Thanks bro - I took it with a fish-eye lens that I was borrowing from a friend, which is why its got that spherical look.

thats what I told myself, it was indeed a little bit spherical, but it only makes it better..way to go

Oh my, the sky is just so beautiful, and I love the ground, the texture is very interesting

Thank you

That's how a true artist speaks!

I'll look into your gallery even further later on

ppfft haha it was a little strange

Thats what I thought at first, but then it occurred to me that predatory precipita (as opposed to the vegetarian kind) typically say that sort of thing, so its perfectly normal

haha funny thing is though i hate the name, its sposed to be predatory precipitation, in honor of a cloud thing i was facinated with for a bit...

Thanks, I saw Mufasa that day (he advised me on what angle to use when taking the picture)

Woo, You've got some fancy fisheye going on there. I actually like the composition. It's not the tradition 1/3rd positioning for the photo's focal point that is the recommended standard (recommended by who, huh?), but that actually works well with the rich textures of the ground, the imposing stretch up to the structure, and then the sky marbled with clouds above. Ees good.

Yeah I was borrowing my friends lens. Looks like your last upload was in 2009 man, tsk tsk

Placing the little cabin just off centre really works for this one.
I'm not sure if I like the bright colours. I think I do though.
I do however like the distorted point of view.

Thanks - I try to use that rule of thirds when I compose
I want drawings!

HDR does not ring a bell for me? High definition...something?
I want drawings too 
π: 0 β©: 1
High Dynamic Range - If your camera has a manual mode you can control the amount of light entering the camera (the exposure) - so you over expose one shot, under-expose one and then expose one properly. Using software you join the images together to get a wide range of light in the shot (in a way that you couldn't do with a single shot)...thats the gist of it at least
Where have all the drawings gone?
π: 0 β©: 1
Aha!
I'm not such a big know it al on camera's sadly.
And they have gone nowhere, but my scanner has
To join all the other electronics I have unintentionally destroyed

I used to think HDR was high definition render just a few months ago - the beauty of the brain
NOooo - scanner trouble
π: 0 β©: 1
If I'd write a story about every problem I have with electronics I would have a book by now
Ha, making high definition out of the HD part is logical I guess

Did you use a fish eye lens on this or distort on your own? It is very nice, I love the texture of the cracks, and I really love the sky. It almost looks like a whirlpool.

I'm holding a friends fish-eye for a bit

No, that's just what they reminded me of. Those crepe roses that some people make. They just didn't look real which I thought was cool.

I actually thought they looked too real to be made of paper

Maybe I should have could up with a better name, but even pure genius comes up with a dud sometimes. Just kidding about the pure genius.

Good question, because it is seeking something of higher knowledge. I don't know if I am seeking higher knowledge, but sometimes my ego does get the best of me.
π: 0 β©: 1
I think seeking is almost always good (God guides those who seek) - but the arrogant genius (or the ego we all have) tends to lack purity I think, right?
π: 0 β©: 1
Your right. The egos intention aren't pure, but the mastering of the ego through spiritual reasoning is a way that god teaches us to overcome our physical selves. He doesn't expect us to not have an ego but rather to master it rather than it master us and get the best of us.

you got that right

This is interesting!
I can't say I'm fond of the adjustments you've made, as it feels a bit too harsh... and it feels overexposed in some areas, but I like how there's almost a curve-y feel... was this captured with the fisheye? O.o
Anyway, The point of view is great and I like the composition a swell. It's interesting how it feels as if the world revolves around this, almost.
You could have captured more sky, but the positioning isn't too bad here...
But yeah, interesting stuff.

Its HDR (and maybe that is an acquired taste?), its a return to my older more garish style - and yup fisheye
You're right about the sky, I could have positioned the ground a bit lower (closer to the bottom third I guess) - but as it was, my face was pressed against the ground trying to compose a decent shot - and I'm trying to avoid cropping
On your poll I went with specialist - though I'm not sure you can divide "jack of all trades" and a "master" (the jack of all trades has to have mastered something to be good at so many things right?) - then there are people that have mastered many things...
Thanks

HDR is an acquired taste... yes, perhaps so. I'm not too fond of it myself, although I can appreciate it if it's done well, I guess.
Hmm.. I was enjoying your newer stuff, but eh.
Yes! Was that the only thing you found difficult?
Mm-hmm. I can relate to that.
Possibly... I don't think so, though, or rather, not as much a 'Master' as another, like.

Maybe...there are savants or geniuses at some given thing (lacking in severely in other aspects of life) and then there are people that seem to be pretty good at most of what they do. So in that sense would you prefer to be a savant or a person that functions "normally"?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yes, I guess that's the case.
True... =/
Isn't that meant to be the case?
I've got a zoom from 10-17.. so it's sort of versatile, but there isn't much fishiness at 17mm.
I was going to buy the 8mm peleng, but.. eh. I still may. >.>
Perhaps... They would be deemed as abnormal on the normality scale. >.>
I'd rather be a generalist, although I've dreamed of being a specialist.

I usually try and imagine what the shot I'm taking will look like when I run around with my DSLR - so even though the fisheye is meant to distort, it does so more than I usually imagine
What do you think you are - generalist or specialist? I'm not good enough at anything to be considered a "specialist" (I've embraced the mediocrity) so I guess I'm a generalist
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, likewise... you do build that skill up, in a sense, when you practice enough.
Mm-hmm... I got wide-angle first, myself, but I thought fisheye would be fun.
Generalist. I'm pretty average to be a specialist.
Well, not unless you mean in organising stuff. Then I'm a specialist there.
Yeah, me too.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah I have a wide-angle - but its for my Olympus
Would you rather be an average specialist or a proficient generalist?
Ah the beauty of mediocrity
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah, that sucks. =/
Sell it!
Generalist. Always, I think. I'll dream of specialist... but.. yeah, generalist is where I'm at.

I've given that to my father and brother
Me and money don't get along - my dad offered me money for the DSLR set I gave him, but I didn't want it (I end up spending money I get "for free" on things I really don't want or need 
Why dream of specialist?
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah, I see... fun stuff. o.O
Aww..
Oh right.. is that a bad habit?
To be the best of the best? Who wouldn't dream of that?
π: 0 β©: 1
I don't know if its a bad habit...I feel like I'm cheating people when I take money for things that I think may be worthless
Thats true

Oh... that's fair enough. I can understand that.
