So just trying out my new camera. Only thing worth taking pictures of was my cat [img]http://gyazo.com/dbe8eae74e3d11eb834bee92b99b4bbd.png[/img]

the man at asda must hate me because he lopped off half my photos, and they look generally noisy and shit. Thats what comes of using cheap kodak ISO400 film I guess (only a quid). Anyway, most of these are shit by your standards, but it's the first roll i got developed and I have never shot manual before (manual focus and aperture, camera can auto expose) [img]http://i.imgur.com/mgBwq.jpg[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/vGK1p.jpg[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/bYWc0.jpg[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/f4BkX.jpg[/img] [img]http://i.imgur.com/ronOn.jpg[/img]

The grainy feel actually gives the second picture it's own style.

I didn't add any grain or do ANY post, these were straight onto imgur just resized.

if anyone is good with cc, can you do so? because i'd like some on my photos. It's all about learning

Looks like you've got a good handle on it. Just remember to stay aware of large chunks of color on the borders of your frame. Don't cut things off, even if its just in the background. You've probably heard it before, but composing a photograph is like cutting shapes of colored paper and arranging them. e.g: The top of the '3 car stop' sign is cut off.

Oh yes, didn't see that. And the viewfinder in this thing is so BIG. When I try out the EOS 1000D, i'm like, what this is tiny and dull. Damn crop sensors and pentamirrors!

I've developed $10 film with $10 special processing and still gotten my film fucking cut in the middle.

It's, just like yours is, my main source of money spending. The problem is though that I have just too much other things to buy and pay for that are more needed like a car. I'm not poor, I just have other priorities at the moment. Which I don't like, but that's life at the moment.

[QUOTE=squish;26189232]What camera are you using? Unless it's the lens; everything is so clear.[/QUOTE] I have a 500d with a 1.4 50mm.

[QUOTE=Adius Shadow;26190606]OMG bopie you are me but instead you are bopie[/QUOTE] I read that as "you are me but instead you are a bopie" I instantly started thinking of a "bopie" would be. First thing that came to mind was Bert and Ernie.

I like the last one alot

Bit noisey, but no tripod so I set it ontop of my car. Pretty cool as the sky was pretty dark.

[QUOTE=H4Z3Y;26195807]if you cropped the car roof out of the shot then it could look pretty incredible! i love shooting in the morning, best time of the day![/QUOTE] You think so? the ice, despite out of focus just makes it pretty cold, my fingers was numb when I was done and I wasn't out 5 minutes. Totally agree! :)

Too big and heavy and expensive to justify buying it for my use, I'd get the 200mm 2.8L for FF as a "short" tele probably if I needed one.

Here is two shots I took while I was on vacation in London. And no, I'm not doing the black and white = instant artistic. I just feel that the colors are distracting and takes the focus away from what I want to achieve with the picture.

First one. :love: I like how the guy is barely noticeable and your gaze slowly settles on that corner.

i've always wanted to do photography but lack any money to do so this is a phone pic i took out of boredom [url]http://imgkk.com/i/km-e.jpg[/url]

But the composition is great! And I love the tones and the feel it has. But why would you put (your?) name on it like that? It kinda ruin it.
