Pictures

Thank you.

I was thinking that we could have a thread for nice or interesting pictures.

As an example, last night while driving home from my rehearsal I saw the moon in a redish color that caught my attention. Once I got home I pulled my camera (Dimage Z5) and took a few pictures of it. Sadly it was more yellowish by the time I took them but still nice, I think (perhaps a bit overexposed?). For the inclined these are the specs: ASA100, F4.5, 1/10s (with a tiny tripod and temporizer).

Hi Anon,

I fixed part of the problem with zoomgallery by upgrading to RC3.  I added your picture to the nature gallery as a test.  I hope you don't mind.  If anybody is interested in putting there pictures in any gallery here just give it a try.  Unfortunately I can't seem to upload with FireFox but IE6 works. *sigh*

I made a new gallery for pets.  I put your cats in there Bob.  Hope that's okay.

That's fine - if you want to delete the originals (above) and put a link to the gallery instead, that's okay too.

If I wasn't so lazy I would.

My kitty hath no pics on my flash drive, but more then enough on my dA.

A few of my new one. Afraid they're all a little blurry, since my prescription on my glasses is wearing out, but I like them anyway.

Wow... Kanaloa, you take amazing photos.   

Here are a few old ones of mine:

Indoor go-kart race... around 2005, I think:


Long exposure stars from a camping trip in... 2000, I think:


Dario Franchitti at the Toronto Molson Indy:


The 2003 Black Bear Rally in Dorset, Ontario:


Karter at a club race in Waterloo, Ontario, in 2003:



I didn't realized it when I chose the photos, but they've all got sort of a "swooshy" feeling to them, don't they?

Edit

Here's one more - it was my first real attempt at monkeying with a print in the darkroom:


When the photo was taken, the lighting was really varied, so I had to dodge and burn the print to get the person and the water to all turn out properly.

Thank you! I hated dodging and burning when I took photo. And I like the swooshy feeling, very nice.

More things I played with. Just color and saturation, though. And contrast, too, I think.

Here's a couple taken about twenty minutes apart. They both have, to me, a feeling of incredible peacefulness.
The more I look at this seagull one, the better I like it...

I've moved the discussion of seagulls which used to follow this post into 'Miscellaneous Discussion' under the Topic 'Seagulls'.

[Scriblerus the Philosophe]

Nice pictures. I really like that second one. Very peaceful.

Here are more of mione, from a bird watching expidition with my mother to a local ponding basin.
Those are buffleheads, according to my mother, and the other two are an egret and a night heron, respectively.


I got a little trigger happy afterwards.

Here's another. Taken by my daughter, processed by me...

Hmm... the right side is getting cut off.  A question to those of you who have posted thumbnails that expand when you click them: how do you do that?

Edit: added some links so you can see them non-cropped.
