Like the idea...the lens distortion kills me.

I hate when I do it.

Is it what you were going for? Thats just a matter of taste.

Or have you tried to correct for it?

OK, thats what I thought.

Yeah...distorted people just aren't my thing...always looks really trippy to me.

But that bar is a goldmine for pics.

I was going through random people's photostreams on Flickr once... and came across a wedding photographer's stuff and he used a fisheye While the bride and groom were in the center of the frame and not really distorted, everyone else were totally distorted. I dunno... I just think that's pretty daring. Not my style.

I was trying to get a better shot with the confetti but only had one or two of them that were keepers.

24-70 2.8 on fx i guess if i used a wider one it might have been more distorted haha...

It's windy as all shit here in DC so I had to take this from indoors with the window open just a crack. Even then it shook a little.



Composition sucks but there's window or window frame at either side of the photo here hahaha

That really doesn't look like DC, looks like Mideast, somewhere. Did you get a proper exposure of the moon? If so, make a layer and add it to this.

well I took photos today but only with the wolf lol. I know it was last minute so I'll accept that. HOWEVER the good news is over the course of the past several hours I DID find someone who is interested and she DOES actually have a red riding hood costume! lol so we are effectively postponing until later date.

I did ask her and she would have done it except the problem is she works on the weekends usually plus anyway personally I think she is a little too "bouncy" for this type of shots, if you know what I am saying. The one I got in touch with is much better fit for such photos IMO.

It is. Not only that, it's a 500 KB DS/DD 5.25 inch disk. We have it on the wall with a bunch of other old/odd/random computer parts.

Wow, it's been so long since I used a real camera. Got bored at work during the lunch.

Taken with my work camera gears, 5D2 + 24-70.

More like a soccer MILF

I visited an abandoned tunnel around the section of the old PA turnpike over the weekend. It had some of the more amusing graffiti I've seen in abandoned sites...
