I wouldn’t mind it, I guess. Not sure when or if I’ll post there, but I do take pictures every now and then.

Prnounced Stylo? Crossylo? X-ey-low?

Like xylophone, only without the “phone.” It’s short for Xyl0c41n3 (xylocaine), though I haven’t really used that in a while.

You’re in, hon! Long time no see. You should stop by the chat sometime.

Xylocaine, like the stuff the dentist gives you before he drills a hole in your tooth?

I’m Lumpy based purely on my last name and 44 since that and 21 were my hockey numbers

Yeah, exactly like that. I liked the way the word sounded, and I figured no one else would have it so I wouldn’t have to be Username289371736, heh.

Is it okay if most of my pictures are taken with an iPhone and not a DSLR?

Am I allowed?

Xyl0c41n3 > Nibby 05/13/2015 at 10:05

Of course! Welcome to photography. I think you'll find people will enjoy your digital manipulations here.

Xyl0c41n3 > deprecated account 05/13/2015 at 10:06

Not a problem at all. I'm a pro, and still do a lot of iPhoneography. Welcome! You're all set.

Thanks! Just posted in there.

I’ve had authorship for a while but haven’t really been on the blog a ton. I will endeavor to get on there more and take more photos!

I’d be down. I love photography and collect old cameras as well. I’ve been doing tons and tons of film work lately but also shoot digital here and there as well.

I love abandoned stuff but try to avoid the usual cliches of crusty old chairs and whatnot.

I also enjoy outdoorsy things.

And various other stuff.

I also develop all my own film, so there’s that.

So that’s what I do. Between work and my (too many) hobbies I stay pretty busy, so I can’t promise I’d be able to write a ton though.

Some thing new my name is 13 and I love all types of photography. My IG tag is rocean13 if anyone's intrested. I use a iPhone Dslr hand held scanner anything that captures light basically. Oh and digital microscopes.

I’m not sure I’d post a lot, but I’m trying to expand my skills, and I’ll definitely be there regularly checking out others’ work for hints and ideas.

I’d love to give this a go on OPPO. My name is Kevin (28 yaears old, California). Even as a mechanic I find it hard to just run into “car guys” so I’ve taken to this. A few years ago I started taking armature photos and despite it being a cheap hobby for me I think I’ve actually gotten quite good at it. My automotive knowledge mostly comes from books and my own experiences. I find it difficult when people cut and paste Wiki articles and wind up sounding as enthusiastic as a ham sandwich. I think people need to form there own opinions and let them be heard. There’s more to cars than what 3 British islanders think of them.

I wouldn’t mind hanging out with some fellow photography enthusiasts. I hail from Oppo, but mainly I enjoy shooting landscapes and weather. If pretty much anything happens to catch my eye though, I’ll try to shoot it.

Very emphatically in! I loved all of those! That shipwreck is pretty nice. I used to develop film, too. Still have my darkroom, but haven’t used it in ages.

I wish I had a darkroom, and I hope to build one someday. Right now I use a changing bag and my utility sink, and a digital film scanner/printing service to make prints.

In! I do lots of iPhoneography, too. Have you looked into Snapseed for editing? It’s pretty fantastic.

Xyl0c41n3 > Blue2010SRT 05/13/2015 at 10:59

Ahhhh! I love that first one with all the graffiti, and the drag racing one! You are in, sir! Have fun!

Hi! Just to clarify, Photography is not part of Oppo, it is a standalone sub-blog founded by Ernie, from Gawker Media tech. I just shared the post to Oppo. Automotive photography is more definitely welcome here, and indeed, many of our members (and moderators) are Opponauts. Would you still like in?

Xyl0c41n3 > FastIndy 05/13/2015 at 11:03

I love everything you’ve just posted! As a Texan, I’m a sucker for big sky country, too. Lovely! You’re in!

Why not. I’m sorry I was reading that Oppo was looking for authors and your Photography post popped up on LiLD . I though Oppo was only automotive related. Or is this being sent ot all blogs?

Jonathan Harper > Xyl0c41n3 05/13/2015 at 11:14

Yes I like this place.

Xyl0c41n3 > forgeryfade 05/13/2015 at 11:18

Ha! Sorry about the confusion. I’m an admin on Photography and an author on Oppo. I wrote the post on Photography, then shared it to Oppo (and a couple of other blogs I’m an author on). One of the LiLD authors then shared it to LiLD.

As far as Oppo is concerned, Oppo is automotive related, but it’s also an off-topic blog. For more information, feel free to check out the OppositeLock handbook, which can be found here . More rules of the road can be found here .

Also, if you’re looking for authorship on Oppo, the latest Club Openings post can be found here .

Lastly, you’re all set to post on Photography. Welcome!

I use either photoshop or iPhoto depending on how lazy I am, but I’ll look it up. Thanks!

Oops, my fault! FlowerGirl posted this on Oppo this morning and then I shared it to LaLD from there. Post a comment Here to apply for Oppo authorship

I use photoshop professionally, but I can tinker away forever on Snapseed. There are also a couple of fairly decent photoshop mimics for iphone. I like Photogene and ArtStudio. And again, welcome!

Nice light painting. You are in, sir! Welcome! I’ve always loved seeing your photos on Oppo. :)

Thank you. Sorry couldn’t see the tree through all the branches. I certainly need to figure this out because now this is shared on LiLD and I certainly didn’t intend for that.

Lol I’m not awake enough for all this. Think I’ll go to work now a little deflated.

Don’t let it. She was just a Cobra II. Still hurts to look at. There were two other Cobra II’s locked up with her.

Hey! I meant to reply to this the other day. Not sure how often I’d post on here, but I love photography and have been doing it since high school. Used to use a manual camera and develop my own film, but these days I admit to only really using my iPhone (was a 4, now 6 plus). I enjoy it and would love to share.

I don’t have many photos on my iPhone right now, but here’s one of mine taken with my iPhone 4 (above).

Xyl0c41n3 > mXxxxXm24 /O/ /O/ 05/17/2015 at 18:21

Heh. I shoot with my iPhone all the time, and I’ve usually got at least one DSLR or SLR sitting next to me at all times. It’s the immediacy of being able to shoot with something so portable, do complex editing on the same device, and then share it anywhere.

You're in, by the way. Welcome to Photography!

Cool! And yeah I love/hate the iPhone for its convenience lol.

You are an interesting character on here and we are concerned about some of the same things and I get nervous putting too much on a board.
