8/10, you should zoom in more closer or crop it more because the background behind the watch is a bit distracting.

8/10, love the car btw ;) but you could have done more with the composition perhaps at a different angle or closer. the exposure is good though, and the editing is not too far by any stretch of the imagination IMO

If you guys are interested in HDR, you should check out the HDR photo software that Nik Software( which was bought by google ) has, the software is really awesome and allow you to adjust many things for the HDR image that normally does not exist on other photo editing software. You still have to capture at least 3 picture with variable exposure such as -2, 0, +2 to get the best out of the software, but 5 probably will suffice according to the experience of most people who used the software

it's a bit blurry though, 6.5/10 Canon 500D and my first photoshoot using my 24-105mm IS L lens. Edited using lightroom 3 only

learn how to use the techincal part of your camera, that includes iso, shutter speed, aperture, white balance, and so on. afterward, spend more time focusing on the artistic side of photography such as composition, colour selection, and so on, by this time you should already start to know what type of photography do you like and there are a lot of types and so I suggest you spend some time researching on that.

I'm new here ( just sign up yesterday) but so far I LOVE this forum. The people here are really nice and everyone can discuss about stuff in a good and constructive fashion, unlike many of other forums out there :S

8, I enjoy his rap, but I rarely listen to rap, I like EDMs more hehe I Have been listening to kaskade's new single for a few days, still addicted to it until now. The vibe is amazing. :D http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sXQVicNodMw

I just had my prom night last month, and I paid around 150 in US dollars (note that my country is using rupiah not dollar so I just convert the amount) to have the event in one of the most luxurious hotel in my city. I do think it is worthed though, especially because you get to share that experience with your friends, especially at the after party, if you know what I mean. ;) lol

Thanks, so far the experience has been great, you guys have done an awesome job on the forum. :)

just made my account today! even though I already watch linus's videos for months :| hehe P.S. English is not my native language, so please excuse any grammatical errors I made. :)

McLaren P1, look at those lines and curves! *drooling

one word, AWESOME. :)

Canon T2i, Canon EF 24-105mm F 4 L IS USM, and Canon EF 50mm F 1.8 :D I really enjoy this setup so far

I would suggest going to a good camera store and spend some time to try out some DSLRs that fits into your budget and try out different brands like Canon, Nikon, or Sony and see which one feels more intuitive and enjoyable for you to use. If you want to buy Canon, I suggest going with the 600D with the lens kit set, It's cheaper and it is a great first time camera for learning photography or just daily usage. When you have saved up the money, always remember to upgrade the lenses first before the body, In most cases it's more bang for your buck.
