pictures too big? i can never tell on my fucking monitor..

mike: slightly, yes

[ayn]

hmm... move the flash off camera man... or at least soften it a bit to get higher quality light...

[tweeds]

^ a little too big, but that third and fourth are nice portraits.

[__Nicholas]

thanks for the advice ayn, yea they were pretty interesting to photograph.. running around nonstop and being super hyper..

[bph]

the beginnings of a collection:

nice garage sale pickup, DUM,

but i would recommend ditching that Series E lens and picking up the standard Nikon 50 f1.8, or moving up to the 1.4.

build quality and sharpness will be much better, and you can get them used on keh.com for super cheap.

[Guest DUM]

Dope, thanks.

[tweeds]

the photography post falls to the third page...? is this even possible

some old snaps with a cheap compact:

terrible composition but i thought i'd just post them up anyway.

Pink actually the shot of all the kids (school?) is pretty good. The one with two girls looking back to the camera...If you would have cropped the table in the fore ground and crop right behind the girl with her hands to her mouth thrid row.

I did my first photo shoot recently. Well, pretty much the first time I have taken "planned" pictures of anybody. It happened in an art studio on the UCSC campus which, thank goodness, has somewhat decent lighting. They are my friends band, Bear on Bear.

That was taken with a 24mm. The head shadow is killing me in this one.

And that with a 50mm.

All in all I shot 4 rolls of film for a total of 145 pictures. The band was definately happy with them so it was a success! One thing I need to remember is that if I want to make 8x10s then I can't have people right up until the edges of the photo.

Print full frame.

[malsponge]

and then cut off the white borders that are left? I suppose I could do that. I think I will actually

[airfrogusmc]

Most documentary actually use neg carriers the are larger than the negs so you can see the edges of the frame. I say always try and crop with the camera/lens and if the image needs to be cropped then crop but try and compose when the image is shot. If you print full frame you're not compromising your vision. Some of my favorite photographers and their images are ones that use the edges of the frame in their compositions.

newest I thought were ok...

first two PSed.

a trash can with legs..

First two are with a Canon Rebel II G i think the model is. with the stock lens.

The rest are with my AE-1, either with a 28mm wide or a 100-200mm zoom. Not sure.

Could be better but whatev, it was some of my earlier stuff, i have like 4 rolls waiting.

Anyone know what to do for an FD mount if it's giving me shit and not locking on properly? I have such a hard time and it's my favorite lens. thanks

I'm feeling this one. Great alignment and symmetry... there's a lot of detail and interesting things going on in this photograph...

[Carl]

I echo sid's comments.

You should post more sol.

Appreciated. When I saw this building from across the street I instantly feel in love with

it. So glad I had my camera with me, since as of late I've been too lazy to lug around

my DSLR but hopefully this photo will motivate me to start shooting again (I've been

uninspired for quite some time).

I echo sid's comments.

Thanks, appreciated as well. And if you ask, you shall receive. More vertical shots..

Posted these in the creation thread, but it looks like they belong in here.
