Not mine but i saw this on tumblr today. Blew my mind.

Feeling this one so much, stuff like this is why I got into photography. Im sure most people wont feel but this one means something to me.

Its your world kid

nah, I get it. that's the kind of photography that justifies the medium.

"its your world kid" - applies as much to the boy in the picture as it does to somebody with a camera in hand heading out and seeing things as if for the first time again...

tredd, smiggins - real nice. Fab, your portraits are really good! What are you using for lighting? Fadetoblack - that alleyway shot is sweet. Roey - hair-thin precise dof! What lens are you using?

Just farting around cuz I haven't been out much this week....

[FabGeek]

F2B one of my favorites by you

Thanks Riff, I use two speed lights..one was shot through an umbrella(above left) the other through a small beauty dish. (above straight ahead sort of bounced above us.)

Riff, what is that in the background a dandelion? That thing is ridiculously big! Cool shot.

Thinn..i feel the 1st picture (keep in mind it's all subjective so this is just my personal tastes) could have used a gradient layer of whatever processing you used so the bottom keeps some of the highlights. I really like the darkness of the clouds though. The 2nd shot is awesome...it looks like an exposure layer was used w/ a gradient map then masked a little? cool effect and of course it's star wars so it's awesome no matter what

Lax I love your vivid colors! The wide screen effect of the two black bars def. add drama to the photo

ruey, like Riff said..excellent DoF!

[riff]

Cheers Fab! When we first saw it - same impression - holy fuck that's a big dandelion! But it's some kind of seed pod, about the size of a baseball:

In the first pic, my daughter is holding one of the seeds - amazing filigree-ish detail!

Finn - I too would have liked to see more detail on the first. And is the second a B&W HDR?

thanks all for the positive feedback

[ThinFinn]

thin precise dof! What lens are you using?

if this is adressed to me, i have to say that i`m STILL using the kit-lense

thanks for the honest feedback (that`s what actually helps to step up your game in shooting and editing, so the more the better imo!)

yeah, now i see what you`re talking about. have to check the original pic but IIRC then the shot itself wasn`t the best, when we`re talking about quality and sharpness, so the details would have been blurred no matter what ...

and the 2nd shot was actually just one i took for fun and would have never posted. was bored yesterday and started to edit some shots that i wasn`t quiet happy with...so this is the result of this one.

[ThinFinn]

so how`s the feedback on this one?

[laxlife1234]

I think it is pretty good thinnfinn! It could look a little more HDRish towards the middle but if you made it anymore the right side would look a bit too HDR.

Btw, how many exposures did you use and what did you use to edit?

Ironically I also made an HDR b&w photo, but ill post that later.

have to check when i`m at home, sry...using PS to edit my pics...

[FabGeek]

thinn, I like the picture overall. I'm not to crazy about the halos..the clouds could have been brought out to make more 3d, and the right side could have been dodged a bit. Other than that it's pretty excellent. Was this shot in broad daylight?

[ThinFinn]

if u want to i can post the original shot, unedited in here as well tomorrow, so you guys can see what i did to it?

nothing spectacular though

[poly800rock]

thanks all for the positive feedback

what lens are you using with your g2 ftb?

[fade to black2]

just the 45/2...somewhere down the road i might get the 90 as well if i come across it. the 45 is enough for almost everything except in extreme close ups since it doesn't focus anything less than 0.5

from recent travels

lax - sry man, no more infos for you...

somehow i`m digging the hdr-look a bit...so more of it!

both of these are nice, if you were to get rid of the halo's, in my personal opinion, theyd look reallly nice, but that's just me.

some photos taken with mother's iphone.

[laxlife1234]

Just to add to the B&W HDR

And back to the regular photos.

Edit: I am going with an 85mm f/1.2 so I am just going to take the plunge with that lens
