I'm by no means any authority here. But if you want people's opinions before you release the photo's, of course I'd be willing to help, I'm sure some others like gc83uk or jjjjrs wouldn't mind helping too and take a look at the photo's before you post them on the forums. Anyway, good luck ! -

Arashi,hellouser,greatjob,one...
I will try,not to disappoint you all with photographs...
will call professional photographer for the cases to be documented .
This sunday i am calling the patient mr joshi..and his pics will be taken by professional photographer.
But before i post them..i want to first mail it to arashi...
if he is fine with it..i will post on the forum..if not..we will try and take the pics again...
I have taken a printout of hellouser guide..and will hand that over to the photographer.
I have few more patients of nw7..will mail arashi today...once the cases are selected..than i will take better pics of these cases too.
Arashi,do you remeber one nw7 case of an indian from malaysia...whose majority of donor was removed as apart of doubling procedure...he has better donor than before after 5 months of first session...
He was in mumbai this week,i took his pics..will mail you.
Also ask Tom and Dr Mwamba,to post tom's pics..which were taken 3/4 days before..wherein, tom mailed me that his donor looks as dense as before,with no white dot mark...and his recipient is looking good too....
Just recieved a mail from dr mwamba..
we should be able to finalize our contract at san fransisco,this october.
Recieved a call from president of ISHRS dr carlos puig, yesterday,he has put me in contact with the chairman of fue research committe..dr mohibe..regarding my doubling and scarless fue work.
Dr carlos invited me to present my paper at florida,april 2014 in live surgery workshop conference of ishrs.
Hope to meet the big boss,the stalwart, spencer too at the san fransiso,ishrs meeting.
Arashi,you all can select few cases for patch test of doubling, at mwamba's clinic at brussels,
specially yourself...or anyone with great documentation skills.
I will arrange with dr mwamba the same.
That 1100D is basically the Rebel T4i. Its more than capable if used properly.
A few days ago I took some photographs (500 actually, lol) of shoes for an online store. I used a Canon T3i, one generation older than Nigams 1100D. Here's a colour corrected image (grey background was knocked out in order to isolate the image to the shoe)
Once the image has loaded, click on it as it will resize to fit to screen. View it in its entirety. It's been compressed from RAW to JPEG twice, once exported from Lightroom to JPEG at 100% JPEG compression and then again in Photoshop via 'Save For Web' at 60%. Don't worry, there isn't much loss. Only did this to prove a point. Image resolution is 18megapixels.
Settings used for photo are:
Lens used: Canon 24-105mm f/4L
Focal Length: 70mm
ISO 200
1/250th Shutter Speed
Aperture: F/13
Studio Setup: http://i43.tinypic.com/b93f5.jpg
^in this photo my Canon 50D is mounted, but at f/13 a lot of dust was noticeable from my sensor, thus I had to use a Canon Rebel T3i (backup camera).
IMPORTANT:
If anyone read my photography guide, I pointed out that the higher the f stop value (f/13 for example is much higher than f/2.8) the more of the subject is in focus. But notice that in the image the front of the show is clearly in focus but as you look further back at the shoe, the more blurry it gets. This is called 'bokeh'. I could have used a higher aperture, for example f/16 or f/22 but image sharpness actually degrades. So basically, there will always be some degree of the subject going out of focus beyond the focus point (both before and after).
If you guys look at Thane's photographs, they QUICKLY blur out further down his head with a view from above. Therefor, a higher f-stop is required but at the same time a LOT more light is needed. Essentially, with every full stop you need twice as much light. Full f-stop increments are as follows:
f/2, f/2.8, f/4, f/5.6, f/8, f/11, f/16, f/22
With each increment, in order to achieve the same exposure level, (a bright enough photograph) either the shutter speed or ISO speed needs to be compensated by 2X the amount.
Thus a photograph taken at:
f/4
ISO 200
1/160th shutter speed
is the same as
f/5.6
ISO 400
1/160th shutter speed
and also the same as
f/4
ISO 200
1/80th
Another run down:
f-stop controls how much light passes through the lens
ISO controls how sensitive the sensor is to light
shutter speed controls how LONG light passes through the lensLeave a comment:

And this was the last I said about that, I'm getting really tired discussing this, lol. Nigams can read here what people think. He should use his brain and make a wise decision on how to document the case. But if you want to prove that you've cured hairloss with some photo's, I'd make damn sure they were as convincing as possible.Leave a comment:

Agreed about that training part. But man, I don't get it. If you would have solved hairloss and you would want to convince the world, would you shoot the photo's yourself with a $300 DSLR cam ? Like I said, even if I had the best cam in the world, I'd want the photo's to be stellar and I'd hire the best photographer in the city, to get it right.Leave a comment:

I think the pictures of Thane are fine. I know some want like ultra-professional or macro photos, which would be nice, but as far as I'm concerned the thane pics are fine. Although Dr. Nigam should definitely higher a full time photographer or send one of his staff to training and set up a dedicated studio like most of the big name clinics have.Leave a comment:

They could be better. This one is the best: http://www.drnigams.net/images/Thane/thane4.JPG
But this one for example is horrible: http://www.drnigams.net/images/Thane/thane2.JPG
He shot those with the canon 1000D according to the photo header. I guess if he just takes a zillion photo's some hopefully will be good enough. But still man ... just get a professional to do it. Really.Leave a comment:

Were the Thane pics satisfactory?

Arashi I did not understand why nigam does not want to hire a photographer.
In other words, pictures and video are the most important thing for the world to understand what she is doing. Certainly not enough to write two words, like, "hey guys, I beat baldness", because people will be convinced.
So, hire a photographer, explain to him how to take pictures (show cases Koray, Hasson, Rahal) at least for these first cases is crucial.
We are really tired of this whole picture, I really do not talk about it.Leave a comment:

I guess it's possible to take good photo's with such a cheap DSLR. But you really need to know what you're doing (like hellouser explained). Any prof photographer knows that stuff, but people without indepth photography knowledge won't. Look at the pictures he's posted for Tom for example. Would you call those good ? I'd say they were quite horrible.
I just hope he listens to reason and gets a professional do it. I think it's stupid to even try to do this yourself. If I wanted to show the world that I'd cured hairloss, I wouldn't even consider shooting the pics myself, even if I had the best camera in the world. What's $100-$150 to hire a professional when you've cured hairloss and are about to make a fortune ?Leave a comment:

He should be able to take good pictures with that camera, although history has shown us otherwise. I could take good enough pictures with my Iphone 5, I'm really not sure why it is so difficult to do so with a DSLR. Sure it's a cheap DSLR but I have shot great pictures with much much worse.Leave a comment:
