I didn’t see any so I thought I’d start a thread to post you favorite pictures you’ve taken. I’ll start. Some moss on a rock in an oasis in the desert.
I like this one, of Zack Baldwin atop Mt. Diablo, in 2004.
Here’s a classic. From the early days of my first digial camera, in early 2000. That’s Beau Hoover and David Poznanter, again on the slopes of Mt. Diablo.
This could turn into a really good thread with a huge post count.
I like this picture on several levels.
photos and sketches
No unis in my collection but here are some of my photos and sketches.
And assorted photos of me in mostly other pursuits.
Like I said in another thread, patmoore!
You are obviously a “master of many trades”!
(More so than I realized when I said it the first time!!)
Two of my favorites from my trip to DC last summer…
Spiral staircase inside the Supreme Court:
Iwo Jima Memorial:
Austin, those are terrific shots!
This one recently was voted Photo of the Week at BytePhoto.com
My secret is out - once in a while I ride a two-wheeler. But no hands!
Probably the only shot I’ve taken that I’m pleased with.
I took it over twenty years ago as part of my photography course.
It’s taken from the far point and underside of the end of Mumbles Pier, looking backwards towards the coast.
Actually, I preferred the one on your web site that was taken from under the handlebars; with the cables zooming through the picture.
Some lightning from a monsoon nearby a couple nights ago.
Not the best but it was really lighting up and it’s so fun.
“The light at the end of the tunnel”
For all the realists and obviously intellectually enlightened : )
A picture I took from a washroom aboard a steam train
I really like the last one as the cloud looks like an angry face puking out the lightning.
Here’s one of my favourites I took in South-Africa around easter this year:
How do you know how much “shining” gets the right exposure?
I also loved the third one. The monster is licking the sky with an electric tongue! What was your setup for those? What kind of exposre times?
Remind me not to eat off those tracks…
That would be this one. I was riding along a bike path in Rhode Island when I took that shot. Wish I had been on a uni. It was a wonderful place to ride.
Graveyard Of The Giants
From a hike along the coast of Washington. I need to go back. The formations are referred to as Graveyard of the Giants.
I just put my camera on a tripod and set the shutter speed for as long as it would go, the ISO for 100 or 80 and the F-stop for 8.0 (some cameras have a shutter speed setting called BULB. This allows you to hold the shutter open as long as you want.
Trial and error, but mostly the fact that the max’ exposure on my little point and shoot is only 16 seconds so it doesn’t give much time to shine light. But it’s fun, you should try it.
