Until we aren't limited by glass/ceramic optics and the defraction/distortion problems inherent to it, you can only make a 400mm lens so compact and retain any quality. Right now, I'm not sure you can make a 70-200 much smaller than the f/4 of canon, and how important is it that your camera can fit in your pocket if it's stuck on the end of that? No but you see the camera is tiny and therefore it must be a technological invention that will cast off the shackles of the previous generation! I like a slightly bulky camera as it gives me something to grip.

Twenties Superstar posted:What is it about other people taking photos the way they want that makes you so upset as to use the word "fag" as a pejorative? Haha nothing, just I see that style over-used and it entertains me that someone has developed a camera specifically to pander to it. I also find it odd that lens vignetting, something that would be considered a fault in most cameras is here used as a selling-point. Also I can't believe I'm replying to a troll. VVVVVV Yes I was reading up on their history page. Very interesting, my point is more the audience the camera panders to and the advertising that's used, less than the camera itself. I appreciate the "acting like" by the way. XTimmy fucked around with this message at 09:46 on Feb 11, 2010 |

Twenties Superstar posted:You might want to read that thread again. I realise goons don't take admissions of guilt seriously because hey it's much more fun to tear a guy to shreds than pretend he's a human being right? But I feel sincerely guilty for making GBS threads up this thread. I meant no offence, I replied flippantly because, again, goons; we're all sarcastic fucks at each other's throats. By editing my post out I had hoped to avoid a page worth of debate regarding how offensive "human being" is in different contexts.

Found this, which while not exactly the same, is still awesome as hell. I had one of these that had parts of the world that 'sunk' into the ocean when you put hot liquid in it, a Global Warming mug (it was a gift). Don't put them in the dishwasher.

woot fatigue posted:So basically I should speedball cocaine with mescaline and hope I'm working on some photos when I hit the upswing. Great! Many of your landscapes I can kind of tell what you've done, though I'd be totally incapable of producing such an image myself. What interests me are the ones where you wouldn't have been able to do multiple exposures easily.  A MAGNIFICENT MILE (2006) by BRAD GILLETTE (bgillettephoto.com), on Flickr This one looks almost like it was shot on film, I think the only thing giving it away to me is the grain on her jacket looks more like digital noise than film grain to me. I'm wondering what you did to produce such a soft, filmic gamma curve? Maybe I'm too used to the harsh Australian sun that turns everything to stark shadows. EDIT: I was going to ask for selection efficiency tips too but I get the feeling I just need patience more than anything.

Self portraiture is fun! Muslin-11 by TimFPictures, on Flickr I'd recommend trying some self limitations if you want some inspiration, I was bored one day so I did a complete walk around a local lake at Golden Hour, but I only allowed myself my 50mm f1.8. Really helped to be thinking about positioning and so on.

I'd be concerned about editing RAWs on a screen I can't calibrate but that's me. Unless the iPad is way ahead of where I think it is.

Mest0r posted:I literally burst out laughing after clicking on one of his pictures and seeing 32070 seconds as his shutter speed (about 9 hours). How is that achieved, I would have thought on a digital camera that such a long exposure would cause dead-pixels on the sensor. Let alone the actual logistics, how does one tell the shutter to stay open for 9 hours? (Sound like a right newbie here but am I right in thinking he'd take an image every X minutes then blend them together?)

Man I gotta tell you while I love my little AE1 I spent most of the trip partially deaf and coked up on painkillers following a group of people who had more interest in booze than culture around. I have nothing but terrible touristy shots and I feel like rear end because of it. I did get them printed though so I'll try and scan the handful I did get that I liked and post them up.

This loving idea keeps playing in my head over and over and I love it. The subversion is so exact and poignant, not just a photo series, more I see a group of little cinematic vignettes. Robert (16) and William (14), brothers, dressed in the boyish shorts and striped shirts of the 50s, walk down to the lakeside and cast out lines from old wooden rods and reels, laughing and swinging their feet of the jetty as they do, and as the light turns warm and the shadows grow long Robert pulls a little brown paper bag from his pocket, the kind that you don't see anymore but that they used to put candy and sweets in down at that corner store. Inside is *gasp* just a half ounce of weed, William looks at it in excitement, this is a coming of age moment, a rite of passage that bears no semblance to smoke stained, badly furnished rooms or dead distant eyes. This is his first time and he looks up with mild disbelief at Rob, who smiles, remembering when their father first smoked a blunt with him, "we'll share" and the smoke wafts slowly upwards unto the setting sun. While that same sun peeps through the autumn leaves of the tiny glade that James (15) and Cathy (15) first held hands, they have a picnic all laid out, cheese and ham sandwiches wrapped in grease paper, the white bread fluffy and moist, a hinge-corked bottle of juice sits lazily with a pair of crystal tumblers. Apples, shinier and redder than the shriveled mass farmed ones you buy in supermarkets make a desert for this tableau of naivety. James smiles nervously at her and she returns it, showing a set of braces that remind us that no, these are no adults, he reaches deep into the basket and, finding a small dark-wood box he presents to her a pair of brightly colored pills, with a smile she takes one and delicately swallows. Shoot it in 2.35 with anamorphic glass to really bring that dreamy feel as the sunlight hits the lens and scatters the colours. XTimmy fucked around with this message at 08:11 on May 31, 2013 |

While I'm mildly annoyed that people are now using kickstarter to fund vacations the photoset had its moments, I'm not American though, so it might just be the novelty of some of the settings. One or two of the street photos were nice too. Boring is a relative concept I guess.
