Cryptowen, what do you do to your pics? and what're you snapping with? your pics always look awesome.

i shoot with an old sony dsc-h5 i've had since i was 15. the lens cover is missing & i walk around with it all day, so there's always bits of dust & gunk smeared on the lens (the fountain shot is blurry around the edges because the night before i'd fished an old ice cream cone out of the trash & it dripped all over the place). I also generally save as gifs with 32 colours or less, and various contrast/colour correction effects. I like the way the digital & analogue distortions work together to smear the photo down into a vague approximation of real life

oh yeah and the shutter button's missing so i take photos by jamming a thumbtack into the hole

(nice pics everyone btw, i tend not to comment on individuals tho because this thread loads hella slow for me)

I like how you get the grids showing up as artefacts of the giffification. it's all very neuromancer, at least to me anyway.

took this yesterday. also iPhone 6. Still there is some improvement to be made

I've not messed around with that feature on my phone yet, I've not really found a location that seems interesting enough to use it with. That's a cool one though!

I used this app: http://occipital.com/360/app

You scan all around you by rotating the phone in 360 degress without moving the phone too much out of position. its really easy and self explanatory. When the shot is done you tap on the 2nd button top left and switch to stereographic mode. thats it

Thanks so much!

I took this in Osaka about six years ago. Leica on small tripod.

lol great dog. And nice lens flare.

I put a bunch of holiday snaps through a filter (reduce the palette to 3 colours, with dithering) and then picked the 20 or so coolest ones:

Those two are really great osc

built a quadcopter a while ago and been slowly learning to fly that...
stuck a gopro on the front :>)

heres some stills from around scotland

lovely aerial shots there, shame those blades got in the way though!

cheers! yeh, the blades do get in the way... going to build another one eventually, setup just for photography, it'll have camera stabilisation and no blades in view! theres a new one from DJI which has 4k video and separate controller for the camera so you can have someone working the shots, consumer tech is getting wild...

yeah, DigitalRev did a review on that one I think. the one where the rotor blades move up out of the FOV? very expensive toy! Also, I've heard of lots of photographers getting turned away at airports due to the ambiguousness of the legality of these things!

its funny how many vids are popping up on youtube of these things... anyone can pick one up for a few hundred dollars and potentially cause all sorts of mayhem unintentionally or maliciously... mine has a 1000m range, so going straight up you're well into civil aviation airspace, plus it weighs enough to put a big dent in anything it lands on falling from that height :)

i like to think i'm quite safe and dont fly in built up areas and dangerous places but not everyones that cautious, even with experience if something goes wrong these things dont glide at all and just fall like bricks

i can see legislation happening soon, it just takes one major incident and then lockdown

most folk see these as playthings rather than potentially lethal flying knives, those blades can be spinning at 20000rpm
