The "Creative Photography " Thread [v2] In Memoriam - General

Something older, don't think I posted it here though.

The background is a little too distracting, imo.

Here's some more from the Weed Festival (Mardigrass - haha) in Nimbin.

any ideas why there are white dots in the right of the second image? it looks like a scanning error, but these photos are digital :P

Dead pixels on my sensor :(

[QUOTE=Pickwickian-;27302710]Dead pixels on my sensor :([/QUOTE] Are they dead or just hot pixels? (Do they have colour) If they're just hot pixels you can reduce them by keeping your camera cold while shooting. Of course, this is kinda hard to do when shooting outdoors during the day.

[QUOTE=squish;27299163]Thanks a lot for these tips. Accidental rating there :/. Meant to rate useful but I tapped it once to make the ratings appear and it chose what would have been there which is apparently funny (on iPhone). Great shots nonetheless, and what model flash do you have?[/QUOTE] Nikon Sb-600. It took me a while to start using it and initially regretted my purchase, but now I can't live without it. I'd say it's definitely worth picking up.

[QUOTE=Edthefirst;27297986]Damn this first one is mental. Mad props.[/QUOTE] Thanks, I got there too late to see the actual flames burst out the roof but atleast something happened in this little town for once.

[QUOTE=nubscaper;27286193]Not quite photography, but I recently decided on getting a Nikon D3100 (I know people hate the camera, but its not like I can do anything about it) Just took my first video with it. Used a 50mm f/1.8 prime with manual focus, thus the shakiness. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h8YttSxNuoo&hd=1[/media] I'll be posting some pictures in the future too :)[/QUOTE] What was the pricetag on that thing?

They don't. Ask bopie for help with Canon flashes.

[QUOTE=Edthefirst;27322674]They don't. Ask bopie for help with Canon flashes.[/QUOTE] Okay thanks. It would really be nice to get the 580EXII but that's way out of my price range. It seems kind of weird to just "call for bopie.". Lool. If you read this, bopie, what do you recommend downwards of the 580? If I were to get a flash my budget would probably be anything less than around 250-300.

430EX II is what you would be looking at [url]http://www.canon.com.au/en-au/Pro-Photography/Speedlites/430EXII[/url] $280 from B&H [url]http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/571297-USA/Canon_2805B002_430EX_II_Speedlite_TTL.html[/url]
