Same camera as me. Good stuff!
And nice shot CG. Branch patterns when underexposed like that usually look cool.

love that rebel XT :-[
what lenses do you have for it?
What's a good camera?
Duckman, are those your kids? They're really blonde.
That's cute they're still innoncent enough to hold hands.
Goddamn Jojo, learn to resize your pictures!Those are resized! The images are originally 8mp.
Your pictures are giving me a headache, they're way too zoomed in :(
Your shots make me want to go out and do night shots, jiji. I love the first one. The night shots were handheld?
I just fear, well in my area, I'll get mugged with the quickness :lol

Candids? That's what short primes are for. :D Be brave with that 24mm - they'll think you're taking pictures of something behind them!
Wow, awesome pics in this thread.(http://www.capitaltrachea.se/photos/spring/pipes.jpg)
Is this taken in Sweden by any chance?
I feel pathetic for following up a picture of Maji's hot wife with cat pics but here they are!

Testing out angles. I really need to work on lighting. Camera flashes seem to be waaayyyy to harsh. Natural lighting is nice, but w/ out it you have to dink around w/ lights around the area or use a nasty harsh flash. :(
any suggestions on lighting/flash/etc?

What camera are you using? The white balance is off in those, and the shutter speed seems too long. You probably need a lens with a bigger aperture
I haven't looked at them yet but I also took some Fireworks shots (handheld this time, last year I used a Tripod). I was also shooting at around 1/30. Try to get a good shot of some fireworks feels like a magical technique or something. It seems like you need to time around after the blast, lest your picture of it will be overexposed where it exploded. Also, longer exposures tend to give you that dramatic trail effect from the rockets where a quicker exposure won't look as nice.
Ken Rockwell's writeups are fantastic and it led me to www.onexposure.net which fired up my interest in Landscape photography. Man, so many people on another level, I need to level up. Time to grind my photog skill.
Ken Rockwell's articles led me to buy a D40 when I knew little about photography, and I've regretted the decision ever since, thanks to the camera's poor compatibility with older lenses (and other random nerfing). Everything he says should be taken with a tablespoonful of salt.
Nice pics, Mupepe. Love the one of the Sunset and Skyline.Thanks, man. I LOVE these ones. The lighting is perfect.
Here are some I took yesterday morning...

This thread makes me really want to get into photography. I did my first real editing in photoshop today. Basically I made the photo look like it was taken in the 1950's. Incredibly basic, but it's a start.
Anyone know of any good photoshop tutorials on the web? I can't really buy any books at the moment, so I'd love something web based. And I'm sure I'll be coming to you guys for camera recommendations in the next few months.
Thing is, it just so happens that I have Photoshop CS3 on my computer, but no Lightroom. So unless Lightroom is easily torrentable, I'd rather not get a new program just yet.

Niiice color (or lack thereof) and tone in those. I like the first four especially, and the one with the tree silhouettes.
Some stuff...
Fantastic pictures, cloud! I'm surprised they allowed photography of the exhibits, some places can be anal about that stuff.
So how are you dealing with all the controls on your new camera? Or is all of it not new to you? The particular pictures you posted looked like they could have been a pain in regards to the lighting.
Oh and somehow convince Jarosh to get you this lens for your new camera...
[youtube=425,350]4jqKE9Srtl4[/youtube]
:lol But seriously, if your considering getting a lens at some point in the future consider a Canon 50mm f/1.4 or 1.8 Prime Lens if your mainly into taking Portrait pictures. If you want a Longer Telephoto lens, save up for a 70-200mm f/2.8 with/without IS.
Here's a great link of some of the more known lenses and pictures examples of the quality shots they can take...
http://www.motleypixel.com/reviews/index.htm?openfolder=Canon%20Zooms/Canon%20EF-S%2010-22mm%20f3.5-4.5%20USM/
And yeah, in regards to the first 4 pictures... I've been messing with Split Toning. I have a tendency to convert pictures to B&W (I have a thing for contrast) and the Split Toning just added another layer to the fun :D

hey, thanks! sorry i missed this post.
the camera controls i'm pretty much used to by now, although i'm still a little slow and clumsy with some of the settings sometimes which can cause me to miss a shot. i do however have a good enough grasp on how everything works by now.
and yeah, the lighting was really a pain. it was super dark in there with little spotlights on a couple exhibits, and usually the quickest shutter speed i could go was 1/4. i had to hand-hold some really long exposures. somehow i managed though. flash photography was not allowed.
thanks so much for the lens info. i am not in a real hurry to get a new lens yet because i'm still not feeling all that limited by the kit lens although i know it sucks. but that seems to be my indication that i need to play around with it more, that i haven't used it enough yet. i looked into the portrait lens you mentioned and it seems great. i am going to ask for that protrait lens and a wide angle lens (since i like taking architecture and landscape pics) for xmas.

how did you do the split toning? looks awesome.

I've been trying to change my low light settings on my D40 and I think I've finally gotten it. I like the way this turned out...

Great pics. I love going to an "ordinary" place and trying to find interesting pics. Nice choices for the B&W - did you take them B&W or make them B&W later?
Excellent. Now I want a camera. :'(
Don't you have one as evidenced by a certain sweat-inducing pic?
For my birthday at the beginning of the summer I received my first DSLR -- a Canon EOS 450D (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canon_EOS_450D) (Rebel XSi, newest in the Rebel series). I'm still a photography amateur, but this camera was an amazing and easy transition for me from point-and-shoots.
It's very simple to learn and use, it isn't overly huge, comfortable to hold, and I find that Canon has an excellent variety of lenses to choose from. I still only have the kit lens, but I've taken many pictures that I like with it, everything from portraits to landscapes. It's a good all-around lens and great to learn with. The 12 MP on the camera is great too. Picture quality is super. I couldn't have asked for a better "me" camera.
It seems like anyone can pick up my camera and take good photos with it, no matter how inexperienced. But if you have a good basic knowledge of how SLRs work and how a camera captures light, you can really make your images something special. I got a book with my camera, called Exposure and Lighting: For Digital Photographers Only (http://www.amazon.com/Exposure-Lighting-Digital-Photographers-Only/dp/0470038691/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1223722914&sr=8-1) and it really helped make my photos better. I recommend it for any beginner!
Should I keep this picture in color or in black and white?

I was thinking of looking into DSLR once I get more money. And recommendations for a total beginner, Blue?
Some really beautiful photos there, Blue. I really like the 2nd and the 5th.
Blu:
First one has some very nice repetition and light. Like it.
Second one just has me for some reason, some intagible story going on there.
Also love the last one, the colours are amazing!
Only one I don't dig at all is the 5th one, don't like that kind of treatment.
Isnt the biggest difference the difference in sensor size?
BT, what kind of camera do you have?
What would you consider a good deal from this list?

Once again, flash ruined a perfectly decent photo.
(http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2583/3882253704_78256f7cf5_o.jpg)
So I should just turn off flash when I'm outside, right? Does it depend on the situation?
I tried to do night shots last night and they all turned out shit. I can't do anything with that camera like you guys in your night shots. :lol
It doesn't help that the weather has been absolute SHIT in Florida for the past week and a half. Nothing but clouds, rain, and poop.
Dude, we were so blown away, that we're not talking about them because it'll make Himuro feel bad.spoiler (click to show/hide)Then he might hit someone and never come back![close]
I've never posted any of my photographs in a thread like this before. Someone say at least one of them looks nice, please. :(
Since my budget is tight right now I went with this for a beginners camera

Thanks man :) Whats up with shots 3 and 4 though? They look hazy. I adjusted the brightness and some other light option hmmm.
i have a pretty awesome SLR (Canon Eos Kiss x3) , but i really haven't a clue how to use it properly yet. I kinda like this shot but my hit rate is about 0.00001% at this point :lol

Kick-ass subjects for B&W! That first one especially.
Do you recall if you used a red or orange filter on the first shot? Or another colour?
It came out really nice and contrasty.
Did you edit the shot?
Bebpo you play guitar?
I'm trying to learn the process of taking photos of shadows. It's really hard but rewarding.
Those shots are amazing, Blue. Fall photography is the best.
I just got a new D90! Psyched as hell! Expect pics!
I dont' know why I'm drawn to centered subjects but I've been doing it a lot recently. I find the eye travels around the subject and you tend to explore the surrounding its in.

Hey now that's an interesting point. In other words you can exploit the rule of thirds in a kind of backwards fashion.
Those shots are so clear GilloD. What Iso did you use? I don't see any grain :o
I like the colours so much.
Interesting pics and ideas BT. I almost missed what's going on in that first one!

it's aight. Just did it for the fun really.
Here's stuff from this morning. I made a commitment to go out and take some morning light shots. Its funny, every time the Sun comes over the horizon, I believe I have a game plan going. Then the soft sunlight starts illuminating dozens of interesting subjects and I start drawing a blank :lol

Tip: If you want blues in your image, compose your image so the background will be of the sky. This seems very obvious but composing a subject at such an angle isn't as common (well for me it isn't). This works very well in the morning when the direct light (from the Sun) illuminates a subject. You'll then be able to shoot your subject, have the sky in the frame and it won't be blown out (and giving you a very beautiful blue).
Another Tip: Backlight (light --> subject <--- you) is great for leaves. Being thin, the backlight brings out textures, lines and general imperfections. Its also good for giving brilliant colors to leaves.
Final Tip: I'm beginning to understand the saying "Less is more". The less cluttered your image the better the vision that originally inspired you in the first place will come through.
Agreed, awesome shot Himu.
Those are some sweet shots BT, great use of DOF, contrast, composition. In looking at them I realised the second one is different because it tells a little story (as in leaf fell out of tree and got stuck). I dunno, I found that interesting.
I love the third shot the most, blue. It's the colors that do it for me.
I kept playing with how I wanted to crop it but I felt the negative space to the left gives the image much needed depth and a feeling of isolation.
I like the setting sun, because it's just pretty.
And I like the next pic, which has a interesting composition. I also felt the need to outline some of the lines :dur
(http://i37.tinypic.com/34gu0wl.jpg)
Id go out to make pictures if It wasnt always raining when I wasnt working.
All awesome, but sweet use of depth in that last one.
I'm still wrangling the D90's excellent night shooting, but this a killer shot given the absolute lack of light (Except from the lantern) and a lack of any kind of tripod or stablizing device:

Is that a 1.4 or 1.8? How close can you get with it? I don't have a 50mm prime but I've often thought about picking up one of the cheap but awesome Canon ones.
I didn't know the 1.8 has fewer aperture blades - I'll check it out as smooth bokeh is a big plus. I'll also have a look at the Zeiss. Thanks a lot for that info.
That picture is all kinds of awesome, GilloD. Can I have a copy of the original, un-resized version? I'm gonna tweak it and use it as a wallpaper if you don't mind.
Wait, YOU ARE IN AOMORI!?!?!!?!?!?!!!?!

Nah, that's in Chongeychon in Seoul.

I have that same Zeiss. I use it with my Panasonic GF1. I loooooove it. I never thought I could get a film-like look on such a small sensor until I used that lens.
Anyway, I don't want to spam the thread, but I've been posting a lot of my photos from around NYC here:

Normally I'd pick a fave or two, but they're all frickin' awesome BT!
it's a picture of what he has airbrushed on his van
Not a ton of frames, maybe about 8-10 or so. I was at a hot springs near Mt. Fuji and could just BARELY see the outline of the mountain. Didn't have a tripod so I just kind of plopped it down on the balcony and framed as best I could. Once I ran it through the HDR software I was like "Well, shit."

Hey. I shoot shows here locally. I've only been shooting for two years and using a DSLR for a little over a year, but I've gotten managed to get a lot of very good shots. I've started a tumblr to try to showcase ones that I like as going through a flickr set (http://www.flickr.com/photos/mrphipps/sets/) can sometimes be exhausting.
I'm actually very curious to get some input if I could.

The first four look fantastic but the last two look a tad underexposed to me (but maybe allowing more light would have killed the mood you captured). Concerts and small venues always have tough lighting with lots of movement (as I'm sure you already know) so with that in mind I thinkthey came out great with what you're working with.
Blue, let's see some fall shots.
Sweet. The blog I shoot for (http://www.imposemagazine.com/photos/) just offered me the photo editor position as the old editor is moving on.
Also the New Museum has asked permission to run one of my photos in their (print) newsletter and Brooklyn Rail magazine has also asked permission to use some of my photos for their (print) magazine.
I've just recently gotten into astrophotography got my Nikon 3100 ready to trek to the mountains this weekend. Hopefully I have enough batteries if not for the camera but the equatorial mount I built out of old telescope parts. If I'm right I should get a shot of the galaxy and not just a lot of bright stars. Any tips for this sort of photography?
I am new to photography so I do not have much to share but here are a couple of my favourites:

Btw, do you guys notice that photo hosting website do slightly change the colours of the pics that you upload?
I should give that a shot. I never really deviated from med jpg because it just shows up on Flickr and Impose.If you are going to use lightroom then try shooting in RAW, the difference is very well pronounced in terms of what you can do. Very little grain and noise and the image stays crisp and sharp when trying something very extreme for example.

Haven't seen you in the GAF photo threads in a while
Here's one I took of myself recently at the launch of The Walking Dead.
(http://i114.photobucket.com/albums/n268/ScientificNinja/039.jpg)
Had us a barrel of laughs :D
Nice! What was the earlier band you were shooting? Those looked like pro shots to me.
I never took any photo classes and I've never used photoshop and don't know how to use it. It limits my photo touch-up ability. Learning that stuff is probably the next step I need to making better photos. Well, that and a tripod because I can never shoot anything straight so I have to rotate a lot of my shots in irfanview to correct the straightness and they lose sharpness when I do that, which is no fun.

I'd suggest downloading some free photo-editing software like GIMP and experiment with it a little. I think you'll benefit quite a lot from it. The 40 seconds I spent straightening the image, adjusting levels and removing the lens flare made a world of difference (I did it for fun, not to be creepy or anything...).
Can I see this version you made?
Blue, are you ever worried that when you go somewhere you will only take pics in a certain style that mightaybe have adifferent mood to the situation you were in there?
Its kinf oh hard to explain but heres an example: you havee a fun camping trip with friends that is very lighthearted but you end with very stylized pics. Do you just have two sets of pics or what?
Youre saving up for a dslr now or what? Im kind of in a tough spot since i need to buy a bike first for commuting and cany spend that cash on a camera ( also i want a bike bad)
It must be a nightmare hosting a hot Japanese foreign exchange student and not sleeping with her. At least you have the photos to jerk off to while you cry yourself to sleep.

Anyone else excited about the potential D600 announcement on the 13th?
New Full Frame Nikon for under $1500.
At least that's the rumor. I'm in for anything under $2k provided it has an in body focusing motor.
Yikes. Yeah, I'll stick with my D90 for a few more years.

You know what? This is completely absurd and unhelpful, and it's not what I signed up for. I understand you mightn't have the most positive outlook on life, but that's not a reason to drag this discussion down. Go write a blog or start another thread for all the good it'll do you. I just want to see some nice photos.

two RX100 test pics :punch
(http://www.capitaltrachea.se/photos/rx100_test.png)
I don't recognize the skyline. Where in Sweden is that?
Really dig the composition in the second to last photo, Hyoushi. Nicely balanced, great sense of the ducks being nestled within the frame. The oceanscape is great too. Awesome textures. The RX100 really is something.
First two are the best, third one is good too, last two while nice composition need some tweaking because now they look too plain. I think it's the light.
That bench and stair shot is really, really good. Makes me want a wider angle lens since I've been stuck at 50mm equivalent at the widest.
found some old scanned slides from like half a decade ago on a usb drive. medium format tlr, sleeping peeps, taken in the wee hours of the morning:

I have more somewhere, but i dunno where.
Looking to get a better compact camera than my Fuji X10 that can shoot better in low-light scenarios. Is the Sony RX100 still king of this series? I was thinking about getting the Mk. 1 model which is going down in price (~$350).
Checked out the GR and the images I see are :o :o :o
Almost double the price of the RX100 though, and looking at your previous photos in the thread it looks like you're pretty happy with that camera so I'll hop on that instead.
Yuck, show us pretty Greece. Is that an aqueduct in the last photo in the distance?
(http://www.capitaltrachea.se/photos/kavala/23.png)Picturesque Europe is best Europe.
Wow that's fantastic, mupepe. What gear are you shooting with to achieve that? I've sort of flirted with astrophotography but want to hittup an area with less light pollution.Thanks! Quite a compliment coming from you.
Hell yeah it looks like you have it down to have such a clear shot of a galaxy like that. Makes me want to suck up my inhibitions now and play around with astro.Do it! I’m happy to help if you have any questions.
Those shots are pretty great, obligatory "What camera did you use?"
Fuuuuck. Fantastic blue hour lighting in some of those. The construction worker shots lighting is killer too. Jumps off the screen.

I use a Mk1 Sony a7 as well, all those shots were taken with the Zeiss Batis 85mm f/1.8 which I got just before the trip :heart

Hmmm, I think I really like the look of 85mm on FF. Just the right amount of compression and allowable framing. I know I wouldnt be able to acheive the look of the forest path shot with my 50mm.

I was so inspired by this guy: https://www.instagram.com/masashi_wakui/ (https://www.instagram.com/masashi_wakui/) who shoots such incredible Tokyo night shots, and almost all of these are shot on an 85mm prime as well according to his comments. So that's why I decided to get this lens for night city pics.
Started shooting more people!

Love shooting moving water. Its as close to paint strokes you'll get in photography. Every frame can be different, with vastly different textures depending on shutter speeds.
hyoshi always dropping gems and evol your work is good man, the cameras will come but the craft can be attained now.
are there any iphone camera attachments that can take really good low light pics??? i have made shit i want to photograph at night around here but i'm not about dropping serious money on a camera to lug around with me the occasional times i get inspired.
fucking tripod??? nah i ain't looking to do all that.are there any iphone camera attachments that can take really good low light pics??? i have made shit i want to photograph at night around here but i'm not about dropping serious money on a camera to lug around with me the occasional times i get inspired.
Nah attachments can't really fix that. Maybe shoot at a low ISO with a tripod + long exposure and then brighten in post?

That cloudbreak shot is :rejoice
Also a fan of the one with the cigarette. The Samyang renders very nicely
diffuse the flash on your camera, stick a piece of tissue paper over the flash
Damn Hiyoushi stuff lokes really professional. Like the shots with the woman smoking the cig and the one with the lagurhuset the best.
Finally bought a new camera today, which I have been meaning to do for a year. Got a good used camera deal, from a guy who clearly didn't use it as much as he thought he would, and now just wanted to get rid. Wanted a 70d or 80d really, but ended up with 77d that is probably more the rebel line than anything, but it feels really good coming from a broken ass old rebel anyway. EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 is II usm included which is the first time I've had a lense that is pretty decent at some zooming. So yeah just been messing around fully zoomed in so far, getting used to especially the touch screen and the slightly changed layout, not actually going anywhere exciting yet. But I am excited to start taking photos again.

Lovs the shots, Hyoushi. And the gym photo is fantastic. Didnt strike me as HDR at first which is always good. Lighting is moody without being oppressive. Id love to train at such a gym.

You've done macro photography right? Thinking about getting the EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM, some guy is selling it fairly cheap close to me. Seen a lot of really cool stuff with that lense.
But then I also remember I don't use my camera nearly enough these days. Really I pretty much only use it at work, where all I do is throw it on their facebook afterwards.
oh yeah, i have seen people do that before.
i think i am going to buy it, and at worst just sell it on with a small loss in cost. (that is what i am telling myself at least, i know i always end up keeping my stuff even what i dont use :doge). got some decent trips from a photography pov coming up soon. especially paris, if those yellow vests are still out fighting.

Had to do a double take at this quick shot from gay Boston staple Club Cafe. My phone was out of my pocket for all of two seconds to grab this pic before I put it away again. I tell you it was so much darker IRL. And this wasn't even Night Sight. Like what the fuck.
Thats a fucking goldmine of a subject.
bluetsu: let's say i want a film camera. can i still take photos with it?
No can a video camera take photos? I’d like a hybrid but I’m considering getting a dedicated photo cam and a dedicated video cam.
I love seeing Cindi's opinions, even if they're so much different from my own. I appreciate the perspective of "every shot matters" and the appeal of physical photos, film grain, and the works, but my move to digital completely transformed my workflow -- for the far better.spoiler (click to show/hide)Though I'm more of a video person than stills...[close]
To each their own. :) :D Keep shooting Cindi!
idk what kinda lens your camera body can take but look into a 50mm lens with a low apAgree. I love my 50mm 1.8/f Canon lens. It's the cheapest lens they make, but the shit you can do with it is amazing. Decent image quality too.
