Some Photos Spartacus
Hey guys. Thought I'd Share some photos with you fellas, get your opinions. The ones from NYC I took during the Scientology protest, and just posted in /b/ a few minutes ago. The others I took around my college. They aren't supposed to be really photo-realistic per se, just a tad surreal and moody.

All taken with a Canon 350D, Sigma 15-50mm EX f/2.8, Sigma 150mm EX Macro f/2.8, Canon 28-75 USM f/3.5-5.6 or Canon 100-400 L IS USM f/4.5-5.6 and available light or with a Sigma EF500 DG Super bounce flash.

What do you guys think?

I think you're a little short on lenses. Invest another $3-4k and come back later.

Trolls are utterly impervious to criticism (constructive or otherwise). You cannot negotiate with them; you cannot cause them to feel shame or compassion; you cannot reason with them. They cannot be made to feel remorse. For some reason, trolls do not feel they are bound by the rules of courtesy or social responsibility.

I've already dropped a good $3,000 on glass over the past few years, which ain't nothin' for a broke college freshman. I'm just trying to get by with what I have.

This one is a bit dark because the color profile on my monitor was fucked when I processed it. But I lost the PSD file so until I re-do it this is what I have...

A photo of me from that event(we were supposed to dress up like for the gathering, and I played it up for the photo. I'm not a pretentious cock in real life, I swear ;).)

Thanks :).

Was that directed at me or the two other posters? If the former, I can assure you I'm not a troll, at least not an intentional one. Perhaps I'm just being dense, but in either case I really would like to get some comments from you guys.

I swing by there occasionally, but the forums are too inefficient. It's really a bother to click on every single post made just to be able to read an entire conversation.

Heh, DPR ain't my coup-o-tea. I spend most of my time around FredMiranda.com.

I've reached FredMiranda through eflens.com just to read lens reviews. I might try swinging by there sometime to read about the other aspects of photography.

i like these two but the mask in>>127557is a way to lighten. when i look at the picture the maske is jumping out to much a bit darker an it would be good. people will have to "search" a little bit before they get it and then they will be surprised.

Saying shit sucks won't help him.

Explaining why you find washed out textures inartistic or unpleasing would.

If the shadow detail is in the original shot, considering bringing a little more of it back.

Watch out on blowing your whites out.

I like these, they have strong elements of composition that complement your semi-surreal style.

Your other images seem to me like snapshots you've put through your post-processing style.

What is happening in this photo?

The guy with the facial hair is talking to the old guy and someone appears to be offering money.
