lmao xD Could it have been a old b/w film ? wink.gif Than it's rumble fish. They made some crappy movie out of that book and as far as I know that's the only place they say it tongue.gif So I take it this is in Canada? XD Haha.


lol nah I don't think I got it from a b/w film besides I am sure back then nobody knows that smoking would cause cancer and stroke. hmm I may have got it when I watched Star Trek back when I was a teenager biggrin.gif haha yeah I know it sounds geeky but back then I actually liked those stupid TV series. Is "Than it's rumble fish" a book? I've never heard of it and I certainly don't watch black and white movies anymore even though some of them are good like "Arsenic and old lace"

Yeah tongue.gif It's just called Rumble Fish. It's one of S.E hintons many awesome youth books. It's basically about kids in the slum fighting with eachother but it's awesome heart.gif In the late 80's they produced a crappy movie out of it which was shot in b/w (although not necessary) tongue.gif

how do you get that quality in a picture?

i have a 6.0 mp nikon coolpix... but the quality is disgusting.

Thanks


I use a Sony CyberShot DSC-H9, 8.1 MP.
Personally, I don't think that the mp count is a huge factor in image quality (anyone, correct me if I am wrong).
I used a tripod for most of these shots, and there was plenty of light.
Without enough light, like on a summer morning, the quality is pretty poor. I found that out the day of, actually.

pigeon shot is excellent.

the first photo has potiental but the exposure is grossly acute

the third photo is just awkward; not feeling it at all


Thanks for the feedback. =)
This pigeon shot is actually one of maybe 10 - 15 shots. I wanted to make sure I got a good one, and I guess that payed off.
The first shot was actually a very candid, almost accidental photo, that I took without looking at the viewfinder or display. It seemed like a good opportunity to get a portrait (as the man was actually walking away whilst taking this shot), but I guess I should have tried to get the exposure better.

sorry for changing the subject but have you taken any photos of what it looks like in downtown Stockholm now? I still remember all the beautiful Christmas decorations along the shopping streets and main streets and people singing Xmas songs at the train station, just kinda magical lol and beautiful. I used to walk by NK during the Christmas and find their window decorations really amazing. The city I am living in now, Regina, is really crappy when it comes to decorations and you barely see any of those at all.

hahaha you are too funny. So what are you going to whack the weather with if it's being mean? biggrin.gif
Well the weather in Sweden is known to be very fickle, almost as fickle as some of the friends of mine lmao, but I think you really shouldn't complain because here in Regina, Canada you MUST have a car during the winter if you don't want to freeze to death walking around I mean just walking to my work which is located less than a block away from my apartment is a pure torture when the temperature is below -35 ohmy.gif
