Photography Post Vol. 2

the best way (and only way you should, if you want to avoid the Nylon/Paper/Vice anti-aesthetic that's so popular nowadays) to use flash is to bounce it, either off the ceiling of a nearby wall.

you can also use a synch cord and hold the flash away from the camera, so it looks a little more dynamic.

thanks

30d and a 24mm f2.8

i ended up forgetting my 580ex at home so i just used the on camera flash for all the band shots. i actually hate almost all of those shots to be honest and really regret forgetting the flash.

you know, compared to the arguments earlier (and in vol. 1), this thread is really shaping to be a very pleasant read.

I dont think they look bad, I suspected that you might've used the cam flash, but they still got a good vibe to them I think.

Pshhh, arguements are what make this thread!

As far as "party pictures" go, they will always be held up to this standard in my mind. My best friend Christian Hansen's story on his friends in Louisville:

Elyse Butler "Do something creative everyday"

So i went to a Russian Circus last night. It was a strange event so i decided to shoot it in a strange way...get out of my comfort zone more or less.

All pictures shot with direct on-camera flash (285v) with an amber filter and a two foot long piece of tinfoil snooted on the flash. It looked like i had a tinfoil gun that fired off beams of golden light every few seconds. It was fucking awesome. The results wernt the greatest, but i gotta try something new...

Carl just called dibs (no joust) on the extreme vigneette steez. I like how the effects work on some of the photographs. Since you can't see much, the empty space becomes such an integral part of the image while removing it from any context. Or something like that.

I'll post pillow fight pics and comic con pics later.

Carl, what digital camera do you shoot with?

[tweeds]

interesting results, Carl. a bit gimmicky if not used purposefully but i like how some of the shots turned out.

[Spaghettini]

Some images from the parade today.

The effect of your mods reminds me of a modified, elliptical Holga. The shots themselves are like some dark French carnival, where people have a tendency to disappear or turn up multilated and part of the freak show.

It helped that I was listening to Calexico's the Black Light when I read your post.

I didn't even notice that this was a guy getting his makeup done until my second glance. This caught moment of gender incongruity is great.
