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

Do you work as a fulltime photographer? I looked at your website and your portraits are badass. I've been struggling to even find a minimum wage job to fund a 5Dii.

Nah it's freetime/hobby. I work as a logistics coordinator at a company that replaces windows on cars :v:

I went for a walk today, and I noticed a very high fence with barbwire on top. I walked along the fence for a good hour, until i found a hole in the said fence, then I entered through the hole, that somebody had made by cutting the fence into pieces, lol. I then proceeded to walk for another hour through some giant blue warehouses. No one was around, but me. I even yelled "hello, is anyone here?" quite a few times. I came across some giant blue crane, alot of trash and a bunch of other cool stuff.

Aww right, time to process some RAWs :buddy: [editline]03:29PM[/editline] Yes, this is a cat on a leash, Don't ask. He's a little mischievous bastard.

[QUOTE=wingless;25146207]Yes, this is a cat on a leash, Don't ask. He's a little mischievous bastard.[/QUOTE] My friend has a crazy cat like that. He takes it for walks, taught it to play fetch, it refuses to not wear a shirt or something all the time so he made it dresses, shirts and a little tophat to wear. [img]http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash2/hs131.ash2/39889_148908131787018_100000034978281_427649_2324376_n.jpg[/img] Putting my portraiture skills to work on quality material also been toying with my dad's ooooooold film camera, complete with film older than me. End result had a nice semi-vintage feel :buddy: [img_thumb]http://ploader.net/files/aef1b26ef42632decdd4ddfd2ae2f3da.jpg[/img_thumb] [img_thumb]http://ploader.net/files/3019515f71730c110c53a12eb098ebfe.jpg[/img_thumb] obviously same friend from the first picture. I just noticed the difference in color on his shirt, the film really drew in extra color. I love it, I just wish I had more old rolls laying around since I doubt new stuff would give the same effect. Anyone know if there's an easy way to get my hands on some stock of unused film from the 1980's? :v:

Bottom pics won't load.

rehostin' done, look up [editline]1:11[/editline] ah dammit I swear every time I mention "above post" or whatever it does this. retoastin' for new page because I lurve this one- [img_thumb]http://ploader.net/files/aef1b26ef42632decdd4ddfd2ae2f3da.jpg[/img_thumb]

Post processing can recover alot of that "lost color" that is seen as being character of film. Also your friends glasses have a red tint that make him look stoned.

yeah, his prescription glasses are pink. Back in highschool, he was the big, scary kid with spiked collars and black everything... and a little pink backpack. AND HE MADE IT WORK :black101:

↑ rapes quality severely. You lose size (obviously), and in that process it saves out a new highly compressed JPG, which rapes detail and drops the color quality a few notches. On topic though, pictures were nice. A few were washed out by the sun, but I liked the overall set.

And yes I agree, but there wasn't alot I could do =(

well, for now pick out one or two you really like from the set and upload them to [url]ploader.net[/url] so we can see the higher quality stuff :buddy:

Favorites probably, but I really like them all.

for taking with a droid, pretty impressive. You'll only improve when you upgrade. My only gripe is the strange side-to-side blur on the first image, feels unnatural to how the lens focuses.

I find that jacking up the luminance about 15% in Lightroom severely reduces grain without quality loss.

[editline]12:21AM[/editline] [QUOTE=Spetzaz;25169760]I find that jacking up the luminance about 15% in Lightroom severely reduces grain without quality loss.[/QUOTE] I'll have to try that out, once I get a new camera it shouldn't be such an issue but I will look into it.
