Looking good, Wes. It's cool to see where you've come from with your shots, and that you are getting into making photos.

"I Love Lomo"

Yes one more just because it was wet and I couldn't resist...

 

[gekko513]

I like them DBAlex... are those also using the antique filter in iPhoto?

 

[DBAlex]

@gekko513:

No, I just did lots of tweaking in photoshop, Like correcting the levels, The contrast colour etc, On the first one I burnt the sky a bit to make it more dramatic, and on the second I edited the colour balance to make a Lomographic like effect! (I really want a Holga so bad...)

I wish I had a DSLR so I didn't have to fake these effects! hehe

Thanks for the comment too, C+C helps me improve!

If your ISO were a lot lower (say around 200) your photo would not have as much noise in it.

Yeah ... I didn't realize that until I'd already taken the shot and transferred it. Oops.

I'll set it back up in a few days and try again. Thanks.

Mike, I really like this portrait. I had a look at your website. Nice pics in your folio. I think the baby is my favourite.

@cookie1105:

Wow, Amazing shot, Now I can see why I need a DSLR...

I bet you had to keep your hands steady for that shot!

or did you use a tripod?

Very nice job on the pan here, I never seem to get such sharpness in my subject when I try it. It's something more I need to practice.

MikeTeezie, I like this portrait quite a lot, especially the 'feel' of the colors. It seems very vibrant to me, almost otherworldly. Did you do post-processing to achieve this or is it 'as shot'? Either way, well done.

Experimenting with a £3 digital camera bought from ebay... Im gonna mod the hell out of this thing!

Heres a link to the auction if anyone wants one (theres 900 of the feckers)...

Yes the resolution is diabolical but its a fun think to hack/experiment with!

What are those figures? Where did you get them?

Thanks. I'm glad you like it. I'm not sure that you would need a dslr. Surely a decent point and shoot will let you control the shutter speed. No tripod, handheld at about 1/60s. Must have had a drink to calm the shaking hands.

I like the patio shot by the way. Gives it an almost holga-like feel. I'd like to see more of these.

Cheers. Trust me, there are a hell of a lot that go in the trash. Oh well...try, try & try again.

 

[ChrisBrightwell]

They're from a set of Mario Party figures released only in Japan. I bought them so I could use Peach and Mario on my wedding cake in a few weeks.

Hey, thanks. I'm so behind - trying to add shots from sessions long ago, but new stuff keeps piling up to edit and get online for orders.

Oh well, it's a good problem to have.
