[QUOTE=Him1411;34681137]how have you made your own fish eye ?[/QUOTE] I can't answer for him, but I made one out of a door peephole. Its kinda like a souvenir, I bought it from a coffee shop in portland for three bucks. I just sawed down the peep hole threading a bit, and then screwed it onto a paper clip, and then duck-taped the paper clip to my lomo lc-a. Works like a charm

Can someone please explain the technique of these "Float" pictures, i love every single one of them and It would be cool to try my own.

Warning: Blogpunch Hi everyone, about the last time I posted I was frantically trying to save my relationship, I wasn't successful. The person above is probably the closest friend I have right now, after my girlfriend dumped me she was right there to pick up the pieces even if it meant putting her own relationship in jeopardy. And yet she wants nothing in return. I snapped this while I was experimenting with Magic Lantern, without her consent or else she surely would have never let me take a photo of her. (She hates how she usually looks in them.)

cheers for the input about the fish eye:) i might try and acquire one! also, my last dump was on the bottom of the last page could i still get some crit?

[QUOTE=Airdoo;34682487] I think it's a three stage process, one of the background, then one of the subject supported by something and then you photoshop the two together.[/QUOTE] I had guessed that much, I saw a really cool photograph of a guy going into the wind, with his son clinging onto his back. It was done in a similar manner, he put him across to chairs i think. Love the photo of your friend. Also, I feel for you bro, have a heart. Also, is that a sony tv you have there by any chance? Could someone post there original images in a sequence to show how it's done?

set your camera to manual to avoid exposure changes shoot jpeg to make editing easier take two photos, one of you on your support and one with you and the support removed IN THE SAME POSITION. gotta use a tripod [img]http://i.imgur.com/RJjvm.png[/img] straight out of camera there quick mask yourself without your supporting brace then paste into your original photo, play with burning for realistic shadows and hopefully it comes out well [editline]13th February 2012[/editline] flatten when you're happy and then play with curves and exposure etc

Does a 365 day project have to have a particular theme? Also, mother keeps buying new flowers.

I usually always shoot in JPEG. It's because I only have a 2 GB SD Card. :(

I didn't realise photoshop had a preview (with processing sliders) function until I was over at BlazeFresh's place.

I shoot JPEG because I am running out of HD space and I like putting my pictures on flickr strait from my camera.

Editing is good. Like you said before, posing isn't the best, but I'm sure with practice you can nail something you feel comfortable with. Only thing is focus on those leading lines in the rest of your frame. I can see the potential in the background.

[QUOTE=Pickwickian-;34683768]Once you process is that into jpeg?[/QUOTE] Correct. I don't mind JPG compression (it's minimal anyway), it's just getting the exposure and color data out of the RAW's that I'm concerned about.
