[QUOTE=Zeemlapje;46081365]put focus where you expect it to end up with your desired composition and then use your feet to finetune?? [editline]26th September 2014[/editline] maybe this is also a good moment to try more conceptual photography??[/QUOTE] Photo series of images all focused at infinity - potential
[QUOTE=Him1411;46081418]Photo series of images all focused at infinity - potential[/QUOTE] do everything at nearest focus & wide open
Great shout, will keep these in mind
The 35mm you've got probably hits hyper focal pretty easily, so there's that
buy a trip 35 u can focus it with one hand
i have a (sort of) job on day two of said job i got put on autocad duty (having never used it before) and am now drawing some p important drawings that outline the demolition of a rail tunnel that runs under a canal (and will have trains still going through it for most of the demolition) this is a bit overwhelming [editline]26th September 2014[/editline] also this job isn't even what i studied lol
autocad owns once you get the hang of it. never used it after quitting my landschape & garden architecture education.
i'm working at royal mail edinburgh mail centre

I guess this kinda explains why half the time we open up a file and find shit like floors that aren't connected to the rest of the building. Also coincidentally stabbed myself in the hand today with a paring chisel but nowhere near as bad as Him1411, shit sucks dude.

[QUOTE=Him1411;46081089]come leeds for a weekend bro :) update on my stab wound: surgery went good but its a worst case scenario. I managed to snap a tendon and cut another in half so my hand is completely out of action for 6-8 weeks. No photography at all :( [editline]26th September 2014[/editline] this fucking sucks[/QUOTE] be diligent with your rehab you only get one shot at this
I just watched the documentary "Finding Vivian Maier" and i think that she is by far my favourite photographer, to me maybe even the greatest.
If you see her contact sheets, her hit rate is actually obscene. [editline]27th September 2014[/editline] Focus, timing, framing, content. [editline]27th September 2014[/editline] All perfect.
[QUOTE=Uber|nooB;46083930]did they appreciate your bag[/QUOTE] no but i get an id card

[QUOTE=codenamecueball;46080210]also just broke up with my gf and she's hurling all kinds of abuse at me at the same time as making me feel bad and it's so immature but i can't help feeling like the arsehole sorry to bring the thread down just wanted to say something[/QUOTE] lol wtf you are one of the most likeable people I've encountered here on FP dude

Guys could I have a little advice please Im shooting a LAN party that my brother organises in a weeks time, it has a average attendance of around 30 people. He wants me to come down to shoot for some pictures on their website. But im a little scared, This is the first time I will be shooting in that kinda enviroment. I know bumping up the ISO is going to help capture light but im sure that they want some quality in the pictures. This is probably the same enviroment I will be taking pictures in (lots of neons etc) [QUOTE][IMG]http://zeropingheroes.co.uk/wp-content/gallery/lan10/dsc_0336.jpg[/IMG][/QUOTE]
why do lens reviewers take such terrible photos. i stumbled across this while researching the samsung system (just wanted to see how their lenses compared with sony's) and these have to be some of the least interesting photos i've ever seen. the worst part is that they are not even telling of lens performance!!! [url]http://www.thephoblographer.com/2013/05/25/review-samsung-16mm-f2-4-samsung-nx-mount/#.VCZFRxbgwc8[/url] i want to do lens reviews, i just need to find the time and format a website for it
You absolutely have the knowledge for it bro. Go make some money doing so.

The review is a technical thing, rather than artistic. But I get what you mean by how they don't even show lens performance, at least have showing stuff like sharpness wide open, closest focus distance, flare performance, etc. [editline]27th September 2014[/editline] I think he wanted to show off how the bokeh looks in random conditions. [editline]27th September 2014[/editline] What the fuck am I saying.
