Digital SLR / DSLR Camera Question / DSLR Thread 2

That's why I chose it. It forces you to really think about it. You could show a pic of a parent at his kid's graduation, or a guy standing over his newly polished motorcycle. There are a gazillion ways to come at the word. 'Lust' is just too easy.
 
would love to join in the fun but i dont have my camera as of the moment and the other body wont be here till i get my tax return...
 
Will reply to the rest later - looks interesting!

FYI, just back from Kamera Korner's 'Going out of business sale' :(
 
Pride sounds good. I'm in. Just have no idea how I'll fit it in with doing 3, maybe 4 shoots before then, and working 50 hours a week at my new job, and looking after 2 kids, and 2 taekwondo classes, and creating the TKD clubs website, and a law suit, and running a non profit. Um...
 
I'm interested in the contest.
 
I'll give it a try with my P&S. The DSLR is finally back with it's owner.

The only, 'fine point' I'd make on the amount of PS, is that I think it should still look like a photo. No collages or heavy effects type work.

Just my preference. ;)
 
I decided to try some action and candid shots at a Special Olympics. I thought some turned out quite good.

Critiques welcome. A pretty girl has been included in the last picture to encourage positive comments.:)

Any room still in the contest? Any guidelines to subject material? I need to get off my ass and shoot.

Plenty of room. I just checked, the BARF V Bulletin software allows up to 18 choiced in a poll. Here are the confirmed participants so far:

1. Wannabe
2. TylerW
3. jbleezyj
4. Joebar4000
5. cycle61
6. VeloceMoto
7. BrassPremier
8. Storm Shadow

Speak up if I missed you. Or, if you want to join up last-minute, let me know before Feb 28th.

No limits on subject matter. The only limitation is don't make me put NSFW in the title. As I mentioned before, I'm trying my best to put as few limitations on the subject matter as possible. Plus, I don't want to put up any ideas to skew what people end up doing. I want to be surprised by what people come up with.

And, the whole idea is to give people an idea of what it would be like to work on a magazine piece. You're a photographer, and you are told what the article is about. Now, go out and bring back a picture that best shows your idea of the theme of the article.

Here's a repeat summary of the rules:

1. Pictures must be submitted in 800x600 (or 600x800) pixels size.
2. No nudity or anything that would make me put an NSFW label on the thread.
3. Pictures must be submitted to me no later than midnight (Pacific Time) on February 28th. (I'll PM my e-mail address to the participants once I finalize the list.)
4. BARF voters will judge which picture best describes the chosen word. (Independent of picture quality.)
5. Pics must be taken after contest start. (No old files.)
6. Winner gets to choose theme of the next round. (If there is one.)

The theme is PRIDE

Like the contest idea. :eek:)

WTF, Kamera Korner decided to close up? Aww. I like those guys.

Anyone have suggestions on image editing to get red LED's to look right (with a night-time background)?
 
I was just gonna use it as a backdrop, but the model was like "Ooh, can I climb on these?"

*scrambles up wall*

"Awesome!"

And I can't really post the location, at least not publicly. I'm sworn to moderate secrecy. :shhh

Dude, you are officially the KING of finding photo shoot locations. I bow down to your awesomeness! :hail

Don't tell anyone where that is. You need to guard that site like it's the awesome city of gold that it is. :thumbup
