Seems like everyone is making up threads with a bunch of crap lately...so I think I should be able to also..Oh and this will be my art thread from now on..umm I think I posted some of these before but my stupid scanner isn't working so as soon as it starts I'm going to post more. And if anyone else has any art work post them here...I'd like to see...except kunnyfunt...you make me look bad... :oops:

Thanks man. I shoot film, so my camera isn't really important so much as what lens and film I'm using. Nah, i don't do any computer-related effects on my pictures (except a LITTLE bit on the last b&w landscape... I kinda messed up the exposure for that shot so I had to artificially fix some parts).

But in case you're wondering, I have a couple of cameras:

Canon AE-1 (my first camera ever!)
- 50mm f/2.8
Vivitar 3800n (my high school photo camera--its a piece of junk)
- 28-70mm f/something
Canon Rebel Ti
- 20mm f/2.8 USM lens
- 50mm f/1.8 lens

Film: I shoot a lot of b&w film and do the darkroom process. Color: either Fuji Sensia or Velvia.

oh .. usually digital cameras expose pretty well even without a flash.. infact i only doubted it a bit cause the leaves would look much lighter if it was a flash.. but i think i might be wrong in this case..

Digital cameras in general have pretty even and nice exposures, but they're actually pretty weak at picking out details from extremes (brights or darks). The latitude that some black and white professional films provide is amazing.

But I dont' like to get into mechanics that much. If you take a good picture--digital or film-- you da man.

lol. I *THINK* you might've got me confused with somebody else. I'm Hindu, but I'm usually mistaken as being Muslim because I argue against some certain more conservative characters on the forum (ShivaChrist, adrenaline, Hindu_Maniac or whatever)

Nah, sorry to say, but video cameras haven't really progressed too much in terms of individual picture quality.

But you don't need a great camera to get into photography. There are a lot of very very very GOOD cameras for sale on ebay for like $25-40. Camera bodies don't matter as much as lenses and film.

My suggestion if you want to get into photo: buy the cheapest SLR you can. It can be OLD too (in fact, some of my favorite cameras are really old cameras). Just get an old SLR with a 50mm prime lens. 50mm's are cheap, fast and sharp by nature. Then just buy some film and shoot a lot. It is a great hobby.

I'm talking about like $20-70 cheap. You gotta look around for deals. These are all old cameras, so you gotta buy them used, but they're so cool. I still use some of these cameras along with some of my more modern gear. You can't leave them. They're too cool

Some good cheap film cameras:
Canon AE-1
Pentax ME
Nikon FM2
Zenit 1's (these are cool tiny little russian cameras)
Yashica FX-2

Do know that all of these cameras are fully manual cameras. Once you learn how to use them, you'll love them for the amount of control that you normally wouldn't have with most auto cameras.

Don't mind to buy old cameras-- a lot of them are rock solid. In fact, I'm planning on going to India in a few years. i'm going to bring one of my old manual cameras because: a) they're rock solid b) they won't get stolen.

Your Olympus is alright. Cameras are only tools. I wouldn't get so caught up in hardware. Just shoot A LOT. Although, when you shoot more, you'll develop a taste for some more manual operations and I suggest you look into some of the above cameras.

then it's cool.. i dont see why your dad should stop.. perhaps cause it's kinda weird.. i mean i did not draw on the walls ever but i can see my parents making a fuss of it..

Best way to tell if a person can draw ! Ask him if he is an ARt student and if he says no and dosent know most of the terminoligy he is probably really fucking good!

I have freind he is The most disgusting artist!! his skill level is Way up there. He can create life like characters and faces from his imagination most art students cant even replicate real faces properly!
He only draws like a few times a year and has no art backround or ever took a course on it.

This is an excerpt from The Davinci Code. I didn't want to make a whole new thread about it.....but it was such an interesting read ...so I had to post it....Long but I thought it was worth it. It's basically about one of the theories of the Mona Lisa.




Standing at an overhead projector in a darkened penitentiary library, Langdon had shared the Mona Lisa's secret with the prisoners attending class, men whom he found surprisingly engaged—rough, but sharp. "You may notice," Langdon told them, walking up to the projected image of the Mona Lisa on the library wall, "that the background behind her face is uneven." Langdon motioned to the glaring discrepancy. "Da Vinci painted the horizon line on the left significantly lower than the right."
"He screwed it up?" one of the inmates asked.
Langdon chuckled. "No. Da Vinci didn't do that too often. Actually, this is a little trick Da Vinci played. By lowering the countryside on the left, Da Vinci made Mona Lisa look much larger from the left side than from the right side. A little Da Vinci inside joke. Historically, the concepts of male and female have assigned sides—left is female, and right is male. Because Da Vinci was a big fan of feminine principles, he made Mona Lisa look more majestic from the left than the right."
"I heard he was a fag," said a small man with a goatee.
Langdon winced. "Historians don't generally put it quite that way, but yes, Da Vinci was a homosexual."
"Is that why he was into that whole feminine thing?"
"Actually, Da Vinci was in tune with the balance between male and female. He believed that a human soul could not be enlightened unless it had both male and female elements."
"You mean like chicks with dicks?" someone called.

This elicited a hearty round of laughs. Langdon considered offering an etymological sidebar about the word hermaphrodite and its ties to Hermes and Aphrodite, but something told him it would be lost on this crowd.
"Hey, Mr. Langford," a muscle-bound man said. "Is it true that the Mona Lisa is a picture of Da Vinci in drag? I heard that was true."
"It's quite possible," Langdon said. "Da Vinci was a prankster, and computerized analysis of the Mona Lisa and Da Vinci's self-portraits confirm some startling points of congruency in their faces. Whatever Da Vinci was up to," Langdon said, "his Mona Lisa is neither male nor female. It carries a subtle message of androgyny. It is a fusing of both."
"You sure that's not just some Harvard bullshit way of saying Mona Lisa is one ugly chick."

Now Langdon laughed. "You may be right. But actually Da Vinci left a big clue that the painting was supposed to be androgynous. Has anyone here ever heard of an Egyptian god named Amon?"
"Hell yes!" the big guy said. "God of masculine fertility!"
Langdon was stunned.
"It says so on every box of Amon condoms." The muscular man gave a wide grin. "It's got a guy with a ram's head on the front and says he's the Egyptian god of fertility."
Langdon was not familiar with the brand name, but he was glad to hear the prophylactic manufacturers had gotten their hieroglyphs right. "Well done. Amon is indeed represented as a man with a ram's head, and his promiscuity and curved horns are related to our modern sexual slang 'horny.' "
"No shit!"
"No shit," Langdon said. "And do you know who Amon's counterpart was? The Egyptian goddess of fertility?"
The question met with several seconds of silence.
"It was Isis," Langdon told them, grabbing a grease pen. "So we have the male god, Amon." He wrote it down. "And the female goddess, Isis, whose ancient pictogram was once called L'ISA."
Langdon finished writing and stepped back from the projector.
AMON L'ISA

"Ring any bells?" he asked.
"Mona Lisa... holy crap," somebody gasped.
Langdon nodded. "Gentlemen, not only does the face of Mona Lisa look androgynous, but her name is an anagram of the divine union of male and female. And that, my friends, is Da Vinci's little secret, and the reason for Mona Lisa's knowing smile."

i just got a letter back from the arts council saying they're approve of my next project being 'sane' enough to be publicly viewed!! hahahahahaha


SCORE!!!

you ask what it is???

ahh but ofcorse!!!

ive purchased boxes of tv snackes (chocolate coated biscuits/wafer/other stuff that tastes equally good) eaten whats mostly in the box and left like 3-4 pieces still in the box (now ive bought a few boxes so theres a few of these....) and then put in stuff like left over coffee mixed with coke n pepsi in one...just like a lil bit... n then put it in a drawer n let nature take it's course... give it about 2-3 weeks n then cover it with estapol(dunno how to spell that properly) n glaze it n then have the lid or the top part open so that u can see whats inside but since its all glued together its doesnt move....kinda like a sick joke for still life art pieces...
so any hoo now im gunna get massive pieces of glass cut it out make glass cubes out of the pieces n then put the boxes in the cubes n have the cubes suspended from teh ceiling so that u gotta walk underneath the piece to view it... and what u see is rotting chocolate with green fuzzy stuff growing on it in a glas cube above ur head.....
n thers gunna be like 4-5 boxes....
i'll have the pics up soon cuz im still waiting for a few other boxes to start rotting so that i can seal em....


why im doing this people may ask......... cuz i got shit loads of time on my hands!!! iznt my life grand!!!


umm.... chocolate anyone???? :D :idea:
