new photography thread
lol..you're right..I noticed it when I turned off the lights here..
I was like WTF, how??
yeah, I tried avoiding it, but there was reflection everywhere I went. Wish I could I shoot outside the building, like on the roof, but if I do that they may call the popo on me

That was me holding it with just my hand in the air, close-up focus setting, and flash off. Camera really takes care of the rest.
As for my EE lab, I love playing with stuff up there. I was building that circuit for the fun of it. It was a stop light with adjustable timing for all 3 lights, not just all three fixed at a certain ratio. Was pretty simple.

Rep Power: 434 like the guys at accessphoto said, i dont think the 1st picture is all that great. you should've entered the pic with the ITR instead.

It kinda looks like a GT4 shot with that bluish tone.

lol..not at all 
peeking..
why is it that in RAW the pics come out so little? do they have to be like decoded to JPEG or something before being able to see them? I don't have CS2 so I'm kinda having a hardtime..

Rep Power: 434 cubanmike - you will need a RAW image viewer or photoshop cs2. i believe nikon has a program that will work, but you have to pay for that program.

he he..
Thanks Infinite, that's what I thought..I tried getting CS2 from Download.com, but it says Windows couln't open it..after downloading 307 MB
..as of now I'm using the program that came with the the camera to edit the photos, but it's very limited to what you can do, plus I don't see anywhere that it'd let me convert the files to JPEG so..till I get the converter program, I'll just save the pics on JPEG format

Rep Power: 434 you have to get adobe photoshop cs2 and adobe raw converter. i have taken the liberty of uploading the raw converter to my website: http://pictures.dirtysamurai.com/mme...ra_Raw_3_3.zip
instructions:
extract file to [C]:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe\Plug-Ins\CS2\File Formats
replace [C] with the proper drive letter.
