Thanks It's Panna II, an Indian restaurant (http://www.panna2.com). It's on 1st Avenue, in between 5th and 6th streets. It's within a one block radius of maybe 15+ Indian restaurants in the "Little India" area. It's rather odd walking in because other hosts outside start to try to pull you into their restaurants, which tend to look identical, but I only ever go to Panna II, which may or may not be the original. It's super cheap and always really really good. Just don't tell them if it's your birthday, it can get ridiculous. Also: sometimes it feels strangely like a trailer in Fayetteville, NC covered with chilli-pepper Christmas lights.

7/28/2006 2:11:05 PM

took this freshman year in syme after another dude and I collected a ton of orangina bottles over the course of the semester. i have more in my gallery but i think this one is the best. taken with a simple Olympus Camedia d-560 zoom

zorthage and I are looking for stuff to put up on our walls.

we like naked women, but we'd like stuff we don't have to take down when someone's family comes over.

anyone do this sort of thing, or have a buddy who does? I'd rather pay the photographer directly, than go through something like allposters

my dad's back yard


winston salem


i know i should have took my car out of the shot... but i wanted to see how it was affect by the IR stuff.


auto levels... i like this one

7/29/2006 11:48:38 AM

randy, me likely the IR flower shots. and that picture of your father's backyard is really cool looking.

7/29/2006 1:55:34 PM

shot through a glass door. high iso to compensate slow lens. sky is blown (either sky or bird)

7/29/2006 2:20:56 PM

Why is this photo "ronny-esque?"
I don't have snakebites, gauged ears, or a pierced septum.

not the "looks like ronny" picture

its a "looks like something i'd see in ronny's gallery" picture

7/29/2006 3:15:58 PM

Oh, fair enough. I suppose most of my friends look similiar.

7/29/2006 5:02:17 PM

A few pictures I took in China last month

7/29/2006 6:54:40 PM

^ some of those look really good, but consider moving them to a different server...putting pictures in your tdub gallery BUTCHERS the quality...i'd like to see the bee in motion without the artifacts

ASSAULT OF THE PEASANT CAMERA

some of my favorite pics from DC last month (now sorting chicago...)
At the National Geographic Society


Near where my mother used to work (7th and something...the Au Bon Pain where I took the pictures below is the same Au Bon Pain she used to go to waaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the day). I'm just inexplicably pleased with this picture

Showing off my camera to Matt on the Metro.

Au Bon Pain pictures (this is part of a really amusing series)




The color is washed out on this, but the detail I got...I'm pleased. This was taken from the passenger window while moving.

This was the Star Jones of squirrels. Fat bastard!

as far as w/ the peasant cam, you can do some post processing to bring out the pics a lil bit.




[Edited on July 30, 2006 at 10:41 PM. Reason : what kinda camera did you use?]

7/30/2006 10:36:24 PM

I know nothing of postprocessing.

once this snazzy new mac arrives and I have some real blocks of free time, i'll delve into it.

From a picnic the other week. Too bad the hand got in the way and also it seems the hand is more in focus than the kid.

^ Good shots man. Whats your rig again? They're all supersharp. I keep feeling my photos dont come out sharp enough. Maybe I should use a smaller aperature.

And yea, the blue glow was from the inflatable pool.

8/1/2006 12:04:25 AM

Thanks! I'm using a Canon Rebel XT with the kit 18-55mm lens. I should be shooting more of these in RAW, though I've had good luck with post processing some of my pictures with the Canon software.

8/1/2006 12:20:26 AM

^ Nice man, Canon all the way!

Like I said, I'm really impressed with your shots. Great quality. The fact you did this with the kit lens is amazing.

I hated my kit lens and I havent used it since I got my 28-135 and other lenses. Maybe I'll have to give it a shot again

8/1/2006 12:24:20 AM

I can agree pretty much 100% with the review of the XT's kit lens on dpreview.com. The closer to 55mm, the softer the image goes. The 3 shots above were taken at 30mm, 18mm, and 27mm, respectively, all with a polarizer filter. I want to buy a good lens in the next month or so. By comparison of price with better lenses, I guess for ~$100, the kit lens is still a deal.

8/1/2006 12:48:17 AM

Alright, I don't know what happened to this thread but its getting slow.

Here's one to get us started.



I can't seem to get the photo seamless.

8/3/2006 3:19:55 PM

^ that's awesome, but i see what you mean...it's not THAT noticeable

i haven't taken any pictures worth posting recently

8/3/2006 3:21:55 PM

well hopefully a digital rebel xt is in my near future, finally decided after debating between it and the nikon... then i'll be snapping away!

8/3/2006 3:45:14 PM

the tdub server is not the best place to upload your pictures...it destroys any hint of quality, fyi

8/3/2006 3:48:51 PM

^^^^^Thanks quagmire. After the heatwave subsides, hopefully you can get more shots done.

Looking good everyone. Glad to see people posting again.

^ Yea, it also puts the damn tww watermark on the bottom.

Did some product photography a week ago for my buddies café.

8/3/2006 4:21:14 PM

For the food shots you should have stopped down a bit and gotten more DOF.

8/3/2006 5:16:54 PM

^^ i like them

8/3/2006 5:18:30 PM

^^^it's not their usual, but since it has espresso in it...see if espressoporn.com likes it?

Sooner or later, I'm going to get around to fixing my pictures. My dusk pictures from the mountains on the last day were disappointing. I'm sure it didn't help that with a front moving through, and us on top of the mountain, the light wasn't cooperating, and i still hadn't played around with my camera at sunset, so didn't know what adjustments needed to be made.

anyways - this is mostly what I have
The color is pretty accurate...slightly lacking in the amount of orange, but that's it.

^ good stuff Ambrosia. You took an assload I'll also have to check out that espressoporn link

^^^ They wanted the smallest DOF possible. I have others with stopped down but this is what I delivered to them.

8/3/2006 5:48:31 PM

Why would you want a thin DOF for product photos?
I figured they'd want the product visible, especially something like that.

8/3/2006 5:50:00 PM

They have alot of restaurant/cafe magazines here in Boston and most of them have photos with a narrow DOF. They wanted to emulate that feel.

8/3/2006 5:52:16 PM

point is he did what they asked for... and they are good looking pictures.

8/3/2006 8:52:35 PM

you may be a camera nerd if...

you look at this picture


and the first thing you think is "damn that picture has nice bokeh... its sooo smooooth "

[Edited on August 4, 2006 at 12:10 PM. Reason : yes i actually thought that when i saw the picture]

8/4/2006 12:09:54 PM

The background is distracting.

8/4/2006 12:23:29 PM

it'll probably bring her out a bit more once photoshop comes into play a bit more

also probably bring her out more if it wasn't on the tww server...
it tends to flatten images

[Edited on August 4, 2006 at 12:42 PM. Reason : d]

8/4/2006 12:39:48 PM

Did you take that photo?

It looks underexposed, and the sky is blown out (metered wrong/funny). Try not to cut off body parts (elbow, finger). A rule of thumb with photographing people is never cut off a body part where it bends (knee, elbow,ankle, etc...). The split background with her head right in the middle is a bit distracting is what I meant. She has a line growing out of the top of her head.

But that is just my two cents.
