    Default Couple more beginning Dslr Pics

    Well a couple pics of my kit lense, and my circa 79' jcpenney 135mm, then a pic of my 75 k100, and the 135m on it. Im a noob at pictures, criticism welcome.

    Not bad for noob work! Next time try ironing the sheet you're using as a backdrop so it will be a smooth background. Also, play around with lights.. move a lamp in closer, move a lamp farther away... try to get some more contrast in your pics. You can also do that in photoshop if you post-process. Try switching from a warm filter to a cool filter.

    Good start so far though!

    Fuck stance. Stance is for kids in skinny jeans with Justin Beiber haircuts. You don't need stance when you got swagger.

    Yeah I just pretty much grabbed the sheet out of the closet cause I needed something lighter as the backdrop, didnt feel like ironing it though lol. Yeah lighting is very crappy in the house with our florescents and the tan walls. XD

    A dryer and a wet wash cloth works just as well to dewrinkle sheets

    Grab a lamp or anything that isn't florescent. What makes a great photo is composition, lighting, contrast, shadows, etc. You can always change your white balance depending on the lighting too...

    Yeah I had the white balance set to fluorescent, but still its too dark in my room. I unfortunately dont have any lamps...and the lamps in the living room are all antiques....so cant really move them around. I might end up just buying some lighting for my room so it will be better.

    Photobucket seems to be ruining the compression on the pics you're uploading. The one in your sig looks great, you can't see the pixels.
