[QUOTE=phantom87;25792101]^^Very neat indeed! The colors are very surreal; it gives a kind of dream like atmosphere to the image. I took a short trip yesterday up to the local dam (Norris Dam) and seized the opportunity to grab some pics on such a beautiful day: [img_thumb]http://i54.tinypic.com/2u4rev9.jpg[/img_thumb] I'll upload more tomorrow....[/QUOTE] i love this

@Edthefirst: Thanks, and I agree. I don't have Photoshop, but wouldn't a gradient filter in Gimp work for the washed out sky? @Toxicpiano: Thanks man! Here are two more that I took the same day going to the dam. These are a little more experimental....the first two were taken in a car wash with a macro lens...lol: [IMG]http://i54.tinypic.com/jkunpg.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i55.tinypic.com/2unzfhc.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i53.tinypic.com/v8om0i.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i51.tinypic.com/iy0nbd.jpg[/IMG]

[QUOTE=b l u r;25815645] Pinhole camera?[/QUOTE] No, just the kit lens on my D80; it was just incredibly foggy that night. Pretty much straight off the camera - apart from a couple of level adjustments.

[QUOTE=phantom87;25815256] [img_thumb]http://i54.tinypic.com/jkunpg.jpg[/img_thumb] [/QUOTE] I like.

Yo linux I've noticed you've been posting here recently. Got anything to show us? [b]99/365[/b] [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/steveotto/5141026651/][img]http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1256/5141026651_b294d80539_z.jpg[/img][/url] Took about 300 shots today before I burned out and just went with this. There are a couple self portraits after the jump.

I always hate mirror shots, no one [i]ever[/i] flips the shot back so things read right. Still a cool shot though

get a real camera

[QUOTE=daijitsu;25822682]no one [i]ever[/i] flips the shot[/QUOTE] I actually did try flipping it, I didn't like the way it 'felt'. I usually do, though.

Took this last year [img]http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs950.snc4/74388_448033736726_635841726_5948659_4534257_n.jpg[/img]

Today I found a Hermmer. [img]http://a.yfrog.com/img541/1614/5vt.jpg[/img]

I've noticed I have become increasingly more interested in video, possibly because it's almost the only thing I do at college. We recently shot a promo movie for a school and a short docu for a grafiti-artist and it is just so much fun.

[QUOTE=latirCole;25829738]I'm feeling that, i want to get a nikon D3100 purely so i can start experimenting with video.[/QUOTE] It's really a lot of fun. Especially when you need to take it bigger up like setting lights, composing a shot, directing actors and thinking about shots. Talking about it makes me feel tingly inside rrrrrrr

[QUOTE=LinuX;25828716]Don't force like that. I don't have the money. [editline]3rd November 2010[/editline] Wowow[/QUOTE] even a $50 camera is better than that iphone noise generator

Phone cameras are absolute shit if there's not enough light

Took this not too long ago when I was volunteering for the Kent Wildlife Trust doing some coppicing. [img]http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs898.snc4/73141_448174171726_635841726_5951386_4693203_n.jpg[/img]

I know in my head that if I keep at it I'll be able to improve and what not, and I've already made a commitment to photography, but I feel like deep down I just don't 'get it' like Latir or Daijitsu seem to. I'm actually feeling this about my whole lifestyle, but it's hit photo stuff the hardest. I'm absolutely in love with photography and would [i]hate[/i] to give it up. I wonder if I'm expecting too much of myself. Maybe I should take a break? I don't know, I'm just feeling incompetent. I usually lose a lot of enthusiasm in the colder months so I'm just gunna chalk it up to that.

Take a vacation and relax. I'm sure it'll help. Experience new things and meet new people. Might get your creative juices working.
