I need to work on night photography a lot more. For me every shoot is trial and error so I don't go home with one shot I think is right, to only find out its out of focus a tad. Some of these are a bit iffy, used some noise reduction and tweaked the colours a bit. Any tips on night shooting would be nice. I did use a tripod/platform for quite a few. The 1.8 isn't quite so fast in most lights to shoot handheld, or maybe I'm shaking stevens.

I actually tried using a really bright torch to add light to him but it was difficult to hold it and focus at the same time. Laser pointers are tiny in comparison so it should work well and get me nicer focus, cheers for the tip!

Cueball created a facebook group [url]http://www.facebook.com/home.php?sk=group_192858110747403&ap=1[/url] would be cool for chat, I know I'm on FB way too much

yeah it was me

Request sent yo. squish if you find any really chip triggers, do let me know. I'd love to take mine off camera but I have to stop spending money, or sell my computer and monitor first.

G UNIT! A good reason to go on Facebook at last. The amount of people getting "fraped" and liking retarded groups keeps me off it less I need to contact someone.

There was a picture here a while ago of somebody who took a picture of their face and was "painting color" onto it. Can I get that reposted because I want to show somebody. I want to try it out for myself.

[QUOTE=codenamecueball] Epic post [/QUOTE] I have to try this now.

an 09er mod.. wtf? [editline]4th March 2011[/editline] i didn't make it btw

Gonna try another cool self portrait this weekend I reckon... need to top the face painting one but I'm still thinking. Glad you guys like it though, I appreciate it.

[QUOTE=squish;28415659]Would look nicer IMO without the blue pole. Ik there's no way to remove it though (or nothing easy). Still a very nice shot, I have no fucking idea how tired I am because I looked at it 3 times before I noticed that was actually a light, not the moon... Didn't even notice the blue pole up to that point. Edit: oh damn it, pageking on a mobile post; 5 minutes later and I'll have loaded my Flickr. Here's a shot: [img_thumb]http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5211/5475252149_59c149da6e_b.jpg[/img_thumb] Haven't had much content lately; I'd love to just drive into Vancouver and take some street shots but well, I'm 14. A few more years until that happens I guess. That's what's kinda demotivating me is that it's hard to find stuff in the small repetitively-placed neighbourhood I live in. I live with a ravine behind my house and a park/forest across the street in front. Ive been in the park many times but haven't found much to shoot (saw some coyotes a month ago; killed myself for not having my camera). Anyways, I will probably end up venturing down the ravine this weekend, though it is rather steep. C&C on above shot and feel free to give me more C&C on any of my latest shots on Flickr.[/QUOTE] Very nice tones, good focus. I like the way the subject and background blend together.

[QUOTE=squish;28423167]Yes sir. :) You totally just motivated me to buy a flash trigger and try that out. fixed the link on my picture.[/QUOTE] There is some great stuff shoot here if you go looking for it. Such perfect mesh of nature and modernity.

The DoF isn't as deep (is that the right term?) as I'd like it to be, but there isn't much I can do to it now seeing as the place I took the shot is no longer accessible by me to do a re-shoot.

[QUOTE=cmrna;28429166]There is some great stuff shoot here if you go looking for it.

I'd love to hike Seymour and get some shots from the peak (and around) but I doubt that's open in the Winter especially with the huge dumps of snow they just got.

[QUOTE=bopie;28412787]at least put in a little more effort than a black scribble on the license plate. most people use the blur tool or something, the more creative insert different letters/numbers.[/QUOTE] how about this?

Is it ok that i just come and go leaving photos every once and a while, and not really participating in conversations?

[QUOTE=laughattacked;28430969]Is it ok that i just come and go leaving photos every once and a while, and not really participating in conversations?[/QUOTE] Perfectly fine :) interesting shots btw, looks like a neat place

It's fine, and I really like those photos.

Ok, good! haha it feels weird when i think about just joining a conversation randomly. And thanks:] I took those when I was in Monterey last weekend. I visited the Carmelo Mission in Carmel, which is close to Monterey
