So, is there anyone you don't see up there you think should be? Discuss and keep those members in mind for next time!

Kinda hard to predict where he will be, but I also hope he recruits good members and forms something awesome

Because I like Daisuke or something.

I think I threw up a little at this topic. Like I threw up a little before but then I read some of the stuff in here and I threw up a little more.

Had 10 minutes, batteries died, no good poses, but I like the lighting.
P.S. I've had that dinosaur sandbox since I was 3.
 

 
 

Meow!

not the type to be posting myself, but i like this pic
 

RIP in peaces, your innocence.

I wanna scream because I'll never have this sort of quality in my photos ;; -claps a lot-

I guess I'll post my photos here too... though they aren't really artwork... but I'm working with a really old hand me down Nikon D50 lol 
The nob is also broken, so i have to go in to the menu to change the ISO. Shutter speed and f-stop settings? FORGET ABOUT IT. 
Hopefully i can save up and get a better camera. We use Canon at work, and I'm sort of becoming biased for Canon. Nikon is cool too I guess, but everything is literally opposite so it's weird coming home and being like... oh wait.
 
anyway here are some photos of my cat? idk.

For sure!
 
I have 2 cameras, a Canon 6D and a Canon 7D. The 7D has since become my backup camera (though the very first shot in this is with the 7D). The 7D is pretty much an all around better camera in most aspects, but the 6D is a full frame camera and I just love the depth of field I can get with it.
 
I have 4 lens that I use regularly as well:
Sigma 35mm f/1.4 (I don't think I could live without this lens)
Canon 70-200m f/2.8 IS II (my huge white telephoto)
Canon 16-35mm f/4 IS (wide angle)
Rokinon 8mm f/3.5 fisheye (for when I want to go incredibly wide)

Thanks! But I wouldn't be too hard on yourself. If I posted some of my shots from like 5 years ago I think you see that it's pretty possible. Just a shit ton of time...
Also, this reminds me that I need to post more in this thread.

Time for a couple more:
 

 

 

Photography is by far and away the art I am doing the most of lately (well, outside of all the design I do for work, if you count that). I figured that it deserved it's own post. Expect to see mostly cosplay and action sports stuff in here.
 
Let's start things off with one of my favorite shots from last season.

New photo edit from Anime Milwaukee

Pretty much this. While I think both instrumentation and vocals are important, in my personal experience, I find that i'm more often drawn to the former. There have been many cases where I've heard vocals that I didn't enjoy, but found myself able to appreciate them under a new light thanks to how appealing the music was - bands like 凛として時雨 and 9mm Parabellum Bullet come to mind. The opposite has never been true for me.
