Mannequin posted:This looks photoshopped to me, specifically as though he used the radial blur filter: Considering the source, and the recent embarrassment involving wire services and manipulated photos, I'm going to assume it's real. It really doesn't look like anything that much more complicated than panning and possibly zooming during exposure. If he was going to do it in photoshop, he could have gotten the subject quite a bit sharper in the original exposure. Also, since the radial blur filter has a setting specifically designed to mimic zooming during exposure, it seems far more likely that he just did that, as opposed to potentially screwing his career over a photo of a horse. It's a very impressive shot, though.

Try it with cars driving down the road some time. It's drat hard, or more likely impossible, to keep your subject in focus though. I've taken shots like this accidentally before.

I think it's from the back of a car because the lines don't radiate out from the subject like they do when you mess around with zoom.

Yeah I had trouble with that as well, ended up paying a coder friend of mine to pull random thumbnails from a dedicated folder. From what I understand it's supposed to display thumbnails from blogposts, I've got a fairly basic understanding of webpage coding so a lot of it was waaaaay over my head. Looks like you're using the same theme as http://www.boudist.com/

They probably would be if it was filtered, as opposed to wavy if the frame was exposed over a short period of time in a bumpy vehicle.

I had a bit of a play around last night.. you're right, it's supposed to pull thumbnails from posted pictures and link to the releative posts. From checking out your site, I've figured out how to assign certain photos to the thumbnails and link them, but they're static, they don't move.. Might have to play around some more

dear darkroom, it's impossible not to have any sensor dust at f/22 no matter how mangy GODDAMN CHEMICALS I PUT ON MY SENSOR, sure, you're almost perfect, BUT I SEE THOSE TINY TINY SPOTS AT f/22... after i auto level in photoshop... i guess it's way better than before...

I think you're going to be spending a lot of time with your best friend, Professor Clone Tool  But seriously, I don't think there's anything a consumer can do to really clean a sensor thoroughly. I can only imagine that the more chemicals you goop onto the sensor the more at risk you are for spots.

Oh god I hope professor clone tool can go suck a dick forever. I got pretty good at it, now there are some minor minor spots that i'll never see in any photo not of a solar eclipse (and even then, maybe not!), I think it's mostly because even though the swabs are supposed to be full frame sized, they are actually a little smaller, so stuff sometimes just get's pushed to the side. Toxic hemicals are cool because they mostly turn into toxic vapor and don't leave anything on your sensor!

This is when you put on some headphones, get a wacom, and zone out for an hour or two doing spot corrections.

I clean my sensor with an Arctic Butterfly (I haven't had to wet-clean it yet), and really, it gets everything. EVERYTHING. I can't spot a single piece of dust at f/64 (thank you, Sigma comedy lens, for stopping down that far). I can see a couple tiny dots with my laffo f/300 pinhole, but there's no way that'll ever be an actual issue. I've found the best thing for KEEPING it clean is to use a rocket blower to blow out the mirror box before you clean the sensor (or whenever) to keep the shutter movement from stirring up dust.

Finding studio space I can afford is proving to be a right pain in the rear end. I've learned not to mention I'm looking to use the space for a photo studio. That suddenly knocks the price up a few bucks a square foot. At this point, I may say gently caress it and use get a storage unit and use that. You'd think with all the burble about the real estate markets crashing and all the un-leased space sitting around you could find some deals, but alas. That, or maybe I should co-op with someone. I wish Houston was a tad more friendly on that account.

I've seen one or two in my area that rent for pretty reasonable rates. I dunno about a storage unit, you'd want one with AC and I'd think power outlets probably aren't standard on most. Check out industrial parks, maybe. We were doing a carpentry project at work and rented a unit on the edge of town for $250/month or something. It was huge, could easily fit 3-4 cars in it and had a loft area. The guy that had it before us had brought in a hot water heater and was trying to fix it up to live in, lmao.

Not to derail that much, but you can straight up rent warehouse space for $250/month? Did you have to sign a lease or anything? I am very interested in this idea for all sorts of projects I don't have space for in my apartment.

These places are awesome, I've lived in a bunch of live/work type situations. The semi-shady ones where you bring your own water heater and poo poo are the best deals, the understood agreement is usually that you can do whatever you want as long as the landlord doesn't have to ever talk to you or do anything. I just moved into an old warehouse recently after living in a normal apartment for a few months and having room to do shoots and stuff again rules.

I am very interested in this idea for all sorts of projects I don't have space for in my apartment. It was kind of a "townhouse" mini-warehouse, there were several long rows of these units, which shared walls. The one we had was roughly the size of a pair of two-car garage's back-to-back (with garage doors and a regular door on either side) and I don't think it had AC/climate control, although they did have plenty of electrical outlets. The other occupants we met were contractors/people with workshops, including one guy who was building his own submersibles to take down to Cozumel and open an underwater tour business  I don't have the details as my boss made all the arrangements, but I do remember him saying it was $250 for the month and we only had it for like a month or two. This was in late 2003, on the border of a suburb/boondocks region about 15 minutes away from downtown Tampa by car. I looked up their website, here it is to give you an idea of what I'm talking about : http://www.harlingtonllc.com/tts.asp. Apparently the smaller ones start from $86/mo, I may think about renting one myself someday.

How to take better low-light photos (nytimes.com) This was a fairly straightforward article, until I got here: quote:I never do any [post-production] manipulation because most of my career was spent using film. If I manipulated the photos, I would feel that everything I did was fake. I might take a scratch out but I don’t adjust lighting — that’s creating something that wasn’t there. When photographers start doing that, it can’t be called artwork. If someone would have said that to me in person, I would have to bite my lip to keep from rattling off a list of questions:
