Digital photography

Dunno, I kind of like impending subjects...

Here's a bad example, but get what I mean?
The other bodies almost underline the privacy of the moment.

Good point. I think it works better in you photo though!

cheers

Nice to see fuji releasing new firmware for a long superseded camera. Ed, still thinking of selling yours?

Oh yes, not in a position to right now, but hopefully in 2014 I'll be able to sell both for a second hand XE-1.

Seen it now! Lamp post isn't fully centered though so a crop could help.. and minor 'shopping

Here's how that photo-humorist guy might handle it...

stopping now

it's not trippy at all. if you look straight ahead at tall buildings and just rotate
your eyeballs up your brain creates the same effect.

Yes.
But if you're walking through life like a normal person and don't "rotate your eyeballs up",
then there's shared vanishing points to lines parallel in our world.
So - normally - if lines don't vanish even a bit, it means you're looking perpendicularly at shit.
In which case you're not going to be able to see the underside of, for example, the stairs.
In those shifted images you suddenly are, hence the "trippiness".

Took nearly 2500 photos on my holiday in Vietnam.

Got to start working through them tonight.

I bought a 32GB SD from duty free in the end and took a portable hard drive. Transferred files over at one hostel that had modern netbooks for guests, I tried at a different place but USB 1.1 meant nearly 10 hours to transfer 28GB and I didn't fancy leaving my camera and hard drive in the lobby overnight.

Jebus. Be sure to post some. Maybe not all 2500, mind.

why usb 1?

surely a computer of that age would explode when even trying to handle that many photos?

Took nearly 2500 photos

..congratulations.

I enjoy most of the portaits I take of Anders, this one as well.

RE earlier tripod posts, I am going to get a Redsnapper 284 + ball head.
Had good write ups on talk photog forums.
£120 seems reasonable

Have you checked ebay? some serious deals on manfrotto stuff to be had when I was looking.

Tina Kino, this is for you.

So, after wanting to have a bit more control over my photos, I upgraded from a pretty basic point + shoot compact to a G9. I'm slowly getting to know it, but everything's still a bit luck rather than judgement. I'd be grateful for any constructive criticism you lot would care to offer. What do you like, dislike and why? What might I do well to consider in the future?
All pics are straight out of the camera, no digital processing.

There's some good stuff there. Get Lightroom and start shooting raw if you're not doing it already, and start playing around with editing.

Tina Kino, this is for you.

I like the laughing guy with the glasses & white mustache in the center!

Besides that, the whole thing is a wonky mess.
It's wonky on so many levels, you don't know which way to puke, actually.
