The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

I've recently taken up casual photography, and I thought that it would be a good idea to get a critique here on some of my photos.

These were taken with my physics teacher's SLR camera.

Cool! You can see the green, red, and blue light spectrums! :wow

Those pictures are neat, but they are a bit big. I don’t suppose you could resize them a little smaller? (Maybe show a smaller picture that links to a larger one?)

If you’ll pardon a question from one who is virtually clueless about photography, how exactly do photos taken by an SLR camera differ from photos taken by other sorts of cameras?

Different types of cameras have different features. Usually, SLR cameras are better suited for professional photography, while the common point-and-shoot cameras are suited for casual photography.

By the way, these are compressed images. The original images are 3000x4000 pixels in size.

Does the higher quality or some particular capability of the SLR camera have anything to do with why you can see the differently colored rays of light?

Sounds like that SLR camera may be pretty complicated.

Well, pretty much. If you don't read the User Manual, you probably won't know how to work the camera. As I said, SLR cameras are mainly for professional photographers.

Also, no. These photos were things I actually saw during a class. I still don't fully know what caused this phenomenon, but it can be recreated.

As for the higher quality, most SLR cameras have a higher resolution capacity than the usual point-and-shoot camera.

I'll probably write or find a guide to cameras in the future. Just not right now, though.
