luhh that first one, good stuff

**BoSoZoku** · 8th April 2012

Spaaaaaam!

Hope you won't mind.

I might have a better chance of getting some C&C if I post it in both places. (posted in the Film thread also)

My second roll of film ever. (first one shot 2 years ago, it was utter crap)

I'm kinda happy with this. (they are in order of preference from top to bottom)

Sorry... by Emanuele Monaco, yep.

Run over by Emanuele Monaco, guess where!

Double sky by Emanuele Monaco, on the internet, crazy I know.

Corruption by Emanuele Monaco, more at 11.

Any thoughts? C&C?

(the last one looks/is a bit blurry I know and no it's not the lens it was the line that was wonky

fantastic shot

thank you. x)
was a bit hectic to get, they were perched on top of an abandoned car-wash facility. i originally just wanted a shot of them all standing on the ledge, but my friend thought it'd be funny to throw a rock, and ruin my shot. little did he know, it actually came out a lot better than he intended.

They all look sort of point-and-shoot-y, but I like the "run over" one.

Yep, sometimes it's good to shoot some concrete.

I got a new car. by millerroberts, on Flickr

I bought, tagged, titled, and drove home this car yesterday.

It's the first car that I have officially owned, paid for, all that jazz. It's gonna be fun.

Took a quick photo of it, but I need to promise myself I won't do it a lot, because car photography can be very boring.

Buzzing at 4 in the morning when this photo was taken.

Also, tried a Brenizer of my mate Avi while he was sleeping after a party on Friday:

Your Bren kinda failed with the door

Yup

Care to elaborate on why it looks point and shoot-y to you?

Is it the composition, the colors, subjects, quality? (Not trying to be an ass, I'm genuinely curious.)

For a second I thought the door had been tore open and I was wondering why there was a second door attached to the other side.

That explains it, also I just woke up so that doesn't help.

**Pickwickian-** · 9th April 2012

Part of it is actually the banister of the stairs poking out past the frame, so it looks worse than if actually is, if that makes sense...

Inzalonus · 9th April 2012

ah yeah I see how that works, makes it look like your door's been busted open
clever, nice shot

Edited:

so yeah, tunnels are pretty cool

but I dunno if I like the just black and white look, might mess around with that last one particularly some more and see if I can get a colour palette I like in it

alternate look, I guess

**BlazeFresh** · 9th April 2012

Pick did you do it manually or use photoshops automerge?

**Pickwickian-** · 9th April 2012

Automerge.

**Alcapwne** · 9th April 2012

I feel that that the road shots and the lamppost(?) shots feel a bit point and shooty. To me personally the issue is mostly composition, although too many road shots can wind up not being too exciting so I'd also put a small bit of the blame on the subject.

I do quite like your building shots though they feel a bit cramped. However I love the reflections of the window and the colours on the second one. I think you should aim to improve on composition though definitely.

I was actually doubting if posting the lamp post or not because I do feel that it's actually not a really good shot.

The "Run over" (the shot with skid marks) is actually wonky while it looked straight while shooting it (and I'm usually pretty anal about this stuff) but I kinda liked it so I posted it anyway.

For the rest consider that I was shooting with the camera for the first time and the viewfinder coverage is different to my main camera so I'm used to compensate and frame in a different way.

As far as being cramped it's usually just my preference, I like longer focal lengths and filling the frame.

I usually don't like distracting stuff and crap being in my photos so I rarely use wide angles I prefer to get tight on the subject.

One thing to consider though is that I usually shoot stuff that I like aesthetically (shapes, colors, lines etc.) instead of trying to tell a story or something so that could be why they can be a bit of hit and miss for others since they are mostly based on my personal taste.

Like say I had a fetish for hats (which I don't

) I would photograph hats, to me they would look awesome because well I love hats (in this analogy) but to everybody else they would just be hats, so only somebody else with a hat fetish would like them. (yes my way of explaining things is weird)

So basically I'm weird like that.

Thanks, but I find it funny as the lens is widely regarded as having awful bokeh (because it does).

I just like it in that specific image, the cellular look of it reminds me of some stuff that, in retrospect I probably shouldn't have done

It always confuses me when people say a picture has awesome bokeh when it's all donuts. People can't possibly think donuts look good, do they?

Must be the composition, or the subjects. The ones with the buildings look like snapshots or backgrounds, like an actual subject is missing (?), the one with the road is sort of boring (and slightly crooked which makes it ugly but that's just my opinion) and the one with the pole is alright but it remains a pretty boring subject.

I'm no expert, hell I don't even consider myself an amateur photog, but that's my opinion.

**massn7** · 9th April 2012

If any of you guys visit the firearms thread in GD then you've probably already seen this, but I thought I'd drop a shot of my new Browning Hi-Power in here and see what you all thought.

Still an amateur but I thought this turned out pretty good.

It kinda reminds me of this scene from a Gorillaz video:

Here's a shot I uploaded but forgot to post here, I really like how it turned out.
