Take a Photo, Get a patch! (my new monthly give away)
Some of you may have noticed that I stopped doing my famous 'Desktops of [current month]' Forum topics.
These few days of past, I may have bought myself three cameras, so it prompted me to think.
Thus I bring you my new monthly forum topic, which I hope more people can get involved with than the Desktop wallpaper topics.
Essentially, every month I am going to post a topic with a distinct theme. The task then is for you guys to go out and take a picture along that theme, and post it as a comment.
This months theme is an introductory one -
Go and take a picture of your camera using your camera.
Make the most of reflective surfaces, and interesting techniques. If you own more than one camera I want you to use your favourite, because this is the first topic, think of it as a 'hello, meet my camera'.
You do not have to be in the photo, so you can still take part if your conscious of putting your picture on the webz.
Remember, the best camera is the one you have with you. I know that one of you could easily take an amazing picture with your phone, while someone with a nice Canon 7D could struggle to find a nice shot.
Every person who posts gets a patch!
Here is a picture of me with my Canon just after I had got my 50mm prime lens!

Feed-back effect via Canon's live-feed software. I'm holding a mirror in front of the camera and removes it. Utilizing the delay transferring the live feed via USB I'm able to give it a bit of video feedback before taking the shot.
Let me explain...
I work as a MRI researcher. This image is a 3D reconstruction of my head from a structural scan. The MR-image data details the entire volume of my head, not just an outside surface projection.
It is becoming standard to "strip" the facial region data thus preserving anonymity of human subjects. An automated computer program would be the best to perform this. However, it is non-trivial to automate this without loosing parts of the brain (the object we are studying).
So this was a test of the BET tool. In this case, my mouth was not removed, a potential problem. Looks like I needed to shave also.
Thought this would be an interesting tangent to gmjhowe's original request. I find it immensely enjoyable knowing what the back of my eyeballs look like, something I suspect few can attest to!
(even though I know it's too late for the April contest - I just thought it was a neat idea and wanted to get in on it)
My Canon EOS450D + Sigma EX 10-20mm + hotel room's bathroom mirror.
fujifilm finepix s1500, ISO 800, 1/75 second exposure, f-stop 2.8
The picture didn;t turn out as good as I hoped, But eh. Here are two with the light in different positions. Maybe I should have put the camera closer to one of the mirrors?
Mirrors are sucky. I cleaned these, but they still hated me.
Out of all the photos i saw in the comments section none had any form of nature in them (with the exception of the one taken in Tokyo) and so I felt that I had to bridge the gap between nature and technology.
I have owned a S1 IS which still takes pictures almost as good as my new SX1.
My favorite features about the SX1 is the full 1080p HD video and the 580mm/20X zoom.
This picture is from an instructable i made a while back on photography. Follow the link to see the instuctable with many more of my photos: www.instructables.com/id/Photography-the-guide-to-great-photos/

Here I is on one of my walkabout photo safaris... early in the morning, snapping the graffiti on a window... with ye olde Yoga Loft across the street behind me. Love my Nikon D80 and all the thousands of fun photos it affords me!

mine is also a sony cyber shot DSC-W55.
Also, I am new to this whole monthly patch thing. What is the deal with the patches?
However, we also do have various forum topics where we give out loads of patches to who ever comments, or even patches for mini contests like this.
One hand and shutter speed 1/3.
Vote for me in the "Health by Design" Contest!
Personally, I pay for my film to be developed only, then scan the films.
That's a good idea, are there any tricks to scanning negatives?
Another option if you have a standard scanner, is to attach a strong very even light source ontop and scan as usual.
Just the day after my camera broke :(
You planning to buy a new one? or are you doomed to forever be camera less?
I don't know which one yet some further investigation needs to be done (I never go out and buy something without first checking prices and reviews ;) )
Any suggestions you might have are most welcome :)
For now however I'm stuck with my phone camera for my instructables. But it takes descent pictures so not to worry ;)
It's a really bad picture.
Usually it does better then that.
Bad camera. Bad camera!
Beautiful black design with electric blue elements. Takes great photos, does macro really well too, I use it for all my instructables.
Its about 4 years old now, might get a micro4thirds soon.
I bought it in France on a trip with my dad, he left my older cybershot camera on a table and it got stolen, he claims it wasn't his fault.
yea and i'm flying in the picture :)
It (the S8100) is the camera I use for all my Instructables, since switching from an old Dimage Z1.
