Was messing around with my projector and some old Kodachromes today.. Composite of two wildly different exposures to get the slide without having a very, very black background; maybe a bit over the top but I like how it ended up. Edit: Is there any way to get non-massive images off Flickr? There doesn't seem to be a way to specify size in BBcode and Flickr seems to just be linking to the big version.

 Shooting a friend's band at a local pub a few weeks back.  Waiting to be shot at paintball.  Playing drum-tar.

If your claims are a pain in the rear end you're not at the right company. Also, if you pay dirt cheap for insurance then don't expect great things from their claims department. Last claim I had I just emailed my agent and he took care of almost everything for me.

If you shoot professionally in any capacity though sounds like you need separate business insurance. At least here in Alberta.

InternetJunky posted:Since I'm not a pro, my home insurance covers my gear automatically ($500 deductible). I phoned them up to make sure since I had just bought a kayak with plans to take my 600mm out for shooting, and the first thing I was told (without recounting my lens + water plan) was "yup, you're covered, even if your camera takes a swim". Yes, if you're shooting for money damages related to the business are not covered by your renters/homeowners/SPP. To be honest most people would just lie even if they were shooting for money and something happened. However the business insurance also covers you for lawsuits from when you accidentally tripped over an extension cord and fell face first into the wedding cake during which time some kind was climbing up your light stand and it fell on his face leaving him with third degree burns and eternal virginity. You also have to be really careful about how much of your equipment is actually covered by homeowners or renters alone. Generally you'll need to pay additional amounts if you own unusual amounts of pricey gadgets, such as camera equipment. The separate insurance is known as Scheduled Personal Property (SPP). It's pretty easy to figure out if you need it, just ask your company "Hey if my $X in gear was stolen would you guys cover the full amount?" If the answer is yes you're in the clear.

Side note - I've always wondered why girls do that with their lips all the time for pictures (see girl on left). It annoys the poo poo out of me for some reason.

I'm told it's a 'kissy face'. I loathe it. I think with the squashed lips and bulging eyes it's supposed to appear glamorous or something. But to me it looks like they're receiving an unexpected enema from an enraged gorilla. All women who have such a photo and want me to add them as a friend on Facebook are refused. Although that's my own fault for having Facebook.

 Thought since I've invaded #c I owe something. Me peering into the depths of my mate's 50mm/f1.1. Focus is a bit mushy because the photo was taken with one of my old FD primes on his EPL-1 (no EVF).

LuisX posted:Yes. G.U.I.L.T.Y. Duckface =  It was meant to be funny, but to be fair, this was my first (real) set up for self portraits (I had used a laptop and a wireless mouse as a remote trigger). It ended up being the most awkward set up (not to mention my brothers bogan friends showed up part way through). And I screwed the lighting up. This was the only photo that was any good that I managed to take before the laptop batteries ran out (I forgot to charge them, and was too tired to fix it in the end).

I used to work with a model that would do nothing but her "Blue Steel" fishy lip facial expression. Even when I coached her on it, she would still default right back to :3. After that I told her to just stop smiling, stop doing anything, just let your face go slack. 100% improvement.

Haha, I think I've managed to avoid that by not having studied photography. Everyone feels it's a bit casual. Also I haven't shot anyone with 'model' pretensions. But I have two people (one of my lady friends and my brother) who just are so natural (and also they look good) in front of the camera. I'm pretty spoilt.  For everyone else I just take a lot of photos, first so they get comfortable, and secondly to get them in a moment when they're natural.

I'm the only one who does more than point and shoot in my group of friends, so almost every picture of me is a cameraphone shot. I make up for it by trying to be an interesting subject.   for scale, I'm 6'8" GWBBQ fucked around with this message at 22:14 on Jul 6, 2010 |

Odd. I used to take nothing but self-portraits and now I only take them when I need new acting headshots. Growing as a photographer or deep-rooted fear of Dorkroom criticism?
