This picture that you projected onto the wall. Did you took it in Australia?

its a camera obscure, the image projected is a 'live feed' from the outside of the window [editline]6th May 2012[/editline] [url]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_obscura[/url]

[QUOTE=B-hazard;35850206]After ridding of the crazy bitch I had the pleasure of calling my gf, I went on a date with a sane girl in Leicester square yesterday, took a few snaps on the way back but wasn't really pleased with any of them. [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/29758673/Photography/IMG_1155.jpg[/img] Couldn't find any parking spots so I had to find a back alley to park my bike in, yet I still got ticketed, the picture shows how out of the way my bike was. Worse, I got a bigger fine for parking it out of the way on the sidewalk, than had I parked it obstructing the road. Basically got the same fine for if I parked a fucking car in the middle of a busy pedestrian walkway. As[/QUOTE] I'm sorry but I absolutely hate it when people take pictures of homeless people or extremely poor people. It just feels so.. wrong. I understand photo journalism and all but taking pictures of people at their lowest without the intent to use the image in a way that would help doesn't seem right. It isn't getting a message out about helping the homeless, it just seems like it is exploiting them for an "interesting" shot. Not talking entirely about yours, Hazard, more this type of picture in general.

I just can't approach these street beggars, I once did and the guy told me his whole life in a few phrases and I walked away depressed.

There's this really awesome homeless dude right outside of base here in Okinawa. Every time one of us Marines goes up to him he says, "Fuck the CO (Commanding officer)" and then salutes with his middle finger. He's a fucking bad ass.

And now we know why he's homeless

I looovvveee that last one.

I saw some Epic Shots on the news this morning. I wish i got to the see a proper Super moon. My view was unchanged, it was just ridiculously bright.

Had to take my own prom pictures, was really happy with the way this one came out [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/63755315@N08/7151078601/][img]http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7202/7151078601_5fde24328f_z.jpg[/img][/url] [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/63755315@N08/7151078601/]DSC06398[/url] by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/63755315@N08/]AustinTroth[/url] theme was 20's so i tried to capture that look, though this is unedited

I pretty much failed at getting any decent supermoon photos, this is what I came back with instead.

Maybe it would be worth experimenting with the crop too.

I think it looks perfect the way it is honestly.

[QUOTE=B-hazard;35860077]Fix the blueish tone and perhaps add some vignette to stop the bottom being so distracting and you have a great shot. Maybe it would be worth experimenting with the crop too.[/QUOTE] everything you just described would change it from being an awesome shot to a really average shot of a tree also, why is it so fucking rare to see "professional" portraiture done [B]correctly[/B]? i've people spend hundreds on portraits with a black backdrop and a one point lighting source. or how about some random, super distracting location on a sunny day with the sun behind the subject? that shit flat-out amazes me.

I'm extremely new to photography, so I was wondering if you guys could give my shots some CC. [url=http://leet.cc/baker.png][img]http://leet.cc/t/baker.png[/img][/url] [url=http://leet.cc/duckling.png][img]http://leet.cc/t/duckling.png[/img][/url] Thanks!

Yes. Don't use PNGs.

[QUOTE=Jookia;35869580]Yes. Don't use PNGs.[/QUOTE] Okay, but what's wrong with .png?

png's are very large file sizes, and artifacting is generally not present in photos because of diverse colors

[QUOTE=Eyefunk;35869048]I'm extremely new to photography, so I was wondering if you guys could give my shots some CC. Thanks![/QUOTE] In the first photograph, you've made your subject clear and it looks nice with the blown out sky and glow around the edges of the pillars. I can't help but feel cramped however, with how close and cut off the table and chairs in the foreground are. The white balance has gave the image a light red/pinkish tone which you can edit easily. Think carefully about objects you are cutting off, and whether they detract from how you want to take the photograph. The duckling photo is quite cute, but I think the focus is just a tad bit off. While it stands out from the background, I can't help but think it would have contrasted more if you managed to photograph it walking on the green leaves in the middle. Careful of your framing, as you have a bit of the door frame/pillar (seems to be?) in the frame and it detracts in my view. At least the way you have placed it. Don't be afraid to move around, crouch and experiment with perspectives. As stated, use JPEGs. Keep shooting and have fun. I hand [url=http://www.photographymad.com/pages/view/10-top-photography-composition-rules][B]this article[/B][/url] out to people getting into photography as its very useful.
