Holy shit, I love all of those.

I wish my local hookah bar wasn't such a sketchy place, I'd never bring my camera there.

[QUOTE=The Salmon;28506395]So, after leaving a "semi-constructive" comment on one of his HDR rape photos which had pages of "awards", he went onto my Flickr and gave me a nice comment on the first photo in my photostream. Needless to say, I couldn't resist.

This + Lomography really bums me and makes me embarassed to call myself a photographer.[/QUOTE]

Now you are just being pretentious.

Also I had a first try in fake tilt-shift PP but I think it didn't turn out well. Probably also because I took the picture with my mobile.
Any tips?

the transition from sharp to blurred is too sudden, if you are tilting the focal plane it is gradual

[Barnhouse]

God damn my old FD lenses are really soft even when I bump up the aperture and the colours are washed out to fuck. And not washed out like "high key" looks cool kinda washed out, it's genuine boring washed out colours. So I can only really shoot with my 10-24 at the moment :saddowns:

So the snow is pretty much melting around in Denmark right now. There was this basket laying out in my garden. The snow inside and behind the basket has been in cover for the strong wind. Now it looks like the snow has been spilled. It's quite nice I think.

Just joined Flickr, so I might just aswell post the first picture I uploaded.

Dude, I'm not kidding Pickwickian. Please answer your private message, I'd really, really, really like to buy that photo.

[codenamecueball]

Pick, let him have it for free. Have a heart. I mean, he's willing to pay but he's a bro

[Ferosso]

no, stfu, he deserves to get something in exchange.

[codenamecueball]

[Adius]

I can't seem to find that damn image in this thread. But damnit I would pay $50 for that thing to be framed on my wall. It's simply perfect

[codenamecueball]

Had potential if there wasn't any trees behind the two, just sky would have been ideal, can't really tell whether a change in angle would have corrected it though.

My Helios 44M makes trees look really funky for some reason.

Should I start using it more often at f2.8 rather than 2.0?

Just a joke. Thought it was kind of funny the first time I saw it. The internet needs to loosen up.

You have a very unique way of capturing people in portraits. I can tell that you're really focusing on their faces as opposed to the overall person. I can't help but feel like the DoF is a little too much for what you're doing. I'm assuming you're trying to bring as much focus to the face as possible, but the DoF is getting to the point of being an eyesore. Experiment a bit more.

Yeah but I live in Denmark, shipping is absolutely retarded. Plus I'd rather just pay him and then pay for a print myself.

Thanks Ferosso.
It means a shit-load to me.

Help me decide which one will be 226/365. The other two will go in the comments.

The two with the (flour?) dust, are framed nicely.
It's like the cloud is separating the brown and green in the forest in the first one, and the brick and background in the second.

But I also think the second one.
I like how the lamp is leaning towards your brother's hand.

[MisterM]

I pick number 3, 2 being a close second as the lamp leaning towards your bro is damn cool as Pick said. In undecided, times like these call for: EENY, MEENY, MINY, MOE!

[➤◉──────────]

Thanks! You guys put alot of thought into it :)

I'm going with 2 haha.
