what bopie posted in the creative photography thread, basically that adding imperfections and artifacts like dust, scratches, grain, etc to your photo gives it a higher sense of tangibility, it helps to bring out the authentic feeling in it somewhat.
a bit of vignette is okay, but try to keep it light usually, if you have lightroom use the lens vignette as opposed to the post crop to simulate some natural looking vignette, either way don't over do it

i probably shouldn't be one to talk about vignette seeing as I feel I often abuse it, but i have been trying to keep a dramatic feel without taking the vignette to ridiculous points

If done right it doesn't feel fake, it just takes a lot of work to do it. As was said, Bopie does a nice job of adding little imperfections that definitely add a bit of tangibility to it.
On another note, I now have 3 out of the 6 cameras I bought for parts a little while back in working or nearly working condition. And learned loads about the inner workings of cameras and rangefinders, including that mirrors are the most annoying pieces ever when they fall out of place.
So the first roll of film from my Uncle's and mine(not sure how to word that) camera came back (the sprocket rocket). Some are really pretty, unfortunatly my 3rd camera friend when being shown the camera removed the back and killed the film (which had the only pictures I took showing). My Uncle is the better photographer though. Should I get them scanned to share?

Although this article is directed towards 3D renders, it is pretty insightful into the individual aspects of recording equipment that makes things look realistic. And things to look out for when trying to emulate that authentic look.

I made a video. It's in the Bullshit section as a thread but I figured might just deserve a mention here as well. Sarcasm ahoy!

Loved the bit where you were sampling the video and it cut to the nightclub, upside down. Made me laugh.
That was probably one of my favorite parts too, thanks! :)
Who's the girl? ;)

To add to it...my girlfriend just tried to kill herself by overdosing on 100 sertraline tablets, and since I didn't know her address well since I've only started dating her recently, nor had her mums number since I forgot to write it down last time I saw her (fuck), I had to call like 10 different emergency services until I called the Kent police who could get it. But now they cannot disclose if she's OK.
What is happening jesus christ.

Just when I thought it was hard to take self-shots with my crappy D3100 and 18-55mm, you show that huge chunk of... tan plastic! How do you even hold that thing up?!

The white/tan on the lens is actually metal haha, only the body is plastic. And wasn't easy, it took a few takes to get an okay grip.
Also, best wishes to you B-hazard, hope everything turns out okay for you.
Man I miss bro-girl friends, the last one I had is now my girlfriend.

I hope that everything is going to be ok.
Good news, they got to her on time and saved her. I just can't believe she did this without even warning me in the slightest.
So my uncle took classes after he got out of college and showed me his first camera. It's a Minolta X-700, and he has three lens for it. One of them is a crazy(to me at least) telephoto lens that zooms in and out by you forcing the lens back and forth, no turning. Then a regular 28mm and 49mm. He also has an official kodak gray card, neat old thing.

I found her facebook via yours, and all the posts she made in the last day look like jokes, but then when I read the full story from you here I was like 'holy shit'
all the best man!

yeah old zooms used to be pump! i don't like them like that honestly, i think there's a reason why they changed it. the x-700 is a wonderful camera.

Get out.
Lesson learnt: Don't scan straight to USB. I thought the files would be okay, just take longer to transfer/scan but NAW CORRUPTION. Dust that doesn't go away from my negs is rage worthy.
[QUOTE=Dumb User;35789996]Remember, never stick your dick in crazy.[/QUOTE]
my girlfriend is severely stressed out.
my best friend had a girlfriend who was mentally ill and kept him up all night telling him how she was going to kill herself and it would be his fault and she drained him completly.
don't take the fucking piss.
[editline]2nd May 2012[/editline]
let's not forget our own wee b-hazard here who is tunneling through a mountain of shit
[QUOTE=Dumb User;35789996]Remember, never stick your dick in crazy.[/QUOTE]
i used to think that people rated you dumb just because of your name and avatar but now i see there is a more profound reason
[editline]2nd May 2012[/editline]
b-hazard you are a bro and i hope things get better for you quick (and they should)
Well she's breaking up with me to chase the ex who she attempted suicide over, who hates her. Though it was that and the fact that people from her old school and hometown literally chased her out like a leper and tried to convince her to kill herself. Turns out she was lieing all those times she told me she genuinely loved me (not like couples just saying it, she was trying to say she actually meant it), though I was the only person who cared enough about her to save her; all I've really got out of this is a shitload stress, a dent in my wallet, and another mark on my criminal record.
I suppose it's a good thing though, I shouldn't be chasing girls right in the middle of my exams. I suppose if wasn't with her at this time she would have almost certainly died, heh that's the second life I've saved. Probably gonna focus on the business I'm starting over summer after they're over, as well as catching up on my photography.
Good to see you remaining optimistic
Had a test today, very probably failed
I hate when the entire test is "describe <TOPIC>" or something vague like that, give me actual questions, dangit. Not blaming that, I didn't study, but still.
Probably getting off my ass tomorrow and doing some advertising for my little computer repair service (or maybe even get an actual job, if I find one where I only have to work during weekends :v:) so I can get some money and buy a 35mm or a mechanical keyboard or a new GPU or one of the many expensive things I want.
Its great you can have that positive attitude after all that B-hazard. Keep focused on your exams now and then decide what to do after. Plenty of time for it. You have a rad bike so no excuses on getting places! :v:
