I told you this newbie was rubbish. How many people have we seen making the big flouncy entrance on here with all that "entertain me then, I heard this was a clique of eggheads"? How many of those have actually wound up as well-liked members of the community?
This guy's the Orange Mobile advert -- funny once, thrice is throat-slitting.

Can't see your response for walking home.
Better make it good for my return.
haiku, the weakest form of baiting. but combining haiku,indifference and an indication that you have better things to do than hang around and trade insults while in your underwear with someone you know only in the ethereal world of the interweb? even lower...
i used to love you. but its all over now.

Aye, but I have my trusty SLR. I'm interested in what someone would say to taking a photograph on the underground. I'm using 800 black and white film. Shutter speed and aperture?

Are you winging it on your seagull? Apt. Hopefully Waynster will pop in and post something by tommorow lunchtime, or any other aspiring fo to gra fers. This boi needs some sleep, in my bed, now that the bedroom has been painted. :bliss:
It really depends what you are trying to capture - mood settings, say if you are doing someones portrait, slightly overexposed with them backed against a wall and an essence of motion blur of passing commuters looks nice....
... or again a slow shutter (1/4" - 1"), medium aperture and you can get interesting shots of the bussle of commuters embarking/disembarking a train - get a little bit of burn through from the lights.
Trouble is my shots tend to be a bit cliched, and I fear a tad unoriginal, so perhaps I am the wrong person to ask. Where's Colenski when you need him?
(Incidentally, if you want to see how sickeningly good he is take a butchers at His site - not suprisingly, the commissions are now coming in)

Oh, its Saturday. Basically. I'm ripping some Underground artwork so I thought some pictures on the underground might be good. I like raw pictures too, so I was thinking of trying to use the bulbous mirrors on the corners to get a reflective shot. The trouble is, with my photos is I do too standard a job. I get all the detail but everything ends up looking a little grey generally and I want it to be dark, if anything. Because I'm using the SLR, I want it to be a little sharp. I'd prefer a smaller lens, but I'm stuck with a 50mm one at the moment, I did have a 30 knocking around for portraits but its gone the way of every other item that I have lost through several moves. As long as the photographer crops it all correctly as he goes along I should get some good captured images. i thought it high time I started to be pro-active and the guitarist was all excited about it. So here I am. Asking for advice.
"Underground Stuff, go for grainy!!! Is what I would do. Very High ISO. To get very instant impact and an arty look get the image in photoshop play with the contrast, saturation, highlights and shadows with the levels tool. Check out on my site the picture of the hands at the bar near the end of my portfolio. The original image was really dull, until I PSd it.
Of course you are limited by your gear for quality with 35mm so that's why I would go off on an arty path."

good job of turning this thread into an information collection on photographicals. Dispite the wisdom of kovacs pointing out that this dude may do me the favour of appearing more interesting than i actually am, i really wish, (considering the fundamentally bland posts, and complete lack of opinion of AHMNWG) this thread would turn into a "Fuckoffanddienewbiescum-a-thon" I dont wish to start this, being a newb myself, i dont profess to have the right but i do wish he doesnt come back. The vocab that is used by AHMNWG sounds like my dad trying to ingratiate himself into the room posessed by teenagers at a family christmas party, "HEY! yoo groovy kidolas" *has door hastily slammed in face by embarrased offspring* "and dont come back till youre sporting a spliff that is ready to be passed, then, once you have passed it, you can fuck off all over again" basically, come back sporting an opinion AHMNWG

I think Middle has been told to gather data on the type of people that frequent online communities: what kind of social groups do they come from, what jobs do they do, do they meet up in real life - to discover whether virtual communities are a viable seeding ground for viral marketing campaigns. I think he's been warned, however, that community members tend to become a little techy if they suspect that's what you're up to, so he's attempting to blend in by adopting what he sees to be the social mores of his chosen community. Rather like an upmarket version of Vanilla Daisy and the Malibu Spiced Rum fiasco, except I suspect he's researching the notion of marketing to communities itself rather than attempting to subtly peddle a product. If I'm right do I get a prize? Maybe my very own www.movingbrands.com mousemat or something? Hope so! Posts: 6175

look man, back in da nang we ate your kind raw. from the feet up, so you could stare into our eyes as we peeled the major muscle blocks off of you and stuffed them into our dripping mouths.
just to show you what charlie would do to you if he caught you. it limited our effectivness as a fighting force what with so many newbies being eaten and us old timers developing prion based diseases, but still those goddammn gooks never got their hands on our brave soldiers.
