Not bad, Cynyx:) Although, quite a popular theme.
Here is a pic i made a couple of days ago: Bug says "HAI"

[F1r3]

lolol nice, i like the last 2 pictures
and Cynyx show us a pic of that belgium beer u are so fond of

Is Ostankino that close to you?

well its visible from almost anywhere in Moscow and i happen to have a good view on it from my window (+full camera zoom was used)

[Cynyx]

lmao at the bug saying "hai"... nice pic

and Cynyx show us a pic of that belgium beer u are so fond of

it wasn't a belgium beer this time (it came near Belgium but from France)... u can see "Made in France" on the smoking paper too ...

[F1r3]

same effect, more dramatic look






(guess i was the only crazy person taking pictures from a moving car at night )

[KIO]

First one is good, others look like a mess of light:) Here is one i made yesterday of my PC. I also made a few shots with different shutter speeds, ill try to make a HDR out of that later, see what happens.

i like them that way such crazy combinations of colors can produce quite interesting effects. for example you can blur the picture in different ways:

(can be used for BGs )

Here is one i made yesterday of my PC.

nice colors I once a saw a PC tower which literally had a built-in aquarium with artificial fishes and seaweed inside

Im also experimenting with HDR btw, will post here if anything worthy comes out of that

The bug saying hai is a very very nice photo.

i also like the bee saying what is thy bidding my master. Kio the king of bees

[KIO]

Hehe, thanks, guys:) THat bee was sitting there for about 10 minutes, with its hand up like that:) Stalker bee..

[KIO]

Like that pic vry much for some reason:)

[F1r3]

lol, nice reflection xD and what canon is that? Powershot something?

[KIO]

Heh.. Powershot SX110 IS. Nice camera, a step higher than a normal digital-smart-piece-of-shit camera, and looks kinda cool too:)
EDIT: I guess IS stands for Image Stabilisation, and i have to say its awesome:) its real optical stabilisation, so there are tiny motors that move the lens back to its position, if u shake the camera. And, sometimes u can actually feel it, when u hold the camera. A little push back, when u shake it:)

[DARKIUSMAXIMUS]

next time smile ffs

[F1r3]

I guess IS stands for Image Stabilisation, and i have to say its awesome

yeah I totally agree ! recently I also got myself a Canon camera (450D, my first DSLR ) and there's an IS on/off switch on the lens, i almost always keep it on 'on' and it really helps especially when you're shooting in poor lighting conditions

next time smile ffs

[KIO]

450D - 450 pounds:))) heh, well, i havent got that much money yet, this one was 150, and i must say it shoots waaaay better pictures than my previous "soap-bar" camera that costs exactly the same money even though its 2 years old, or more... Cant really see image quality being a lot better than this in good lightning conditions.

[F1r3]

450D - 450 pounds:)))

i know but i've been saving to afford a buy like this, now i need to save even more to get good lenses
And Canon sure makes great cameras, I think no one apart from Nikon is even close

[F1r3]

some fun with water


if you look closely you can see a face

[KOMBATIUSMAXIMUS]

[DARKIUSMAXIMUS]

[KIO]

[F1r3]

[FuzzyBear9]

Nice pics guys has anyone noticed that fire and kio are twins

It is a well-documented fact, hence the epic dramatisation, Attack of the Clones :

OBI-WAN: You mentioned growth acceleration...

LAMA SU: Oh yes, it's essential. Otherwise, a mature clone
would take a lifetime to grow. Now, we can do it in half
the time. Those items you saw on the parade ground were
started ten years ago, when Sifo-Dyas first placed the
order, and they're already mature.

INTERIOR: TIPOCA CITY, CLONE CENTER, COMMISSARY - DAY

LAMA SU conducts OBI-WAN through a large eating area. TAUN
WE follows as they walk by HUNDREDS OF CLONES who look
exactly alike, all about twenty years old, dressed in
black. They are seated at tables, eating.

LAMA SU: You'll find they are totally obedient, taking any
order without question. We modified their genetic structure
to make them less independent than the original host.

OBI-WAN: Who was the original host?

LAMA SU: A bounty hunter called Jango Fett (Cynyx) . We felt a Jedi
would be the perfect choice, but Sifo-Dyas hand-picked
Jango Fett himself.

LMFAO

first try at HDR:

[KIO]

Not bad:) I dont have a view like that.. Not sure where to find it in London... coz all tall buildings are not residential:) and british people are afraid to live higher than 20 meters from the ground... if that.

[KIO]

Bought myself a tablet today:))
Wacom Bamboo:






Tried it a bit, much better than a mouse. Very cool thing, im gonna get used to it and try draw something.

[F1r3]

congrats a wacom tablet is a must have for anyone who's into drawing

[KIO]

Wasnt too expensive either. 50 quid with delivery:) 2500 lines per inch sensitivity and 512 pressure levels:P Great handwriting recognizer came with it too.. Maybe the only thing that can read my handwriting apart from myself.

[Cynyx]

I remember i have a such device somewhere in my flat.
You can draw something very fast with that, more than with a mouse... but in fact it doesn't give talent, at least for me .
