From personal experience I've found even 400 ISO grainy so yeah I'm not surprised at 800. You've done a good job of saving it though and I love the DOF in the background!

I like it. Nice arrangement of the pencils.

I think this will be the last of this ****ty role. I love the color I get from it being old expired film, but the grainy ****ness of it sucks. I can't even begin to understand why Kodak would want to sell film that is this garbage. Oh well....

Man, I'm a fan of some myself but that is some fugly noise. :(

I had to use the kit lens for this ... it's like using a beer bottle for a lens: blurred and aberrated to hell and back. Also it shakes when focusing, huh.

The first one has a nice relaxed feel to it.

The second one is just awesome! Nice work. What was it that was making the trails. Doesn't seem like a car.

Thanks. :) The second shot was taken from inside a moving car. I used an 8 second exposure at the end of which I shook the camera to create those steep streaks mostly seen in the background. If you look closely at the bottom centre, you can just about make out the blue dashboard numbers.
I particularly like the pattern created by the (orange) street lamps.

Love that one. The water has a really nice flow to it, was that just a close up of a water fountain / hosepipe?



Here is one I took earlier with my brand new camera (replaced my 350D with a 450D with the 18-55 IS kitlens. Wow what a difference)

(Ed: Screenshot tags pls :) -hyru)

3 seperate exposures using the built in bracketing (was +- 2ev I think) and then used Photomatix for the HDR/tone mapping effect.

Really pleased with how it came out, was taken without a tripod, would never have managed to get a comparable shot with the 350 + my other lenses without using a tripod.

Wow, that is stunning! I hope you take it as a compliment when I say it reminds me of a GOW 2 map. Awesome!

Thanks!. A few people have said that to me. Other people have pointed out how much the lamp spoils it though! Don't fancy my chances at photoshopping it out or knocking it down in real life though :p

Will go back and shoot from the other side at some point :)

Oh noes! I am camera-less now! I sold off my Rebel XT with a Grip and the kit lens. I also just bought a used Canon 30D. I'll be uncamera-less in a few days.

But for now, the only things I have are...

Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 And

Canon FD 28mm f/2.8 *which I still need to get an adapter for*

Ignition, that second pic is incredibly awesome. I'm constantly trying to shoot a good sunrise/sunset, but it isn't easy where I live :-/

Anyway, this should be the appropriate thread for ...
