I love the end of the video where he fumbles the camera and, instead of editing that part out, it's simply bleeped out and the fun continues :cool:

10 minute video on kite photography. It's a good watch, the guy's enthusiasm is really infectious :3: If nothing else, check out the simple yet ingenious version for a disposable camera at 5:25.

Great video. Thanks for sharing this.

Just remember, you were wrong and apologize...all will be well. And frame that picture just the way you have it displayed here, torn in half and canted apart.

Yeah. It looks better as you've displayed it, in two pieces. It's art now.

That guy is terrible :suicide:

How relevant this guy's story is. I just started going through last year's photos (I started shooting in May 2009) and began the process of deleting what I would now categorize as particularly bland, uninteresting photos. I'd like to be able to also delete some of these from my Flickr stream, too, but that process would be daunting due to the awkwardness of doing it from the web interface.

I deleted 450 photos last night and got about 1/3 of the way through my collection of 4,000 I have stored locally. I came across quite a few that today I'd keep as well, so that was encouraging. The saying, "The difference between pros and amateurs is the number of photos one deletes", is poignant.

I am 5'10" and I have to work to get a unique perspective. You freaks are lucky.

The front wheel changes aperture, the back wheel changes shutter, if it's in manual mode. If it's in Shutter priority, only the back wheel changes things. If it's in aperture priority, the front wheel does stuff. If it's in P, then neither of the wheels do anything.

That's funny - almost completely different from Canon (except for aperture priority enabling the front wheel). In AE on my Canon, at leaset, the back wheel allows you to adjust the exposure +/- 2 stops. How does the Nikon let you do this?

If you have the cash (~$400), the S90 is a great P&S. I put it in my pocket and carry it with me everywhere I go. http://www.flickr.com/photos/tetrad/

I just pulled the trigger on the S90 on Amazon. Can't wait.

Yeah, I've been carrying my 85 f/1.8 around more often lately because of just this. It's funny how you can begin to spot certain lenses or perhaps just focal lengths & apertures. The 85 seems have have its own signature.

Yes there is a big difference between lovely tone-mapped images and some of your landscapes. I guess it puzzles me why nobody wants to call it the right thing and then get downright hostile about it when it's brought up.

Well, I for one appreciate you explaining the difference, as I was equating HDR with lovely tonemapping and not really thinking twice about it. Will I start saying "lovely tonemapping" instead of "HDR"? Maybe, but HDR is already villainous enough such that it might be impossible to save it from its misunderstood fate.

Also, people are coming off as hostile b/c you were rather :smug: in your explanation.

Just saw this on lifehacker:

The three-film thing looks a little gimmicky, but I'll be damned if I'm not going to try to build this!

If I had any ability to build things, I'd probably try to do this as well. I really like the alternating between color & b/w film.

Is there a story behind the bannings? I mean, there always is, but is there a good one :)

Getting a 5D2 has made me a better photographer. Not because I'm taking better pictures, but rather because I don't have enough disc space on my laptop to keep every 21mp photo that manages to make its way into lightroom.

Steven Spielberg really blew a lot of minds when he did the dolly zoom on the beach in "Jaws". Such a great effect.

I had no idea that was how that effect was created. Thanks. Seems like it would be fantastically hard to get right/smooth.

I would buy an 85mm or a 135mm faster than ISO6400. Not my best material not my worst.
