google images show plenty of moon lens flares, but i can't find any that are anything but white. i also can't find any moonlight diffraction images, apart from shepherds delight and moondog type stuff.

Yeah, I've had lens flare at night, it's common off a full moon:



But yeah, I still think that's a daytime photo shot with a fast shutter speed, as there's no movement in the trees, bushes, or reeds, and the wave fronts are frozen.

looks fake to me: what looks like lens flare in the bottom right - can the moon produce the full rainbow? ditto for the colours in the scene - can you get that much range of colour from a moonlit scene? i dont see the noise from such a high iso setting


Hmmm, considering it would be pitch black at the time of the shot (September 2005 @ 10pm), and small aperture for only 58 sec (even though the ISO is pretty high) it would still be too dim to have it come out that bright. Only way I see possible is if the moon was *seriously* bright and then you've played with levels afterwards, or this is some multiple exposure composite and your EXIF is from the last frame. Tell us cunt! :)

P.S. Some hardcore should look if the moon was full on 18/9/2005 @ 10pm

Hey
The sea was blurred. I think what happened was that the foam was all in one area and formed a distinguished line. I was also quite a distance away too.


I thought this might fit into the 'look like a photoshop' category too. Taken about an hour later after the last photo. Single photo with no multi-exposure merge etc. and it shows what I meant by the foams forming a line along the beach

tripod and a remote shutter release goes a long way to ensure the blur free image.

Nah I didn't do anything besides what you can already do in the camera eg. turning up the brightness, correct white balance and rotated the image slightly (it was dark and I couldn't compose the image with a flat horizon).
I believe him (said earlier due to chatting with him in the past), so I am very impressed :D

pfft, F50 is the weak bitch of the lineup. Id skitz the fuck out if it was a F40 though.


oohhh f40-san~

CCS 6th October 2008 20:58

C'mon, even with an F50 you wouldn't wanna tolerate FOOTPRINTS on it!!

Reminds me of my uncle boasting about his 355 GTS. He was asked to loan it for a calendar shoot, and he got it back and was most upset about the "babe marks" (his words) left on the paint from whatever oil the model was slathered in.

I think it's from a "Draw the stupidest thing you've ever done in MSPaint" thread.

Must be some 16 yr old living in his parents house. If I did that in my flat, I'd have to walk out of my room, dick waving about, "Yeah that's right. Right in her fucking mouth. BOOYAH!"

BloodDonor 7th October 2008 11:31

my old cat when i was young, was big, though not like that... and when he sat on your lap, he took up alot of space, and nearly crushed your legs

also used to kill seagulls and possums :D

mpx 7th October 2008 12:15

My workmate has a Mainecoon, the stories are hilarious and from seeing them their personality is more akin to a dogs than a regular cats. My workmate's one even hides things all around the house etc.. I would love one to be honest!

They're cool cats. From what I've read about them they're a fairly tough breed, but are also really nice cuddly pets, which is a great combination. I'm allergic to them :(

Village on stilts in Tongkil, Samales Islands, Philippines. The southern Philippines, and in particular the Sulu Archipelago that includes the Samales Islands, is home to the Badjaos. The Badjaos belong to a Muslim minority who make up 5 percent of the Philippine population and are concentrated mostly in the south of the country. Known as "sea gypsies", they fish and harvest shellfish and pearl oysters, and they live in villages on stilts. A channel carved out of the coral reef allows them to reach the open sea.

Girls and Corpses? "Well, if you're like me --explains the author, writer Robert Steven "Corpsy" Rhine-- you like two things: beautiful girls and rotting corpses. So, I thought, why not bring these two great tastes together in one magazine?"

Probably the world's most bizarre magazine in history, Girls and Corpses is sort of like Maxim Magazine meets Dawn Of The Dead. There are pictures in each issue of beautiful, scantily clad young beauties posing with hideous, decaying, festering corpses. As they would put it, "so many corpses... so little time".

Surely that's a pisstake. And I've never posed with those two ladies in my life...
