It's all about the light, mess around with some lamps and white backgrounds (printer paper is fine) until you find something nice.
Also try stopping the lens way down and setting the camera on a tripod or rest it on something.

Also, what does the screen end up looking like? Is it glare?
I'm going as the character in my avatar for halloween. Took all of a half hour to go to goodwill and pick up everything to make me hipsteriffic. If anyone asks about it it just adds to the hipsterness, "I'm a background character from a swedish music video. You've probably never seen it."
I'll get pics later, but this is terrible. Bopie would be proud

Technically, they're English [img]http://fi.somethingawful.com/images/smilies/emot-eng101.gif[/img].
I went to a Halloween party, added the Olympus OM-1 to my normal attire, passed it off a hipster costume.
Also, I'm now the media/PR director at my school, I get to do tons of stuff related to photography/videography/other media, apart from actually taking photos.
"For Halloween i want to be a hipster"
"But you're already hipster"
I took my OM-G with me, my friend suggested I be Peter Parker instead of calling myself a hipster/photographer. Worked somewhat.

It's a sound concept based in good logic, but it makes you look like a dick.
Taking compliments gracefully is a skill.
it was a private discussion, but i just wanted to publish that one post but, she started apologising like mad after it and stuff, and apologised for annoying me and that, and i was telling her to calm down, because theres nothing to apologise for.
helps your realise how seriously people take the internet
I cleaned up my room last week, threw out all kinds of shit, installed a new closet for me and my girlfriend and re-wired everything. While doing that, my girlfriend found an old box full of negatives from my parents. Pretty excited. Might even scan some in just for the hell of it.
i went to a halloween party last night, my friend and i were dressed up as a reporter and cameraman. i was the camera guy, using my friend's xl2 was fun, but damn that camera is so heavy, i had to make a sling attached to the back of my pants so it wouldn't fall that far forward.
god damn it i want a nice video camera
5D MKII
to be completely honest while all of the controls on that camera are kickass, the actual quality of the video is not as good as my nex5. the sensor on the xl2 is just so damn small.
I couldn't scrap up the materials for my keytar, but everyone kept saying I looked really cool. One guy excitedly asked where I was from, like I was some crazy european or something. Neat. Gettin' a picture in the mornin'

Thanks, but

sounds so soft and easily trolled
I was holding my camera in one hand and my backpack in the other, and I normally just drop my backpack on the ground when I put it down, but I just sorta dropped both the camera and my backpack.
it was so stupid
[editline]31st October 2011[/editline]
also there was this awesome house I saw, it was bright yellow and really small, in the middle of 2 large greyish houses, and it had a white picket fence and the sun was hitting it really well.
and there were 2 little girls in the front yard playing, it was so picturesque
but I was scared to take pictures of little girls so I didn't

slowly lift your camera and rapidfire whilst looking through the viewfinder, but ultimately bring yourself to look up at the sun/sky behind the house like you see something really cool. Anyone seeing you with the camera will be mislead as to your intentions.
Kind of a technique for street photography, pretending to be looking past or above someone and only in the motion of lifting your camera when you snag the shot.
I just found a Pentax Spotmatic in a stack of old pictures is it my lucky day?
I'm in the market for a diffuser for my 580ex II, I'm split between getting a Bounce card, Omnibounce, or Lightsphere.
The Gary Fong lightspheres a pretty expensive for what they are, so I'm thinking either the bounce card or the omnibounce.
The bounce card would probably be better for outdoors use when I don't want to bring a softbox, but the Omnibounce is probably better for bouncing off the ceiling indoors.
I should probably just get both..
Any ideas/does anyone else use either?
Hey, what do you guys think are some things that are handled badly by Flickr, or even 500px? I'm thinking of creating a similar site...
nothing really

I think they kind of sharpen things a little too much.
I think if I were to personally say something, it's that 500px does the portfolio bit rather well, but not the community, and Flickr does the opposite. I'd probably have to somehow bring them both together...

yeah, openid / oauth would be a must.
i'd like to be able to paste basic exif info in with the html of the photo
[QUOTE=cueballv2themax;33071119]i'd like to be able to paste basic exif info in with the html of the photo[/QUOTE]
I reckon you could do that with a little userscript...
well i can't code for shit
well, I guess my post fits this thread mostly.
Our Olympus E-400 screen works very weirdly. Or well, Does not work, unless it want's to say that the battery is empty.
No picture previews etc. Nothing. But when the battery gets empty, the screen turns on and says that the battery is empty.
Anybody with a Olympus E-Series camera know a fix for it?
