1.8 ftw. That pano is really great! I love the blue/redish orange tones and the clouds.

IDEA

i picked up a pack of disposable cameras from goodwill a while ago. never used em. so i was thinking i take one take a shot or two then i mail it to the next person who wants it and they send it to the person in line after them and so on. anyone want in?

[GnarKill1029]

I'll do it

[TDOGG]

sounds like a cool idea.

[SACTO skim]

I think thats a interesting idea, count me in!

[erickdent]

what lens did you use for this sacto?

[Seanaldinho10]

im in!

[SACTO skim]

what lens did you use for this sacto?

Thats my 50mm 1.8, I just really like how the detail came out on my hand, I wish the bokeh was more interesting but I can always re shoot

im in. I just don't want to develop them just to be arrested for having taken pictures of a bunch of dongs.

rule #1- no dong shots.

As a person who used to work a photo developing booth i can honestly say there are more people taking dong pics than you would think

[jesse]

Coxie, that made me lol

skiminkid, I really like the chair shot and the car shot as well. The texture on the chairs is so interesting, and I almost like the lack of focal point

330 damn, was it fun panning? Haha, lets see some shots!

haha i tried a few pan shots. mostly had to try though, it was hard to cover my ears and shoot and aim and whatnot. those things are loud. gotta finish the roll.

[Chrith]

ill give it a couple more days to see how much interest we get. then ill get a list together. preferbly have it by location so who ever is closest to me will get it and so on. and if anyone wants to develop the roll themselves feel free, or i

[Walruz996]

That roll better be at least 80% balls n boobs.

[Chrith]

this is just going to turn into everyone taking a picture of their balls and sending it to the next person. better PP it to black and white so its art

[jesse]

Love the idea. I think a theme would be a rad idea too, to get everyone's interpretation of a concept.

[a_pla5tic_bag]

traveling camera? skateperception did one. might work.

the better idea was the create a theme, it was 1 skate photo, a photo about where you live, a portrait, and a random shot, and have everyone do that and each person had an assigned day to post on.

[jesse]

This may be getting a little too crazy, BUT I just picked up that polaroid... could be neat to mail it around and let each person take one photo. They then scan it/photograph it and post it. We'd have regular updates, and each person would get to keep their photo

Might require each person to throw down a few bucks for their share of film, but I think we could ship it for around $5-$10

[GnipGnop]

I've been to clubs where these cameras were passed out at the beginning ad collected at the end. It ends up being a lot of drunken blurry shots. I'd be down for this though.

[TheSeaCowww]

so down for the mail-camera

[Chrith]

any suggestions on theme? im thinking one theme shot and a random(ball shot)

[carbonisyourfriend]

I`d be down aswell, for theme something with drunk whores

christian science center?

[purphaz312]

christian science center?

Yes sir. Thought it was more interesting from this angle with the pool as opposed to the standard front on shot.

[GnarKill1029]

do it better

[Gabriel Keenan]

line the horizons and fix white balance on the first shot of the second post. use some recovery on the second shot.
i like the last photo!

[Gabriel Keenan]

two street shots i made
#1 in amsterdam

Rozengracht by Gabriel Keenan, on Flickr

#2 in london

oxford street by Gabriel Keenan, on Flickr

[SACTO skim]

First shot makes me want to go back to Europe so bad. Time for another family reunion. The tones on both shots are great, so crisp and "detail-y"
You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Gabriel Keenan again.

Thank you! Mind elaborating a bit in layman's terms for a noob?

[Benwa]

a couple of photos from my canon t3i with a kits lens of 18-55mm

[Seanaldinho10]

i like the first one but i wouldve rather had the rock in focus, because aside from the bridge the tracks lead your eyes to the rocks, at least for me anyways

[Gabriel Keenan]

Recovery is a tool in lightroom (and i think in photoshop as well) that darken the highlights that look washed out.
If you don't know what white balance is, you should read about it... when you know how to set the white balance you improve a lot the quality of your photos. heres a simple article, but you should read more i think. and make some tests. http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tut...te-balance.htm

[SACTO skim]
