There was obviously no use of flash during a play and the lighting wasn't the best so it was hard to get these without the use of a tripod.[/QUOTE] I call your event photography and raise you two asian robots.

well from the way i interpreted the photo, i thought there was an underlying message :smile:

Hey y'all, like this page so I can get a mothereffin page username [url]http://www.facebook.com/pages/FotoJaanuscc/115329481877505[/url]

how does one do an image like this [img]http://www.mimiandkarl.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/raetz004.JPG[/img]

What do you mean "do"? Like the colours and stuff? Also is it just me or does the focus/dof on that window look really strange.. It looks like a tilt shift was used.

Do, as in colors.

Just got a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II and here is the obligatory flower shot. [IMG]http://i77.photobucket.com/albums/j60/jake_steel/109d4ef5.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=gaboer;28468044]Do, as in colors.[/QUOTE] Split toning. Cheapest trick in the book. Blue shadows, yellow highlights.

[QUOTE=rieda1589;28467446]Also is it just me or does the focus/dof on that window look really strange.. It looks like a tilt shift was used.[/QUOTE] looks more like they tossed a half-assed gradient blur on it, I'm pretty sure a tilt lens can't actually tilt the focal plane that much (seriously the clouds are reasonably sharp so we're talking about making the focal plane perpendicular)

"I get emails and posts on my FB every day saying things like “I hope I can be as good as you someday”. And of course, I’m totally flattered! But I just wanted to lay it bare for you right now: Sometimes, I just want to give up. Sometimes I literally lose sleep at night thinking about how I wish this and I wish that. Sometimes, I totally bomb a session and I have to re-shoot. Sometimes I cry. Sometimes, I hate my branding. My style. My editing. Sometimes I look at other photographers and think: I’ll NEVER be that good. So if you’re looking at me and thinking the same thing? Just know that sometimes, I’m doing the exact same thing. And sometimes, I even get your emails while I’m in the very middle of one of my sometimes tantrums."

i have no idea what i am even doing. [img]https://dl-web.dropbox.com/get/Photos/DSC032233.jpg?w=4b1002fa[/img]

What scares me Bopie is that the people you aspire to have probably felt that a lot in life, and may even feel that now :( Side note: Rating artistic doesn't count as CC :v:

[QUOTE=The Salmon;28470410]What scares me Bopie is that the people you aspire to have probably felt that a lot in life, and may even feel that now :([/QUOTE] There's always low moments in life, whether it be in Photography, when you're an Artist or an Architect. What always helps us pick ourselves up off the ground is that drive and willpower. If the time comes when you can't seem to find that willpower and are on the brink of throwing in your cards and leaving the table (so to speak), you need to fight yourself to stay at that table and continue with what you truly love. It's completely human to have those down times, all we have to do is make sure there's also times where we're soaring high, and we can look down on those times and laugh. Idk exactly who that was directed at if not you. Just had to empty everything out.
