Photograph and Camera talk

[jbphoto23]

Unless you're shooting something you don't really care about having perfect, or high quality isn't important…like family pictures or something, you should always be shooting raw. If its really important to you, when you open the file in CS5 change the mode from 8 bit to 16 bit, it let's you go further with editing and you lose less quality and information. It does make your file larger but if you're working on a file a lot it helps. Jpegs are good when you're shooting large amounts of files you don't wanna edit too much, and for web files, that's about it.

Forgot to reply to your comment! But, yeah high quality is important because when that day comes when I start printing my photos and they are amazing quality then I will be happy.

A bit too high iso AND large aperture, but that is what norwegian autumn nights gets you.. I still like it:

Argh…. everyone has pointed that out  >:(.

Heres the edit though, hopefully it will draw your attention away from the - genetalia.  ???

[injunjack]

the original was actually better, never mind the dick…

[laxlife1234]

*Log. But maybe I will try again tonight or some other time. I have a few more to post up soon though.

[Finn666]

damn…hopefully i`ll get more time to get out and shoot as well...long time passed

[laxlife1234]

Yeah, whats up rafa?! Haven't seen any shots from you in a while. Last post I saw with pictures was almost a week ago, you busy over there?

[Finn666]

yap pretty busy…working and honestly since im back in switzerland, living in a small village. there isnt much interesting stuff going on...maybe i can shoot some tomorrow...

[laxlife1234]

I k.ow I would love to see some shots ;)! But I take close to 75% of my pictures in my backyard so I'm sure you could find some interesting stuff. I wanna see a couple of shots man!

Went to my schools soccer game today (will post up some of the actual soccer game if I like any), but wound up taking a bunch of pictures of my friends.

And one more for the fire (doesn't look like a.. you know what this time :p)

[Finn666]

okay mate, here are some from last weekend…

i have a few more to upload, but quality > quantity…so give them another few days

problem i have atm is that i only have picasa to edit my pics. cant do much, but i think it should do the trick until i get a new progr. to get my editing game up again :P oh...good pics straight outta tha cam actually dont need any post editing, so i think i`ll try it that way first

[laxlife1234]

Really liking that last one though! I love editing photos though, but with the exception of the HDR buses those three have barely had any editing (with the exception of the borders). Picasa is better than nothing though :)!

[Finn666]

i love editing as well, thats the only reason i havent posted these pics yet

i call it "editing" as soon as i upload it to a program where i can work a bit on it

so yeah, just did the "normal" things to it. b/w filter, contrast and shadows…that was all!

same with these:
