The photo thread
 

Put the photo(s) that you are the most proudest of here! I will start with the lizard I shot last week in Delft in Reptile Zoo Serpo:

One of my favourite pictures from last summer.

Is it your cat, Jelena?

It's awesome! I believe it's a she, by the way, so I'm going to say that she has the cutest ears :)

She looks very young and playfull. Beautiful shot!

No, friends of us has a cat which got kittens last summer and this is one of them. It's a he btw. He now lives a comfy life on the west coast with a retired couple. He is indeed awesome.
Thank you. :)
I wanted to keep him so bad, but the rest of the family doesn't agree with me on having a cat. :frown:

Those are great. I'm not the camera person in the family Mrs.R is.http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3100/...5752cf5b_b.jpg Here is a pic she took before we left KY

That's a thing of beauty, rlpw. So crisp. You've got a great photo there too, Jelena. I'm sorry you couldn't keep the critter. (I think I've got more photos of my cats than I have of people. Hmmm, does that make me a crazy cat person? :D)

This was taken on the London Eye early last year. Probably not the most original subject and composition, but I kind of like it...

Here's an alternate shot. I can't decide which one I like better...

tsa: I would complement your photo too, but I've got an irrational fear of lizards. ;) The colours are incredible, though.

Thanks! Finally someone who says something about my picture. I will post another one soon, with no reptiles on it.

Edit: I like the first picture you posted most, D.C. It's more dynamic than the second one; you see the people in the pod next to yours enthousiastically walking around, pointing, and deciding what is the most interesting thing to look at. How high is that thing anyway? It looks like you can see the curvature of the Earth from up there!

Ouch, sorry tsa! I looked at it and thought it was beautiful, but forgot tell you.

rlpw
That's beautiful!
DC
I also like the first picture best for the same reasons tsa mentioned.
Also, magnificent view.

That's a very vivid shot, tsa.

I like that shot of the cat. Very sweet, Jelena.

I'm a great fan of lovely winterscape photos, rlpw. Your wife has a good eye.

And I'm with the majority, DC. The first shot is more dynamic, which translates as 'more interesting'. Nice work.

Sorry, I don't have any particularly good photos on my computer right now. Lots of bog standard stuff, but nothing noteworthy.

tsa, I said anything because, like D.C., I abhor lizards and such.

D.C.: beautiful pictures. I love London and you captured it well!

Thanks for the kind words. After considering it some more I think you guys are right, the first one is more interesting. I think I liked the framing of the London Eye against the backdrop in the second one, but the first is just a generally stronger picture.

Andrea: I'm glad I'm not the only one with the severe Lizard phobia. ;)

tsa: Hmmm, the official website says it's 135 metres. Greatest view in London, though. (Although a local probably knows somewhere better and less expensive. :)) Can't wait to see what else you've got, seems you're quite the photographer. :D

I took a photography class at Uni in '06. This was the first time I actually got my hands on a really nice camera, instead of just a standard digital one. Unfortunately I only had it booked for two days, so didn't have nearly enough time to learn it properly.

I kinda like this shot. It's an old bridge near where I live. Back in the day it used to be the only way to get to the other side. (Now there's two modern multi-lane bridges, which you can't see...) It kind of reminds me of another time. People fish off the side now and it's closed for cars. Very flimsy and scary to walk across. ;) I was going to submit it with washed out, faded colours but ended up just submitting this instead. (I can show you guys the photoshopped version if you're interested, but I don't want to be that guy who posts two versions of the same picture every time. :D)

Yeah I love taking pictures. That's why I started the thread. Glad to see it being picked up by others.

Here´s a photo I took when I was in Thailand a few weeks ago (more about that later on)

That's beautiful Tobbe. I love pictures like this. Very nice.

Thanks alot! :)
Here´s another one, also from the Thailand trip:

http://archive.pixbox.se/arkivet/syn...0/26009869.jpg

That one is not as good as the first one IMO. What is it that you wanted to show on that picture?

Hmmm...Don´t really know what I wanted to show, just thought the garden there was so nice, and the old "cart" looked nice...

I took this one years ago and I still like it.

A really nice picture Lena! :)

Speaking of cats, here´s two of my favourite photos I took of a cat, also on the Thailand trip:

The colours are amazing and the texture of the feathers look so smooth. I also like the way the drops of water look like tiny pearls on the back of the bird.

Awww, I want that cat!

Exactly. I also like the blurry background. In my garden, wherever you poinjt your camera the background is super uglu so it'd better be as blurry as possible.

And Tobbe, I like the second shot of that cat best. The way it looks into the lens is very professional.

That cat is amazing (I'm tapping the ears of my cat, otherwise she'll be jealous) :D

And tsa, that photo is amazing in every respect: color, atmosphere, subject (the way it turns gives a great sense of movement and direction). You are very talented.

Oh, man. There's some impressive photos in this thread! Keep 'em coming.

(Here's the alternate, photoshopped version of that bridge picture I posted earlier, btw.)

Not like rlpw's shot into the branches but it's proved popular in the blog thread

Snowing at the chapel

Love the animal shots. All so clear.

Step that is so pretty..... it is breath taking. :9~

Well, here's just (random) one I took last fall. I'll see about posting some more pics once I find a host that I like...

Works a bit better when it's in its original large size

It is pretty hard to pick but here is my effort!

Keep in mind I don't edit my photos, doesn't feel right to do so (for me at least)
Sorry about the big sizes

Wow what an awesome picture, simply beautiful :)!!

Yours are pretty good too. I also don't edit my photos. If it doesn't come out of the camera right, it's not a good picture. I only change colors every now and then if the camera couldn't capture the colors right, and I treat red eyes when I feel like it.

Thank You! but I am very envious over that picture of yours. I try to take pictures that represent all weather effects and seasons but I am a bit lacking with decent rain/snow footages (if any at all). It's also easier to do it on a brighter day :P!

Well not that people aren't talented at editing either but it doesn't make photography as "real" as the old days where they did not even have the same tools to fix things with. This thread better keep getting pictures! :)

I will post a new picture soon. I took some very nice ones yesterday in a museum here in Enschede. Thanks for the compliment Mike!

Yesterday I took this one:

It was taken in a museum that shows the development of the region I live in from the last Ice Age until now. Really nice museum, both architecturally(?) and content-wise. If you click on the picture you will find more pictures taken in the museum.

Brilliant tsa!

kitties are just awesomesauce!

great pics tsa :D

The photo is really great, tsa! Mesmerizing!

Wow very impressive Tsa :)!
Sounds like an interesting museum and the colours very captivating..

Thanks you all!
Who will post the next picture?

I'm trying to post family pics but the files are to big :frown:

Matt is working on making them smaller.... but it might be a while :shifty:
