Started my 52 project this week. Got a quick shot of my mom opening the back hatch to her SUV, used that as my 1/52:

And then I had her just chill outside for a little bit while I circled her taking various shots. This one is one of the only ones that turned out:

Wish the focus was on the cigarette in that second one, but oh well. I might try to retake the shot tomorrow.

Something about archives being deleted or cached caused people to lose posts previous to 2009 I believe.

Garry removed everything from before 09 and loads of people lost tons of posts.

I think that's what happened.

Motorbikes > cars especially when traffic builds up. The owner needs to sort that awful rusting out. As for the second one, that chap has nice coats and the focus is top notch, I do feel that a portrait shot is more suiting due to the left being all wasted space

Everyone seems to rip him at school for those coats, dunno why. He wears a trenchcoat even in the hottest summer days :v:.
He's getting a DSLR soon and he is on Facepunch so you might see stuff from him sometime soon.

Potholes in MN, wat.
That is Ice, and potholes are caused by the freeze-thaw cycle where the tarmac/concrete expands and contracts gradually forming cracks, so it's inevitable. Also MN=Where?

Roll_program how do you pull off black and white so well? Whenever I shoot in black and white digital they look terrible.
Adobe Camera Raw, click the greyscale tab to on the right and select greyscale, fuck with the sliders, you control the luminosity of each colour individually.
Then, in Photoshop, Layer > New > Layer, mode: overlay, check fill with neutral colour (50% grey).
Use a 10%ish opacity 0% hardness brush in either black or white to dodge and burn non-destructively. Fill in shadows, create shadows, create more intense whites, make more contrasts, basically, paint with shadows and light.
I submitted a refined and cropped version of my Bianchi image to the Riverside Museum of Art contest.

Did you make that overly blue on purpose? Don't really like it if I'm honest.
it's a purple light, I just turned down the saturation and upped the highlights.

Too low of a horizon to have that much of a tilt you dirty little whore, haha.
But seriously, when there's a tilt like that on the camera, and you try to include a vertical surface in the background, it almost takes depth out of a photo. It looks like a very amateur move, but I understand what you're going for. What makes it even more displeasing is the inability to see what's going on on the bottom half of the dog. My eyes can trick me into believing that the dog is sitting straight up, but the background proves otherwise. I know you're a very good photographer, but I'm kind of curious as to what you were going for with the tilt.
Edit: I didn't explain my first point very well, but when you have your horizon line towards the center in a tilted shot, it can put a lot of stress on the viewer. I almost want to tilt my head in the direction of the image's direction. Tilting is always a hard aspect to accomplish. I'm only really able to successfully compose a photo with tilt if I'm observing the subject from slightly above or below.

It was more an accident that it was tilted :v:. It's not easy to get down that low (being 6'2.5" doesn't help), keep the dog still and keep the horizon level at the same time.
Woohoo Atlanta Auto Show tomorrow! Expect pics of some wheels.

Not exactly practical when your subject is far more interested in chasing flies and eating grass. I had to bribe her with dog treats the entire time hehe.

These make me really scared, and I'm just sitting at a desk! Only criticism I can make is that the colours in the second one are a bit dull. If you're going for a desaturated effect I would dramatacise it a little more :)
