[QUOTE=Funny;27791932]3. Ok.. just a bit of a strange subject :S[/QUOTE] Aha, yeah it is. We found some old wrecked suitcase and came up with the idea of some maniac walking through the woods convinced he was off on holiday.

Am I doin it rite?

this one was experimental. i like it. the stupid strap got in the way though. but it focused on the tea which is awesome. that's my arm and i am holding my camera at a weird angle down my arm by my shoulder. [img]http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5051/5393247676_c963e48365_b.jpg[/img]

i took this with my point and shoot a while back. it was at the lost boys showing at the beach boardwalk; its a santa cruz tradition. 800 people showed up. [img]http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5219/5407832760_64bf44dcc3_b.jpg[/img]

Just went and took some pictures of travellers, I hate how prejudice I was of them for ages, they are honestly some of the nicest and co-operating people i've ever met.

Gonna make a set on Flickr for my mini portfolio then linking to Falmouth/other unis if they ask. I got rejected from Ulster so if I do get to university it will be in England. Took some photos with my nifty fifty today and goddamn, great photos but quite a few being a notch out of focus were ruined, hard to tell on the tiny screen. Think I could use a 35 1.8 prime.

[QUOTE=DoubleDD;27779376]In perspective though, the D90 isn't that great with high ISO. I took some pictures with my Canon 7D at ISO 6400, ran them through a bit of noise reduction and they still looked pretty good. Ofcourse this depends on the scene. Daylight shootings with high ISO number usually give better results than shooting in low-light situations. When I got my Canon 7D, I was pretty dissapointed at it's high ISO performances. I was scared to go near ISO 1600. With programs like Photoshop and Lightroom though, you get more possibilities to push your ISO further and still get good pictures.[/QUOTE] What are you talking about, it's great with high ISOs. You're comparing it to a camera that's a year newer and twice the price of a D90.

You have quite the pretty winter! Bedfordshire want a mini portfolio now too, but what worries me is the interest they have in how I develop certain ideas in visually interesting ways. I usually just go out with a rough idea and open perspective and trying to look at things in what could be eye catching or interesting to look at. QUACK

Just an FYI codenamecueball got a 3 day ban.. haha

Why did he do that?

[QUOTE=CammyD;27794521]Better than some cat pictures, but still not really anything special. Not a fan of the black and white either.[/QUOTE] But the cat is black and white! He looks like a smug cat, hurring or something. I love all cat photos and this is no exception.

From the C&C I gleaned, I have finally bothered to do some editing
