I like scenery and nature, which is why most of the horizontal shots are here. Some of them are just pictures that are "fun to look at" for me. I've never pursued photography as anything more than an idle hobby, so getting feedback about how I compose pictures is always helpful. Apparently I call the cops when I see people litter. |

I don't think i will be printing off a copy to give to my boss just yet. I think brown nosing isn't looked at to kindly around here. Maybe when i leave this job i will do a nice montage with some of the better shots. On the afternoon i went out to take these shots, it was just gorgeous. I only had one afternoon available to shoot as much as i could. It's a great place to shoot though, with massive equipment and the really nice landscape. The mine is surrounded by hills, so it was easy to get in a 4WD and look for a nice place to take the photos. I'll try and post some more as soon as i get back on my normal computer. |

I liked the moon in this shot, though I wish it were a little bigger. |

ShadowOfGed, your last photo: those are Peter Werth moccasins! I had a pair of those a few years ago, right down to the colour. 'Course I didn't ruin them by tucking awful blue jeans under the tongue. WHY do people do that?! Number one rule for wearing trousers, any trousers, with shoes, any shoes: let the leg fall over the top of the shoe. Else you look like an ungainly clown. While you're at it, make sure the colour of the socks matches the trousers, not the shoes: the goal is elegance, not big-foot. The guy in the photo has also decided to fold up half the leg... (No offence if this is your best friend, by the way.)
Phoenix, I like your third shot best; love the back-lit dust streaming off the truck's back. The golden light and golden dust is also very appropriate for a gold mine. Nice shot. julesstoop, your shooting is good enough to deserve a better camera with lower noise, sort it out man! … engrossed in such factional acts as dreaming different dreams. |

I took this picture last christmas morning and uploaded it yesterday to my flickr stream. It's currently in the flickr explore 500:

I have no idea why I like this shot so much but I do. The original photo was quite a bit larger so I cropped it down a bunch and the resolution isn't great because of that. But I actually like the graininess in the shot. I'm taking a photography class now and we're working on composition. Any comments?

This is one of the first pictures I've ever taken with my new D80. Which is the first camera I've ever owned. Last edited by Artap99 : 2007-01-31 at 23:38. Reason: Stupidity |

http://web.mac.com/kellyteam/iWeb/To...%20PHT135.html So click on the image and see my portfolio I just submitted for my class. It was a bit more of a pain than normal for me to shoot this time. I was "under the weather" for the first week of the portfolio which really limited me going outside in the freezing windy cold weather. Can you believe the instructor wanted me to get up for a sunrise shot?!? I did, but it was tough. Quote:

turtle2472, your tower photos are a bit like colour versions of the 1920s stuff when photographers were just getting used to the new Art Deco skyscrapers (Empire State Building, etc.) that were springing up, and therefore taking lots of photos of them. You've got a funky colour look going on in the one you posted to this thread: is that just the early sunshine or a bit of PS? I like the palette, reminds me a little of early Ektachrome that's starting to fade a bit.
What do you think of this guy's photos? He starts off with a great idea, decently executed (her eye is just starting to close, instinctively ), and then it sort of peters into a studenty, badly-edited collection of photos, a few of which are excellent and many of which show real talent. Just a young photographer whose stuff I came across a couple of days ago. … engrossed in such factional acts as dreaming different dreams. |

As for my tower, it was taken at sunset. The shadow line just above the concrete and below the yellow stuff is created by the sun being pretty close to the horizon already. It just so happens that that wall faces mostly west. No PS in post production, just a touch of sharpening. Thanks for asking.

I was going back through the thread enjoying at the shared images and noticed I haven't really commented on any of your shots yet. I have enjoyed everyone of them and I really like this one too. I have seen your Flickr shots too and I really do like your work. Keep it up!

A still life I shot last semester that I rather like. The pieces came from Greece and the board from Turkey. |

Further to this thread, has anyone started having a go with Panoramio? It's a twist on the Flickr thing, but with a tie-in to Google Earth. I think it's a very interesting way of showcasing pictures of the world.
Anyway, here's me: http://www.panoramio.com/user/164573 |

Manually placed. Nice way to remember where, exactly, you have been. I think if your camera supports Geotagging then it'll work with that, but it has a pretty simple interface to place the markers. I'm a little anal about placing the marker exactly where I stood while I took the photo, including zooming right in.
