I'll be sure to frame it. I wouldn't want to sin towards humanity
Here's what I thought would be, an old abandoned railway substation.
When I had a peak inside the window, i saw that someone had made it their home.
They've put couches, drapes, all the fixings in there to make it feel comfortable
I would almost pay genuine money to have you scan that!
Unfortunately, I don't have a scanner, but I'll tell you what I can do.
Using my camera, it's possible to take a some high res photos of the pages so that you can stitch them together.
-If you'd like, pm me a place where you'd want the large pics to be uploaded and I'll see about getting some shots of it this weekend.
If you have a piece of glass large enough, you should place it on top, to help smooth it out first. Obviously, it gets harder to avoid the reflection though.
Almost done reading Understanding Exposures by Bryan F. Peterson, it's a highly recommendable book for all beginners(like myself). It features great and understandable texts and definitions, great pictures all with a little text explaining what settings he used and why, and it also gives you a very good idea on what settings to use for the kind of picture you want.
That's good to hear, looking forward to seeing your photos soon
I remember my first photography lesson, my grandfather was a shooter for a local newspaper. He'd give me one of his Leica M3's ( no meter ), a few rolls of tri-x and say 250th at f/8..have fun
Found an photo I took last year. Nothing mindblowing, just thought it was interesting..the monkey was chilling underneath that car. Really hot day
Could anyone explain this to me please? In the book(Understanding Exposures by Bryan F. Peterson) he explains that sometimes a -2/3 light meter reading can be used to get very dark shadows and thereby achieve a great contrast. Now this puzzled me because I'm not sure how that is supposed to look through the viewfinder's light meter.
(could any do a quick shop and point out where a -2/3 is?)

Here you go Assuming each dot on that scale represents 1 full stop in exposure, this will give you -2/3
great stuff eraser, would be cool to see a short mini-tut on what you're doing to get those colors
sure, to get the "Gears of War aquamarine effect" the bulk of the post work is done in DPP; here is a screen of the settings with a before and after results:
I then do some other adjustments in photoshop, including the final crop, hue/sat/color balance, etc.
My latest session. I tried a first, in that the camera was on a tripod and I had a remote shutter in hand. It was so great getting to be close and interact with the subject with no camera in front of my face.
These are my favorite kinds of lighting tools, you can take semi-cheap equipment and make it work like a million bucks (not saying your stuff is cheap mind you):
Lighting panels are so amazing and cheap. As an example, both those panel frames and diffusion fabrics were about the same price as just the fabric grid on that small softbox. In B&W, color balance doesn't matter, so I could literally have 40 euro hardware store lights behind them.
) Good one dude:p. That is just an extreme close up :P. Same day but this time here is the sea. I actually had went in for a bath that day. ) Am my not crazy? :P. And I really like your pic Xenobond.:)

Purplish shadows, and aquamarine highlights.

Malaysia, not far from my grandparent's house. They live near a forest, so it's not uncommon to see monkeys running about

I like taking macro shoots so i took this yesterday.
It's not THAT great but the view was magnificent. I had to open my window and almost froze to death.
Also I notice there are some black spots on mah photos I hope it's just the UV shield that's dirty. I need to compare shots with/without.
Straight from my Droid, whoever thought Marcus would find himself in the same room as that light?
@JordanW, thanks for you're flicker link. Lots of good references in there
