FIA introduces new rules and regulations for 2012 Formula 1 season. Criticism raised over 'muddy' interpretations.

Quote from Taavi(EST) :

First and probably last rally with the K-5

Sorry for the amount of crap :P

Lol wut. Looks great to me, sharpness, contrast and colours, all good. Digging the natural look.

CS pre-1.0 beta versions were pretty mad back then (yes, I'm old). Whacky features and tweaks came and went and much hilarity (and whining) was going around every new version.

Quote :

BETA 4.0
[11.5.99]

» loose guns are removed at the start of a round. (no more gun running)

:grumpy:

IMO CS:S is still good fun but since they removed some of the potentially silly stuff like moving hostages around and started to take itself too seriously it went downhill. Prepare to get your ass handed back to you if you take the plunge now.

I snatched SimCity 4 Deluxe and some other various good bits lately from Steam sales.

Anyone tried SpaceChem yet? I'm hearing rave reviews.

Quote from Becky Rose :

Deserve it? Yes they do - but it's more than that, Sony is a symbol that represents the worst aspects of corporate greed.

Pretty much this. Reading back Sony's history, the current company is on a completely different mindset. Scare tactics and lawyers instead of trying to make something worthwhile. No wonder their stock price and reputation is going down the drain.

Couple of hours of studio work from yesterday. Details at my Flickr if anyone's interested.

Another one from Saturday.

Quote from Feffe85 :

Was a little bored some days ago, so went out on my balcony and took some pictures. This is just one of many (300+).

Info: Nikon D7000, Nikkor 85/2.8 PC-E..

Cool lens. Did you add blur in post or is that OOF straight from the lens? What aperture? Any experience with Nikkor wide angle tilt-shifts?

Here's one from the Saturday shoot. Super cool girl (and my jacket).

Ok, question time for a change.

Had a long shoot today with a first-timer model. Very exhausted (not because of the model, she was great) afterwards as I had done very little shooting this year because of my day job burnout.

Anyone else having tough time getting on tracks after a long or short hiatus from behind the camera?

All three PS3 owners cry in outrage.

@Don

Kickass flare colours.

Couple of shots from the exhibition. Things went great. Lots of visitors and good times.

Not enough hats.

Prints have arrived! They look amazing! Here's a preview of one of five photos! The quality is awesome! Very excited as you can see!

Taking my words back, Webber drove better and better to the end.

Petrov with the steering wheel in his hands after the jump was much lolz.

Looks like Webber has already retired from F1.

Somehow kinda forgot to post more of these from late summer 2010.



Details at my Flickr if someone's interested.

dude NSFW tags please


What kind of sick bastard does something like that

Could've been accidentally dropped from a helicopter, who knows.

Anyhoo. Not sure if relevant but I'm putting up my very first exhibition on April 16th. Huge prints coming. No money left for the 70-200 VRII this year.

More ghostly girls.





Double exposures in camera. Some colour fine tuning in post.

Quote from P5YcHoM4N :

No doubt someone can help me out here, I recall playing a game at a lan party some years ago (2005/6 I think), all I can remember about it was a futuristic setting and on MP you had vehicles, land, air and space (you could actually enter space) with the ability to drive land based vehicles into air craft and take them into space (for whatever reason), or just dump them out of the back midflight for the mad lulz.

If anyone has the name of the game, I'd appreciate it.

UT 2004 mod perhaps? I have faint memories of crazy ass cool mods from that era.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

Good thing about the 35/2 is that it's pretty damn cheap. The 35/1.8 is also cheap and works pretty well on FX bodies, from what I've seen. Another to consider is the Mir-24N, an old Soviet manual focus lens that's actually pretty stellar.

Gotta have autofocus for drunk and depressed shooting.

Here's a shot from a promo series I'm working on.



More to the ghostly themed shoot coming sporadically at my Flickr.

Quote from DeadWolfBones :

Just before Christmas I was surprise gifted with a Konica Hexar AF. At the time, I had never heard of the camera, and it was clear the guy who gave it to me hadn't either. After doing some internet research, I realized I had something special on my hands. For those of you who don't know, the Hexar AF is a rangefinder-style camera with a fixed, extremely sharp 35mm f/2 lens, leaf shutter, and nearly totally silent operation. It's almost the perfect street camera--the only issue being that it's slightly bulky by today's standards. More info here and here.

Anyway, I've been shooting with it a bit, though not anywhere near as much as I should. And what shooting I have done, I've done with crappy, expired film (Fuji Superia 400). I'm pondering selling it, because I really just don't shoot enough film (I've got a Super Program that hasn't fired a single frame in 2 years), but there's something about this one... I might not be able to get rid of it.

Non-impressive/uninspired test photos below! (Processed a bit in LR3...)

Cool camera but don't know why I'm not feeling the 35 mm f2 look. I've had my eye on the Nikkor 35 f2 for a while but having trouble finding shots that would make me pull the trigger. Nikkor 35 mm f1.4 is another matter and way too expensive for me .

I'm kinda mixed about the film stuff too. I'd either take the crappiest stock and worst optics and wrong processing or super smooth medium format look but between those it's kinda dead for me.

Quote from Myffe :

REALLY nice photos wow


Darn so many ideas but finnish spring is way too ugly to shoot...Cant wait til summer!

This man speaketh the truth! You lucky Yanks and Brits have no idea what kinda crap shoot it is down here at the moment. It's like regular Spring got together with Amy Winehouse.

Pretty much this except no carrier or manufacturer hubs. WinMo7 is pretty amazing OS by the way. Super slick and so different look and feel from plain old iOS or Android's ugly mess.

Quote from majod :

still snow?

Snowed about 30 cm on Saturday morning out of nowhere. Goddamn Finland goddamnit.

Nowhere near worst song ever. Just some mildly annoying changes in the background noise that you can tune out if choose so.

From my walk earlier today.
