You'd need to get a really good professional camera. Thats why they are such nice quality.

Sergio

You don't need a good camera, just awesome photoshop skills. I wish I had them before I wasted a shitload of money on a camera.

Well ya i know that. Its like a mix. I dont have that skill to go out and take a pic from a certain angle and have it look badass. Im in Digital Photo in HS and its just a gift that i dont have. lol

How much did you splash out Sergy?

That makes sense, because Yahoo owns Flickr. Kinda how you see YouTube videos on GoogleVideo ever since Google bought YouTube.

Hey hobbit, I remember you saying somewhere on these forums that you wish you didn't buy a high quality camera and that all you needed was to be good at photoshop.

What exactly do you do to your photos to make them better?

Sergio
11-01-2007, 09:26 PM
Well I don't do much to these, in fact in some I didn't touch them at all (well the AvA ones). But as long as something isn't completely white or black (fffff, 000000), then you have complete control over that color. You just gotta learn everything in Photoshop under image > adjustments.... levels, curves, exposure, etc.

Sample of how you don't need a great camera.


The first one looks like it's totally blown out, but the white parts aren't 100% white so they were still able to be saved.

Also, NEVER put the camera in "auto".. use manual every time.

Omg definitely no. It just died on me a few days ago. I barely bought it in March I think, maybe even later. And I didn't even use it a lot, I mostly use my acoustic. It sounds decent, and it looks nice... but it died to fast.

I saw that controller at Wal-Mart for $50 or $60. It looked kind of cool. But I am still diggin my normal white controller. I have had my 360 since Feb 07 and I love it to bits. But my true love is still my NES.

Sergio

Probably. Here's one I took with a camera from the 60's. The film isn't even the standard film so it had to be sent out to some lab.



It's not supposed to be pretty

I took these with another film camera I found in the garage. The colors are really vivid. The lines aren't photoshopped, the camera has a panoramic setting.

Lolz thanks everyone. I'm copyrighting the image as I speak.

And guess what?! I have two photoshoots this week! One is with this band (http://www.myspace.com/playforkeepsrock) on Friday. And another with a kind of shitty band on Sunday, but they're going into a professional studio soon so I'm hoping to catch em early before they get famous (huge assumption, they probably won't get famous).

I also have another one with this band (http://www.myspace.com/aphoenixforever), but not until they play a show in LV and I don't know when they will.

These are all live shoots btw.
