Members Mediterranean Posted June 10, 2010 Members Share Posted June 10, 2010 Share your work, knowledge, tricks, tips, etc: the weird, the unexpected, the interesting, and anything you like to share that is related to photography or videography.__________________________Just like with music: you try different things and something interesting comes out sometimes.In this case, I wanted to know whether the point of focus of a reflected object is the object itself or the reflective surrface it's projected on. So I focused on the object [lamp in my little room] and look what happened. It's as if the lamp is protruding out of the display of my VCR [3D effect]!Not related: a few shots. Among other things, this is what my pics will look like if/when I ever sell something on eBay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Purity_Control Posted June 10, 2010 Members Share Posted June 10, 2010 No, I just shoot photos at a great distance with the zoom. I'd love to be able to do stuff like that, but if you did it in the UK they'd try to arrest you as a terorist or a paedophile if there were any kids in it Everything here has got so paranoid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like always it's going to take a few high profile incidents and it'll all change. I have no doubts about KWs intents for the record. I dropped my flickr account because of the number of kids (obvious CP esque material) that are posted there and the posters have this sort of "hey I know you use it for porn, but I have the right to free speech too, so don't get me in trouble" sort of attitude and that just creeps me out. It makes me think to the of the one creepy guy walking around the beach with a telephoto lens. No offense KW..But anyway I moved onto picasa at google and most of the people on there are from europe and the pictures are fantastic.. I'll have to upload some of my artsy ones and post them here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wwwjd Posted June 10, 2010 Members Share Posted June 10, 2010 I'm not even really a photo hobbyest, but some things I do is always shoot pics and video on "VIVID" color modes... yeah yeah I know, but is anything we do ever REAL? And been messing with HDR (LDR?) photos which I think are really cool for so many reasons. it brings out so much more detail that is usually lost in digital photos - more of what the eye really sees that got lost in dark or washed out parts of pictures. Bought the Canon S90QTPFSGUI does some amazing stuff for free. even to one single exposure http://sourceforge.net/projects/qtpfsgui/files/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members TropicThink Posted June 10, 2010 Members Share Posted June 10, 2010 Great thread! I love photography (I even took photography at university and want to pick it up again) and there's some really nice stuff posted here already. What a creative community this really is. Hasn't Carbon111 even written a book about this subject? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you're saying is a bit different from what rath implied, which was that KW is some kind of pervert... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Metrosonus Posted June 10, 2010 Members Share Posted June 10, 2010 I agree with both you guys. But at least here, KWs photos are harmless (relatively, barring consent) and they are posted amongst a small group of friends.Now consider that in contrast to the guy who has to keep posting his daughter at gymnastics meets in the politics forum and people have told him it was inappropriate to post those openly and he's all like what me worry?
