  1. funny about that, when i was on cropped i rocked 50mm all the time but when i moved to full frame i loved the 85mm more. i just prefer having that extra zoom so i can take shots that aren't so invasive, and if i go invasive i go all out with 17mm on full frame
  2. yup, Josh made a loss on the 002 and James90 makes losses left right and centre with his Manson guitars. Only Manson guitars I've seen that appreciated in value are rust relic and chromeboy... but that's partly because james bought them. I suppose french man 8000 euro wants his to appreciate in value but noone is willing to pay that much (not even worth James' time since he already owns an MoC mirror manson for less)
  3. It's a shitty build, wish they'd release a mark 2 soon. Still using it mind.

  5. They do look nice at times and obviously even more to non photographers, but as a photographer, I'm cursed with knowing when something is impossible to achieve via a few raw camera setting tweaks and have been pushed out of its natural limits to get the result and it doesn't rub off Also the same feel whenever I look at black and white photos, there are proper pros who pro the shit out of the photo to make it look pro (curves to the death) and the other 85% of the time I make the assumption that it is done because the noise is too much so desaturation was needed to fix it (also 5% of the time for poncy selective desaturation)
  6. which is why i compared it to boob jobs, if you can make your boobs bigger with a quick operation, then why not?
  7. have you tried playing with the curves of just the normal exposed shot and achieve the same effect? kinda see playing around the curves as makeup whilst hdr being a RAGING BOOB AND NOSE JOB. Some can look horrifying and some can look good (and obviously better than an unprocessed shot), but nonetheless it's gone beyond tweaking raw camera settings and into "photoshop" unreal areas. Not to say they're not interesting, just that they carry that "artificial" and "over processed" tag even if it's not
  8. you can set custom white balances on the fly with them. could also sync your white balance settings based on the grey card shot. personally i hand crank them and pick a temperature i like, should really look at pasting them to save effort
  9. It's like the botched plastic surgery of photography. Always looks artificial and ridiculously over processed. Saw a photo blog of a Chernobyl trip and the HDR effect cheapened the photos a great deal.
  10. Continued from here http://board.muse.mu/showthread.php?t=51634
  11. buy black / red card / sheet and take a photo of it then. That signature carpet is doing 0% good to it. do it
