I suppose that's a valid possibility. But I'd have a hard loving time cropping down if I had the whole animal in the shot. I guess that's what makes him a pro and me not.

When I visited Custer state park this past summer, they actually recommend throwing rocks and sticks at a mountain lion if you encounter one.. but only if you can get ahold of them without crouching down (which apparently they interpret as a threat that you're going to attack). Those photos have me doubting that strategy.

Go dig up a pair of red/cyan glasses and get two titty pictures at the same time! edit - I actually went and did that and it turns a pretty girl into a horrible alien.

Man, those are badass. I've tried doing stuff like that with a master chief doll I have, and I lack the eye for it or something. Everything comes out looking like a cheap snapshot. The snow scene in particular is drat epic.

ZippySLC posted:That's pretty much the genre that I like to shoot, but this guy does it really well. There's lists of plane crashes that get kept, I assume they get mined from FAA investigations. Here's one for Alaska for example: http://planecrashmap.com/list/ak/ Recovering planes from remote sites is really expensive, so typically they get left there to rot. As the map shows, Alaska has nearly a thousand of them on record. If even a small fraction of those have debris left behind, that's still a lot of sites available to visit. edit - poking around a bit deeper because the post made me curious, it looks like the USAF maintains a list of crashes that have debris visible from the air: http://www.1af.acc.af.mil/units/afrcc/annualreports/statecrashlocator/index.asp Including coordinates for each site. Seems like it would be fun to visit some of them. xzzy fucked around with this message at 17:01 on May 2, 2013 |

I think the other part of the problem is the coordinates aren't precise enough. They only publish degrees and minutes, which means any coordinate can cover about a square mile of area. I put a bunch of coordinates into google maps and couldn't find anything.. most of the planes listed are small single engine craft but there's some big planes in there too (there's a DC-8 in Utah) and I couldn't find anything. edit - This is the DC-8: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Airlines_Flight_2860 Looks like most of it was cleaned up, if you google around you can find some articles about people visiting the site and seeing rubble. I'm guessing the Air Force report isn't necessarily current for how much "plane carnage" actually exists. xzzy fucked around with this message at 20:47 on May 2, 2013 |

I could never make it as an artist, because my blurbs would be all "uh, I was walking around and I had a camera with me. I saw this cool thing so I took a picture of it. Then I pushed some sliders around in lightroom until it looked awesome and finally I uploaded it." Only the biggest badasses wear sunglasses in space. Someone needs to donate a portfolio website to NASA, navigating those pictures is excruciating.

If you dig around a bit, you can find spectral sensitivity charts for pretty much any film out there, which would be an aid for "faithful" reproduction in post. But to completely geek out about it, I guess you'd have to take into account the sensitivity of your sensor as well. I'm sure it's possible to merge the two curves but I would have no idea how to do it.

I think it falls into the "remix" category. That is, it's a unique expression but it couldn't exist without someone else doing prior work. The guy who recorded the amen break was an artist in his own right but he had absolutely no role in the electronic music revolution.

dukeku posted:I think one of the fundamental problems with this thread is people assuming that a challenge to the quality of a photo is a challenge to the status as 'art'. Something can be garbage and art. They aren't mutually exclusive. Or you know, it's art they don't like. Though when that happens I tend to just shut my mouth but we all know how restraint works on the internet.

RangerScum posted:While I think explaining why you like a work of art is hard to do, I also find it really interesting to read why people like different types of art, so you shouldn't shut your mouth. There have been plenty of times where I didn't appreciate a certain photograph or painting, but after reading someone else's explanation of the work, and what it meant to them, I found myself enjoying it and similar works to a much greater degree. In principle I agree, but it doesn't work on a forum because it turns in to that disaster we had to deal with over the last couple pages.

Yeah the processing on that Smart fellow's other stuff is pretty lame but that first one that was posted is great. A lot of storm chaser photography doesn't do a very good job with composition, it feels more documentary than anything. It's just "here's an epic storm cell, isn't it nice?" and that's all you get. I appreciate there isn't a lot of time to think about composition, you're either trying to catch up to the storm or get the gently caress out of its way, but it does mean the rare shot that gets everything right stands out a lot more.

It really blows my mind to see proper color images of an era I've only seen in black and white. It makes it feel way more modern than it is. I wonder what folks 100 years from now will think of the photos we're taking today.
