Did i not say the film ripped?

Reminds me of pics I took on a 5th grade field trip with a 110 film camera.

V V V I agree with Nick V on this one V V V

Nick you need to retire the film cam for awhile and learn the basics with a good DSLR. I think if you spent more time doing that and less time posting here you would find people more receptive to helping you.

Well i'm working on it. I have found that I respond better to trial and error then books through experience. Trust me when I say i'll be dropping the film asap. I'm hoping to have a nice camera within the month and a few worthy photos to submit for the photo event at FRG. Tall order but I havent heard the fat lady yet :mrgreen: Also i'm used to ppl ignoring me through experience...

Trial and error is a great thing and I use it but a good book from a good photog is also very helpful in learning how to improve your skills. I would invest in both one for photography and one for PS.

I agree with Nick again. Trial and error will get you a long way, but there are many "rules" or techniques that are unfathomably beneficial if taken the time to study and embrace. Below are the two books I swear by, and will help you beyond belief.

and depending which version of photoshop you use....

Scott Kelby is editor in chief of Photoshop User magazine and a photoshop guru. His books include hundreds of incredible techniques, all of which he VERY clearly and concisely explains so even a first-time user can understand his methods

Cool. Eva is heading straight for a black hole. The 767 is caught in a supernova.

I'm thinking you enjoy these surreal effects. It's not the film. As I PMed you sometime ago, it's the camera/lens plus a photographer who doesn't know how to use it.

lol @ my eyes. But c'mon would someone show him how to adjust the settings or just give him any other camera as a collective gift?

Those eva shots are from my car. I was driving from building 66 when I spotted it heading in for a 13L landing. Grabbed my camera and attemted. 3rd shot came out great though. As for the supernova, thats light exposure when I opened the camera and found the film ripped in half. Also mayi this camera is about 25 years old. I dont think it has half the settings your camera has :lol: One last thing I dont have photoshop. Yea once I can get a 400mm i'll be out with you guys. Unless your like me or phil and have a PANYNJ ID you really wont see much of me.

Don't worry Nlovis....Its ok....
Everyone has crappy shots......EVERYONE.
The key is just knowing when and when not to share them. :)
Unlike yourself....some of us were on our own when we started out and had no one was around to help us with getting better results. So lots of garbage shots and wasted planes later we learned over time.

Check these babies out!

Senga

Well i'm kinda on my own. I have help from you guys here on the forum but untill I get a good camera with settings most of this I cannot apply to my work. Though I do hope to be able to spot out at a location and get some help face to face.

Senga, that Megis Field shot is still a keeper. Obviously we wish we could go back in time and change the shots from back then to what we know now, but it's a place you can not find on a map anymore. Damn shame.

I agree with John....i saw the Meigs shot and my jaw dropped....it's more of one of those emotional things...kinda like that feeling you get when you look at all the old classics sitting out in the desert knowing they'll never fly again and you consider how much soul they have/had.....it elicits a lot of emotion.. where's the crying face?
