The Creative Photography Thread - If It Ain't Bokeh, Don't Fix It - General

Original, to satisfy your curiosity: [img_thumb]http://img52.imageshack.us/img52/5007/waitingstitch.jpg[/img_thumb] And Wumbo, not sure if I can agree with you on your note. I really like the way it's off kilter, I think that it's a big part of it's overall composition.

Well, you are entitled to your opinion. :buddy:

Why do all you guys live in such awesome places, while I live in a shitty London suburb.

[QUOTE=B-hazard;28011446]Why do all you guys live in such awesome places, while I live in a shitty London suburb.[/QUOTE] Denmark isn't an awesome place, it's cold and boring. Nonikai lives on Iceland, which is pretty nice, I guess.

its all relative, some dude in china probably thinks pictures of the average uk town are exotic while most bore me to death

Just purchased Canon Rebel XS. So stoked! Hopefully going to have some decent pictures for you guys soon.

So, the chinese lantern release was absolutely incredible last night. Like, one of the most amazing things I've seen in my life. Not just the lanterns, but the energy there - we were doing it in protest of a proposed development on a nice patch of land on the Uni grounds. Anyway, to my point - I didn't end up taking any photographs, just video. And I ended up getting really drunk and stoned, so put my camera away fairly early. Sorry guys... That said, I did spend all day in Folkstone today and took some great shots in my opinion. I'll post once they've finished uploading.

Shitty London suburbs are great. Especially for photographs.

refer to my old post b-hazard basically: You will never see the place you go through daily as a photogenic area, you just need to explore a little.
