Cps 1500

ok just checking. But I'm still wondering how you get such clear pictures. You must have a really high capture rate on your camera. And judging by the quality of your large pictures, also very high megapixles. Like 5?

only 2 megapixels. The way I get always good clear pictures is just the way I take the pictures.

A magician never tells his tricks.

That's not cool. Tell me please, I'm really into video, and I'm sure that whatever you are doing what be a good technique for closeups and such.

He won't say. Don't beg and someday he might give it to you.

[BlueSmudge]

I doubt it, he will just forget.
[at]DA, are you using some kind of filter, or what, besides how do you take those pictures without hte help of others? This would be good info, but it still doesn't tell use how you geth such good detail in the stream of the blaster. The only other thing I could guess is using photoshop, but its just not worth it.

I use Paint Shop Pro 7 and 8, that does a heck of a job toucing up photos. Try that, only $100.

[BlueSmudge]

Once again, what do you think I am? made of money?!!! I think photoshop is awesome, and I'll stick with what I got. And keap the $100 I don't have.

There is not much of a secret. Its not a step by step thing, but a certain feel how to do it. Plus I doubt that you would want to do my shooting technique, since there is a 80% chance to permanently destroy your camera.

[BlueSmudge]

why? do you shove it infront of the soaker, and pull it away as shoots?

[Ben]

If there was an 80% chance, then I'm assuming that you've gone through several cameras already right? I doubt that.

It looks to me like he just uses a low f-stop (like 1.2 or something) and a very fast shutter speed. Then he just gets it in focus, possibly with a camera stand, and takes the picture. He also might have one of those push button things to take a picture, and he has hooked it up so when he pulls the trigger it will take a picture.

Actually I don't think he goes through all that work. He probably just has a digital camera that works good with fast motion.

80% means the risk factor. At first I did some practice shot with my emty hand and it was hit many times. After practice it worked better. With 80% Im not refering to me, but to you guys who have not practiced it. And zoom will only decrease the image quality. Im not going to say more than that, since there is not more I can say to that. All I will say is, that the actual stream sometimes comes a close to the camera as 1.5 inches.

Photoshop rocks too, however, I like Paint Shop because I do web design and graphics from scratch. I don't feel like debating over what is better, I don't like to start fights.

BTW, it's keep, not keap.

[BlueSmudge]

your probably right. Paintshop is a great program. I think photoshop is overrated, and somehow costs $700.
And keap is so much cooler. You must not be cool

EDIT: I won the 1500 (does some cool dance you never thought possible, then ddoes some even cooler dance, then eats pizza!)
I hope it will be awesome, Like so awesome. With shipping, it cost me a huge $70
This is the last good soaker I buy this year
