great shots, i assume the camera is good, the water looks near perfect. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|

||||||||

#1 -8/10 #2 - dont like to scarey, do like the roman face #3 - same as #2, but with more detail #4 - same as #2, but showing whole fountain #5 - needs improvement on the focus maybe |
||||||||

Those are actually pretty cool : ) It makes me feel like I am not sitting in a cubical typing all day lol. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
that is one freaky fuckin' fountain'... honestly... i think if i saw that as a child i would be traumatized... way to capture all the tiny detail and the droplets are quite nice in the first one... shame about the sky really... it makes that last pic seem a lot less balanced than it could have been otherwise... |

thansk, there's always tomorrow |

shot in jpg (eww) at higher ISO (double eww) and handheld and i was on lunch break. I hope to get some better ones (maybe to print out or for backgrounds) this weekend, |

Technically it's okay if the weather was really overcast. Is this an aesthetic thing or technical? If it's digital you need to play around quite a bit in photoshop or if it's old school dark room style, your work is really cut out with these straight prints. I'd wait for better conditions or find something other than a still water shot for the subject. |

Beautiful, I love it. And I LIKE the sky, adds a bit more foreboding atmosphere to it. Those little ''cherubs'' look absolutely evil. When was that fountain built? The water looks great, frozen in time. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
gotta say 1 is my fave, as ophecks said, the sky is key in that one |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
that first one is cool. the last one is ruined because the sky and water are nearly the same tone, so the effect is non existent. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i like em, although im not a fan of pics with water falling and such taken with a small shutter time (is that correct? when it looks like the water isnt moving). i like it when it looks more dynamic. anyway, 1 is really ace, you should try shooting some when the sky's clear blue |
||||||||

I enjoy the photos.. especially #1.. nice work. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
#1is really good, would have been better with blue sky or more light though |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the sky was shit, and i was on my lunch break so i was just shootin with shitty overcast, shitty lighting, shitty weather...but ill be back there soon when the weathers nice, cause that fountain has a lot of potential. and too much photoshopping = bleh. photoshopping pics is like cheating |
||||||||

nice camera, you seem to be well equipped |
||||||||
|

eh, the canon rebel really has it's limitatios ... but it's my first step into the SLR world...selling that soon for a canon 20D, as it seems to be really proving itself; especially for the price. glass is so fukggin expensive :/ |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I really think that it turned out great. There is a mood here that is being represented. I love it. Damn your cam gives wonderful quality. I would like to see these in various times of the day. Night seems like it would be great especially with moon light! Wonderful pics! Thanks for sharing! |

Canon has a nice EF-S 10-22mm lens coming. Finally a really wide lens for 1.6x FOV-crop cameras. Should be around 16mm on the EF-S models (300D and 20D). I just hope it will be sharp enough. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
pfft, canon. i recently acquired a Nikon D70. now thats a camera. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yaeh that 10-22 is lookin' aight. still can't believe the 20D isa 1.6x but oh well : / |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
what an evil fountain! |

russian glass finally came in today, only took 4 weeks but well worth it. |

Do you or have you ever taken photography classes? Or is this just a hobby? Those pictures are sure clear! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
hobby, albeit expensive one : / |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it doesn't have to be expensive, you have chosen it to be expensive. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Eh....ok, if you say so. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hey if you go meet nigel in chicago take pics! I will try to make it! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
why should photography be expensive? sounds like a rather snobbish attitude you have if you think that |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Well if you want better equipment it becomes expensive. I myself (if i had the money) would find this to be a fun hobby but i rather use what he uses as opposed to a disposable camera. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
better than what? when does something become expensive? what does expensive mean? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Umm, aparently you don't know the first thing about digital photography. Good glass, is very expensive. How about you ask questions about why it is expensive, instead of calling me snobbish. Sheesh, you don't know how to go about things very well, do you. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|

example a used 1977 black and white television would be cheaper than a 2004 flat screen HDTV. The difference is in the quality of the picture. The items that utilize newer technology cost more money making it more expensive. Same with the camera and lenses. More expensive camera use newer technology and can do things that cheaper cameras cannot. Or basically cant achieve the same standards as a higher value technologically advanced camera. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
whatever, you dont need all that shit to take decent digital photos. I have a 5 megapixel camera that cost me $400, and a few expensive memory cards and thats about it. $650 total prolly. Anyone who spends any more than that is a sucker, imo. |
||||||||

yet another pointless argument with elusive which degenerates into insistance of correctness without wavering and repetition of previous point whilst being defensive and ignoring what anyone else says. and you wonder why people think you're an arsehole? it's because you ARE an arsehole. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Ok, sorry about that.don't mean to get defensive. Glass (lens, etc.) costs a great deal of money. Not only is focal length important, but almost more importantly is the aperature or widest f-stop. I don't have time to turn this into a discussion on prices. When it comes to cameras, well that's a whole nother story. |

weatheredstoner, you cannot get the pics I can with a f/1.4 lens and a SLR camera. Not to mention the camera i'm getting is 8MP (p.s., mega pixel means nothing in terms of quality.) and it does 5 frames per second. Five 8MP pictures in 1 second. Can your camera do that? Not to mention the interchangable lenses (which is most important feature) because there are certain lenses for each type of application. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Weathered, your 5MP camera has more noise than other 5MP camears, and less than others. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so far as i can ascertain, to you the most important aspect of your hobby is not the enjoyment of taking the picture, not the enjoyment of looking at your own art, but that people giving you recognition for something which looks good just because you used a camera that is, to you expensive, whatever that means. expensive is a relative term and thus in this circumstance is meaningless. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
For starters, who the hell wants to take 5 8MP in a second. Absolutely frivilous. Maybe you can tell a difference in detail, but because the amount would be so insignificant that it doesnt matter because no one would even care. I dont need different lenses anyways, my camera has options to customize depending on the setting anyways. |
