I'll bet! I always end up paying out the ass or finding it on CL because I can't stand the wait lol

thanks for the kind words guys

Facebook will almost always ruin the quality no matter what size so i never resize them anymore. Ive even uploaded a picture resized using flickr and it still messed up the quality. If you want to try it though just resize it to 640x480 which i think is the default size and use the specific sharpener in photoshop for resizing...I forget what its called.

I don't upload to facebook for that reason, also there's this part of their terms of service: http://consumerist.com/2009/02/facebooks-new-terms-of-service-we-can-do-anything-we-want-with-your-content-forever.html

basically... once you upload it to them, it's theirs. So don't upload your photos to them.

joelz, where was the first pic taken? it's incredible

first pic was at a sufjan stevens concert in prospect park (brooklyn), they threw out all these clear balloons into the crowd (which is why I have so many photos of them) and during a slower part of the song people were holding them waiting for him to bring it back up to speed.

^loving the first two of both posts! I'm not a portrait photographer, so I don't have any experience bur I can say #1 in post 1 is great!

[FabGeek]

Thanks Lax, the person I'm working for wanted a morning glow like look (which I actually like a lot) so I've been working on rim lighting etc..

[ThinFinn]

^yap...just posted it cuz of that

not really feeling the pic since it was made in a hurry and is actually not that interesting, but i love that bokeh/lens...so expect some more pics in the near future

[laxlife1234]

Word, I will be getting my lens in the next hour (whenever my mom gets home). More than super stoked. I am about to pee myself from excitement.

What lens Thinn?

Nikon AF-S Nikkor 35mm 1:1.8G

[laxlife1234]

Loved the 35 1.8. Thats the lens that really got me into photography. When i had the kit lens i was just kind of just shotting around but the 35 1.8 made me start thinking about composition and depth of field.

Guess so? But I got to start taking a lot of pictures. Only took about 10 so far, and they are all low light w/o IS (isn't offered), so most of them came out a bit shaky
