Dude, that top pic is friggin' sweet, love the cropping, offcenter focus, and use of perspective...could use some better lighting, but it is a parking garage

it's called Aperature and Shutter speed,
Yup I set mine also, I just used a filter so I could keep the shutter open longer without overexposing anything. The filters I used do not add color to the shot - Neutral density not a blue filter, and I used a polarizer to prevent reflections on the windows.
I would think you would know how to change those instead of just slapping on a filter and opening the lens for 20 seconds from a side angle of a car with a picture of absolutely nothing....
So a picture of a parking garage with lights showing through the open door behid the car and a cable fence in the foreground is "something"?
I mean you are right your side angle picture of nothing is 23094903284x better then these pictures


I never said it was better

Like I said, you are a good photographer, but your side angle shots are of nothing...
Nope, they are of my car
anyone with a 20 second exposure and a filter can take that picture...
Go for it then and knock yourself out. I never said it was a hard shot to get just like your shots are not hard to get. You are just getting butt hurt here because someone other than Mr. LookingForAttention posted pictures here...
You definately don't need a 900 dollar camera with probably an even more expensive lens...
Nope not for this kind of shot you don't. I never said you did.
The fact that you think i'm blending under exposed light with over-exposed light(probably think i'm doing it in photoshop too )
Nope, you left the shutter open too long with a bright light source in the frame:




Nice lens flare on this one, and just what did you focus on - if anything?:


Wow look at all that dust on your sensor - or is that part of your artistic expression?




makes me wonder if you are just a man with an expensive camera instead of an actually artsy person that likes to take pictures and capture the moment and trys to capture different things....
Like I care what you wonder or think about...
I just think you being the good photographer that you are, that you would have used that same filter and made an actual picture of something... Give me your filter and I can take that exact same picture with a 40 dollar camera from Target....
Sorry I do not loan my things out to deadbeats that do not pay their bills
Oh and if you wanna talk about distracting objects....
Looks like a tree behind the car to me. The shot was not important enough to spend the time to set it up differently. I was just killing time not trying to get a magazine cover shot here.
Since when did Subaru's have tree's naturally growing out of the middle of them... Last I checked one of the basic rules is you shouldn't have ****(i.e. Trees and telephone poles) growing out the top of your car... but hey that's just photography 101, i'm the newbie what do i know...
Good question, when did Subarus have poles growing out of them?

Congrats!! I have been shooting pictures for 6 months, I am glad you can pick my pictures apart... HAHA I have never said I was even an OK photographer, because I'm not. I still am learning and still have a lot to learn...
Nope, they are of my car
Right... And I was just saying you could take better pictures of your car then a dead center side angle of nothing.... A picture is suppose to say a thousand words... Only thing yours says is "I'm lazy and can only take 3 of the same picures with different exposures"

Go for it then and knock yourself out. I never said it was a hard shot to get just like your shots are not hard to get. You are just getting butt hurt here because someone other than Mr. LookingForAttention posted pictures here...
Honestly I'm not butt hurt at all, I was just hoping for some quality pictures from SRIC's Photo guy... I think you are the one getting butt hurt

Nope not for this kind of shot you don't. I never said you did.
Umm... Thank you for proving my point.... What you just said is the only point that I tried to say before you got sand in your vagina...

Nope, you left the shutter open too long with a bright light source in the frame:
Ya, I already complain about those pictures, ask justin I was *****ing the entire time... and a little 411, I didn't leave the shutter open for to long, the problem with those pictures is the background was bright as ****, and there wasn't any light in the foreground and I had no means of artificial lighting... Nothing more you could do there buddy...

Nice lens flare on this one:
Ya well last I checked when you aim a lens directly at a light source(the lights on the building) the lights tend to flare... Not to mention this shot was taken as I literally ran into the middle of the street and try to take the pictures as fast as possible before the cop left, I didn't exactly have time to prepare for the cop...

Wow look at all that dust on your sensor - or is that part of your artistic expression?
Wow, Nice to know one of your counter-arguments is that my lens was dirty LOL, how stupid, that come back is about as good as your 3 pictures of nothing


Like I care what you wonder or think about...
You obviously do, because you spent the time to reply the way that you did and research my pictures.... try again...
Sorry I do not loan my things out to deadbeats that do not pay their bills
I'm confused, when have I never not paid my bills, and if you are talking about what I know you are talking about. I was more then entitled to it, not to mention ALOT more in return. Trust me I talked to B.A.R. and they definately agree with me

Looks like a tree behind the car to me. The shot was not important enough to spend the time to set it up differently. I was just killing time not trying to get a magazine cover shot here.
Again which is all I was trying to say, is that you can take better pictures then you did.... And I changed the picture just so the tree is dead center for you!!

Good question, when did Subarus have poles growing out of them?

Congrats, I will be the first to tell you that, that picture is ****ing horrible!

Why would you even post a picture and waste bandwidth for a picture you think is "****ing horrible!"? I do not think mine are total crap and many here would agree. Are they cover shots - hell no, not even close but they are not crap.

And I never said your lens was dirty, the dirt is on the camera's sensor and you shoud clean it... I have been civil to you with regards to your photography and even offered helpful suggestions in the past. Each of which you have dismissed and thrown out an excuse for.

Oh, and for the record I have had a non throwa away camera (digital or otherwise) for all of 13 months and I have never had any photography training so in terms of time, I am not that far ahead of you.

I have over 100 gigs of bandwith... and TONS of room, it definately isn't taking up space... trust me... LOL.

The sensor actually isn't dirty, it was the lens... Hints why in the other pictures it isn't dirty...

Actually, I have taken your helpful suggesiton and constructive criticism into consideration along with everyone elses, how else would I improve if I didn't... I would say that I am improving pretty damn fast at that, so I must be doing something right...


That makes two of us, I have also not taken ANY form of photography training, not even in highschool. I was gunna sign up for a digital photography class at Seirra College or something, because I really want to improve, so we are on the same wave length when it comes to that part...

But what about the rest of the world that does not want to have to download 20 oversized images on a slow network when we should be working instead of browsing I-Club?

Trust me it is not on the lens. You can have all kinds of dust on the lens and it will not show up in the picture at all, in fact the lens can not focus on anything right up against it and the spots are sharp so it is clearly not on the lens. The reason it is showing up in some shots and not others is due to smaller aperture settings or longer exposure times.

I doubt you will do this, but:
Set your camera to the highest aperture # your lens supports and take a picture of the blue sky and post the shot and prove me wrong. You will be surprised how much crap is on the sensor that does not show up in most pictures. Mine was dirty the moment I took the camera out of the box.

I have to clean my sensor at least once a month.

You will need the swabs for your camera and the Eclipse cleaning solution, which is also great for cleaning fingerprints and smudges on the lens elements
