my DSLR's been collecting dust... :ugh:

We may be getting evacuated from our building. :eekdance:

Don't know why. There's a lot of rumors, since the Arias trial is happening right here and such, but most likely it's just a drill.

i heard someone ate tacohell in your building...


:icon17:

Orly...?? :icon08:

i fail...? :eekdance:

Not if you were to say, distribute them... :rolleyes:

False alarm I guess. We didn't get to go outside.

Seems they'll do anything to prevent us from seeing daylight.

No windows.

Fire? Bomb threat? Zombies? Keep them inside with a constant message blaring, "Please prepare for evacuation."

B!tch, I've been preparing for thirty minutes now!

Then it turns off. :shakes head:

They aren't required to get you to safety. Only to have systems in place to alert you to potential danger. So they're complying with code. :inoutroflpuke:

:bowrofl:

They tell us we can't leave when that message comes on.

We always have to wait until someone (I don't know who, probably a little office gnome) tells us whether we need to leave the building or go back to work. I think they're back there flipping a coin and nothing is ever really wrong.

Hell, UPS rejected a package from us and instead of bringing it into our lobby and telling us, they threw it under a stairway.

Someone called in a suspicious package and the bomb squad apparently showed up - never had a warning, no evacuation. :facepalm:

I feel safe.

:icon17: im real glad i just got the low-end nikon. i was thinking about getting real nice one and just use it forever, but it would've just been collecting dust forever. :icon17:

they have silo's in middle of pheonix? :confused:

That's Phx for you... :bowrofl:

I want a Canon T3i myself. But I don't think I'll use it to its full capabilities, so I look at just a T3, but everyone who's had one says its T3i or :gtfo2:

I don't even have a DLSR. I just borrow them from friends and family members :icon17:

Last year I purchased my wife a nice Samsung point and shoot (<$200) with an excellent variety of custom programming capability including shutter speed and aperture. Of course, no interchangeability, but it's got a decent quality 24mm lens. It does fine for me any time the iPhone 4S camera falls short :tup:

For the photo-smart people...

What is it called when I want to black/white a photo and only have 1 color in it, red, blue, orange, etc??

:bowrofl:

At least it's above ground. It's better than an abandoned missile silo. :ugh2:

I did, actually! Giordanos! :tup:

When I was little and we would go on drives through the country, and with my interest in military/space/history of the cold war and what not, I really thought those were missle silo's. :icon17: I didn't know there were other kinds of silo's at the time. :facepalm: It made sense considering the massive arms race, they had to have somewhere to put them all... :roflpuke2:

Selective colo[u]r?

I'm trying to do this in Photoshop, and I dunno what the nomenclature for it is... :icon17:

check this out....:eek:





:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

Photo shop :ugh2:

That's what it's called.

I've done it several times in PS.

Google "Selective Color in photoshop". It's a really simple process, but I don't have PS on my work machine (yet!) to tell you exactly where to go.

I'm about beginner level with PS though. :shakes head:

If you're a noob, just get a T3. I love mine. :tup:

It's actually kind of fun.

I want to get some new, really vibrant pictures of my car and play with it in PS.

wow... did you put a fedex label on your UPS package? :icon17:


huh, i dont know much about cameras really. i have that low-end nikon one which i dont even remember the model number. :rofl2:

true that. :icon17:

:icon18: but never know.... during the cold war, what might've looked innocent could well have been missle silo's. :D

Well I wanna try this out because the accent color on my car is Red, and the B/W thing would work well for me.

If you need a cheap way, just download Color Touch app on android. :p

:icon17: Thanks, I knew that... I meant in PS what is it called to do that.

I'm not seeing Selective Color anywhere?

my pops uses a point and shoot but he takes beautiful pictures with it when he goes out hiking. :tup:

the ONLY reason why i bought the DSLR was i wanted to make my own lens distortion by using wide lens and give the image of my car appear a tad more artistic than the FLAT boring pict my droid took. also since im very limited with time, i wanted to have the option to use filters.

but then, mr.alcheng HAD to tell me he liked my droid pict out of all the picts that i had up in my albums page some taken using my DSLR. :facepalm: ;) :icon17:

And of course because I bought the software over a year ago, and right now PS is in the midst of moving everything to another program of theirs for storage, it won't let me complete the registration process for my account. :facepalm:

i just use the cheepo photoshop elements. works great for my purpose...

FYI T3 is still a good camera. T3i was marginal improvements + swivel screen.

I hate the swivel screens!

:icon18: We have a regional overnight shipping carrier (Lonestar) that charges a surcharge if you use their packaging materials to send ground packages. We always ship ground cause it's like $6 for a huge set of architectural plans overnight, so we just use FedEx materials cause one of the other businesses in our offices gets them for free :icon17:

I know how expensive that stuff gets, and I know my weaknesses. I'm not opening myself up to DSLR GAS lol

That's what I have, Photoshop Elements 10, and Premiere 10 for video editing.

:confused: how come, they don't hurt to have when you want to experiment with shooting angles.

This is what I'm trying to do...

Rough job.

nice and subtle but makes those brakes really pop
