June 2008 pictures

[Kaboon]

Here's an idea; there seem to be quite a few people around who like photography. Therefor it looked like a fun idea to me to start a Picture of the month topic instead of a Destop of the month topic.

I have a few guidelines in mind:

• When posting pictures directly into the topic, please try to keep the width under 600 pixels and the size below 100kb. There are still people out there who don't have a megabit connection and for their viewing pleasure it'd be nice if we stick to those sizes.
• Obviously you can always link to a larger version of the picture if you want.
• All pictures have to comply with the forum rules. Pictures which don't will get removed and you'd get a warning for violating the forum rules.
• Post only your own work, don't violate any copyright rules.
• Keep in mind that pictures posted in this topic still have copyright. Although this is the internet and there's always a risk that other people use the image without your permission. If you dislike that idea then either don't post it here or have it watermarked.
• Have fun, always use constructive criticism and avoid flame wars.
• If you like, post a little bit of background information about the picture. For example; where did you shoot it, what kind of camera/lens did you use, etc.

I'll start with a picture taken with my brand new Canon EOS 450D with 18-55 IS kit lens. It's a closeup of a Converse shoe, taken at night with no flash used. Only some fluorescent light of a sunbed. It turned out better then I expected since it's the 8th picture I've took with the camera (I got it that same day).

Close enough to June (well, June-like weather).

@Warrior of the Light
Nice picture, that's a view I rarely get to see here. And surely I have never been able to capture such sunset with my previous camera (Konika Minolta DiMAGE G600). Perhaps with my new one (and the tripod I bought last sunday)...

@skryingbreath
Nice! Very nice. I like it. Did you edit that picture?

@Widdy
I've never heard of marimekko. Should I know it from something/somewhere? The stuff on that site almost looks like the stuff you buy at Ikea (no offense).

Marimekko-fabrics
Some of marimekko is very high-end!

Just enough to make it look pretty. (Seriously though, just curves, colour balance and dodging. Nothing outside of the ordinary for processing.)

Exhibit A: Photo is wider than 600px.
Exhibit B: Subject resembles a towelhead.

Conclusion: skryingbreath is a terrorista.

Winamp Forums > Skinning and Design > Arts & Design > post your photography

Also, I think 587 is the widest without breaking frames, although 600 isn't a big deal. (Or was it 578? I feel like I have a dyslexic memory).

Although I'll probably post a shot or two here too when I get the chance.

Skinning and Design is a part of this forum I don't visit very often. However, I did try to search for this kind of topic and nothing came up...
