PHOTOS PLEASE

then again, it looks like bugatti didn't actually include a space for the license plate within their design, so they get what's coming to them.

my thoughts exactly.

well in Louisiana you are only required to have a plate in the back, so I'm sure other places might also be a little more relaxed with their obsession of car Identification at an instant. I mean why stop there? if you think that a vehicle absolutely needs to be indentified from the back and the front, why not slap two more plates on the side, for those moments where you can't see the front OR back. But why stop there? put one on the roof that way the choppers can easily identify the vehicle as well , or you are on an angle because it's a sloped are or perhaps the observer is on the second floor

[seremtan]

and why stop even there? why not make the entire bodywork out of carbon fibre license plates, with license plates for hubcaps and wing mirrors, and make the driver of the vehicle wear a suit with license plates printed all over it; but why stop even even there? - why not add a giant speaker on the roof (made of license plates, naturally) that broadcasts an audio recording of the license plate number read by charlton heston on an infinite loop; but then, why stop even even even there, when you can miss the point of my post by so many miles you're just a faint speck in the ionosphere? why? why? WHY?

[Plan B]

But why stop there?

Indeed why stop there? Why be so flippant about a car being as identifiable as possible?
No, you're not born to be wild in your fucking vehicle.

Accountability for causing traffic accidents outweighs automotive freedom.

it wasn't directed at you, I know what your post's purpose was. but you can't really refute my hilarious reasoning.

ps
I see you have some good ideas as well, maybe a letter to the motor vehicle office is in order. if we combine our powers we can make these street safer then ever!

hmm so you get in a wreck and nobody wants to bother walking towards the back? or maybe it's a hit and run at which point the front plate is of no use cause you're effectively looking at the back of the car at this point. Unless you just got in a wreck with this guy:


and he's making a run for it in reverse.

[Plan B]

You're not really addressing the issue.
Then again, probably should be in another thread entirely.

Back to posting glamour pics.

[Tsakali]

fine, but I'm watching you fucker.

[Plan B]

Wouldn't have it any other way lover

Shot of some random room in an old industrial site I explored last year. I think I may have already posted this image, but it was some HDR shit-fest, and I've decided to reprocess all decent pictures properly without HDR.

[Tsakali]

nice, not sure what's going on in the shot technically , but if this was a scale of 10, I would tone it back by 2.
But honestly, I know there is so much riding on individual monitor settings that my point is pretty much pointless.

[Yeahso]

If I tone that back, the rest of the shots in my personal work portfolio need toning back, too. It's my personal style. Your monitor can probably see it fine, it's just personal preference about this stuff, really.

There's nothing technical in the shot, it's basically out of the camera with a colour and contrast adjustment.

[Yeahso]

Fuck, I just went back in photoshop to start another picture, and realised I'd had a layer on that shot turned off before I'd saved. I hadn't even noticed.

Thanks for pointing it out, I wouldn't have checked anything if you hadn't said something, but the brightness of the shot was bugging me out a bit once you brought up how it looked.. I doubt you can tell much difference with the newer shot, but it's slightly darker in areas now.

[Tsakali]

aye, I traded quality for monitor size.

and I like your style, i just never seen it in a shot that was so busy in comparison to some previews things you posted, so it took me by surprise.

[seremtan]

i can't tell the difference, though that might be my monitor as well

nice pic though. surprised the site hasn't been torn down and 'regenerated' with generic chav storage units, aka flats

[werldhed]

Is that flat grey the natural color of the ceiling?

If not, I'd suggest changing it. Looks really fake to me for some reason. I find it distracting.

If it is the natural color... then fuck it. never mind.

[Yeahso]

Fuck me the ceiling is the most irritating thing I've ever worked on. Nothing I do makes it look real. I left it hoping the intensity of the rest of the shot drew the eye from it.

I know what you mean though, once you notice it, you can't ignore it. I'll probably have another go at it later.

Awesome pict.

It may be since you're all photographer types the ceiling looks "off" and now it stands out when you look at the pic.

I love the shot. I didn't particularly notice the ceiling until you mentioned it.

I like the gray of the ceiling with the blues of the rest of the room. I look at it in terms of painting. The eye needs a place to "rest."

To me the ceiling balances the room perfectly.

Edit: Hope you don't mind, I made your pic my wallpaper at work. Who knows, maybe if I look at it long enough I'll see what's bothering you guys.

New toy.

Ah, cool, glad you like. Please, go for your life, it's a huge compliment that you'd want it as your wallpaper, and thanks for asking permission.

I redesigned my website a couple of days ago. tore the whole thing down and then built a new one in a day.

Obviously, being a day's work, it's basically shit, but I wouldn't mind some feedback about colours.

My girlfriend is complaining that the "godwin" portion is too dark on her monitor, but I'm hoping it's just her shitty work screen. Can anyone else see it OK?

Also, what does everyone think about the general look and feel. I'm trying to keep it minimalist, so as to concentrate on the content, but not so minimalist that it looks like sparse.

What do you think? Anything you'd add/change?

[Tsakali]

your links up top show up twice in some pages... is that by design?

edit:

your last name is fine.

[Wabbit]

I won't share it or upload it. All positive responses from the people that have happened to see my desktop.

I guess it's true of every photograph but my co-worker tonight said your picture was "time frozen."

Fyi, I've used a couple of pictures out of this thread as my desktop, but have not uploaded or shared any of them with anyone else.

Peace.

-also, when you click galleries what "gallery" is it that loads first, cause it seems once you choose one of the two options at the bottom , there is no way to get back to that original gallery that loads up

-also how come the about, contact, main, and legal pages only show up as options only when you click BLOG?
it feels disconnected and messy, if by design.

- also "home" and "main" are not very descriptive. I was under the impression that those two are used interchangeably in most websites, as they kinda mean the same thing. also home under blog doesn't bring you to the assumed "home" of your main page. it's confusing.

see if you can name links like " main" and " home" a little more descriptively. I think you meant to say blog home, but it's not an obvious thing to a visitor.

I am not commenting on your design cause it's simple enough to be safe.
