  1. hi there i was wondering if my muse tribute MUSE INC could be featured at all on muse wiki page? we are english and feature also the keyboard player from FEEDER. any help would be gratefully appreciated. rob :)http://www.museinc.co.uk

  2. If money isn't an issue, best compact to get is an x100s or x100t by Fuji All about the retro dials for settings. My go to camera for most occasions including the odd gig
  3. tried grey market? I've used this site for my lens purchases, I'm more weary of getting camera body since i won't be able to deal with Canon or whatever directly BUT for lenses, I tend to go nuts and just get them grey market (besides, they do offer alternative warranties where they just foot the bill, mileage my vary) http://www.hdewcameras.co.uk/ I use this for getting a feel for how cheap lenses can be http://www.camerapricebuster.co.uk/
  4. i have one, they are fun for the occasion of shooting and giving the photo to the person afterwards. However if i were to pick again I'd probably get the newly released instax printer http://www.amazon.co.uk/Fujifilm-Instax-Share-SP-1-Printer/dp/B00JUQ6IC4/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1403852622&sr=1-1&keywords=fujifilm+instax+printer I shoot with a Fuji X series camera anyway so we're not really cheating when we're printing them from it it's definitely not something you'd bring along all the time and use so if it's for advancing photography skills, i'd steer clear (it's hit and miss most of the time given you don't have the ability to focus properly or adjust any settings).
  5. haha well you know me, that's how i roll with giving feedback, most of the time I mean no harm.. and if i do... well, I probably won't post. Think one of your reply was just all about the justification and didn't "respond" to the suggestion. Photoshopping tweaks are probably the least of my worries anyway, you can always revisit them later. I've been relooking at photos I've taken years ago and wow so many of them need more tweaking (plus lightroom has improved in noise reduction and how it processes photos in general so even that is worth relooking at), my style has changed quite a bit which makes me wonder how I'd react when I look at my photos another 3 years later. also here's a photo of a grubby trent reznor, damn thing popped when I added some vignetting
  6. Ah didn't know you played with the curves on it. Some areas just looked flat. I like getting into conversations, just you know.. statements like "I shoot for myself" kind of make replying a waste of time. I would never say that for my photos I share and post (because you know, I've shared it with everyone). When I post and share with people I take their criticisms on board because they don't have the ownership and attachment to the photo and can be a bit more objective in getting to something everyone or most folks can agree. Granted I don't get much feedback besides the odd "it's not sharp enough" back in the days (400d was a crippling camera with shit ISO and noise reduction) So yeah, this is why I don't really want to reply. Also Miranda did a better job at explaining the colour desaturation stuff than I did, I was going about the route of boosting the dynamic range of the shot to make it work but I think embracing the colours is much better.
  7. Haha you just justified yourself again. I just wanted you to try playing with curves and potentially look at selective colouring, if you don't like it, fine, if you do, better. Even something like "I tried what you suggested earlier but I wasn't keen on it" would suffice. If nothing is going to change no matter what I say, then I might as well say nothing.
  8. It's not about "trying to hide it", it's trying to do it in such a way that the viewer doesn't get overly distracted by the processing and miss out on the photo. Pretty much why I hate HDR shots. Selective desaturation for me has always been a big cliché, but there are times when it makes absolute sense to do this, the main theme which you've pretty much touched on is focus on a particular subject. However I feel like you've left some areas coloured which makes it hard for a viewer to know exactly where you want to focus, needs to be more concentrated (like a red balloon in a crowd, a girl in a red dress in a crowd, a wild rose in a field, blood on some battlefield, some tumbling phonebooths I took 7 years ago) The iconic shots always focus on red being the primary attention drawing colour, if you're going to spare others then you're only going halfway with the selective desaturation. The red lips has always been the centre of focus for geishas so that's why i suggested to only focus on that (i'm assuming that was the point of the mono makeup). Play with the curves! None of this is definitive "you need to do x to make it a good photo" because all of this is subjective however you should mess around with it just to see if it really is better as it is. if I get another justification reply then this conversation is OVER!
  9. photo looks too obvious that it is processed (although you could look at playing with the curves on that shot if you are going the black and white and boosting the dynamic range). Personally I would rock just ONE colour if you were to go the selective colour route and that would be the classic red on the lipstick
  10. i don't think James was insinuating that the price doesn't match, just wondered how you got there. But yeah, sucks losing a job man, hope you find a buyer
  11. Single . The extra wood gives 0.05% more tone. But yeah, good thing with batch 3 is the fact that Hugh and Tim assembled them. More of an original Manson and all, worth the loss in tone
