Ckit Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I like this photo... But this project has been done before. But I guess that doesn't matter... like all other forms of art, you just got to do it better. I think I just sounded like a pretentious asshole, and thats not me, I like the photo. it will be quite different than how people have seen this issue photographically... ...and hopefully better. :D old rail shots haha; it is a graffiti site after all :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh_snap Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 yo decaying, those rail shots stand out though. props. and good luck with the consumption project, stoked to see more. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeking Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 exactly, its a graffiti site, we've all seen trains/tracks before. we've also seen canvases with overspray and drips too, just fyi. i hate when people put watermarks on photos in here. maybe it's just me, but it comes across as thinking either we're a bunch of thieves who would try and steal photos, or that you think you're so hot that you need your name all over everything you do. neither of which i feel applies to a single person who posts in here. just me. i spent the last couple weeks in a tropical mystery land. ill have pictures when i get done cropping and shit.

castro Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 i would also suggest the d40x or k100d. you definitely do not need all the extras that come with the higher priced slrs. one last los angeles river shot. yo decaying. i'm really curious how you get these kinda colours, what post processing procedures you're going through etc. They're fucking baddd. If you could shed a little light it would be sweet... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
20 Eyes Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 yeah really. decaying's colors are fantastic. here are a few from the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castro Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 I really like the room/graff one. The freeway one is cool too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeking Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 um, im gonna wager a guess and say first set: desaturate second set: over saturate. combine that with over/under exposures, and voila. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castro Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 you're gonna have to get technical with me seeking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ckit Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 um, im gonna wager a guess and say first set: desaturate second set: over saturate. combine that with over/under exposures, and voila. yep. those two quoted are the exact color out of camera with about 30% desaturation. the one on bottom is one of the only ones i have ever boosted the saturation on. combined with over/under/spot on exposures, and voila. depends on the situation and what your trying to show. i only mess with the saturation on about half my pictures. and usually thats the only post processing i do besides a little in curves or levels. the time/place you take photos can have a huuuge impact on the colors as well.

seeking Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 hmm...technical. ok. image>adjust>hue/saturation slide the lever to the right to over saturate, left to undersaturate. you can also just change the saturation of specific colors. you'll also want to mess with contrast and curves, both of which are found in the image>adjustments> section.

seeking Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 pretty rad. after i got it, i kinda felt like maybe i made a mistake. that i for some reason should have gotten the d40x. ive since totally changed my mind. the camera is rad. no complaints what so ever.

seeking Posted July 3, 2007 Share Posted July 3, 2007 yeah, yeah, yeah. ive taken a ton too, ive just been insanely lazy about cropping/editing them. the fact that i have close to 1000 to go through doesnt help matters at all either. ill get some up soon. swear.

Ckit Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 ^^you should use flickr.com, 1000x better than photobucket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mn1_fuckos Posted July 4, 2007 Share Posted July 4, 2007 Thats true flickr is 1000x better than photobucket its worth the money and it allows you to have unlimited pictures and have them all in different sizes and i dont think they have a problem with the amount of bandwidth you use. i suggest get it!!!!

shitting Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 haha, if one of these guys saw el mamms wearing his bear cap they would just mount him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Rage- Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 haha, if one of these guys saw el mamms wearing his bear cap they would just mount him Ummm.. not really. One of them has met El Mamerro in person even. No offense to Mamerro, but he's not their type. Again, just because someone owns an Angry Alan hat doesn't mean they're a bear or like bears. They're just my friends and they're all over the world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
