yeah, it's clearly emphasizing the shooter aspect of the game... oh well, supposedly they revamped that part of the game so whatever.

Freaking amazing man! we walk in the garden of your turbulence!

lol... speaking of which, you haven't posted pics in a while... get to snapping! Or more photoshop.... whichever, I'm not picky.

hah, nice progression. I wouldn't worry about it, at this point i'm not sure why these two threads are separate anyways.

so amazing!

it's not a blunder, it's just truth in advertising.

lol, I opened that first attachment and kept click on "cancel" wondering what new thing was wrong with this laptop...

photobucket rips all that info when you upload your picture. All someone needs to do is go view your account and they'll see the stats, what camera you used, lens, settings, all that stuff. If you're looking at the original file, just right click from explorer and click on "properties" and it'll list it there as well. and yeah, grainy = noisy. edit:: and you're getting better so fast, just look at the difference from the 1D pictures you posted the other day! wow!

Well.. they're not bad cameras but the Samsung S630 in particular is known for taking noisy pics at pretty much any ISO over 100... Your shots look great though, love the black backdrop!

Holy crap, you got those pics out of a sammy??? I bow before your mastery!

I don't actually, she's pretty cool with my hobby!

er... I'm married and we have a joint bank account? but it won't shoot in TTL mode with my camera...

well, we only have ourselves to blame... we kept saying stuff like, "I wish yamato would learn from Bandai...." Well, now they have, happy now?

... yeah... that's still around 400 bucks (after shipping) for an SB 800... and since I still have 4 valks on order and I just bought a new laptop... the "my light" will have to do.

they'll probably be in the stand alone armor set or some other crap as an "incentive"

it all starts with the name... when you're game is called, "big sword" you know failure awaits.

boohoo mr. 5D mkII... you'll get no camera sympathy from me!

I shoot with the ISO set at 200. It's done on a tripod with a long exposure anyways so no need to use a higher ISO also, if find the light is too strong you can use a diffuser screen in front of the light... in my case, a thin fast food paper napkin that I wrap around the light head... haha

I noticed the "who's in this thread" feature seems disabled now... or is it just me?

Yeah, so I use the spot metering in two ways... all these shots are done in a dark room with my book light as the only light source For this shot I set the auto-focus control to manual and set the camera to aperture priority and set the F to 5.6-2.8 and focused on the illuminated part of the valk, that should allow the camera to get enough light to get a proper exposure on the parts of the valk hit by my light source. Either manually adjust the lens or use the auto focus and while the lens is focused switch it over to manual focus so it doesn't seek in the dark. Then I put the camera into timer mode (or use the remote if you have one) and take the picture. For this picture, the steps are mostly the same but after I've focused on the valkyrie I change the focus point to either the background (preferably a part of the background that's getting some spill over light) or a part of the subject that isn't getting direct light from the LED... this is gonna make the camera try to get a proper exposure off of the background or the dimmer parts of the valk which should throw the entire subject into the correct exposure but blow out some highlights so it looks like it's getting hit by lots of light... hope that helps.

My wife bought it for me at a store but I've only seen them online... http://www.mylight.com/clip-light-4-led-p-209.html They come in all sorts of designer colors!

SPIRIT ORBS!!!!

Thanks! The LED does have some advantages over your flash... the light head has more articulation for one and it comes with a handy clip with articulated feet.

aw, thanks guys but I can see how awesome Vegas' pics are... they're plain to see and they leave me seething in jealous rage! I just bought a new laptop though so that booklight will have to do for now and the foreseeable future... Monster, i use spot metering and long exposures to take those low light pictures. See if your camera has those features.
