Without it, you'd actually look pretty awesome in that picture. Your left eye is really intense and the hair works.

[QUOTE=karlhungus;27395977]-snip-[/QUOTE] I've always wondered how you got that look. The colours, tones, and light all work so well. How do you do it?

Well I read a little of the strobist 101 link Uber|nooB Posted, Hopefully this is worthy enough too post. Made my niece stand in front of the camera. Hope you folks like it. [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7035566/phot/IMG_4094scaled.jpg[/img]

that strobist stuff is pretty interesting, and I found a reportedly reliable remote flash sync for $40, sweeeet

Fire! [editline]14th January 2011[/editline] Fire is oh so much fun to play with. But it's BAD!

[QUOTE=Dolton;27398083]I've always wondered how you got that look. The colours, tones, and light all work so well. How do you do it?[/QUOTE] Colors/Tones are from curves adjustments. Lighting is mostly all natural light but I have an extensive studio lighting gear collection.

First time posting around here. These are some pictures I took from my trip to Hawaii back in late October, I wasn't really trying to achieve anything artistic here, but I'm pretty fond of how they turned out. Plus I managed to get a shot of Waimea Canyon on a clear day. [IMG]http://filesmelt.com/dl/Hawaii_001.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://filesmelt.com/dl/Hawaii_002.jpg[/IMG] This last picture is actually where they shot a few scenes for the first Jurassic Park, I was staying with my Aunt when I visited and she literally lives like a quarter mile away from this. [IMG]http://filesmelt.com/dl/Hawaii_003.jpg[/IMG] So yeah. Nothing special really, I just felt like posting these here. :buddy:

[QUOTE=daijitsu;27404490][i]You[/i] take as many self portraits as he has and get away with it.[/QUOTE] I wish I had the confidence and expression to do what latir has. I've recently started pushing myself to take more self portraits. Regardless of the photographic outcome, it's good exercise.

[url]http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5204/5353976532_6220f3e307_b.jpg[/url] C&C please: more on my flickr (uploaded 11 more shots tonight). I walked home from school only to find a deer in my yard, so I got some shots of that too, nothing too close-up though. It seemed rather giddy, because I later found out one of it's front legs was broken. Had to phone the conservations' office to report it.

[QUOTE=MrPedFed;27404397]so 52 weeks of you adding color correction to photos of your face?[/QUOTE] I wish! That would be so easy for me! I'll probably get more creative throughout the year, so don't worry!

Just bought my first prime :monocle: 50mm f1.8 OM. Yay. Can't wait for it to arrive.

[QUOTE=Funny;27405977]Just bought my first prime :monocle: 50mm f1.8 OM. Yay. Can't wait for it to arrive.[/QUOTE] I shall be obtaining something of this nature too. Here's a good story, I was at a pawn shop and I was searching through all their lenses to try and find one with a bayonet mount (Pentax K-x) I finally found one and it was a 50mm 1.8. Was pretty decent too and extremely cheap. So I put it back down and keep searching for others. Didn't find anything but then I start looking for the prime and I couldn't for the life of me find the bastard, I probably set it down somewhere obscured but I literally searched for a good half an hour. The people at the shop were looking at me like I was an idiot. Sad day.

I just got my 50mm 1.8 in the mail, I'm so happy :dance:

Hey guys, trying to get my hands on a copy of lightroom - which I think will drastically improve my post production and workflow. I can't be bothered with photoshop - it's far too complex for me. Can anyone suggest some basic workflows for me to get me started?

[QUOTE=Khaos-23;27406402]I just got my 50mm 1.8 in the mail, I'm so happy :dance:[/QUOTE] Do you like it? I'm thinking of buying one :smile: A image (12 actually, but still..) I took last year. It's rather big. I'm not kidding. Big. [img_thumb]http://filesmelt.com/dl/20100704-Panorama2WORKEDJPG.jpg[/img_thumb]
