And my other pet peeve - distortion. Little lenses on these cameras are prone to barrel/pincushion distortion.

The plug-in Program "Debarrelizer" has saved many a shot - makes a cheap lens look (distortionally speaking) like a more expensive one.

My girlfriends Canon needs it for every shot - but then again so does my Nikon 50 f/1.4

But what wins out is stuff like the texture in that Lisbon shot. Doesn't matter what you us, as you have shown, its the final image that counts.

I've been to big budget shoots where the photog has used only a Polaroid SX-70 - and he shot the shit out of that thing. Doesn't matter what you have in your hand - it's how well you shoot it.

Yep - the Andy Warhol special.

My only consolation is I can always make an image from my Hassleblad look like images from almost any other camera. You can't always make images from any other camera look like those from my Hasselblad

That's all

Really like the composition on this Pug. Very nice.

RB, back home we have a proverb from the middle ages: "It's not the sword, it's the hand" but I feel the sword helps :twisted:



Cheers,

Funnily enough, it's not taken with my Lumix. Can you guess why?

Yes, Pugwash has been reading up on the rule of thirds, a strategically placed Sub.

About swords RB, here are some pics of my swords, the 3 bottom ones (2 katanas and the hand and a half bastard) are hand tempered, high quality carbon steel.

nice toy :twisted:

@anubis144 - You win. Your sword will kick my sword's ass!

Always wanted one of those - probably better than I never got one. Like the shots. Pics of those would be welcome here, as well. I would love to see some detail shots. Very, very nice.

Rule of thirds? It's 0.618:1, the golden ratio. Two years of Art School will do that to you.

When this photo was taken, these were my only two reps!

 

[Anubis]

Ok here's some more

ok RB you convinced me, here's some more pics of my babies. please bear in mind that I use these swords so the surface has some scratches.

Somehow I knew you'd know that Pugs . betcha a few didnt though.

 

[Anubis]

golden ratio as in the ratios of the Parthenon? I prefer the golden mean. more in my training line (philosophy major)

 

[pugwash]

For all those interested in the Golden Ratio ...

So, which sword (camera) comes closest to the golden thingy?

Life is Good!
