Hah, you reader... don't expect others to get an Orwell reference.

Careful what you say, Pig Brother is watching you!

I wish I was Ramone! ;X

Great advice Ramone xDxD I didn't understand some of it, I am a noob with professional cameras, when I said I know how to use it, I meant the very very basics, like connecting it to a PC, the automatic features, zoom in and out lol, getting videos from it, how to attach the lense and generally focus a bit at different distances.

It'd be cool to learn more about post processing, I know absoluletely zilch, well at least I think I know nothing about it, I don't know about shutter speed, aperture and ISO setting.

I hardly do post processing, only cropping and such easy shits.
with higher ISO you need less light with the same shutter speed and aperture, but get more noise, so use the lowest you can (unless you want noise, but you can add some at post processing too)
f number means the rate of the focal length and the aperture diameter

"Ramone" lol

Use it a lot and you'll explore!

There are only a very few things you must know about using your camera.

Play around with shutter speed. Learn what's the slowest you can use without a stand and without getting blurry images. Take photos of a fountain to see how blurry/sharp the water(drops) gets with different speeds, or take photos of a cyclist (follow the movement while you shoot) to see how blurry background you get.

Try different apertures. With a higher f number you will need slower shutter speed but the depth of field (the spatial and plain province of sharpness) will be bigger, and vice versa.

If you take a picture of something horizontal and you actually want it to appear horizontal on the picture, watch for it to be horizontal. This might sound trivial, but it's not. Even a little bit of displacement can be annoying. You can adjust the lines of the object to the margins of the viewfinder, for example.

If you don't take photos of horizontal objects, but there are straight lines: lines that go from the bottom left to the top right are comfortable to view at for the most people.

Plus one more thing from me. I don't have a professional flash, so I use the built in. But I hate when I get pictures with burning faces and background dark as hell, so I found out a very simple method to avoid this: use longer exposure time, around 1-2 secs (with f around 5-10), and the flash. This way you get somewhat lighter backgrounds, but the main object will be still quite sharp, because the flash illuminated it for a very little time with strong light. example: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-ZQl-45S0Q0c/TjU84fi6GdI/AAAAAAAARFU/wqcW4g0OvAk/_MG_5155.jpg

Oh, and try every time of the day! In the morning, or afternoon when the subeams shine through leaves with a low angle, that can be beautiful.

I thought you plopped the other one

And you would just tell the truth

Hmm you didn't put my idea to the options, that you have to reply and write down WHY you want to smite. Same way like you have to explain why you want to upload a freewin.
Without a good reason you shouldn't be able to smite!

Oh, man, and who will decide if your reason is a good reason? [ * ] Democracy is not the ultimate answer to everything.. (It's 42.)

*For those who might lost my train of thought: I suppose that the most likely answer would be something like that mods would do the censor. >> But I don't think they could handle that, when moderated people's posts are too much already. >> So the other option could be a vote about the reason. >> That's just nonsense.

Jus to get in the conversation again: it's good to get some applauds, isn't it? And it feels bad, when you get smites, aye?
No one gets smitten or applauded for no reason, there is always a reason. And I can't believe people don't know the reason they get those pluses or minuses for.
Even if it's something in the past. Consequences can live longer on the internet, they mean less than in "real life" though, imo.
If you can't handle your feelings about your karma, internet is not for you.

that's intersting that last post by doubletime was in April, and today he got 4 smites in a row... f@#! this system which bases on 'who you like, and who you dislike'

He might got those smites because of his behaviour in games or chat as well.. But seriously, who cares?

i love it and at the same time hate it for being stuck in a few levels..

ElMa ftw!
Nice to see you guys played that game! Did you know it's hungarian? 
I passed all classic levels btw. It took months, but I'm so proud  

And Krezo lol, Sven Bomwollen!! I used to play that on boring classes xDD

Then it's me who got trolled here.

The most pathetic attack ever of a FoS member against Komo?

rofl

Well call it "the most pathetic attempt to troll", maybe it's more significant. But trolling is the same in my dictionary. It's just an euphamism.
