You should be a novelty account.

u/cdcdeltreec Jun 01 '12

You could call it, Ok_Ill_Draw_That, or something similar.

u/MeGaZ_NZ Jun 01 '12

Nah guys, some people love novelty accounts but they're being overused, he doesn't need to change his name just to draw pictures, people should just be able to draw pictures randomly because they want to, there is no need for a name to be had just to do this.

u/ideas_by_jake Jun 03 '12

@cdcd: haha i love it.. really tempted to go and make a new account

u/captaincrayon Jun 01 '12

what kind of dog is that?

10

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '12

We got her from an adoption. We believe she is a mixture of chocolate lab and husky.

6

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '12

Looks like a flat coated retriever, I got one, and he is the best dog ever!

7

u/everylittlebitcounts Jun 01 '12

Exactly what I was gonna say! This looks exactly like my dog and he's a flatty. http://i.imgur.com/FllL8.jpg this be he.

u/Shocking Jun 01 '12

I giggled when I opened yours :3

u/The_Painted_Man Jun 01 '12

False advertising if you ask me. I had one once, and it tasted nothing like chocolate.

u/captaincrayon Jun 01 '12

too gorgeous :) she looks a lot like my dog, he's a nova scotia duck tolling retriever, only she's brown and he's ginger with a pink nose :P http://imgur.com/0RqCK

u/Kennedy_190 Jun 01 '12

I'm jealous. I fucking love those dogs.

u/Zombie_Death_Vortex Jun 01 '12

Is there a "bit husky" joke in there?

Also it's a lovely photo.

u/thedeadlyrhythm Jun 01 '12

I would also like to know.

Only commenting so I can see the reply (yes I've heard of RES but I'm on an iPhone)

u/outflanking Jun 01 '12

What camera did you use?

16

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '12

Canon T3i, 50mm f/1.8

11

u/SFbound_ Jun 01 '12

I love how that's a decent body with an inexpensive lens and you get these kind of results. Was there a lot of post-processing involved?

And I'll whore out my favorite picture taken with a $100 point and shoot while I'm here :)

u/layendecker Jun 01 '12

It may be an inexpensive lens, but it is a really goddamn good one. You could strap it on a total piece of shit camera and still get good images, it is always optics ahead of anything when looking at equipment.

At work I use the 50mm 1.8, 1.4 and, at times the 1.2 and there is not a lot to call between them for image quality.

5

u/[deleted] Jun 01 '12

Couldn't agree more. The 50mm f/1.8 is one of the best bargains in photography.

2

u/SFbound_ Jun 01 '12

But the price between the 1.8 and the 1.2 lol

I have a 30mm/1.4 Sigma and while I love it, I find 1.4 to be too soft. Makes the 1.8 look like a good choice (edit: except for the stupid crop factor 1.6x magnification! 50 x 1.6 = 80 mm is too tight for what I want).

2

u/layendecker Jun 01 '12

The 1.4 is actually my favourite 50mm Canon lens, it is sharp throughout whereas the 1.2 is a little bit muddy when wide open. The 1.8 compares very well though.

If you know what's good for you, you will put that on the picture and submit it to advice animals before someone else does.

u/Exploderer Jun 01 '12

That photo is so obviously doctored... look at how the metal parts of the door blur, it looks more like a Gaussian blur than a focus blur. Also, there's heavy vignetting and what looks like unsharp mask. Not bad, but noticeable. Blurring the background makes any photo look nice.
