Photography Club.

joystik · 03-18-08, 12:36

Hi. I know that some topia members are into photography and i was thinking that perhaps we could make a thread where we could share some of our work or help each other do better photography.

Its just a thought.

Tell me what u think.

Peace.

Joy.

wildburr · 03-18-08, 13:06

Sounds like a good idea to me. I'm in.

procell · 03-18-08, 14:05

Sounds cool, I've owned my own photo studio so I may be of some help to my fellow mycotopiates

prism1234 · 03-18-08, 14:23

I too would be interested... I love taking pics with my digi camera...

joystik · 03-19-08, 08:05

Nice to see that ppl are interested. I guess wo could start posting right here or make a new thread and put Photo Club in ( ) on the title. Just an idea.

Joy.

prism1234 · 03-19-08, 08:32

I vote for a new thread outlining purpose....

camMyco · 03-19-08, 08:48

I'd love to hear some tips on the Canon 5D.

oibchip · 03-19-08, 10:32

I'm in...photography is one of my passions.

I have a Canon SD550 it's a digital elph, what is the 5D? Is it an SLR?

catdaddy · 03-19-08, 11:09

I'm in. The kitten and I specialize in old houses, barns, mansions, etc....

We have a collection of B&W prints we made, in stark black frames, quite impressive if I do say so myself.

Beastmaster · 03-19-08, 11:30

Sounds good to me too, I'm also an amateur photographer.

I would like to suggest that the actual Photography Club threads be created in Lifestyles, seems the appropriate place for non mycology hobbies.

TastyBeverage · 03-19-08, 12:06

I would also be interested in this. My composition isn't too bad, but i really suck at lighting techniques.

Freaky · 03-19-08, 12:09

this idea.

I agree with Beast, lifestyle forum will be best. I'm looking forward to this.

tophatsaremagic · 03-22-08, 01:43

Sounds like a great Idea, I just ordered a new Olympus camera a few days ago. I love taking pictures so I would definitely be down for a good thread, and some tips.

nepenthes_ak · 03-22-08, 02:49

I'm in, for this idea.

I'm going to college for photography right now going to get my general education first then The major (4 years too not 2 like most schools)

Some ideas for outlines

No layered photos (colors can be altered, B&W Hue's and Saturation ect.)

Im a bit worried, cause im worried about showing my girlfriends face though....

omentheduck · 03-22-08, 03:15

very nice idea

Freaky · 03-22-08, 11:22

I've moved this to the Lifestyles Forum with a redirect.

Any particular outline for discussion?

fedshtkpndrk · 03-22-08, 12:08

I like it, thanks for the bump too Freaky

Not sure how I didn't see this earlier.

-feds

mycobri · 03-22-08, 14:12

i spent lots of time in the darkroom back in the day,
special effects was my favorite aspect of film

eventually, i need to join the digital SLR era

so this thread would be great learning information for me

Freaky · 03-22-08, 14:30

Mycobri, I'm getting ready to purchase a digital SLR also, just not quite ready to make the move yet.

I currently have a point and shoot (about 3-4 yrs. old) ~ Cannon Powershot S2 IS ~ and for the record, love this camera. Its taught me a lot about digital photography, but I'm ready to step up a level and really start working on a digital SLR camera. I need to learn a lot I think

I'd also like to discuss opinions on printers. I'd like to start printing some of my digital photos and want to get a decent printer. So anyone who has any info on decent photo printers I'd like to hear thoughts.

joystik · 03-23-08, 22:50

Wow!

Im glad so many ppl joined in.

My GF and I just bought the nikon D300. Im sure we went over the top with this one, but she wants to do some pro work. It my first DSLR, she has worked with Film SLR before. So were gonna have to learn a lot from you experienced guys.

More to come...

Joy.

oibchip · 03-23-08, 23:14

I do have some great shots I've taken..and some good equipment I'd love to share in the proper forum

nepenthes_ak · 04-01-08, 23:40

Maybe we can Ask Hip for a Sub-board which would allow All kinds of photos, instead of having a thread that might inevitably die after so many weeks or months. But of course their would be rules like:

No sexual photos (artistic nudes are OK but nothing explicitly pornographic)
No stealing others photos
Please use photos that are your own

pretty basic rules I would say unless you guys have something else to add, we want to keep this as open minded as we all are.

oibchip · 04-02-08, 01:05

Sounds like some sound suggestions.

nepenthes_ak · 04-02-08, 20:12

Does Any one oppose? Or has any one asked already?

Freaky · 04-02-08, 20:43

I'm not sure a whole new forum would be needed.

We might be able to make a couple sticky threads here in Lifestyle Forum - say one for sharing photos, and one for equipment discussions.

wildburr · 04-02-08, 21:16

Here's a good one from last summer.

nepenthes_ak · 04-03-08, 00:42

I like the sticky, I just hate it when a forum ends up having 10000 stickys makes a forum look cluttered, and difficult to navigate. I like the Sticky idea better. Any one apposed to Edited works (Photo shop?)

My new bullet belt I got in recently, 16. cal 34 inches or so Nickle with Brass Tips. Just a link of Bullets worn as a belt. (goes with the leather jacket with studs, and 16 eye boots hehe)

Here is a Recent one!

joystik · 04-03-08, 15:44

Wow those are nice pics. How about sharing the camera settings when posting images, like Focal Lenght, ISO, Shutter Speed, Aperture, and maybe Camera + Lens Combination, Edited, Unedited?

Just a thought.

Our Nikon D300 Arrived a few days ago. As soon as I learn how to use it ill post pics.

JoY.

oibchip · 04-03-08, 15:54

lawrencephaedrus · 04-03-08, 16:08

Kodak 7.0 Mega Pixel, Auto ISO, Unedited except for resize to 800x600 so it would post.

wildburr · 04-03-08, 16:23

Got some cool B&W ill post later tonight

nepenthes_ak · 04-03-08, 20:20

The bullet Belt picture is Edited, B&W saturated some colors more than others to give it a glow, most of it was done with the flash already any ways.

Camera: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi Exposure: 0.005 sec (1/200) Aperture: f/5.6 Focal Length: 54 mm ISO Speed: 400

wildburr · 04-04-08, 21:48

Here's a couple from when I was UP North (Michigan). The first is this bunch of wild turkeys that come up and feed out of my grandmas yard every day, and the second is a bunch of hugh crows in a tree hanging out by the house. Last some winter pics over new years at my grandmas.
