I like both equally and a lot.

[coolrider102]

I love the second. The texture in the ground is sexy.

[DonMitchito]

I prefer the second the lens flare is kind of soothing and it looks like you are about to get run over :O

[Adius]

The second one for sure. I see so many things wrong with the first one that I really dislike such as the blown out light, arm isn't in the frame, rock on the bottom is distracting.

The second one is just...sex.

[Razengan]

A few new ones. Two first is just playing with the lights.
What is your opinion, is it good to have watermark in your photos? If it is, should it be simple or something crazy stuff

To be honest I couldn't tell if that was sarcasm or not. Watermarks make you look like a cunt. Plain and simple. If you have to have one though, you did it right - it should flow with the colors of the shot, which yours does. 'Crazy' should be the last thing on your mind with watermarks.

Sorry if that sounded harsh, it wasn't meant to be.

I prefer the last one, I like how the big background flash and ground highlights lead you into the subject.

It wasn't too bad, but pulling them off my face made some really grotesque facial shapes.

[QUOTE=labbet;28627896]plasters? is that what band-aids are called in the U.K.?
good photo though, at first i thought it was a picture of someone who had a horrific accident.
also, you look like Dimitri Martin :buddy: .[/QUOTE]

Yeah, band-aids are plasters over here, I realised it looked like that after... oh well.

(Google-ing Dimitri Martin now)

I explored a WWII Deep Level bomb shelter in Clapham today, got some nice pictures. Gotta sleep now, work tomorrow but I'll upload them later tomorrow.

For now here's one while I was on the way there.

You should set the white balance to something constant and try to have a shorter time between frames. If possible also make each frame have a longer exposure so that it blends together better.

All taken in Clapham Road deep level shelter. The stairs to the bottom were alright, but coming back up was not fun.

I forgot to take a tripod with me so these were mostly shot with ISO 3200. I can't wait to get a 50mm 1.4 lens, this kit lens is boring.
