Keys, Synths & Samplers

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

how do you do that? do you ask peoples permission?

genuinely curious

[Purity_Control]

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

A few shots of urban stuff i did quite recently:

I think that's bound to happen here too sooner or later. 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

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 S90
QTPFSGUI does some amazing stuff for free. even to one single exposure

A view from my room, sometime last winter:

tomkeen, i just noticed your reflection in this pic!
I HDR'd it for fun

[TropicThink]

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?

[Tomkeen]

Yeah I saw that too

And you just made the picture look a whole lot better

[donaldcrunk]

i am horrible at photography, and i certainly can't top kW's post, so i'm just going to post pictures that i've taken that i think are funny for some reason or another that are maybe music related.

recording in abandoned buildings with forumite goldy mcjohn floored out:



the most hilarious studio ive ever visited:

i would love to remember the story behind this:

What a ridiculous thing to say. You must have an agenda.

There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with those pictures.

[Diametro]

There's been other threads on this ... MODS: I'd suggest adding this to those ...

That's from that free program I posted. Also, PICASA works well to enhance and/or correct picture tones. Even its one button AUTOFIX works great most of the time.

Thanks for the tip! Picasa does a great job of enhancing indeed!
