The *Official Photography Thread*

That's pretty cool. There's a thread over on dgrin about a UK based photog about some of the steam trains.

There's just one problem and that's the lens flair in the first shot.

 

Yeah that 11-16 has some flair issues, but it was deal with it or dont get the shot, so I just tried to put the flair where it would minimize the damage. Sometimes the flair adds to the shot (or thats what us tokina guys say... LOL)

Thx

 

Get crackin' on your post processing

I'd crop it out.

 

Ok, no flair on these. LOL







LOL

 

Three really good images Colin! Love the first for the plane position and smoke in the sky.

 

Thx Ian.



Well I just ordered a Sigma 30 1.4 lens, I am doing a wedding next month and I needed something faster then my 2.8s and plus the 1.4 dof and bokah is sweet.

 

Hey Brent, I almost forgot your shots. I like the first one. it's a perspective you don't often see and that's of the observer looking off into the frame.

Looks a little cold outside.

 

Jeezus...

Photo sells for $4.3 Million

And it's not even a good photo IMO.

 

Other than the size you could have taken this on a P&S if you ask me.

 

lol 8 MP and above could easily do it.

at least the horizon is straight

I will never understand the snobby art world.

It doesn't make sense at all. I mean I know a handful of my shots i've been pleased with and all the others are meh...but I know for a fact I've got some way better shots than that. It's boring. Nothing going on at all.

Probably shot on a Hasselblad.

 

yep, some mega douche hipster that would say "you just don't understand man".

My 12 year old brother could take a better picture.

 

For sure. I don't get it either. My photo teacher was talking about stuff like this the other day.

 

Agreeing with us? Or was he "one of them"?

 

x2...i dont get it haha...hmmm this is giving me ideas...haha

 

He sometimes strikes me as one of them but will turn right around and then bash on em too. It's quite funny. Check out some of his stuff...he likes to shoot film quite a bit.

This is his blog.

His site/more of his work.

He's a funny guy but sometimes he strikes me as an idiot

 

He's got some good stuff

 

He's not bad at all, he's a pretty good teacher too. Very conceded though. He claims himself the best photographer in our area. its funny cause a girl in my class that considers herself a professional (shot with a powershot then upgraded to a Nikon D5000 and dropped it the first day ) but its funny cause she laughed in his face when he said that and he just looked at her. It was quite hysterical.
