Heat
 


 


I remember there's someone here who may have the same fan as me?

Not that you can really tell in these.

I went to the beach today, with my friend and her dog.

 


Buddy was proud of his chewed stick.
 


This beast ran across our blanket
 


We picnicked on Crispers

mr. cantankerous is pretty good. probably better than me as i really like this for some reason (although i think i'm getting lines around the eyes)

i really am not taking the piss, but you look quite pink floyd-ish in that pic.

EMMAh 06.12.2008 11:18 PM

There are lots of beaches in Canada.

Mr. Cantankerous takes really nice pictures from what I remember.

You look stunning ;)

Cantankerous 06.12.2008 11:19 PM

what do you mean? re: pink floyd comment

and thanks emma, he does take nice pictures.

Everyneurotic 06.12.2008 11:25 PM

looks like the photos and some artwork from around the ummagumma/atom heart/meddle period. it also looks like the individual pics in the back of the velvet underground and nico, a bit.

Cantankerous 06.12.2008 11:27 PM

oh ha.

i wouldve taken it very differently myself. for one i would have used a flash and waaaayyyy overexposed it or used really hard lighting.

Everyneurotic 06.12.2008 11:29 PM

you both obviously have different styles.

it looks awesome.

EMMAh 06.12.2008 11:30 PM

I would have done it differently too, I dunno how but...

Anyways, I do like it how it is. I also like that it's colour and not black and white.

Cantankerous 06.12.2008 11:30 PM

me too. i'm sick of b/w photography.

that we do. thanks matey.

Everyneurotic 06.12.2008 11:34 PM

i like that it's vivid color yet natural.

i'm sick of black and white artwork but it comes with the diy spirit, just ask crass.

no problem, lass *wink wink*.

EMMAh 06.12.2008 11:39 PM

I like some black and white stuff, just there's shit out there that really bothers me.

Some people think making something black and white automatically makes it a good picture. That really bugs me.

Everyneurotic 06.12.2008 11:41 PM

yeah, most of the time, b/w pics end up looking like grey-ish messes.

Cantankerous 06.12.2008 11:42 PM

people don't know how to do it properly is the problem. they either use far too much contrast or far too little. and fucking no one knows how to compose a picture anymore. it's not that hard.

EMMAh 06.12.2008 11:44 PM

I don't feel that I compose a lot mine.

Cantankerous 06.12.2008 11:48 PM

i don't either but you know how people try and take a picture of themselves by holding their camera out at arm's length and pulling some bizarre angled pose? and think it's good because they plastered on makeup and upped the contrast a bunch?

that shit doesn't work.

EMMAh 06.12.2008 11:53 PM

Not for a nice photo, no.

Cantankerous 06.12.2008 11:56 PM

well i don't think it works ever to be honest.

i think it makes the subject look like a twat.

because they are.

EMMAh 06.13.2008 12:01 AM

If they're tyring to make it look like a technically good picture, then I think they look pretty dumb most of the time.

But if it's just for the sake of taking a picture of yourself, then whatever. You know?
