    Actually my good sir, I'm United States Army Infantry, but my mission is providing security for various aid groups from USAID, To Agricultural groups, engineers, I even got to guard a spy :-X investigating human trafficking. It's a cool job that lets me get a real look at what's being done to help this country. A lot of "Teach a man to fish" instead of just giving them money outright. You know? Educate them on how to grow profitable crops without relying on opium that's sold to the Taliban and used to fund terrorism worldwide. Teaching them about construction, irrigation, how to run a government on the smaller scale (district governor and downwards). I like it, and I get to see a side of the world I would have NO way to see otherwise. It's hard to describe, but the place has it's own hidden beauties.

    Nah, Some of it's actually cool to see. I'm no rigthwingedfag. I'm not some republican nut job trying to win over the masses. A lot of the people here actually want us here. Even more NEED help.

    A lot of people will "fight the good fight" from behind a computer screen and bash what they HEAR is going on over here... I understand there's more than just the motive of helping people out here. I understand as a government, America uses some shady tactics to get what it wants. But day after day after day, I see young girls going to school for the first time, women not afraid to go outside without veils on, I mean this place was SO oppressed under Taliban rule, it's sick. Did you know Instruments and music were ILLEGAL under Taliban law?

    Things like THIS happened all the time? http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,2007269,00.html

    The things that are going on over here are genuinely good, and will continue when the main Army presence pulls out. It's something unreal to see a kid burst into tears over some crayons and a coloring book.

    Or when I was talking to a Afghan that was sharing a tower guard shift with me, He wanted to show me how proud of his knife he was.... It was old. Beat, rusted, Deff hand me down.... I gave him my CRKT Ti Folder.. The guy cried for a good 5 minutes in joy then sat in the back of the tower playing with it for a good hour. This guy (even with his sweet on base job) Has nothing, He told me about his family, and what he was risking by working with Americans but he knew we were there to help And with Nothing... He came back the next day with all these rings (albeit cheap gold) Rings that had been in his family for years and reffuuussseed to let me leave until I took one in return. The people here are amazing. With more heart than most of the people you'll meet in America.

    /rant
    Tl;dr Afghan is pretty cool guy, gives ring, eh doesn't afraid of anything

    He also digs American guns more than AK's

    Nobody's asking you to go outside in your panties. Put on some clothing, walk the 2 feet, frame and take a nice picture, and then go back inside.

    You probably spent hundreds of dollars on your camera gear - if it's a DSLR you possibly spent thousands in total - the least you can do is step outside your front door for 5 minutes while wearing several warm layers.

    I started shooting almost 8 years ago, I have enough pictures of my front yard. Have you ever been outside when it's zero? Do you know what a wind chill of negative 30 feels like? It's bad enough having to run to my car from my front door in the morning, I'm not going to deliberately stand outside in subarctic temperatures to take stupid pictures that I've taken a thousand times before because some dingleberry on 4chan told me to.

    See now you're dodging the original issue.

    First you complained that it was too cold. Now it's not that it's too cold, but that you've done it countless times now and you refuse to do it again.

    Go get several layers. Put them on. Go somewhere. If you're so adamant that you've photographed the area outside your house in every conceivable creative way, then go further away and shoot something else.

    The point of this challenge obviously seems to be to fight anon's tendency to be lazy, but you're arguing with this challenge on the grounds that you're lazy.

    I'm beginning to wonder if you might be a total troll. I mean why would you post in this thread at all if you're too lazy to redeem yourself on one night by taking one photo right outside your house? Why would you announce your non-participation unless it was to get someone to berate you for your particularly unpersuasive reason?

    >> Anonymous 01/24/11(Mon)10:58 No.1149282
    >>1149281
    It really depends on where you are. If there are streetlights, you can get away with shooting at relatively high shutter speeds.

    My advice, assuming you're not that lazy idiot who keeps bitching about the cold, is to go out at like 10 PM and take a bunch of photos of different exposure. Then go home and look at the shots and see which ones you really like exposure-wise. Then go out and shoot around that exposure setting (assuming the light level is about the same).

    But that's a lot more work than it needs to be. If you have a DSLR, just "chimp" - ie just take a photo, see how it turns out, then adjust settings. If you have a tripod, you can go to pretty much whatever shutter speed you want, so I'd shoot at like f/8 or f/11 and ISO 100 and just let the shutter speed go on for a minute or longer if it's really very very dark.

    You're an idiot. It's too cold to do something that has literally zero intrinsic value for me whatsoever. If I was somewhere I had never been before and it was zero, I would bundle up and venture out to take some pictures, but I'm not. I'm at my house. Why was that so hard for you to understand?
    >> Anonymous 01/24/11(Mon)11:07 No.1149286
    >>1149283
    It's hard for me to understand for 2 reasons:

    1) You can take a photo from nearly infinite points of view using nearly infinite exposure settings and techniques. This notion that you've already taken all those photos just speaks to your own lack of laziness, which is ironic because the whole point of this challenge seems to be to get you off your ass which you're militantly opposed to doing.

    2) I'm not understanding why you posted anything at all. Why did you bother to bitch about not taking part in this unless you wanted someone to know that you were just a lazy whiny bitch? Because your reason for not doing it seems to be made up of two components:

    Holy shit why does this bother you so much? Why have you taken up the crusade of vehemently opposing my simple one-line comment on how it's too cold up here for me to want to take pictures? Was your mother killed right outside your house by zero degree weather 10 years ago and it absolutely eats away at your soul every single day knowing you could have saved her if you had just manned up and braved the cold for 10 seconds to go bring her in?

    Look, you decided to pointlessly jump into this thread to tell everyone that you were taking no part in the challenge. I called you lazy and you got all defensive and bitchy.

    There's not a whole lot of psychological subtlety behind this. You're a lazy bitch, I'm trying to figure out how your laziness and your eagerness to tell us all about it coexist in your head.

    Op here, just completed the challenge, i came up with the challenge as something to do on a regular basis, eg explore new places at 3am.
    Ok so, i snuck out of house with no issues, start wandering down street, freaked out as shit. about 15 minutes later im calm and happy wandering down on the road, zero cars and sidewalk freaks the shit out of me. It's a overcast 'muggy' summer night (ausfag) and the whole neighbourhood is completely quiet.
    I took a few photos, not many. Everything looked the same, street lights, dark shadows and trees.
    I might do this again in a few days, maybe goto the local skate bowl and take some eerie night shots.
    I think this challenge has turned out for me, not to be about challenging my photography skills, but taking the leap to going out into a unfamiliar enviroment and try to make art out of it.
    Anyway heres probably the best shot i got, hopefully some tweaking and processing can make it into something.

    Yay for the 3am challenge!

    let me get this straight.

    you went out in front of your suburban house alone at a somewhat late hour.. and this was enough to almost make you shit yourself? then you manged to muster all your courage and strength in order to set your tripod down in the middle of the road (again, with nobody around) and release the shutter.. then you make the disgusting product of your night out on the town your wallpaper..

    Please remind me again why it is so important to use lowest possible ISO for night shots. Why not just take a f/1.4 lens, crank the ISO to 1600 and shoot handheld? Saves you from lugging around a tripod.

    Very little depth of field
    Ridiculous noise
    Sometimes you still need some stabilization anyway (if the scene is really very dark), and if you're going to need a tripod at f/1.4 and ISO 1600 then you might as well stop down to get more DOF and lower the ISO to get less noise - that is, as long as the scene is relatively still.

    Where do I go? Countryside (would probably have to use my car's headlights for light, that could be cool), or Paris?

    Neat trick: the bottom of your camera is flat. You don't need a tripod for perfect image stabilization. Just find something flat and waist-high.

    Lower ISO means better image quality. If you have to sacrifice something to properly expose a night shot, always try to make it shutter speed.

    Hm. It'll be 3am in two hours. I guess I could go out and shoot a roll of... uh... Delta 3200 or Neopan 1600? Never actually used either of those before. The rolls I have were given to me months and months ago. But everything else I have is 100 or 200 speed, which I doubt would be very useful in the dark.
