Thanks 8) As you can tell, I like tone-mapped HDR images....

Well, then the Nspire CX came out. Came true, but in an impossibly underwhelming fashion :P

I like taking photos aiming directly into a light source, which doesn't mix well with HDR (it exaggerates lens flare exponentially).

Edit: Woah, what's with the lack of a preview on image attachments?


1 second @ f/29 ISO-100, 70 mm macro

It's not photoshop, it's Paint.NET, but still edits photos :P
When I first got my digital camera, I also happened to have one of those fiber optic light toys.
I discovered the effect you get when you take the picture from the top (near the ends of the threads).
This one in particular was blue.  In my programming teacher's classroom at school there was a photo editing program..."fireworks" I think.  So I opened the pic and played around with the hue.  I have like three-four variations of this photo now.
I then imposed my original avatar over it, and got the result below.

Not amazing, but hey, first time ;D

That's great! What camera do you use?

That turned out awesome for your first time.


All of the photos I posted are pretty lame (I mainly just took them to enhance them in photoshop), I'll take/post some better ones as soon as I can get around to it.

I have a DSLR. I took the macro photo with a regular lens plus a 25 mm extension tube. Macro photos like that require a tripod and getting awkwardly close to the ground.

Very nice.I've been meaning to get one someday when my crappy old Cannon Powershot A570IS gives out, although I shouldn't bash it too much, with CHDK it can take RAW images, and has automatic/manual dark frame subtraction. (Very useful for astrophotography)

Yup, I'm familiar with that :) At least it's only really annoying on muddy days.

I have this cheap 5 megapixel polaroid (yes, polaroid :P) and it takes almost a full second to take even an unfocused picture...
Even with the mini tripod I have it's a rare occasion for it to work properly, i'm not even going to go into macro...
It has video, but it won't record if there's an SD card in it fsr

I guess it is crazy, but probably not as tasty tho...
