The Echo chamber dilemmaThe promise of the Internet was that unlimited information and experiences would draw us together. But instead it seems to have driven us apart.
For years I've observed this behavior but haven't been able to vocalize it correctly. Originally I called the behavior of collective opinions as "the hive mentality" of the Internet. But that wasn't exactly right and I often got called out on it. The most prominent example was when I made a comic about a guy disagreeing with opinions and being shouted at till he remained quiet, eventually fading into the background with everyone else. The consensus of that comic was that if you disagree with someone you aren't bullied into not speaking, but instead are free to go someplace else where people who do agree with you exist. And you know what? That wasn't what i was trying to convey, but is sadly true. The Internet is not a hive mind. It's many tiny pocket echo chambers of mutual agreements.
And this is becoming a growing problem, I think, because n

Callibrate your Wacom tutorialHad you finally made the transition from intuos 3 to intuos 4?, or Are you rich to change into an intuos 5? Had you made the transition from a first generation cintiq to the new ones?. More levels of pressure will mean more quality to the paintings, am i right?.
Did you thought that by default the pen will it be like using butter on bread?, you try it for the first time and you love all of it, you said i have sooooooo much control on my strokes im having a blast. Then only to realize you only have total control of the brush but when you are moving it really slow?. But when you do quick strokes the pressure drops a lot of paint making you redraw tons of stuff?
Did you ever thought that painter its hard to handle with new tablet? Too much pressure? If it has more pressure why i cant control more easier the beggining of the stroke which is more crucial?.
Have you ever open the customize option in wacom settings, only to feel dumb and no

Lensbabies?

Thu Jul 17, 2008, 10:06 AM

I've been hearing whispers about lensbabies and I know someone who uses one, but not well enough to ask.

It's been something I've thought of adding to my wish list, but I'm not very educated regarding them. I found a great website [link] but I've got to say it's sending me in circles as I can't decide how much work it will be to use one, whether the lens would be worth the money and effort and more so, which to go for? etc etc.

So I was wondering whether anyone here has anything to say, and if you do I'd love some feedback.

---

It's been pretty dark and boring over here in England, really hoping to get a few dry days with some less flat light so Rosanna, Sasha and I can give our ideas a go... but apart from a few from Sasha, concerning balloons (should be interesting

), I'm out of them completely.

I've spent a lot of time today going through all the photography news articles, looking for inspiration. I've gotta say, there is a huge amount of beautiful work... I couldn't help but feature a few I love (if you think I should check something out - note me)!

Thank you much for the feature

You have a lovely gallery, and a beautiful feature collection. As far as Lensbabies go: I've never used one, but they're a little expensive for an effect that you wouldn't want to always use, and can pretty well be achieved with Photoshop anyway

~escaped-emotions Jul 19, 2008 Professional Photographer

Yes, since I posted this I've discovered it probably would be a "toy" rather than something I can use for years and years.

Thank you for your comments on it nonetheless.

You're more than welcome for the feature - I enjoyed your gallery.

!surfnmurf333 Jul 18, 2008

i think that u look great & i luv the photos that u randomly choose & the artists work that u featured!lol

~escaped-emotions Jul 18, 2008 Professional Photographer

Thanks a lot, Pagie.

~Alex37 Jul 17, 2008 Hobbyist Photographer

I think you could do a really cool portrait series with jumping involved. Obviously a trampoline would be ideal, but I just think jumping shots are always fun!

~escaped-emotions Jul 18, 2008 Professional Photographer

Not a hard feat with my sisters having done a lot of trampolining. Great idea, thanks, Alex!

~Alex37 Jul 17, 2008 Hobbyist Photographer

You should find these helpful:

[link]
[link]
[link]
[link]
and others on the website I think.

General concensus is that they create unique effects which are hard to replicate in photoshop but they do require a little practice and certainly cannot be used "on the fly"

I think for what you do it would offer exciting creative options at a lowish cost (and I am assuming you cant afford a 50 1.2L or 85 1.2L

)

Alex

~escaped-emotions Jul 18, 2008 Professional Photographer

Actually, I haven't heard of the two you mentioned. I googled both out of interest and they seem really interesting. Kinder on the eye also compared to a lensbaby (but I suppose it depends on how you take it/the settings etc). What I don't know is, what's the difference between say the 85 1.2L and what I've got? If it was something to work towards, would it be worth it? I'm lucky to have a collection of lenses I can use... I've got a 100mm 85mm 50mm 24-70mm 16-35mm 135mm ...I don't know enough to know whether it would be worth getting a lensbaby, or something more expensive but which may be more useful.

~magderagon Jul 17, 2008

While i dont photograph much myself (holidays and bored moments with my phone being the limit really) but my friend goes on alot of photography websites and he said that quite a few have forums where you can ask questions and people are really helpful and supportive

As for photo ideas i agree about water in motion, always good, and woodlands never cease to provide good pictures whether on purpose or by accident and i wouldnt mind seeing a few more like the jeans since theyre the ones that first introduced me to your gallery (and im very glad about that ^^)

~escaped-emotions Jul 18, 2008 Professional Photographer

I've joined a forum, but I'm a bit hesitant.. always one to not be pushed down, or get too much criticism before I'm ready. Not to say I don't ask for it, but I ask in small amounts and then in crease that.

I'd just love to be able to get around more. Need to take my driving test! Walking and riding a bike is all fine, but around here there are hills everywhere, no problem - but with a camera + a few lens and a tripod (especially for landscape) = nightmare.

Jeans were just really a one-off go and as you may see, I took them down as I wanted to keep my gallery family-friendly, if you know what I mean. But who knows what I'll do in the future!
