Well the in-focus part will be a slice of it. The larger the aperture, the thinner the in-focus area. The larger your aperture, the more blurred the background will be. Sharpness of the infocus area will vary depending on your lens. Which lens' are you using? Quoted post [/b] and just in case you arent familiar with aperture. larger means f1.8, 2.8, 4, not f16, 22.

dear sas Posted November 13, 2005 Share Posted November 13, 2005 i agree with thecarwreck, needs to be a little more dynamic. croping will help that a lot. here is my cheap contribution to orange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quoted post forget all that shape crap. the easiest way to add borders in photoshop is by resizing your canvas to a fraction of an inch (of a few pixels) larger than your image. IMAGE>CANVAS SIZE just make sure your background color is whatever color you want the border to be. *edit. page 125, you sluts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrChupacabra Posted November 15, 2005 Author Share Posted November 15, 2005 I'm contemplating selling my F100 already. So much money to be had, but such an awesome camera. I feel like its a waste though, since i've only shot 3 or 4 rolls in the 3+ months i've had it. decisions, decisions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ERIZENO Posted November 15, 2005 Share Posted November 15, 2005 Orange !!!! This can went nuts on me, the seal is old and broken ... so I had tried to move the paint to another can ... in the attachment to the other can a buinch shot out into my warm water bucket and coated the can when I removed it from the water. I have been meaning to do something with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dear sas Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 rage- the 2nd and 3rd pictures--nice. i espcially like the one of the light streaming down on the plant. very nice natural light. you should try kicking up some dust to see if that hightens the effect. phunk- the last one of the trees, i think?, in black and white, super nice. really like the motion and blur of it jbrsh- sick ass landscape. mas por favor enrenzino- i really like that last, semi studio one. I think it would look really great if used that same lighting and did a macroshot going up the can. but really good stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Rage- Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 Haha. d.s., you've got jbrsh and phunk switched up. Blast, I didn't even think to kick up some dirt. It was a huge ass tunnel though. Would have taken lots of kickng. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbrshmonster Posted November 16, 2005 Share Posted November 16, 2005 haha-nice! thanks for the kind words poiesis. you just gotta look around for cheap shit, or just ask photo stores if they have expired film. they will be more than happy to get rid of em for a couple bucks.. rage- had a question regarding expired 665, you used any of that? i havent had much luck, everything is seriously dark. that photo of the tree up there, it's like 15 or so exposures. that seems to be the only way to get any image on, i even did like 5 14second exposures on one try and got jack shit. any ideas or is it just the luck of the expired film draw? also, anyone form denver in here, i'll be there this weekend. hollercopter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
