He was actually a really nice guy haha, I just asked him if I could get a quick shot of him and ended up talking to him and his girlfriend for like 10 mins, so yeah hes a pretty cool guy, 10/10 would meet again (plus his gf is insanely hot/cute)

His bodyguard looked like he wanted to catapult me through the wall but I guess that's his job

[QUOTE=Jookia;38612608]Any tips for night time colours?[/QUOTE]

always go with what you think looks good.

these are pretty good, but sometimes it's good to remember to preserve natural beauty, so keep that in mind when making drastic changes.

also, "I turned my bokeh up to 11 and got this." you set your *f-stop to 11. or you set your lens to f/11. bokeh's just the effect of blurred lights n shit in the background ;)

i had an HDR assignment for one of my classes, i tried to do it but not overdo it. overall i thought it came out alright, sky looks bad but the building came out nice. the pole sucks though.

watched a guy puke today, was pretty, man. everyone around me was gagging, trying not to puke, and looking away. the stench was pretty terrible too, he just finished eating cheetos and a burrito.

It just looks fake, while the building looks believable to an extent.

Your results are always so nice.

What scanner do you use and do you do any digital editing after the scan?
