Photography / First.
Last post by Friedland -
Okay, looks like we have a new category here - Photography.
And since no posts have been done yet, I'll go first with this one:



It's really quite a simple still life and I'll try to break it down for you.
It is all arranged in my kitchen, with light coming in through a window on the left, about a meter away from the subects.
On top of the kitchen tablle, I have arranged the objects to form this composition as you see it.
And that's it.

So, what kind of super-duper camera did I use to take the picture with ?
Well - I didn't.
The camera I used was this one:



Yes, a 12 MP point-and-shoot.
Sensor size = Same as in a mobile phone.
No viewfinder - there's a screen on the back - and no interchangeable lenses - it's equipped with a fixed 4.5 - 18 mm lens with 4x zoom - and it's about the size of your palm.
Set on a rickety, bloody cheap, amateur tripod that isn't level in any way at all, no matter how you arrange it.

So you don't need a big camera equippment to make interesting photos.
Any camera will do  and I bet you got one in yor phone.
Because it's not the camera that makes the photo.'
It's you !

Outlaws / Banned
Last post by Nena -
Well, I created this forum, so I'll  out myself first  8)

I'm an outlaw at renderhub, because I made a very stupid mistake.
Nothing illegal, but this was the last drop to get me banned there.
My opinion wasn't much liked in many cases, I stirred up the forum for sure one or two times too many.

My account is shown as "closed" even though I have asked by now more than once, that I wanna see all deleted.
And for what ever reason I get ignored.

If it matters ... it matters / Re: Are forums outdated?
Last post by MKDAWUSS -
While forums have been largely replaced by social media, I think they've become more niche rather than outdated. They still serve a purpose for more specialized places of discussion with conversations a lot easier to follow - and with longer lifespans - than most social media sites. They're also places that still pack a little of that old school anonymity, as many social media outlets tend to prefer actual identities over avatars and screennames.
