See what you mean about the foot...!
Maybe crop closer to the bloke's shoulder, losing the railing & half the foot, then clone the rest of the foot out?

I like it!
The couple look decidedly 'shady'.:)

Thanks, i know what you mean it reminds me of the black and white picture behind the bar in the movie "The Shining" :D
 




just started night photography. heres a few that i took last night when i was fairly drunk. these are roughly one minute exposures, at 16 aperture i think. my camera only goes up to thirty seconds so was using the stopwatch on my mobile to give me a guide.

does it show?
 
Exposure's good and sharp, composition's a bit off. The lit subjects seem a bit like an afterthought, as there's not fully in the frame. You should have got more of them and less of the dark space.

Here's one from me to keep things plodding along: Typewriter
 
posting these links in this thread instead of staring a new one just to ask do you think these images are under-saturated and look washed out? The reason i'm asking here is I've posted them on the dpreview forums and the posters there said they did, don't know if it's my monitor but they look ok to me, admittedly not as bright as some of the images i've seen but certainley not what i'd call under-saturated

Not saturation, no. They look like they just came straight out of any average camera though. You need more contrast or something. Play with curves a little.
 
I don't have a flashy camera : :(

but I do know :D If the subjet is tall trun camera Portrate thay way you not cut bits off top & bottom ;)

I like Whisper, but not the weird colours. They could grow on me though.

Monster's ace as it is, but I'm not keen on Snap. I can see why you took it, and why lots of people will like it, but it's just not really my thing. Maybe a tighter/square crop?

Here's one of mine, my favourite shot for ages, if ever: Sandstorm. Possibly more later.

hehe, i like that - pity about the structure in the background.

the colours on whisper, i like - its cross processed agfa film kinda stylee, I'm not keen on Snap either, but I thought it made quite as good Paul Russel stylee shot :D

Exposure brings the look and feel of film to digital photography. Simulate the warmth and softness of real world film, both color and black and white. Reproduce realistic film grain, and simplify your digital photography workflow.

You can now digitally simulate the vivid colors of Velvia(r), the rich blacks of Kodachrome(r), the sensitivity of Ektachrome(r), and the characteristics of dozens of other film stocks. Exposure also models the size, shape, and color of real world film grain. Use this level of subtle reproduction to simulate the distinct looks of films such as Ilford(r) 3200 Delta and long discontinued Ektachrome EES and GAF(r) 500.
 
One from Ghent.....

Here's an image I took on a visit to Ghent (Belgium) at the end of May...

http://daveamis.freeservers.com/gent06_33.html

The conditions were changeable with bright patches accompanied by the odd brief but forceful shower. Which meant diving into cafes and bars every now and then to keep dry but hey, there could be worse ways of passing the time! However, the weather did provide some interesting light which I hope I captured in this shot...

Cheers,
Dave
 
My friend was wearing some really outrageous shoes, so I asked if I could take a photo of her feet. This is one of the results

http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v470/loulou777/?action=view&current=coolshoes.jpg

It was a lot of fun as she has about a million pairs of shoes so I ended up taking loads of photos of her feet, which I think boosted her confidence as she's feeling a bit down after a break up.

Feet are great :cool:

edited to add, I cropped it and added some glow

i hate feet, but that is quite a good photo... nice shoes to :oops:

why thank you. :)

All women, even if they don't like feet, understand that shoes are very important :cool:

I'm very pleased with it. The original is very high res, poster size in fact, I thought it best, just in case we needed any posters of feet. As you sometimes do.
 
Some perv will buy feet posters one ebay, I'd put money on it!

(i'm not a girl as you well know, but I do like girls things :oops: )

Selling posters of feet on ebay!

I don't think so.


My friend is an artist and has a different and rather fun idea about what she would like to do with the photos and I think it's very amusing, potentially lucrative and would be a laugh to do.

Can't say what it is tho as am sworn to secrecy. ;)

Great light. It would be interesting to see what this would look like in black and white.

Nice, I like the perspective of the first one. There's a guy somewhere that does long night exposures of beaches and they are utterly amazing
