[QUOTE=Funny;31648703]Went to another photocall today. Alexander McCall Smith was doing stuff with some actors. Never has my SLR penis felt so small. Around 15 other photographers there, don't know anything about the Nikon side, but the Canon Crew all had 70-200's, 24-70's - external flashes, 1D's - it was camera sex. I was stood there with my 18-55, 1000D and a rubber lens hood. FML.[/QUOTE] it's not how big your penis is that matters, it's how you use it
I'm getting a little tired of using Flickr all the time, and was thinking of slowly building up a decent portfolio on a personal website, but I don't think ijyt.net would actually cut it as a good URL for a some-what serious portfolio.

My name a good url does not make.
[QUOTE=ijyt;31649541]My name a good url does not make.[/QUOTE] I think the correct syntax is "My name does not a good url make" anyway, you could invent some sort of photo studio which you 'work for' just for the sake of the logo and url? Just make sure it's classy though, not like 'xcaliburz studios'
Unless it spells out something perverse (Hope Nisbet -> hopenisbet.com) it would be fine. Or if it's really long.

After neglecting the hell out of photography I found myself on the roof at work today wishing I had more than my phone for a camera. Either way, I got some pics on my phone, but I can't tell how they turned out, the glare off the screen was atrocious and I haven't looked at them on the computer yet.
God, I hate this stupid weather. It's very overcast right now but kind of bright, so you hope that the sun comes out but you wait hours after hours and it keeps on being cloudy. Too cloudy to take pretty pictures. :|

What would be preferential for landscape photography, an ND filter or a CP filter?
[QUOTE=ijyt;31677201]What would be preferential for landscape photography, an ND filter or a CP filter?[/QUOTE] I've heard you can do really cool moving water effects with an ND filter, so I would go for that one also lol child porn filter :suicide:
[QUOTE=Alcapwne;31677279]You can do really cool moving water effects with an ND filter.[/QUOTE] Extremely useful for bigger apertures too, f/1.6 on the sunniest of days still overexposes even at 1/8000 and ISO 50. Neutral density filters are basically sunglasses for your lenses. [img]http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-c00l.gif[/img]
Yeah, I'm kind of confused about shooting landscapes with an ND. If my ISO is 100, and I have a .9 (or .6 or .4) filter, what kind of Aperture do I want? Apparently you'd want to shoot closed down, so more is in focus, but don't you risk underexposing?

I use my CPL as a minor ND filter since it darkens things up a little, so I can shoot wider outdoors. Can use multiple CPLs stacked, but things get wonky fast, heh.
Arrived in California a few hours ago and sadly couldn't bring my tripod. But at least I was still able to take 1000 pictures for a flight time lapse free handed, with my hand on that window for 1 hour of that 4 hour flight. Great way to pass the time when headphones actually cost $2 to buy.
thanks dai, I guess I forgot the most important part: the exposure time. :v: I'm going on a cruise, so I'm hoping to get plenty of sunset/sunrise&water shots. but if I'm trying the same thing at night, I can leave the filter off, right?
[QUOTE=GraniteMouse;31682025]I can leave the filter off, right?[/QUOTE] Yep, it just screws on and off - about as easy as taking a lens cap off.
