[B1N4RY!]

From what I recalled, the depth of field issue can be resolved by using an older lens where the aperture is set manually on the lens

Also, You can't belive how much I regret tilting my camera, what a huge fucking mistake that was.

the only colors I see are orange and blue, and they're not particularly appealing merely for the sake of being two-toned, so yes

I like the composition and odd angle. It gives it a neat look.

With this good feedback, I guess it wasn't a mistake after all. Thanks!

[Adius]

Certainly not perfect but it was my first polar panorama, "cough cough" I made them clouds look like that, completely intentional

If you make a mistake, claim it was intentional and rake in the compliments :smug:

I like it, but I think it would have been a better shot if the (rain gutter?) wasn't in there. The focus seemed to be on the windows, but my eyes were more focused on the gutter to the side.

I could crop it out, but I'm afraid the result won't be as good as I think it will be. It almost never is.

[.ediT]

I kind of like the gutter myself :o

[buttspoonce]

I gave the ol' ghetto macro lens trick another go. I stepp outside and the first thing I spot is a little blue crab spider, perched on top of my pool fence - looking directly at me.

I love the little ember legs and lighting in this photo.

Looks like you've got it down pretty well.

You're holding a reversed lens up to the lens you're using, correct?

yeah

[Adius]

I tried that lens inversion thing but I the lens I am using is a 35-70mm 2.4 inverted against my kit lens (18-55mm) I have them both zoomed in, but not really producing the results I want, probably because I am using the wrong lens, but its fun to take 720p video of it, once I get a true macro lens should have some sweet footage.

[QUOTE=B1N4RY!;25440791]From what I recalled, the depth of field issue can be resolved by using an older lens where the aperture is set manually on the lens[/QUOTE]

Another solution would be to use the DoF button and take the lens off (while holding the button).

Does this work with any 2 lenses? Or does the second one have to be a zoom lens?

Just got done shooting with my good friends in The Prescription! Take a gander at the sneak preview setup shot and give them a listen! I wish them good luck on their cross country tour they embark on in 5 days! Feel free to ask questions as usual.

Took this self portrait about 2 hours ago.
Straight of the camera.

Just thought that I should contribute something for once.

Took this one a while ago at the last Atlantis mission.

It works even better with smaller lenses, but yes it will work with any two lenses.

[gast0r]

I took these a while back on a Kodak Point and Shoot, only just found them on it's old SD card.

They're unedited other than some resizing on Photoshop. I'd have used a better camera, but I'm a baguette.

I apologize for my previous, not so constructive, criticism, but anyways, I really like this one!

Fantastic lighting and I love how you get all the equipment in the shot as well, it's actually [I]creative[/I].

Though I still don't get why you include all the camera info.

I agree. I think it's really good.
I love seeing all the lighting equipment and backdrop - I think it's all placed really well in the frame.

Although, I understand completely why he includes the camera info. You can work out why the image looks the way it is - it's a photography thread after all - any information is helpful when trying to give a critique.

Also got some more pictures I took today.

A shame that the one with the duck on the very blue and still water got overexposed on his ass :<

Also automerge broken.

Nice pictures though.
