um i have a question, how can i take similar pics as this? like the butterfly is close bright and the background is blurred i know my cam has a close up setting but how is it used? http://img353.imageshack.us/img353/1861/dsc01608zl1.jpg
i use a vitage 35 mm manual camera. so for pics like this i just screw with the aperture. i think thats the easiest way if you know what to set it to. if you have a digital SLR i would just use a zoom lens and change the aperture around, then press the depth of field preview button on your camera to check how it will look you should apply for the crew if your going to post here, btw lol
Just point and shoot as close as possible to your object (with macro mode / close-up mode on) and you will have the background blurred. Here is a picture I shot, only added a border in photoshop, no other edits: http://jix1.deviantart.com/art/Ranunculus-90809481 And another one: http://jix1.deviantart.com/art/Hello-there-buddy-91681250
Haha if you'd asked me I would have turned over OverExposure to you and you wouldn't have had to pay the setup fee. The problem is that staff will only give access to one crew forum, so I wouldn't have been able to do both forums. Now SourceView has pretty much gone under too though, and it looks like with v4, all the crews will be going under. I'd like to wish you the best of luck though. I would consider joining but frankly, I have no free time, and I wouldn't really be able to contribute too much.
DeviantART account is up. Member submissions only. Feel free to submit however many you like . There may be photography tutorials submitted by me in the future. http://cameradrawn.deviantart.com
Do you have a dA account? I couldn't find one from you, so I just said that you didn't have one... >.< And thanks Oh, I'm going camping for about a week. Unless Geox knows how to submit everything (he has login info as well), that means that nothing will be added until I get back, but you're still welcome to submit things while I'm gone.
well decided to apply, here goes. Name: Anthony Why you want to join: I enjoy tanking pictures Im still new at it but i want to learn more, I believe being in a crew will help me improve and learn from my fellow crew-partners. THREE of YOUR best pictures(direct links, NOT DA LINKS!): 1. http://fc03.deviantart.com/fs32/i/2008/230...by_Nitro212.jpg 2. http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh255/N...ts/IMG_0065.jpg 3. http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh255/N...ts/_MG_0107.jpg 4. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3016/279366...c96bb4ed2_o.jpg 5. http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3254/279375...b5b7fc0ea_o.jpg 6. http://i258.photobucket.com/albums/hh255/N...ts/IMG_0152.jpg Your photography equipment: Canon EOS Digital Rebel XTi PS: i am not good at manip.. i just mess with the contrast of use actions ect.
Well, if you ask me, I'd say you're in. You just started out with some good equipment and I'm already impressed. Not only that, you're obviously eager to continue learning, which is the most important thing, imo. I think Geox gets the final say though . Especially since he's the only one who can modify the member list, lol.
I do have one but there's nothing in it Whenever I get photos uploaded, do you want me to just put them in my devart and then ppl can use the link to my account or just submit the photos to the crews account? And Slight gets a yes from me
