demuire Posted August 26, 2004 Report Posted August 26, 2004 [macho voice impersonation]you can perve on me anytime, babe[/macho voice impersonation] :unsure: Wow. That's a fair bit :D AND I get to perve on girls too? Hey Wyldephyre, when are we going to get that studio downstairs set up? :poke: Oh well I suppose if the opportunity came up to give it a go I'd be happy to, although to start of with I think I'd probably do it for free or not much just to get some experience etc...
wyldephyre Posted August 26, 2004 Report Posted August 26, 2004 Hey Wyldephyre, when are we going to get that studio downstairs set up? :D Soon as someone clears the shit from it? It's a bit cramped there, actually, but the garage where HAL sits would make a better studio, as it's deeper.
demuire Posted August 26, 2004 Report Posted August 26, 2004 Hmm, we could take photos of Hal in there, then we could take photos of chicks in there, and then we could take photos of chicks and Hal in there, and then we could bring the fun over to the boulder wall and set up a harem :D
TOMsGPTurbo Posted August 27, 2004 Author Report Posted August 27, 2004 Hey can I get some feed back on my photos, where could I be doing things better? what area should I concentrate onto? Any tips ?
demuire Posted August 27, 2004 Report Posted August 27, 2004 Tom: I believe the key to it all (as is the key to virtually everything else I suppose) is practice, practice, practice, experiment and then practice summore. Judging from the photos you've posted up on this thread, I've noticed that some of them tend to have a very soft focus - was this intended? There're quite a few books/websites that talk about what makes a "good photo", including all aspects such as lighting, lines, composition (rule of 1/3rds etc), depth of field, among others - maybe have a look at a couple. Once you know what you want your photo to look like, then you have to learn how to get the camera to replicate that - again books etc will help, as will experimentation with different settings. Learn to use the apature, shutter speed etc to your advantage, and for bright daylight shots try to use a polorising filter and see how that changes the picture. But at the end of the day, photography is an art, and as with any art there aren't any real strict "rules" - only guidelines. One other thing you could do is look at photos that you like, and try to figure out what it is about the photo that you like. Then next time you see a subject in a similar setting, you know what to do to take a photo that you know you will like :)
TOMsGPTurbo Posted August 27, 2004 Author Report Posted August 27, 2004 Thanks fook, I have taken your advice on brushing up on some tech stuff. I have been out of practice for about 6 yrs now :) Today I actually went to the local forest and took some pics however nothing of interest to post up on here. As for the soft focus, it is intended in some shots however not in others, such as budha b/w photos.
