how do you get that somewhat 'dark' look/feeling to your photos?

do you edit them to get that?



any info would be nice, thanks.

yea, i just recently got into photography too (got my xsi as a grad gift) and i just mess around w/ the settings in canon utilities. i really wanna get psand get into some more serious editing but like i said, i just started n it gets the job done. if you're on a mac you play w/ your pics (nh) in iphoto orif you're cam comes w/ freeware i would look into that to start and learn the ropes a bit
blah!

Download Canon Digital Photo Proffesional (Free just google it) and then it'll give you a toolbar when you open an image in the program and it'llgive you a lever to adjust contrast saturation hue and so on, adjust the contrast to achieve the underexposed look

Nice skate pics Obie. Overcrook on the rail? Nutty!.....

I am still trying to "get" skate shooting. I still find of difficult just cause I don't think my stock lens captures clear shots. These were fromthe other day at the park.

^^^Fong...one thing you can do is work on your composition. For example, the 2 pics have way too much going on. If you want to take skate pics, emphasize yourshots on the skater and tricks. I took one of you pics and cropped it to put the focus on the skater:

so now, you don't have the person's head, all the people in the background and the skate park distracting the audience. The focus is mainly on theskater and his trick. Also, he is near the right of the picture to show he is going forward and will eventually land somewhere in front. It'll keep theaudience thinking is he gonna eat it or land the trick?

Yo word Jaw Knee. That day was a learning experience. I mean it's tuff that I really don't have the right equipment (was using the nifty fifty) andjust doing some live shots at a demo style event, without having it all set up for a photographer is just so different then comparing to like...snappinglandscapes and portraits. I really have a lot of respect for these types of shooters now.....

Well, hopefully I can get some better shots at another shoot......thanks for the 2 cents.

I know this is mad off topic but i gotta ask...

Whats the point of re-badging your acuras with Honda badges? Is it purely asthetic or is there some sort of reasoning behind it that non car-enthusiasts likemyself dont know about?

(i take my stupid question back if youre in Canada or something where names of the models are different etc, pardon my ignorance)

very nice

 

[oo206oo]

I was afraid that was the case and i would look stupid.

Indeed.

 

[nothingtol0se]

206, to answer your question...they do that cuz they are going for the JDM(Japan Domestic Market) look. And if you look under a hood of a say, RSX, you'llnotice that the parts have "honda" everywhere. But yeah, basically, they want that japanese look to their car

Just a thought u might want to... I completely understand not wanting a really photoshopped aesthetic (more power to those who do just not my cup oftea) but I don't know anyone who doesn't at least correct exposures. I mean know people who will leave the color incorrect and things like that and Ithink it's insanity personally but really some of those shown the exposure maybe perfectly fine (few strike me as bit thin or underexposed maybe as resultof lens flare) but they weren't scanned that way so correcting them won't really at remove the film aesthetic but they'll look far better... Alsothink only about one or two are actually in sharp focus. My guess is your Nikon is a quite a bit sharper than a Vivitar but still you should be able to get areasonably sharp focus.
