Yeah. It's not easy though. These were also with my extension tubes so dof was always going to be lower, that and my aperture was jammed open by a bit of paper so I don't really have much control over it. I'll see if I can stack some of the one's I managed to get.

Honestly? Shit.
Stand up, take 5 minutes to go to the kitchen and make yourself some food, then come back to the computer and look at your photo with fresh eyes: It's underexposed and boring. I cannot, for the life of me, figure out what about this photo made you want to post it.

I wasn't sure, so I went back through the thread looking at all the photos ever posted by Lemontime and I've come to the conclusion that yes, that is precisely what a "hipster photo" entails.

I just think that everyone who owns a camera, here, on Flickr, photo forums, Model Mayhem, Tumblr, etc, should take 5 minutes before posting what they've just "captured". The internet is so full of junk, and instead of boring being shunned it feels like it's becoming the norm. Which, sure, technically is great for those who go the extra mile and want to stand out, but it doesn't help those getting into photography one bit.
The way anyone gets good at anything, in any field of expertise, is by comparing themselves to professionals and by judging the quality of their work based on a professional's, and even though we can't all produce photos like Annie Leibovitz, it sure does boost the standard of our work by aiming for it. I think people get wrapped up in this idea of "Oh but they have (x) amount of gear and (x) number of years experience and I could never do what they do" - sure, perhaps not, but if you're not looking at it you're definitely setting yourself one position behind from the get-go.
There's a huge amount to be said for the impact better photographers, and better photographs, can have on your photography. If everyone took 5 minutes to visit a professional photographers website (if there's enough interest i'll post a bunch of links) in the middle of editing one of their own photos, and took notice of the light and framing and composition and colours, i'd say we might end up with a better standard of work here, and i'd give you all a gold e-star for your efforts.
Shit.
Just kidding bro! Not bad, but I think it'd work better as a high-contrast black and white and either with old mate lurker cloned out, or a bit cropped off the left side (but try to maintain the same 3x2 aspect ratio).
Ha!

I was super confused when i put these first few into light room, it looks like i have flashed them. Turns out it was a silver car right behind me reflecting light. Oh well.
I need to go out, and do some proper portraits. I do like these ones, but they are just, slack really.
