What's your age?
Man, I really don't FEEL like I'm 36-40, and I sure don't act like it, but there it is...
already interesting. Although 18 replies for now, already you see that this XDA product is used by young people and not the 'Managers of the world'..
I think this poll is more likely to show that younger thinkers will be attracted to a forum such as this, more than the profile of actual users. I guess I am a manager in this world, though I'm also a hands-on person too. I'm in the technology business because I love technology, and I love making my life easier and more interesting through the application of technology. The XDA is one of those things that has delivered business value for me AND is a fun thing to have. I look for excuses to mess with it and experiment, which is why I am here.

I've heard. In my part of the US, we get what we call "snowbirds" for the cooler months. They are old people who should not be driving any more who come down for our warm desert climate. They drive huge vehicles with no competence and no eyesight. Fun on a bike.
im only just 17 i picked up my xda for a bargain on ebay £190 exellent cond was dropped and one corner has a dent in (near the ir lens) but it works fine come with everything not even used :lol: i wanted a 7650 but i seen this for £190 so i got it ive had it for about 4 months now still going nice and good. I like it because it is like a pc and the games are brill and also i wanted mp3 lol :roll:
36 so I must be mature....
but also on two wheels. Some say it's immature but I didn't have the money for a bike when I was younger and I will never lose interest in technology and gadgets.
I have one example that this will stay that way. My mother in law (haha you say LOL). She is much older but is very interested in PC's and technology and recently started with some serious digital photography.
hmmmm, two paragraphs already and I still haven't convinced myself that getting older is no problem
I'm 18. I'm in the US and bought the XDA as a reward for myself after working full time all summer as a computer programmer for the local telco (BellSouth).

i have a Piaggio X9 500se - its a scooter. i know it isn't a true motor-cycle but due to past accidents on 'bikes my ability to change gear is limited - or should i say non-existent. so it's a scooter for me, although it looks like a motor-bike.

Hey, you don't even have an age category for me.

Sorry, I forgot to log in on my previous post.

How the hell do these people manage to afford this.. I got unlucky, lost my old phone, insurance paid out. Then got the XDA. Being unlucky made me lucky as well.
It was a Siemens ME45 that I lost. A very very good phone. Should be getting the S55 in a few days. Stupid name, but damn good phones in my experience.
I've had Siemens C45i, ME45, SX56 (XDA). And getting a S55 with camera soon hopefully...

Can a mod merge the threads then? Keeping the cheap jokes to the trashcan.

March/April Topic: Cityscapes
POTM will be suspended until we finally decide how to get more people to participate.
We are starting a Photo of the Month Challenge here in the Photography thread. You are given the theme, and you are free to interpret it the way you want, as long as all required points are taken into account. The topic and dates will be listed below this text. The photos will be hosted on my website (http://jaszekphoto.com/xda-photo-challenge/ [for now it's just a test site, but you can see the layout]) and we will have a vote from the website itself. The results will be posted here and updated at least once a day. We're still deciding how long the voting will go for. The winner of a given month will be posted here and will get an honorary nothing here on XDA. Maybe some day we will have prizes and stuff.
VOTE FOR THIS THREAD TO BE ON XDA PORTAL SO WE GET MORE PARTICIPANTS.
To enter:
Send an e-mail to [email protected] with the title and your XDA nick in the subject like.
Wait for me to update the website with your photo.
At the end of the month I will open the poll for people to vote on the photos for the given month.
Any questions PM either me, tinky1, dexter93 or the email posted above.
RULES:
Send the original photo file. Not one downloaded from Facebook, or linked to a different hosting site. Many of them remove the EXIF, and decrease the resolution.
Remember to satisfy all of the requirements of the theme for the given month.
1 photo per month with only 1 change allowed.
The photo has to be take in that month.
Photos with stripped/manipulated EXIF data will be rejected. (Film people you can send them in)
Think about the kids
Have fun, and move your ass outside to compete.
Photo manipulation accepted as long as it's not too much.
Photos on the website will be posted without your nick, as to not make this a popularity contest.
No logos/copyright symbols.
Voting will start at the 1st of the next month.
When voting, ignore physical limitations of gear, like low resolution images, chromatic aberration etc.
Try not to vote for your own submission.
Have fun.
I guess since this is the first topic, I can post it. This will be for November, and it will be a beta test, but the winner will still receive nothing, just like the winners in the next months.
TOPIC:
Motion
DATES:
February 1st to February 28th.
PAST WINNERS
February: Motion: Jaszek
December/January: Cars/Automobiles: Jaszek
November: Buildings: dexter93

This is the PHOTOGRAPHY thread, where we talk all things photography gear wise, composition wise and other stuff wise. This is not the Random Image thread. That is HERE!!!!!!.
_____________________________
Photography is the art, science and practice of creating durable images by recording light or other electromagnetic radiation, either chemically by means of a light-sensitive material such as photographic film, or electronically by means of an image sensor.[1] Typically, a lens is used to focus the light reflected or emitted from objects into a real image on the light-sensitive surface inside a camera during a timed exposure. The result in an electronic image sensor is an electrical charge at each pixel, which is electronically processed and stored in a digital image file for subsequent display or processing.

So as none of you know, I'm a photographer, and lately I've been into time lapses. If you don't know what it is, it's a bunch of photos taken over a period of time (lets say 2 hours) the put together as a really fast slideshow, for example with each frame showing in .1 of a second, which gives you animations. In this thread, I shall post these time lapses, did one yesterday, and doing one today, just finishing up.
To tell you the truth, I just want more YT views, but you enjoying it is a plus, and make sure you watch it full screen in 1080p
I love time lapses! It's just amazing to watch a full day go by within minutes from photographs. I wish I had the patience to do time lapses but unfortunately for me, I do not have the time. Anyway, I can't wait to see more
This one if from today. I'll try to make a whole day one through my window on friday, starting at 12am, and ending at 11:59PM.
Have fun doing the whole day one! I should probably get out and start shooting again. :/
Anyway, I like the fact that they just go from clear blue skies to a dark blue night

Twilight hour is the best time for shooting...at least for me. (http://flic.kr/p/9ztJh1)
I wonder how my parents will take it. The window overlooking the street is where they sleep. lol.
Now that I think about it, the view sucks from my window :/. Guess I'll have to wait till I'm in Poland, the view is a bit more pleasant, and at night we will see the stars
Twilight's always nice and I like that picture especialy. I usually like going out at night more but I don't bring my DSLR with me when I'm out and downtown but I'm way too paranoid of someone running into me and yanking it away... it's quite nice downtown since there's a harbour front and lake shore. Get the stars! I haven't seen any stars since like 10+ years ago. Haha, the view from my window... is to my backyard, nothing interesting going on there!
I'm sure you can get some good Sunrise/sunset images from your backyard, depending on wether you get a view of east or west. Living in NYC means I barely get to see stars, and if you had me on facebook, you would see how excited I got about seeing stars in the time lapse. lol. When you search my flickr, you will find some startrails I took 2 years ago in Poland. But that was with the XSi, now that I have a 7D, I'm sure I'll get better results
Very nice man.
Check out this guys work to see what to aspire to...

Haha, yeah the sunrises from my backyard definitely look nice. I don't see stars in Toronto either, it's mostly like just those dark nights with nothing except building lights and trees in the way. I have a cherry tree in my backyard so it's hard to get a picture especially if I'm on the second floor. I haven't seen stars since I was in 7th grade. I'll check out your flickr in a bit

That's what I hate about living in the city. We barely see stars due to the light pollution. Which is why I can't wait to go to Poland. I know of one spot where I can sleep in a tent and have it shooting the whole night.
Haha I find time lapse vids interesting. You got some nice ones up there!

Thanks. I'm actually sitting on top of a roof now doing another one...I think I have a problem. lol
^ It's okay, it's not a problem... I had an origami problem a few months ago. I couldn't get out of it until I ran out of paper. I had a drive home from work just a few moments ago and the sunset was amazing! It was a full bright orange circle I was like OPPORTUNITY MISSED. I looked out my window a few minutes later, it's like NO SUNSET. I'd stay up and take pictures of a sunrise if I could see it through my room but maybe I'll wait for a beach trip.

I'm thinking you would get some awesome shots in New Found Land, maybe even get the Aurora Borealis
Yeah, I was watching an Aurora Borealis time lapse video earlier in the day, it was so pretty but until I'm done with school and saved up, all my trips will have to wait, sigh, a few more years to go and all done. How's the current time lapse?

I just came back home, about to import the photos into iMovie and see what comes out. I'm thinking it'll come out pretty good, finished at about 9:25, started at about 7:25. GOt the sunset, and twilight.
New one from today
Yay for another video. I like all of them, there isn't one that I don't like. I'm more of a city girl than anything I just adore buildings and streetlights. thanks for the new video. Sunset and twilight are always really pretty. How many times lapses are you planning on making?
hey OT !!
Valentine's day is coming up pretty soon.
I know we've been going through the same thing every year, ranting bout it's all part of the market's plan to boost item sales and chocolates and blah blah. That's one way to look at it.
anyway, any of you got special plans you'd like to share with us ?
or is it just myself that i tend to over-fantasise on these kind of things cuz im still a kid ?
I don't think it's just you.
I'm sure there's plenty of other XDA members that are doing something for V day.
Mind you my guy (and no I'm not a girl) is not into chocolate much so flowers and teddy bears are what I'm aiming, besides he loves flowers say I could buy them more often. Got a nice little place called Black Tomato's booked for us and friends.
Men last year for the V day special they had this amazing Lamb chop souflé and salad (5 course meal) for 35$... WAS amazing. Just check out the pics.
The desert was just as equally enjoyable.
Very much looking forward to diner with friends on Tuesday it's going to be great.
The video clip that I made myself for a Dutch band got nominated for a Berlin Music Video Award!! Just take a look and see if you like it!

I've said it before and I'll say it again.... Awesome vid is awesome.
But, post the new link in the existing thread you have for it. There are already has testimonials in there that may dissuade some trolling, mine included. I recognised the video immediately.
