Ckit Posted November 29, 2005 Share Posted November 29, 2005 i say post the graff. many of these subjects have been done a hundred times over anyways. Those poloroid names have been overdone/posted in my opinion but im not saying take them off. if its taken with a camera its photography and belongs in the photo thread. that shot with the pickles and the one with the man and boxes both kick ass. nice.

Quoted post Here's the thing. I am possibly the ONLY person making those Polaroid names. I mean in the world. There are about half a BILLION people taking photographs of random graffiti. Not here.

BURLAP Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 forgive the nerdosity, but the thing with photographing graffiti and posting it for people who study/do graffiti is unless you're a total champ with composition and have a primo eye, the photo can sometimes be basically relegated to whatever the quality of the graff is, since we all instinctively and automatically look right at the graffiti in the shot..not a diss or anything..i'm just sayin'.. rage, check your pm's please.....

WhiteOx Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 I'm slightly confused by everything you said Burlap I'll lay off posting graffiti oriented photos (unless I think its really special ;)) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BURLAP Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 yea, well i thought it made sense too, but i just gave up trying to explain it again. fuck it, it's really late and i'm tired, but i think the gist is there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phunk Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 Ok, I know there's graff in these shots. But it's not like writer's graff, you know? And I just thought a tiny percentage of you might recall the top photo posted here back in July, taken in February. And I also just thought a tiny percentage of you might enjoy the second shot taken just a couple days ago, for comparison's sake. That's what I thought anyway... :innocent: Near Buckeye, Arizona.

thecarwreck Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 word up burlap.. i get it. there are ways to shoot graffiti that remove the 'look at this neato graffiti' aspect from the image... hell, i've posted images like that myself. but a straight shot of some piece is pretty much boring. i'll get some shit up in the next few days. grading papes sucks the life out of you.

SteveAustin Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 the basic jist is if graffiti is the focal point...don't post it. just because there is a little bit of graffiti in an otherwise kick ass composition...that is fine...post up. White Ox...your bridge shot with the shadows of the beems on the concrete pillars falls into the latter category. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColorPurple Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 i was wondering if anybody knows of the polaroid camera that you can change the shutter speed on and shit like that....i searched it a while back online and came across it for like 50$ or something like that but cant find it...if you know of the name or where i can get it it would be appreciated....thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyler Durden Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 It's time to purchase a D-SLR. Any reccomendations? So far, the front runner seems to be the D50 (Nikon), I've read nothing but good reviews for it thus far, although I am considering a 20D (Canon). Both seem to have alot of good reviews, but the 20D has 8.2 MP compared to the 6.1 of the D50. I also believe I remember reading some stuff about Canons raw-file system stuff being annoying? I do plan on shooting alot with it, and in very low light conditions on the whole. Has anyone done any printing with the D50? They claim that you get very good print results up to 11x14, and I really cant see myself going much larger than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will set you back upwards of $500 though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbrshmonster Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 rebelxt. awesome. easy to learn. "go to a shop and hold both, see which FEELS right for you." carwreck good advice. the first time i held a dslr i thought there was way too much shit going, too many buttons, now its second nature. get a gig memory card and then a smaller one as well..

Quoted post [/b] I've read that the d50 and d70 are very comparable with the exception of perhaps 4-5 custom features, If I can save a little bit on the body and devote it into better lenses that would be ideal. One of the downsides to the Nikons is that I've been told that theres no vertical grip/batt. packs available, which is definetly something I would like to invest in for any camera I own. I've been shooting a Canon SLR for about 5 years now and enjoy it quite a bit. I'll definetly be hitting up B+H to test out both before purchasing though. Thanks everyone.

thecarwreck Posted November 30, 2005 Share Posted November 30, 2005 i just saw a verticl for the nikons somewhere... unfortunately i can't remember where. but if you're used to canon, by all means, hook it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-Rage- Posted December 1, 2005 Share Posted December 1, 2005 This is why I don't shoot with 35mm much anymore. Shit came out horrible. Although, my FujiFilm Slides from the steel works turned out amazing. Just need to get my ass to a Kinko's to scan and enlarge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
