da1lyoperations Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 Yeah that is really awesome, looks like something out of Fallout 3 (Been playing that again lately..) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serum Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 like that redscale qsysue yeah after not shooting in front of people (hardcore show pics) or in front of people in general i get a bit embarrassed of asking to shoot peoples portraits on the street i've missed a bunch of good ones too. i saw some mental lady peeking through a mini van window looking for some unknown stalker, light/reflection was perfect. i felt bad i have to get over that. I don't talk too much even at work so it makes it a bit difficult to approach people and take their picture. but subject matter is getting boring... oh yeah i found out why i was having problems with the polaroid its iso is 80 not 100 that i was metering for. duh..

qsysue Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I'm really shy about approaching people--even people I know--and in general I hate doing portraits of people. Candids are a different matter. So I know how you feel. But one thing that might make it easier for you is to do a "100 Strangers" project--or just tell them you are. Trying to take photos of 100 strangers, I mean. (I love the idea but could never actually do it. It'd require, you know, talking to people.) I have a Flickr contact who shoots with a Hasselblad or something like that, and he has a rule that if anyone asks him about the camera, he has to take their picture. I like that idea too.

wafflecakee Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 I rarely ask permission. Haven't been punched in the face yet, came close yesterday though by some huge lady teaching painting classes. Didn't have time to focus before she started hollerin' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
da1lyoperations Posted July 21, 2011 Share Posted July 21, 2011 If you can get used to blending in to what's around you then shooting people is easy. If you come across mad awkward trying to get a snap then people are gonna react, but if you act casual you should be fine. All about being comfortable in the environment you're in. A lot of the time once people spot you they even let you take another photo. When you ask you lose that moment you're trying to capture, but if you do just want a portrait of an interesting person just go up to them and say you're documenting the city for a personal project if you don't feel comfortable asking for a shot without reason. Most people are cool with it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grasp Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 Took this in Key West off a boat. I usually just do about 6 second exposures, and keep firing one after the other until I get some. The hardest part for me is getting the focus right while shooting lighting in the darkness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wafflecakee Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 tiny cause I didn't want to log into my other account. used a tripod, focused to infinity, probably around f/5.6, and Bulb, let go after you see the lightning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qsysue Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 That cat is so graceful. I like to underexpose redscale---makes it a deep red rather than the yellow tones. I like the yellow tones, too, but the red is just so intense. Like this: Tested out a camera someone gave me the other day--walking around in 90+ degree heat: Kodak Pony 135C. Has light leaks but this frame was ok. Slight light leak on left side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
