  1. <p>I got an Intous3 at a reduced pricejust before Wacom replaced it with the Intous4 and I couldn't be more happy. It doesn't take long getting used to, unless you've never used a pencil before ;)<br>

    Once you set it up properly and learn to use the shortcuts features to your advantage, it'll definatly speed up your workflow.<br>

    I recommend you try them out before buying. Usually people think they need a lot more active space than they actually do.</p>

     

  2. <p>Recently bought myself a used D300 and went out to play around with it yesterday. One of my friends doesn't really like being in pictures, but instead of hiding himself, he made the picture a lot better ;)</p><div>00VMzO-204841584.jpg.c2b717005dde66295612e358dd0af514.jpg</div>
  3. <p>It's hard to tell what's wrong without any seeing any examples.<br /> <br /> I've shot in clubs using f2.8, so I doubt that's the problem.<br>

    I would recommend running on a bigger aperture and slower shutter speed. Make sure to use a diffuser and bound upwards.<br>

    Here below is a shot I took a couple of months ago and what settings I used.</p><div>00VMz9-204837584.jpg.11855eeed171be3dcd43f3d4e10f5c15.jpg</div>

  4. <p>I'm pretty much in the same situation as you are. There's a bunch of photos on my harddrive which are just taking up space. I try to go back every now and then to delete the ones that doesn't please me anymore. A few of the pictures I like goes on my site, which I share with two good friends. This is just for us to show photos for friends and family.<br>

     <br>

    Apart from that I also got my own photography book printed as a highschool project. This is something that I personally found satisfying, just to be creating something that's yours which you'll be able to hold in your hands and say "I did this". A few copies was also done as to give to friends and family. My school also bought one copy to show up as an example of what future student can do as a project. This gave me the same feeling of usefulness Tom Mann talked about.<br>

     <br>

    Right now I'm thinking about getting some bigger copies printed, just to have laying around the house. Partly to give me that "I did this"-feeling, partly to show of ;)</p>

  5. <p>I've never travelled with a laptop since I don't have one, nor do I see any advantages in having to carry one with me all the time. I usually refrain from taking too many pictures, instead I try to take my time (especially on vacations, why rush around?), make the picture really count. I don't need one to keep in touch with family/friends/school/work since there's computers everywhere nowadays. If I feel the need to communicate with someone via e-mail, finding a computer to use is the least of all issues.<br mce_bogus="1"></p>
  6. The title pretty much says it all I guess.

     

    "Lego fanboy and amateur photographer Mike Stimpson found a way to combine his two loves: He recreates scenes

    from historic photographs using the plastic bricks, then snaps his own photos.

     

    The British videogame programmer first began assembling his Lego duplications in October 2007 as a way to pay

    homage to his favorite lensers: French street photographer Henri Cartier-Bresson, World War II-era shooter Robert

    Capa, American landscape photographer Ansel Adams.

     

    Stimpson, 34, has used Lego bricks to duplicate everything from Buzz Aldrin's first steps on the moon to '60s

    antiwar protesters, but he has yet to produce a plastic version of an Ansel image. "Recreating large sections of

    Yosemite National Park is a little beyond my skills," he said. "
