COOL and yuck... what is that last one, on wait I don't want to know!

[Neo_God]

Yeah, it's like one of those "guess what this is" things you see on the back of science magazines for kids.

[notman]

That last one looks like someone using their laser pointer on their body somewhere. Can't tell where though. Maybe the palm of a hand?

Good stuff though. I like the image you created (first one).

Nipple? ewww

I'm getting frustrated with digital cameras, and I don't feel like a photographer while using them. I'm thinking about switching over to antique SLR's, and maybe one basic Digital SLR for design work. The film camera themselves are a bargain, made to last, and getting a roll developed and put on CD is cheap these days. Plus there's the added knowlegde of learning how to take great shots without 50 failed attempts.

My best from the past month:

I know what you mean Elysium, I have a Minolta SLR from 1976, which I've been dying to use, but first I'd like to also learn how to develop my own film.

[ElysiumGX]

The first home I buy needs to have a basement or attic for a darkroom, and a small studio. You can find B&W enlargers on Ebay.

[Chunkey]

I'm guessing that the last photo is an illuminated nipple.

mmmmmmmm nipple....

[JonMurphy]

Took this a couple of weeks ago, on the cycle into work. That boot is still there, although it was frozen into a puddle this morning.

I know what you mean, but cant say i agree, the difference for me is that with film you still get 50 failed shots, but you just don't know about it for a week untill you get it developed, also film tends to stop you experimenting as much as digital because it costs so much (relativly) to develop. I find my self taking more pictures i know will work with film so dont get to experiment as much as with digital, i would never have used diodes for lighting with film, but stuck to flash or 3 point lighting just to make sure i got some reasonable shots.

BTW very nice grasshopper, so difficult with living objects trying to get close enough without frightning them and still not swaying about more than a mm to keep them in focus.

"mmmmmmmm nipple...."

that just sort of rolls of the toung dosn't it? /images/graemlins/smile.gif.

AFA the pic goes I can't say what it is, but it is not mine /images/graemlins/smile.gif so it is safe...

[Toomas]

You work as a machinist in a dildo factory?? Judging by the green things.

Anyways digital is cool but pictures lacks the character that film based vintage cameras create.

[bearkub]

I have learned to enjoy using both my digital (Fuji S5000) and my ol' school Nikkon SLR. It's nice to have a digital camera, be able to take a quick framing shot, review it and then take a final shot with a traditional SLR, if desired.

I'll throw some digitals up here soon. I have some black and whites and I need to get developed.

Thats some really great work guys!
All I've got lately is this turtle I shot for texture refs the other day...

ryan this is dope!!

seriously thank you a lot bro
i saved almost the entire thing.

[notman]

That kid's awful young to be dying his hair /images/graemlins/wink.gif

Cool shots.

I've posted these before

Cool shots Chris. This one made me think of Terragen for some reason.

You need to vary those tree sizes more!

Scooby, those are great. Turtles are so weird they're cool.

[sal_manilla]

I don't have anything recent with my webstuff but I took this with my lil' Canon S30. The color is pretty right on, surprisingly. I noticed digicams have trouble with strong colors in bright light. My flowers n' such tend to bleed in bright sunlight. I wonder if the newer cameras have dealt better with that. Waddyathink? Nice post BTW, Tim. /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[sal_manilla]

OH, ERIC, I have to say those shots of the kids are excellent. /images/graemlins/smile.gif I like everybody's stuff. This is so cool. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[tpe]

I know Eric painted his sons hair just for the colour coordination /images/graemlins/wink.gif.

Bob that rose is a blooming beaut, but not possible to get those shots atm i guess? what is the temperature at the moment, any more snow to take pics of? we just got rim frost here, very pretty and all that but a bit cold to go out and take pics in, any other sugestions for subjects?

Chriss, i am sooo jelous, thats a real dream trip, i would also liked to have seen how quickly the nature changes as you go up the mountains.

[Eric Chadwick]

Thanks. He dipped the hair all by himself /images/graemlins/smile.gif

It's really cool seeing kids get into art, seeing the creativity bloom.

Show us more macro shots... love the grasshopper.

[Jay Evans]

does digi video count? just testing out some camera stuff and my bike.

[sal_manilla]

Tim, you're right, the roses are all gone. We haven't had any snow yet thank goodness. Subjects? My fav's have always been nature and landscape stuff. I also like to shoot airshows, hot air balloon fests. Large family gatherings are a hoot, too...you gotta get up on the people. My Dad always said to fill your eyepiece with the subject.

Hey, you're in Denmark, right. Aren't there lots of cool castles and ole bridges n' stuff. There's prolly tons of historic architecture to shoot not to mention Danish babes (don't tell Caro I said that to you...lol). /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[sal_manilla]

Hey, Jay, you into BF2? My clan has a bunch of guys from Canada, eh? We have an adult group with our own server and website. We're called [RCA] for Royal Coalition Assault. Take a look, here ----> http://www.rcarocks.com/ It's a great bunch of guys. Stop by for a game anytime. IP: 205.177.13.21: 16567 We're having our first match tonight at 8:00 pm but mostly play for fun. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

[Jay Evans]

sal, after working on it all day everyday, I usually don't get around to playing much at home. We have lots of internal playtests that fill my BF2 needs:) But I'll probably hit the servers a bit once special forces comes out. Thanks for the tip.

Cool sky, great composition.

Give the guy a little privacy though, eh?

[Mark Dygert]

kleinluka I really like that one, but the guy taking a leak kind of ruins it a bit =P

[Slum]

Ooh, nice fields, kleinluka.

Nothing too artsy about these, but they are my most recent photos. They are from Greenfield Village, which for those of you who don't know, it is a historical place that Henry Ford created to remember history. It has many buildings from the Wright Brothers and Thomas Edison, including Edison's invention factory and the Wright Brother's shop. Anyways, a couple things I thought you guys might like for modeling inspiration.

I'll use links to keep from killing the slower connections:

Mr Mitchel, that really good. The systhetic goes really well with the catapilla too, kind of suprised me, compasition is great too.

Sorry notman i can't help posting in line, it just makes it easier too see all the great images, i dont think you should have been hiding yours so well either, this is my fave http://www.centaurdesigns.com/Greenfield/100_0536.JPG because of the woman looking up, making you look twice at the alcove.

Here is something smelly

What is that? I was thinking a mushroom, but that doesn't seem to fit with the first image. Very cool texture though.

[MikeF]

Went for a latenight drive downtown last night, snaped a few pictures and this is the only one that turned out.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/Lexen/skyline.jpg

[sal_manilla]

Mike did you use a tripod for that shot? It's so hard to shoot real night shots with the digicams. Mine does have all manual....I'll have to try something like that. Any idea was your settings were? /images/graemlins/smile.gif

[MikeF]

I just freehanded it, that why the majority turned out so poorly. My camera has settings for night time, but the auto focus always turns off so theres no chance to get a clear shot unless your zoomed all the way out. I just tried a few on all my settings but auto focus worked best in the end.

[notman]

haha, cool, you're by me. I'm in the Detroit Metro area. I'd notice the Ren-Cen anywhere /images/graemlins/wink.gif
That city looks so nice from across the river.

[kleinluka]

lol that's funny. i never noticed he looked like he was peeing. He was walking in front of me and I just yelled STOP and he stopped and I quickly took a picture... the pose wasn't the most lucky one I guess :P

Here's an other one I took...

http://kleinluka.morphew.de/blog/da08.jpg

[notman]

wow, that's cool. Where was that taken? Plane? Or mountain?

[bearkub]

Man, this is some great stuff. I will throw up a couple goodies I took at a friend's wedding recently..

I tried to get the sun coming through the brightly colored leaves as much as possible, but it just got washed out from the sun (especially with no filters on...)

Seriously TPE what the hell is that last picture?
I would love to be able to own a camera, but i have no money. I'm not getting allowance anymore, can't blame my parents, i never really do much around the house anyways...As soon as I get a job,though...

[cholden]
