    I disagree, the leaves in the front add more interest instead of a boring portrait of someone in front of a green background. If they weren't there, it would almost look like a school photo of some sort.
    Yes, but it could be positioned better.

    That being said, I'm just saying what little crit I have of the photo, it's excellent nevertheless.

    tried messing with RAW data, making bigger changes to temp, exposure, vibrance and stuff like that. trying to make pics look nice without treading into tacky/cliche/overdone territory. also did HDR but im afraid im overdoing it esp with the "another cheap HDR pic" one of the field and the sky.

    That's awesome you caught that.

    The second feels a bit overexposed/washy. The first one is pretty good about that.
    I used startrails.exe to see how well it does the startrail thing, and that was the result.

    Tried something a little different, straight up portraiture.

    I like it, very nice colours, but I can't help but notice the amount of noise in the image. A little noise reduction wouldn't hurt. I can't decide whether or not I like the foreground leaves. Oh well, it's a great picture so that's what matters.

    I can't wait until I finish working. By August, I would have worked 49 days out of the last 56. With an average shift of 12 hours a day.

    Bring on the summer. Looking forwards to being able to edit and post the shit ton of a backlog I've built up in the past few months. Big Love guys.

    P.S. I know there's a greenish/yellow colour cast, but It's been edited as part of a bigger series for my colleagues at Wimbledon to be put on facebook. They love that hipster shit innit.

    Hey guys.. it's been some time since I last posted here.
    I haven't touched my camera for a few months now.. but just two days ago I went to Italy and had some nice days.
    Spent the better half of today reading through this thread (currently at page 66) and you guys just posted amazing pictures.

    I ditched flickr in favor of 500px and made a small Userscript that gives me the flickr style bb code:


    Italian streets by LuaStoned on 500px

    Will post the finished script tomorrow along with some other photos.
    G'night!

    ..Do you guess if it's going to be exposed or not? Like, this has always bothered me. Is film different to digital in this respect?

    well my camera has a built in exposure meter but it doesn't work, assuming the batteries for it are just flat then it will be fine when i get some more but other than that it's all guess work!

    If the camera was made after the late sixties, it will probably have a (maybe working) light meter. That or get a separate, hand-held light meter.

    However with film you can still capture a lot more information if you over/under expose than with a digital sensor. Depending on how much over or under exposed the photo was, and also depending on the film, if you scan it right you still get all the data and can make it look like it was almost fine.

    Edited:

    In other words if you have to guess it it can still turn out fine

    Edited:

    For example, disposable film cameras usually have a single pre-set shutter speed and aperture size, and you can still get usable photos in different lighting

    Not sure how I feel about the missed focus on the eyes. I like the jacket being sharp and the photo works like that, but I just have a subconscious need for the eyes to be in focus!

    Either way, dat expression. And the hair fix with her fingers like that is coooool.

    my first attempt at panoramic. I took this hand-held though:



    I plan to do better ones in the future, and with a tripod



    I should probably increase the exposure a bit, but, I already spent a lot of time on it, I'm going to bed.

    A little back story on that photo of my friend, Zoe. Zoe absolutely HATES her photo being taken, you can't even imagine the difficulty of getting a photo of her! We were sat in photography class, I was fiddling with my camera and she was sat doing some annotations on her coursework and with her head down I decided to focus on her but I couldn't seem to get a decent focus on her hair so I focused on her jacket. With the aperture being on f/5.6 I thought it would keep everything in focus but turns out it didn't! As for the pose, her fringe is at a length that when she looks down to write it flops onto her work so she holds it back with her non-writing hand, this is something she's always done and is a bit of a characteristic of her now and once I had everything ready to take the shot I said her name and in the moment she looked up I clicked the shutter. The moment she saw the camera she covered her face and looked down so the shot you see is literally the split second of her reaction time between her eyes looking down the lens and then hiding away and because of this I was so dubious of whether the shot would come out because of how fast she hid but it came out perfectly. Probably the luckiest candid shot I've ever taken.

    It does have one but it's either broken or just flat batteries. How would i go about sorting it out, the roll that had the one shot i wanted that was underexposed has already been developed but i have the negatives

    use the sunny 16 rule to calculate exposure. if it is sunny outside, your aperture will be f16, and your shutter speed will mimic your film speed. so if you were using 200 film, it would be something like 1/250 and f16. then just calculate your exposure from there, like wanting wider aperture you would lower the shutter. so you end up with 1/1000 (typical top for film cameras of the 70's) f5.6.
    or just use your g2 to get your exposure, and calculate your camera accordingly. mirrorless are good for lightmetering as you get a good idea of what it will look like without following the built in meter
