Thread: Photography and such

I like the foggy ones, it's amazing what a bit of post processing can do to an otherwise boring picture.

I decided to do a photoshoot with my friend and her guy. It was my first time photographing people like this so I was an awful director :/ but I got some good shots out of it

Me and my friends had a glowstick party and I had some fun experimenting with long exposures

Did you also see the Mauna Key observatories? That would be great!

Two of the best places for telescopes in the world!

Thanks!
No, I haven't the Mauna Key observatories but I'm sure they would have been cool to see!
And trust me, I really needed a new camera. Every time I use my old camera it takes super grainy pictures.
For example, I took this picture the other day.
Before and after editing(after still isn't that great)


I like to call this "The Dark Side of Technology" because while some think it can bring us closer together, I believe it can also bring us farther apart. I took this when my friends were over in my dorm and playing Happy Pets on Facebook while I was sitting there bored out of my mind.

Haven't posted here in FOREVER... so here's some more

Taken years ago.. recently found this one again


My most recent rainbow cake(third one!). I don't think the editings turned out that great, but it's still a cool picture


Taken in Hawaii last summer


My friend, who is not Muslim. We dressed her up as much as possible just for fun to see if anyone would recognize her. Although a bit pale, I think she can pull it off

I have been taking pictures since I was 7 years old, and nothing was more fun in high school than my photo classes. Experiment as much as you can, and take as many shots as you have space for.

Have you tried filtersI know a lot can be done in the editing process, but adding effect to the original light can be neat also.

You do well with people. Keep trying out that mode for a while.

I actually thought this was VERY nicely edited, other than a little bit of graininess still visible on your jeans. You have a great talent

I haven't posted in awhile. I think I've gotten quite a bit better.

Nice focus on a single element. Really draws attention to the subject.

Sorry for the hugeness... I was too lazy to re-size

I'm not even going to make quotes of all the pictures in this thread that I think are wonderfully taken. (There are too many) You definitely have an eye for it!

Though.... now I think I'll have to make a thread of my own.

Haven't posted here in forever.

So... I went to the Grand Canyon two days ago.
(I had to compress the shit out of this so the quality sucks)



Oh and I made cake pops once upon a time.
(ONCE AGAIN HAD TO COMPRESS THE SHIT OUT OF IT SORRY)
