Tips for us plebs? I want to learn to have your skills.

[Paul<3SF]

shoot film today's nifty digital cameras won't teach you nuthin...

[MaxBell]

Will my oatmeal container pinhole work?

[Paul<3SF]

oh god YES. That should be every photographer's 1st camera. Nothing teaches you how light works within a camera better than a pinhole

[Pagani]

very nice pictures

[MaxBell]

Haha, thanks man. How did you get the lighting effects in "Stage Lights"? Was "Walk" (obviously) post production?

[Paul<3SF]

I just triggered a bare flash at the ceiling lightly and then panned while the girl jumped haha. And with "walk" i just copy paste and opaque/screen layers.

[MaxBell]

But how are the people in the background still not blurred out or shifted?

[HRPOWWAA]

Come to Naples! Love the photos! You got some talent for photography!
