    love the first and second ones!^

    also, contennnnnnnt!:D











    thoughts anyone? :)
    YOu got 2 artistics and a winner.

    I like the last one, but the sloped horizon distracts me a bit, but that's just me.

    The one of the dog is a bit too blue, if you shoot in RAW try upping the temperature slider.

    I really like the textile picture, the shaddows are really interesting. Spot on.

    I like cats. So I like your cat picture. Nice composition and the eye is pretty creepy. Provokes an emotion so I would consider that a win.


    TO those worried to post.

    DONT FUCKING WORRY.

    This community is brilliant for learning and getting critique, thanks to all you guys iv'e learned alot more than I could by just reading articles and shit. Plus on facepunch, not many peopel know eachother so are not biased in what they say.

    Post away.

    I'm pretty sure Nikon uses 2.5mm plugs for the release cables, you could probably make a really long one for real cheap.

    I wasn't allowed to get close but even when I did, a dragon would come out of nowhere and head-butt me.
    Fun stuff though. I've been wanting to switch my stock lens with a 50mm; I have the currency I just need to persuade myself now

    I like it, but it's dangerously underexposed, give it a bump because at the moment it lacks any highlights and I can barely make out your face.

    in class teacher was complimenting all the photos I took that I thought were shit,
    mostly ones of my cat. apparently the entire class agreed they were well composed and shit (where as they were just snap type photos)

    then she got to the ones I would be comfortable actually sharing anywhere other than that, needless to say I had the cat in the bag.

    I bought a 3rd party one, but I looked into it and there's no menu option for remote trigger, and people on other forums have confirmed that there isn't wireless functionality with the d3100 :(
    Stupid Nikon. It worked on the D3000 and older/cheaper models, so I assumed Nikon installed it on D3100 too.

    I think your monitor is set up way too dark, i can make out his face, although it is a bit undersexposed, i tihnk it would ruin the effect if he brightened it though.

    If I won the lottery I would supply everyone here with colour calibrated monitors.

    Thankyou so much for the critique man! i might actually start shooting in RAW but ive never attempted it before so i wouldn't really know what i was doing
    RAW is a bit of a daunting prospect to most people who have never used it before, but once you start you will never look back. One of the main things i love about it is that you don't have to worry about your white balance setting at all! RAW is just, how do I put it.. Just the raw data of what the camera has captured, there is no processing at all, so all the work the camera does to create the Jpeg, you have to do yourself.

    I really think you should try it, it's pretty easy to get the hang of. :)

    3rd, 7th and 8th are my favourites wickerman! the colours in the 3rd one are truly awesome! the 7th looks like a snapshot from a game in my eyes, like crysis or battlefield, on max settings; and the 8th just looks so sharp around the hill/mountain, really good composition too!

    well done mate!

    also, in regards to the RAW capturing: is there anything i should take into account? im going to start shooting in RAW more from now on so i want a heads up in what i should be doing when editing the RAW files

    Don't go overboard on the sliders! Temperature is important too, that's what can give a photo a nice warm feeling. Don't worry if your picture looks cold, it can easily be fixed in RAW. Good luck!

    Also, thanks :)

    Very central, but somehow it works. Nice job!

    Although the red could do with a boost, but only a little! Or the could just be me, as I am a bit colour-blind :/

    Ah i never noticed. I had fixed it, it was alot worse. See i was doing the splits while taking this, my feet spread out wide, loosely clinging on to some rocks with a huge patch of water beneath my arse. If i had fallen i would of got soaked. I was holding the camera down between my legs so I wasn't able to look through the viewfinder.

    Thankfully i got the shot I was after :D

    Edited:

    Taken with a Nikon D70. Man i loved that thing, was the first camera I started on. Eventally my dad bought himself the 5D, but Now i can use it and the D70 had to be given to my sister for her photography unit in her art course.

    Edited:

    Took my favourite lens too.. 40-100mm Macro. It was orgasmic.

    I was wondering the same thing. Having the subject in center is comforting to me. I like it Blazer. The model's posing and clothing is just very.... What's the word...

    yeah idk why people stress rule of 3rds so hardcore. it's more of a guideline than anything. on facebook someone complained about this picture
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/6375531...in/photostream
    and told me to use rule of thirds
    even though it does because it's the middle third of the frame :|

    I'm not trying to say it's a bad photo, i love it, it's just I've always been taught not to put things dead centre. Sorry if i caused any offence.

    Edited:

    I don't stick to the rule of thirds religiously, but i subconsciously do it. Which can be annoying sometimes

    That's what I was getting at. Restrictive ideas like these just limit your thinking.

    I've seen so many good photos with dead center composition. Avoiding centered comps is really more a 'beginners tip' to get people to actually think about what they're doing, other than that it's bullshit.
