The *Official Photography Thread*

Worked for a couple more before wigging out again haha

 

ah i wish the first one was level..haha love the detail though..

Are you going for that look in the second one? (Purple hues and such..)

 

I kind of like it crooked. I straightened it out and liked the uneasy feeling I got with it crooked haha


The last one was super quick so I could test Photomatix. I just went all whatever on it instead of trying to make it look super realistic. The purple was in the original sky though.

 

oh okay haha

 

yeah, yeah. the rules and stuff haha people don't have to like it

 

Its never about that only about what you like far as im concerned. Wouldn't be art otherwise.

 

It does technically look better like this "generally" speaking. Much more sterile. But I liked the other. Here it is level:




But yeah, I'm with you. I have what I like but I don't subject it on other people's styles. There are those that would go as far as to say that if you even edit or crop your photos you're not a "purist" and whatnot. Meh. It's art, as you said.

 

yea Art is personal...and appreciated later generally haha

Idk..im a bit OCD i guess..the thing that makes me like the "level" one is the back window and the corners of the room..but i know what you mean and are going for with the tilted look.

 

Practiced with the new lighting setup. My model for the night.





Which lasted about 10 minutes. lol

 

Very nice!

Okay..you all made me want to shoot something..but was well past dark outside...sooo...using a much different subject then any of us normally use and im trying my FD 85-300 manual focus too...and HDR..so...see what i come up with..

 

Monte my AF confirm adapter for the PK lenses showed up a few days ago and it actually works! you should look at one for your fd lenses, I mean for 10 bucks it is awesome to have focus confirmation. Shot so sweet stuff tonight and learned that that 70-200 is not my favorite range..., pics incoming when I get them finished

haha looks like fun Murph!

 

Really works huh? haha thats sweet. Im pretty sure they don't make em for FD lenses..didn't find anything like that when i was shopping around..might have to look again..or ill just get some K lenses haha

why didn't you like 70-200? i love macro..fun.

 

Look here man \/ bit more spendy than the PK adapters...

The 70-200 is good for "subjects" not stuff, I kept wanting to back up to get it all in the frame... I love macro too but it wasn't what I wanted to shoot tonight so i switched to the kit lens for some of the pics i'll post in a bit.

 

Well SOB..i bought the wrong freaking adapter... lol

and gotcha..takes a different mind set for sure..but i feel you..where you using the K 70-200 or the IS one?

 

lol, and you're usually the one to research the shit out of stuff!

I was using the Canon 70-200 f4 IS. The old pentax lens is getting neglected with the canon bling in the house lol.

 

i did! the one i bought was the most popular one...oh well..20/20 hindsight..haha

and can't say i blame you haha the one i just got from my 85-300 are kinda cool...not as sharp for sure..but..kinda cool.

 

Working on my term project for my promotions management class, going to shoot a 30 commercial on monday

 

Nice Tony That's actually a sweet shot haha

Edit: not like I expected anything less from you

 

ok, some of these are good and some im not sure about... I need to spend more time figuring out photomatix... The last four are HDR, non-HDR shots are with the Canon 70-200 f4 IS lens. These are all less than 10 min from my house.

 

I miss Wyoming

looks good man. The HDR ones...are a bit different..idk..seem HDR like to me so maybe they aren't so bad.
