Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

      It's out of focus, duh.

        That was my intention, however I see that it didn't give the effect I was looking for.

          Actually its not that out of focus, its the shutter speed.. if you had made it few tenths longer, you would have gotten better light.. but the problems with that would have been keeping it steady...

          was there like dust or mist in the air>???

            What were you going for with the lack of focus? That's always a gamble. I think it would have worked if there was more than just shadow in focus.

            I think it would look much better without that thing in the corner.... it takes up too much of the picture and doesn't add much.

              Ok, so it's is out of focus dammit! What can I do, it was taken from a small room through a window. I guess my settings and my steadiness were off. I really liked the lighting of that room. There are a few shades of red, orange and peach. The shadows of the statues gave them that enigmatic appearance. I loved the different shapes of that room as well, the arch, the squared tiles and a wall consisting of the elongated rectangles. Plus the lighting descends into the next room and accentuates the sculptures. It’s sort of “a room within a room, within a room,” surreal feel. Perhaps I am reading into it too much, but when I saw the room I fell in love with the shot. I guess it’s more of a personal sentiment. Now if someone could do me a favor and fix it with Photoshop, I would be eternally grateful. I tried to fix it myself, but I just added a blur, I am still very new to it.

              Siggie dear, welcome back. How was Hawaii?

                It may have just been shallow depth of field...
                I love the idea. If it's not impossible, you should try to retake it.

                Hawaii was a blast. I had a lot of fun, spent a lot of time outside, some time laying out and snorkeling, but managed to tan minimally. How do I do it?

                  Okay, how about this look? I did this in a hurry just to see how it would look... you can tell i didn't do it carefully.






                  *edit
                  Interesting... I'm looking at this from work now and it looks soooo dark. Practically no difference with the original. xxxxty monitors perhaps.

                    Thanks for taking your time to improve the quality, but I think it's hopeless. The image looks even more blurry, grainy and the colors are too harsh. I won't be able to get this shot, I don't remember the room I was in. I guess when I have more time I will try to work on it.

                      Yeah... trying to sharpen it in photoshop makes it a bit grainy. It works a bit better with a larger image though. I tried to make that first room, the one you were standing in, lighter, so at least it could be seen that that was in focus, rather than the whole thing looking out of focus.

                      I think it would be worthwhile to look into it. It's a promising idea.
