The camera I ordered at Best Buy on Monday is ready for pickup and it wasn't supposed to get to the store until January 4th.

I'm excited!

Will post a picture taken by the camera at some point to see if I got a good deal :v:

[QUOTE=Juice_Layer;33950440]I'm applying for a university soon, and I wanted to include a portfolio in my application. What is the best, cleanest looking portfolio site that can be made for free? I've used Deviant Art before, but it was just okay. Any other suggestions?[/QUOTE]

Are you applying for art, or is the portfolio going to be used just to spice up the application? If it's actually for an art major I'd be sure to print it out and get it sent to the university so it's guaranteed to be looked at. The office of admissions usually just ignores half of your application anyway,\.

I now have an assortment of 120 film, 35mm colour and black and white film. I think I have around 40 rolls with half being expired, my photo teacher just gives me a bunch of film that no one ended up using :)

Can anyone suggest a good CMS based on photography?

So I've got my first paid gig today. It's a party, $100 for two hours at a nice restaurant. I feel prepped and I hope things go flawlessly.

Guys um

When it's late at night and you're tired.

And you're taking photos of stars.

And the sky looks completely black anyways.

And you're in a dark place.

Do double check that the lens cap is actually off before taking a 16+ minute exposure.

Went out on my family's new boat.

[quote]Winner of the "Best Workboat" and "Best Engine Room" awards at the 2007 Victoria Classic Boat Show. "Viking Mariner" presents an opportunity to own a part of our rich West Coast workboat heritage. Professional seafarers know the superb sea keeping qualities of this vessel in storm force weather, or worse, conditions. Their very lives depended upon it. A vessel such as "Viking Mariner" is therefore ideal for our cruising waters. An ideal blend of sea worthiness, purposeful good looks, and character that simply cannot be duplicated in a modern yacht. Launched in Ladner, BC in 1955 and christened "Mar Brothers" she began her professional life as a drum seiner on the waters of the inside and outside coasts of Vancouver Island. A renowned skipper once referred to her as: "one of the best sea boats I ever skippered". She was purchased by the former owners in 2001, and the refit and restoration for a life of pleasure began. "Viking Mariner's" 2001 - 2007 extensive refit and restoration faithfully maintained the lines of the original design. The refit and restoration was assisted by certified professionals and spared no expense. Pretty much everything on the boat was renewed, rebuilt, or replaced including: new decks, frames, bulwarks, fasteners received extensive work, engine rebuild, new electrical/wiring, new hydraulics, and so much more.

not trying to sound like a dick, but i think i can take better pictures with a pinhole potato.

edit: oh, hey, found a pretty decent photo: [url]http://jimsphotos.myphotos.cc/jimk/winter06b/pages/6085.html[/url]

I bet this dude is laughing everytime he goes out. I bet he knows how to handle a camera like a fucking boss, but instead, chooses to put forth no effort, and still trick people into thinking it's a nice photo. i'm sure his presentation with his website really helps to make him look good. THIS MAN IS A MARKETING GENIUS.

Stay at it, and the skin on your fingers will become thicker and it won't get sore.

Umm, why is Creative Photography closed?

[editline]2nd January 2012[/editline]

Oh shit, all big threads got closed.

[Bek___]

I'm guessing that there is a thread page cap again?

[editline]2nd January 2012[/editline]

NeverMind. Garry just wants us to close big threads every month.

[Roll_Program]

Cueball should not make the new thread.

Dai should because he's a pretty neat-o.

[Bek___]

Maybe we should all take terms making the new threads every month.

[editline]2nd January 2012[/editline]

Well B-Haz already hopped on it.
