use my camera. I set it to auto and turn the flash on and off when needed. My most advanced knowledge of this camera is how to turn macro mode on and off.

Instead of this one I was going to get an entry level DSLR and then realized that I can barely use a conventional digital camera and wouldn't benefit from anything more complicated.

He should find a burn ward soon.
