BMX - Art thread?

Anyone have any cool art or photoshop esque stuff they want to post and share?

I have a few ill post up later, but i assure you its nothing thats any good.

EDIT: Here is some of my stuff. Like i said, its not any good, just the result of rain or me being bored.


My old frame, which i re-painted.


Just a cool photo in my opinion...


My old setup , with the amature(sp?) invert colors.


One of the logos for the website im working on with some freinds...


Self portrait, i kinda like it even though you cant see my face, haha.


Some quote i got from some emo band!

Like i said, nothing great, just me screwing around with photos. I just got real photoshop and once i get better at using it maybe i can make some cooler stuff.

has nothing to do with bmx

im a paint shop master

my friend wanted a 'j' on a M&M

another on eof my buddy tiso...hes short and fat

Just some image I was correcting...

Thanks!

Now can you share with me how you did that?
I have photoshop, if thats what you used...


Madman you have some awesome photos.

Premium your like me, you just screw around, haha.

Madman - looks like I shouldn't have judged you by your BMX shots. Nice work!

Kinetik - There's a whole bunch of handy tools under Image|Adjust. Try tweaking the brightness and contrast. What version of Photoshop do you have?

What version of Photoshop do you have?
I'm not sure, its whatever version mude helped me illegallly download...
:D

Thanks. Yeah, I've more or less officially given up any form of BMX and skate photos...
Landscapes and wild(ish)life are where it's at, I want to try portraits but I don't know any hot chicks who I could practice on so all the results would be pretty boring.

theres always me, im pretty hot.

not a chick but hey, beggers cant be choosers.

haha, nice pics guys

Haha.


You know i was just thinking, someone should start a myspace photo shop.
Hahaha like people pay you to take digital pictures of them, and photoshop out their uglyness!

I took this one this morning, while the rest of you slackers were asleep.

nice puss y.


it had to be said

Damn, that's a big spider. I would not be psyched to wake up with one of those on top of me.

The cat.. um, +1EV?

That's a small spider for Australia. As far as the cat goes, I rescued it Saturday, and even though it's white, it's not the cleanest white right now. Early morning, cool reflected light.

Playing with double exposures and the fisheye. Expired film so it was pretty grainy and the colors weren't too hot, so its B&W now

Did I send you that film?

Yeah, it was the kodak gold 100. How old was it?

I don't even know. I used to have a mini fridge stocked with film, and I never worried about the date. The graininess would have possibly been from underexposure. The color shift is from age. Either way, free film to play with, can't argue that.

By the way, I'm glad you bought that camera, at least it went to someone that uses it properly. Have you made any $$ from your photography yet?

Yeah, I guess it could be, I processed it in PS and the file wasn't great to start with, my scanner is pretty crappy (but it was free too.)

I've sold 1 picture so far, won 50 bucks at the state fair because I got a first place on one photo, and a best of show/judges choice on another (the youth division wasn't really filled with great stuff), and I have at least one more picture sold that I haven't gotten paid for yet. It'd be nice to have some commissioned work, but unlikely to happen anytime soon. I'm getting my degree in IT but I might try to work as a photojournalist for a while depending on how good of a job I can get in IT at first.

Go for the IT, and do photography on the side.

Just bought myself a tat gun and all the goodies. I'll have some art to show in a few weeks.

I may sound a bit childish, or even stupid (yes, I know you will have a response to this, Expat), but what is a tat gun? I am hoping you are not tattooing yourself.

Clever you. Yup, got the whole kit. I've been drawing and taking art classes since I was 4 (that was 33 years ago, if anyone's wondering) and now I'm trying a new media.

I suck at art... I'm still drawing stick figures... really. I just drew something for my english honors class, and yep, you guessed it... stick figures ! There used to be a sick website with stick figures a long time ago, I'm not sure if it's still around though.

You should tattoo your kids instead of yourself, so if you screw up it won't be on your skin.
(jk)

Actually, my oldest daughter already had that idea...

Looks like I can still take boring photos even with some fancy old rangefinder


These Walgreens scans are probably the worst scans I've ever used... At least sams club doesn't 'auto-enhance' the pictures and make them look like ****. Forgot my card to get in the store today, though, and didn't want to wait.

you take mad good pictures...for the third time. haha.

lol, thanks. I'm not happy with anything on those whole 2 rolls, though.

Did you ask for extra contrast?

Sick pic.

When it's 2 AM, and there's a mad lightning storm out, I'll stand in the cold in my monkey pjs to get good pics.

haha monkey pj's...

The lightning is cool. It usually comes with rain here, and I don't feel like getting wet, so I've only ever gotten one photo of lightning.

Got some of the shots from Colorado scanned, taken on Velvia 100 and 70-210mm lens.

The moonrise was amazing today, I took a couple shots on B&W film but I don't know how they'll turn out.. I should stay up or get up early for the sunrise, it'll probably be nice.

Sickness. Madman happens to be creative. Props to ya.

Eek! That's asking for way too much contrast. I was cleaning and found my 70-210 2.8 that I had forgotten about. I should probably shoot some film one of these days...

I go through more film now since it's all I have, I shot 7 rolls in the past 5 days with the M3. Not anywhere near what a lot of people probably do, but I have to pay for the processing too, and I'm poor :p

Velvia is pretty rough, but I'll use more of it. It's too dense for my projector, anything resembling a shadow is black. Astia projected pretty well. Provia seems really good, saturated but the contrast isn't too high, I see why everyone seems to like it.

Did you get much use out of the film I sent you? I don't recall what slide film I shot in New Zealand, but it had some crazy long tonal range. I'll use some more this winter, since it held detail in the highlights really well. Of course, then I need to find a competent printer.

Some shots with the M3 around the college. Used Provia 100, scanned by Sams club and color corrected, etc by me.

Somebody has mad steeze.

I wish i knew what all their jibberish about film meant...

I really like taking photos but know nothing about it.

And my digital camera has something wrong with it and i'm rarely able to run out of the house with it.

I have no idea what any of that stuff means either.

If you like taking photos, then get a decent camera and a book, and learn, it's a lot of fun.
Check Ebay for a Pentax K1000 or Canon AE1, preferably with a 50mm lens. Manual focus, but they have light meters and are reliable. Then just go get some film from Walmart, and go use it.

Still sounds confusing.

Maybe one of these is more your style then.
