Winter weather in summer, shit.

solid photo. I like the semi-diagonal line that stretches across the entire photo, good composition.

Steez in a pod

mass and fuuma look great here. who dat last uncomfortable looking dude?

No disrespect, but i dont think i like the over clarified light area surrounding the figure here. it tells me the photo was post-processed a little too much. what does the original look like? it is a good photo.. that light outline is rather distracting in my opinion though.

that would be a purposefully blown highlight on my face. no edits to exposure, sharpness or composition - just a small saturation bump and some contrast. pm me your email and i'll send an uneditted if you like.

here' another:

on my monitor there is some haloing around your body, which i believe is what he is referring to

2000db. Not uncomfortable, just offbeat.

Yea, I see some haloing too. Nice shot regardless.

ah, i just looked on my cpu instead of my iphone and you're right, damn. i'm going to have to look at that file again because usually haloing happens with fill light or brightness increases and i didn't make any...thanks for pointing out.

my new ride!

[rockon99]

yeah the haloing was what i was talking about. when i edit in paint shop pro occasionally, the "clarify" function can do that. so i try to stay away from that. anyways, nice shot.

quick question, which photography forum would you guys recommend? looking for a large, one-stop sorta forum, the biggest and best.

[juliaN.]

wish i could tell you man

i don't even have a proper camera save my cell phone

[Dex_star]

the only one that I still look at is photography-on-the.net

[Boston.]

if you don't mind spending $10 which I'll admit is sort of a waste of money - the Something Awful Creative Convention forum has a photography contest every two weeks and a Photo A Day Thread which attract the absolute best and some mediocre photography. Really wide variety of talent and lots of people willing to spend 5-10minutes typing up a response just so you can get better.

You can view the forum for free but $10 to post - here's the link to the February PAD which has quite a collection as the month is almost over...

photography-on-the.net if you are looking for somewhere that will be nice to you. fredmiranda is a great one too

[Dex_star]

On POTN, it seems like people are generally nicer and encouraging to people that are obviously a little newer to photography, while more critical with people who show experience....

With pics that are from amateur photogs comments are usually:

"Nice shots, keep at it"

While with higher quality work they tend to nit pick at all the details

idk what that big reflection/flare was from.. its pretty annoying though.

Im trying hard not to be angry at the sepia-esque tone my scanner gives black and white prints when i scan them.... obviously i could take it out, but i was trying not to edit too much since these are from negative film.

[rockon99]

forgot one:

[sunkenshoes]

^what scanner did you use? i'm looking to buy a film scanner.
