Local paper ran a couple of pics alongside an interview with my friend Frankii who runs one of the local burly troupes; Clicken fur embiggen Nice to see them in print, even if they're a bit over-lightened on the page for my tastes.

If you want to be prepared AND obnoxious, wrap it in a bright colored gaffer's tape. You never know when you'll need gaffer's tape. I keep a bunch (black) wrapped around my 70-200 hood, it comes in handy at times you'd never expect. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/540960-REG/General_Brand_Pro_Chroma_Key_Cloth.html Paragon8 posted:yeah seeing your stuff in print is always that push and pull of "yay my stuff is in print" and "what the gently caress did they do to my images?"

I have both fluorescent orange and fluorescent pink gaff tape at work, as well as black and red and the usual, poo poo owns. Black writing on pink gaff is actually significantly easier to see in low light than on white gaff.

Failed to climb to Base Camp Everest, lost a lot of health from AMS, stricken as I was (at some point simple scratching would burst capillaries, so I've a particularly confronting amount of red fingernail scratch marks over my body). I retreated to 2800m, but was unable to even get a chopper out and had to walk 150k's in approx. three-ten hour-days, over mountains and jungles and under an infernal constant rain, only survivable by liberal usage of vaseline and crushed codeine tablets to muffle the pain of our trenchfooting feet. And what kept me going is I think I'm going to buy a large format speed graphic or equivalent and a tonnage of positive film, like T-64 and Velvia and take long exposures of night time snow scapes in the Russian Arctic Circle after I take the Transsiberian from Beijing. Also Batman Rises today, if I can find a cinema. Also Velvia 100f sucked.

If it helps I got lost walking back from the cinema yesterday and got stuck in the rain for a few hours. I was really upset with myself. Interesting: People like to climb to Base Camp Everest with props for Facebook shots. For Example: A guy carried a skateboard up there to do a trick flip with Everest in the background. A girl wore a bikini under everything and carried a martini glass and an olive to the top, filled the glass with water, popped in the olive, took off all her clothes and got a great shot of her chillin' at 5400m or whatever. Except for some slight cellulite. A guy took a dump on Kala Pattar then took a photo of it, with Everest in the background. Put it on Facebook, his mother shared it on her wall and no one's noticed yet that the foreground is mostly a low fibre diet excrete. I personally took a kite up there. Although all I have is an Iphone and I just thought it would be neat to fly it up there photo or no. Also I didn't make it up there anyway and I threw the kite away to make my pack weigh a square of crepe paper and two small bamboo sticks lighter.

Flickr app for Photoshop! good question: I had assumed it was a lab-only idea, but it seems you can get a mutliple-frame version for only $149: http://photoacute.com/tech/mtf.html Take a burst of photos, plug them into the software and almost double your resolution. That seems like great value for money for some shooters.

I asked a guy on facebook why he thought he deserved to be paid money to abuse the contrast and clarity sliders as he was on a rant about not getting paid for an event he begged to shoot. His reply: "Sorry Steve, Im sure you dont need any interest in your shots? I take my original images with an end purpose in mind, this requires a little post processing that I take into account before Ive even pressed the shutter. Please feel free to illustrate how awesome and thought out your photography is, and why you feel your qualified to critique me. Im not being sarcastic, Im genuinely interested "Urghhhhhhhh.

I just thought it was interesting that people literally cannot take even the slightest criticism and instead choose to surround themselves with sycophants and idiots. My original crit was something along the lines of: "Nice composition but I really think the sky needs to be toned down as it looks like you've maxed USM/clarity and contrast. Also the contract you signed to shoot said you may not sell the shots" It's hardly brutal is it now.

Right, but uploading a picture to Facebook is generally not really to solicit criticism but more "here is a picture I took" so I imagine someone sees criticism no matter how constructive as an "attack" on their "space" which they could be using to advertise their business no matter how lovely it is. I could see how someone could get defensive with a comment like that in a public space.

But he was asking for 'feedback'. Maybe I am just a goony gently caress who reads the forums too much, but I thought it was a hilariously pretentious rebuttal.

I used to think when some poo poo went down, like Jason got punched in the face by Rhys and Rhys got hauled off and when he gets back everyone crowds around and is like "rhys, rhys man, what went down!" and Rhys says "I don't want to talk about it." that this was the most boring thing in the world. Worse than Lord of the Rings or people complaining about the Jews. But now I know the guy who throws his hands up and shrugs and says wide-eyed "what did I do? I don't even know what I did! It's so crazy! I just don't get it!" is it. He's the guy. He's the one you need to avoid. The first guy, he'll open up down the track, keep him around! and he'll cry (probably drunk) and you'll be moved when he tells you about Snowden and how cold Snowden was and how pale Snowden was and how wet the floor around Snowden was. But the second guy. Oh, he's going to tell you some really lovely stories about things he doesn't quite get. Jews for instance.
