The *Official Photography Thread*

It's been a while.

 

Recent trip to buffalo. Tele lens full auto. Freezing cold day

 

Daughters last college race. A bestbtime

 

As a percentage of the population, not a significant demographic, but certain jobs do have a high percentage of Indians, primarily engineering.

First photo taken with off camera lighting. Sync speed could be faster but the Fuji is handling it without any hiccups this far. This is a cropped jpeg haha

No need for critiques at this point haha I just figured out how to make the lights and camera talk. When I get more time I'll put it into learning more.

 

Thank you very much Ian, it is appreciated.

 

great looking pup! my new camera will be here fri.. cant wait to start taking pics of my GSP. lets see more!

 

Rad beard Chaz!

 

The first two are so overprocessed that they look like paintings, especially the first one.
I would not have voted for that one to be first.

The second one isn't quite so bad, but it could have been toned down just a smidge and it deserved #1.

The rest, simply beautiful work.

 

I almost missed this. Thank you! haha

 

Thanks!
Chaz I'm jelly of the beard. I am participating in mustache march. Mine is so trashy.

 

Haha it takes a while to commit. Beards go good, bad, good, bad in stages. Stubble, good, scruff, looks nasty, short beard, looks good, shaggy, looks like a hobo for a while, then big beard = man. Commitment haha it takes time.

 

Haha. I grow no hair below my nose. My wife calls it the reverse Hitler. Ridiculous.

 

I do a reverse "Paul Senior"

Bald strips from the corners of my mouth down my chin and neck.
I still need to shave there, as it grows a little fuzz, but it only comes in dark enough to look like shit if I don't shave it.

Nice thing is it makes for a nice "border" for trimming up around the goat... made more difficult by the straight razor.

 

x2 beards FTW. I got complimented on mine tonight by a cuuuuttttee girl. Works at Boeing i guess..haha

also, cool photo Chaz. Didn't know you got a fuji?? makes me want to dive into flashes more..but..can't afford it yet.

 

I'm checking it out. i want to test all the major mirrorless systems that appeal to me before deciding which one to commit to. I tried the micro four thirds and it was ridiculously fast to focus and the 5 axis IBIS was like black magic or something, BUT the files in low light were just too weak. I'm pretty sold on the Fuji, but I haven't ruled out anything else yet.


yongnuo yn-560 iii flashes are like 70 bucks . . .

and the LumoPro lp180s are pretty much as good as it gets with manual flash and they're about 200.

One flash will do ya ha

 

ahh gotcha.

70 or 200..thats a lot of dough..haha for me..especially for the toys i am saving up for Frankenstein

 

200 is a lot haha 70 is a couple nights out that I could easily skip ha


of course I tell myself that and then don't cut back on anything after I buy junk I shouldn't . . .
