My Bits And Pieces - I'm Talking About Photos...  

Jane_DoeXxX

nice nick!
also went to the camera shop on my lunch break, ended up spending the whole hour there because i have never realised how much cool/random stuff they have.
noticed the 50mmf/1.4... nice looking lens!!!! keen to see some snaps if you purchase one!

Nick_

Camera shops are like car yards. I find very few camera sales people and car sales people alike who actually know anything about what they're selling.

Go check out Photocontinental, play with it there and buy from DD photographics in Newfarm, that's my advice.


Hoon, was totally thinking that but i've never been much of a japanese cartoon lover/liker/bothering-to-watch type so I left it to that.

Dragon Ball Z, I wish I could turn back time and then flush the inventors head in the toilet. Just seeing that shit on TV makes me want to go postal - Not sure why though.

Nick_

So I worked today.. FUCKING AWESOME.

Anyway, this dropped into the backyard and we only found out because the dog wouldn't shut up.

Go to HERE or I'll stab you in the FACE.

I was being dyslexic this day, i meant the 1.2
The 1.4 is still nice. but the 1.2 was just a great lens to look at!!!!!!

Nick_

Yeah and worth like $2k. Not worth it unless you got nothing else left to buy/life off lowlight stuff.

Jane_DoeXxX

haha yeah definately agree!
all in all. still made me feel happy inside just looking at it!!

Nick_

Shoulda held it. Heavier than it looks!

Nick_

Well saw this in a photography magazine (UK as you can tell by the pricing). No need to think of your own!

yo nick! i need your help (oh what a surprise)

Border Help

What file size should i be creating for the black border. Im guessing you just make a new background in ps then place the photo over the background? But not sure what size to make the background. Im guessing you would have done this before?

So simple yet confusing. Bloody amatuers these days ehh!

waynecant

okm well i kinda just figured it out kinda. went ctrl + n and made a new background thats 1200x1200 then placed the photo ontop? that what i should be doing? came out like this?

Nick_

Amateurs.. you and me both pal. I don't think there is a 'right' way to do it mate, if that's how you did it & it fits well, then go for it.

To be picky and 100% correct (and off the top of my head) you could also go canvass size, increase this by 200% in height (giving 50% for top and 50% for bottom) and then just use the fill tool? I think that'd be easier for me because i like to keep things as perfect as i can (when i can be arsed). I'm sure there's an easier way if you google it or something.

I also like what you're trying with that image but i find the shadow under her nose casting the bottom right (camera right) of her face distracting. Like the rim action though, thumbs up for that shit! You could try going high too for a hair light might soften it a little for her, also shooting through the fence is a good idea too.

waynecant

Yeah that shadow sucks, couldn't get rid of it tho because I was on a set of stairs and it was fences under the rail. So I had to have the umbrella up high or flash thru the fence and get the shadow everywhere.

Thanks for the cc and help on the border bud

Nick_

For James.

Nick_

Who wants to loan me a 1m+ Canon TTL cord?

James Dean

I have one that stretches out about a 1m
Also have another but has some exposed wires.

Nick_

I'll have the one with exposed wires if you're giving it away I'll fix 'em up gewwwd.

James Dean

Nope. Im going to cut it and attach it to the other one.

Nick_

Whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat, just extend it man! No need to screw two!

James Dean

Nope, going to have one input with two output.

Hoon

Sneaky Sneaky!

Nick_

What for? Coathangering people? unless you have two hands free or a mad big flash frame I'm not sure on what you're planning.

dano4127

Nick_

That's everything to date (note: the black image is meant to be black, it was when my YN460ii died )

dano4127

haha nice work dude! Still reckon you should embed each one her or if your real lazy link to your blog in signature would be mkay

Nick_

Just add the blog to your favs


I can publish it to my facebook, wish i could click a button like that for boost too.

And by embed do you mean actually embed or just post a link to that day's entry? I can't find any easy way to embed.. Unless you write some HTML for me

Hoon

RSS feed FTW!

Benny_boy92

Inform us about the light switch? I've had a look on your blogs a few times...You always seem to amuse me.

Nick_

Hoon: Teach me.

Ben: It's apart of my 'Ode To' series. What I figure is, if I'm going to really do this thing and take a photo every day I better create some themes to keep things from getting stale/stopping all together. One of which is trying to create some interesting images of things we take for granted. Bath mats for instance, they're fucking great as! Everytime I step out of the shower I'm all 'Ahhh soft mat not slippery tiles'. Kinda adding some comical value as well as keeping the creativity dribbling along.
