The next shots we're shot inside a manor house and i had problems finding the right exposure which resulted in my filling up a 4GB card with under or over exposed shots and then picking out the few that looks alright.

Hey guys, i don't know if this is the right place to ask this. But do any of you know about this camera:

Sorry for the absolute shitty quality.

It's my father or grandfathers old camera, i just want to know if it has any value?

[donhonk]

I read that as Fucky II.

Feels kinda disconnected, would be better if I could see some of the ground (even in the background). Also the colour of the bricks is bothering me, but there's only so much you can do in post. Like the idea and the pose though.

[Kabscure]

Hey guys, beginner here. How am I doing?

[Inzalonus]

the scene is nice, but that lens glare really ruins it for me..

also, loving the colour style bopie, but I feel the shot could have been a little better framed, not super fond of the angle personally, it makes it feel a bit rushed IMHO, i dunno whether other people will agree with me on that or not though, so don't take my criticism onboard right away (honestly i'm really kind of unsure how I feel about it myself)

[editline]26th August 2012[/editline]

gah looking at your guys photos and thinking of critique makes me want to get back into creative photography, no longer have a dslr for the time being though, have to save up and actually buy one now :(

Thank you very much I have to move to New Zealand now because of your magnificent pictures what a dick-move to post such awesome pictures here srsly are you trying to ruin me?

A shame the perspective of the boat picture isn't a bit better, would look cooler if the boat sillouette wouldn't vanish in the background.

[Trogdon]

[QUOTE=Sirrus;37416171]I like how whenever someone voices dissent about literally any aspect of Blaze's pictures they get disagrees/dumbs/generally bashed.[/QUOTE]

Or maybe there's nothing wrong with her eyebrows?

[Killuah]

Haha yea have a look up close.

[editline]26th August 2012[/editline]

She basically shaved off the complete outer half of her eyebrow and drew it on way up higher.

[editline]26th August 2012[/editline]

Here I drew where eyebrows normally are

[editline]26th August 2012[/editline]

[IMG]http://i.imgur.com/PVyXB.png[/IMG]

[Inzalonus]

yeah I personally really dislike that look because you get the double brow effect of a browline and then an eyebrow on top of it

people like that tend to look a bit scary IMO, no disrespect intended here just sharing my opinion

[BlazeFresh]

her eyebrows may be a little out of whack but hey who actually gives a shit

[Killuah]

I do.
And they may not, they do.

We set up a party at the end of a forest right out against the beach. It was completely dark, and we had only candlelight. Funfact: That striped covering to the left is an old parachute.

I'm not really a fan of these 'collages' so to say, but even so, the thing that bothers me is that it's a bit messy. The model you have there is very busy. On top of that, it doesn't have big, recognizable lines like a human body has but instead it has lots of small lines. It's not immediately obvious as to what part you are looking at. The pictures themselves look nice and clean though
