Trying something new

Very cool! The vignetting is the result of PP right?

 

[tait]

Yeah they are, but i'm interested in getting an old Polaroid camera that can recreate those affects (vignetting, dusty/filmy).

interesting move nowadays. 👍

 

[Jondot]

Beautiful shots! That mini is gorgeous vladimir 👍

Damn vad, nice shot. i like the composition, and im not usually one for filters but it works 👍

i had to check out fioana tan's art gallery at york. all i can say is i hate art galleries now. none of her pieces were fantastic, and alot of it seemed.. pointless. anyways, i had my camera with me so i took it upon myself to make the best of things. turns out i got a bunch of great shots.

Those are pretty cool. I like the ones that are kind of abstract, near the beginning.

 

[Vonie]

Great lighting on those, ah.

 

[vladimir]

interesting pictures antihero.👍


i've payed the old IG-farben building a visit today. although it was built before the nazis took over power, its often seen as a typical example of nazi architecture. monstruous and serious without any fancy stuff. the so called "neue sachlichkeit". back then one of the largest office buildings in the world and base of IG farben, one of the companys that made profit from the holocaust, its now part of the goethe university. i would have needed a suitable lense to get the whole thing on one picture...

about one third of it:








and a self portrait in front of it...

 

[CDailey]

You look strangely similar to Chris Pontius.

Cool pics man ! Shot 4 is teh awesome. If you had a deviantart account, I'd for sure fave that sucker.

 

[tait]

Loven' number 4

 

[emad]

I'm with AH - #4 is amazing

btw, i'm always up for a shoot... I just need an excuse to set aside the time. If you have any suggestions for a place to hit, I'd love to hear 'em. My film camera has waaay too much dust on it and it's high time I pulled it out

 

[Chaos Fire]

Well, I kinda experimented with my mom's camera and jsut judging from this close up I wish I bought it when I had the money.

 

[35mm]

Wow. Amazing shots since my last visit.
ITR, antihero and vladimir: 👍👍👍

Especially antihero. Incredible how you make such wonderful photography out of... nothing! I simply love that abstract stuff of yours.

 

[GilesGuthrie]

Wow, Antihero. Your shots 3, 4, 5 & 6 have such brilliant focus and metering. You should be proud.

What's up guys. Haven't been on in awhile. Here's a pic I took at my parents. Now that I'm in Florida now I hope to get a lot of really nice shots.

Here's the original pic.

Then I took it again without moving the camera, but I waited for a car to come by. Then I did a little editing with PS.

Wow, thanks for all the awesome comments guys. I really appreciate it, e-beers for everyone

Speedy that's a crazy edit The rays of light shining out look sweet.

 

[cardude2004]

Whoa, that headlight one is neat, speedy!

That's cool. Did you try any with a rear-curtain flash on them to pick the car out at the end of the exposure? Would take some good timing, but in a residential area like that you should be able to make some reasonable assumptions regarding the amount of time that the vehicle is in shot.

Actually, it's two cars in the pic. I Heard a car coming over the hill. With a long exposure. But, when the car was about halfway through the frame a second car crested the hill with it's bright lights on. That's why you see the large flare back there. I'll have to try it again when I'm over there.

Took out my school's Rebel XT and shot a staircase there while i was waiting for our basketball game to start:

its just a quick shot i took with the kit lense, standing on a rail...

 

[GilesGuthrie]

It's a good shot. 👍

I would say that you need to watch out for the thing that always gets me: your steps are not parallel with the bottom of the frame, so you haven't framed the shot quite perfectly.

Sometimes you can rotate the shot in post-production, but the few degrees necessary always seems to cost you a little in sharpness.

Oh, and I'm probably going to buy a Digital Rebel XT (named "350d" here in the UK) in the next week or so.

 

[CDailey]

That would be an awesome purchase, GG! I've got the dRebel (300d) and I love it.

Good to see you here in the photography thread, too.

Well, it is done. I have ordered the Canon EOS 350d with 18-55mm lens kit, plus a 4GB compact flash card. Surprisingly, the whole lot was cheapest for me from Amazon, where I get a referral discount.

 

[CDailey]

Very cool! 👍 Can't wait to see some shots from you.

I wasn't even paying attention to the stairs. Next time i'll make sure i look for things like that.

Yeah, the 350D is a great camera. Too bad i can't afford one for myself.

[suzq044]

whoa.. the tree one is cool .. here's a couple i took.

 

[GilesGuthrie]

antihero, you've got a real talent there. And suzq044 I'm loving the night shot.

My 350d arrived yesterday. Loving it already. Here's one of the several I took of my daughter. It's been resized to fit in ImageShack's quotas, but is otherwise unedited. She'll need to have her face digitally cleaned before I print it!
