I fixed your image tags s_k. I'm guessing that chocolate is similar or the same as Aero Bar? Seeing as it's made by Nestle and all.

And Pedestrian is right about the chocolate.

s_k 04-21-2011 04:28 PM

Haha, sorry. What did I do? [url or something? :).

And I think that's pretty much the same, yeah :)

You just missed a bracket on one of the tags. I think you had put /img] instead of [/img]

s_k 04-21-2011 04:59 PM

Wops. Keeps you occupied :)

Churros are amazing.

I'm actually not a fan of chocolate. Except the occasional galaxy. Crisps > chocolate.

I do, really. Or at least I try to have a piece everyday.
I think my body just needs the dopamine, honestly.

But around my time of the month I crave vinegar or cucumbers

The word is that each pincer-wielding beastie (infused in the vodka for three months before hitting the shelves) has undergone a special detoxifying process. This neutralises the scorpion's venom, making it 100% edible, tail 'n' all!
You're shitting me?!

I know that, but how... ah wait, Crips. I meant crisps, obviously :D

FETCHER. 04-26-2011 05:39 PM

I sure am not ****ting you!

s_k 04-26-2011 05:44 PM

Hmm, about the pics; Watch your backgrounds dear :D.
You got a nice feel for 'the kodak moment', you do.
But I see a lot of chopped off stuff on your pics. If it isn't snapshots you're looking for, the subject often isn't the most important thing on the pic.

So far for my criticism.
Apart from that, I like the subjects and...

Want to live there!

FETCHER. 04-26-2011 05:46 PM

What do you mean by chopped off stuff? The tree was unavoidable. As for the chopped castle I just loved the sky that's why I took two.

FETCHER. 04-26-2011 05:47 PM

Ps. You really don't want to live here. If I could move the castle to NZ....

s_k 04-26-2011 05:53 PM

Allright, here goes
http://a4.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._6121337_n.jpg
There's a man on the left with half a bottle of vodka in front of his face :D
The other one has got a bottle on his nose

http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._4066962_n.jpg
Not much chopping here, just that strange black spot on the edge of the pic. But this one is just moved. Pity. Nice goose :)


http://a2.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot..._7121259_n.jpg
There's a bit of a tree on the left of the picture that's still on, accidentally.
In a case like this you're better off putting a bit more of the tree on it. Now it's a bit like 'oh yeah, there's a tree there, but that doesn't matter, it didn't belong on the picture anyway'.

http://a8.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphot...7_782765_n.jpg
Same sorta goes for this one. There's a chimney on the right that's juuuust on the picture. But not really.
And the tree on the left almost made it, but a bit of the top and the left is chopped off.

This is often considered 'bad' in photography.

Because I don't want you to think I don't like your pictures I'd like to add that I only comment here because this is the photography thread :). I have to approach stuff technical here. At least I think this is about photography, right? Not just about the picture? I could be wrong, you never know with me :D.

Zaqarbal 04-27-2011 01:13 AM

And after a castle.........a palace. A Royal Palace. Last Friday night:

http://img90.imageshack.us/img90/810...eal28madri.jpg

I tried to apply the so-called rule of thirds. That is, the building at the upper third (more or less).

I don't know what "role" the puddle plays here (if it plays any "role"), but the thing is that there was a puddle at that moment, and it's at the lower third. Actually, that wasn't intentional. I was going to take the photo anyway.

I also like the colors. It's like "silver and gold" or something like that.


s_k 04-27-2011 05:13 AM

Haha, the rule of thirds doesn't really work for this picture.
I'd go
1/3rd: Sky
1/3rd: castle
1/3rd: Ground
Now there's an awful lot of ground if you ask me.
Nice lighting, very nice.
Pity about the little spot of light on the left, coming from a streetlight.

All in all a very nice picture to look at :)

Why not start your own thread entitled S_K Critiques Your Photos.
so if anybody wants you to do that they post in that one, if they don't they post in this one.

Problem solved.

good feedback. If I had a decent camera I would practice all this religiously. But until then, it's a hobbie :).

Lemme explain how this works in my head

I thought I was supposed to comment :(

Oi, David Bailey...allow me to explain how this works in real life.
Calm down with the critiques. You assume all your comments are welcome.
I for one don't want to read a "pro tip" every time I come in here to have a gander at what some of the members have posted. It's irritating!

right-track 04-27-2011 12:17 PM

Ooops, nearly forgot;

:)

s_k 04-27-2011 12:41 PM

That helps.

I'll stop commenting then :).
If anyone wants a comment on the technical bit of the photo, just ask.

Yeah, I know. But at night the sky is black. Dark as Devil's soul, you know... :)

So we could say:

1/3rd: Palace
1/3rd: Smooth pavement
1/3rd: Cobbled pavement + puddle

Circumstances, man, circumstances. Circumstances are everything. At night, I need a surface to rest the camera on. And there only were bollards there. You know, one of these:

http://img864.imageshack.us/img864/6708/bollard01.jpg

So perspective was determined by a bollard's location. :(

s_k 04-27-2011 04:55 PM

Hahaha, allright. Diggin' your excuses :D.

Zaqarbal 04-27-2011 06:37 PM

But, hey, when circumstances are on my side, I try to seize the occasion. Especially considering that Matrix's skies use to be gorgeous. This sunrise is from February:

http://img684.imageshack.us/img684/5...alcielo103.jpg

I think there are several favorable converging factors here: the blood-red sky, those plane contrails, sun's position and the central building. The "shy" Sun seems to be hiding itself. And to me, it looks as if it were about to move left, instead of rising up. A curious effect.


s_k 04-28-2011 03:18 AM

You know, it's easy making a picture like that when you have that view in front of you anyways.
But damn, I still just LOVE it :D
I can has big one for desktop background? :D.

s_k 04-29-2011 05:56 AM

My dad bought a Sigma DP2.
I've been using it all time since yesterday as it's absolutely brilliant.
It's an awful device to live and work with, but the pictures are... Beyond DSLR quality:

This is my state of the art plastic lens camera.

s_k 05-03-2011 04:16 PM

I wouldn't call myself a fan, but a good lo-fi photograph can be very interesting to look at.
I just don't see the point of those expensive low-budget (?!) camera's.
I'd just buy a 35 year old budget cam on a yardsale or summin'.

I have a polaroid that I've been wanting to film-up and snap some shots for a collage but the film is outrageous.

Sure am. I've got a Fisheye 2. Pretty decent stuff. Do you have any scanned?

Yes, indeed. And the same happens with buildings. Sometimes I try to do my bit, though. This is the Mirador Building (mirador means viewing-point), designed by Dutch architectural firm MVRDV. I took many pictures of it, from different angles. I like this one because of all its geometric features:


Obviously, building is "the star" here, but pavement plays its role too (note, for instance, how colours are the same). There is an interesting composition of lines, I think:


And I love how the clouds collaborated with me too: :laughing:
