Anyone want to go downtown to snap some pics with me?

[Tracy]

I have a photography class this 1/4 and I have to take pics pretty much everyday for the next 10 weeks. If anyone is interested in going out with me and riding bikes around downtown to take pics any day really, hit me up via pm or e-mail [email protected]

I pretty much suck, so I would like to chill with someone who knows what they are doing kind of...which could be anyone since everyone probably knows more than me

I am about to leave the house in 15 minutes to head down to Little 5 then to Boulevard, then to 17th street. I am going on my bicycle. So wish me luck. Yesterday I wasn't looking where I was going while I was bike riding and I fell off the curb in front of everyone at Atlantic Station. It was pretty funny.

Edgewood at night can be decent for photos of just buildings and such. The lighting can be really cool down there in some areas. Ever get Guitar Hero/Rock Band?

[changaroo]

lol. watch out around atlantic station. if they see you with a camera theyre going to come after you!

Yea, the shopping center or the street? I didn't get it yet. Do you ever work on the weekends? Dan and I were there Saturday. We got NFS Undercover. They didn't have Little Big World! Sup with that?

[BTEC]

hope u wearing ur little pink helmet and elbow pads this time. lol!!!

[Revmaynard]

Shopping center. If you're trying to get something out of stock lemme know and when we get it in I can just hold it for you. I work different hours, but I always work Tues-Thurs 4-close. I'm working 1-close Friday though. PM me if you are looking for something at the moment.

[Tracy]

Rev, thanks!

[Revmaynard]

Yep. No problem.

[changaroo]

Rev, thanks!

they're really anal about taking pictures there. i asked why last time, and they told me they didnt want anybody "replicating" atlantic station.

who knows. stupid rent-a-cops.

the 17th st. bridge is a good place to shoot. u can see traffic both ways going in / out of the city. good place to do light trails :)

Keep in mind that I have to post all of the pics I take, even the bad ones. I have bracketed most of them, that's why a lot of them look the same at different exposures. Right now our class is focusing on exposure, so the composition and all of that isn't there yet. I don't have that natural eye. I have to learn all of the techniques. I'm excited to see how my pics change over the 1/4.

Any advice is appreciated. Things to keep n mind though:
I cannot use PS for any of them.
I have to use the camera in manual mode.
This ain't no fancy camera. I am using what the school gives you: a Canon A530.

I know where a house with a cool Obama wooden cut out thing is in the yard near Little Five Points if you're interested in taking some pictures of it. LOL I just noticed those photos you took a photo of. LOL

[Revmaynard]

On Mclendon Ave. Turn left on Mclendon from Moreland going towards Memorial. Keep going down until the red light and it's on the left in the yard before the next red light. The first light is Oakdale and the next one it is before is Candler Park Dr. During the holidays they put a santa hat on it. Lol

[james]

those cameras they give you at the cage have been around the block.

get some folks together on a weekend and ill go with fo sho.

do they give you a tripod at the cage for those little things? i like your skyline shots, but it would be beneficial (also cliche and played out) if you made it a longer exposure of the city, the the car taillights would look a lot better instead of standing cars. do it. bareford would love it, maybe.

[blacknismoz]

Oh yeah they will do that... I got kicked outta there 2 times.. One on my bike and other cause my car is to loud.. Also I LIVE THERE..

[DinanM3atl]

There is a little something something going on this Sunday.

Urban Exploring and photography in a single meet. It has grown a bit larger than I would have originally liked but I know some people will flake.

PM me if you want details. Downtown. Blown out/Run down buildings, graffiti and more! Being adventurous is a must as we will be 'sneaking' into some places, hoisting ourselves into others and the 'locals' can be friendly or they can be not friendly.

I know some cool spots though ;)

[DinanM3atl]

I have been told not to shoot twice. Apparently it is private property. I was even told to NOT shoot and I was on the sidewalk shooting the ATL skyline at night. I was out on the front drive that comes from the parking garage lower exit. Atlantic Station OWNS that road?

Please. I need to find the actual rules because I wanted to tell the guy to fuck off.

[james]

tell the guy to fuck off.

Next time rent-a-cop says I can't stand on a public sidewalk in downtown Atlanta and take a picture of the Atlanta Skyline I am going to say something.

I was so mad before but I had a couple of people with me and did not want a huge confrontation.

I bought a little tripod at Target. The first camera they gave me didn't work. The 2nd one I got looks pretty much new, but it still sucks LOL. I just want to learn on what the teacher is teaching on.

As far as the longer exposure, we just learned about shutter speed and aperture today, so our next round of assignments deals with all of that a little more. Stop motion, blur and pan.

[Tracy]

My fav's so far. I have to pick 5 to turn in by tonight.

I wouldnt mind going out and taking some pics but it would have to be on the weekend. like james said if u can get a couple people together on a weekend LMK and i wouldnt mind taging along to learn aswell.

[.blank cd]

They cant stop you for taking pictures of the atlanta skyline from the bridge. And its questionable if they can stop you from taking pictures of Atlantic Station. Im really not buying that private property bullshit they're feeding. Im gonna do some more research on that.

Tracy, Im available most of the time on the weekends to do some shootin. Just lemme know

MegatronRS,
The cemetery was cool. I think the sun was in the wrong place while I was there, so I didn't get as much as I expected. I am in P200.

Puregroove, PM on the way.

[Kamikaze]

[DinanM3atl]

Wait when were there boobs?


Sorry I didn't reply to this earlier. Would have thought Tracy would have invited you guys ;)


I wouldn't have been able to invite you because Canon pwns Nikon. Although there was one photog at the meet and the whole time he is shooting away with a d300 and I didn't notice till we were at the last spot.

Jealousy was there.
