Agreed; nice place, Lake Taupo.

Queenstown.

Wow, UniverseZero, loving that landscape.

Where is that?

I've been taking pictures for a while, but I've lost some of them and a lot are awful, but here's one you guys might like. Kinda big, so no img tags.

Woah, nice.
Where's the first one?

Love the second one Southpaw.
I don't usually think much of stuff like the first one because the quality of the outcome isn't as much to do with the photographers skill then the quality of the location.
But the second one, that's where composition and lighting and everything come into play and its much mroe down to the photography making something out of nothing.

Thank you. :D

You must also understand I'm a photoshop wizard. The original is a lot less spectacular, so I thought I'd touch it up a bit. Personally I like the outcome, because I think it looks like a photograph rather than a touched-up photograph.

Dogfuck it, I need a camera.

Here.

Crap, you beat me to it. I've decided to take up photography as my profession, and am planning to open a photography services company. Yay! Though, I'm still an ameteur, Apparently, I'm getting better. These are from a while back:









I actually took these with a professional camera that I borrowed from the place I interned at. Am interning at. T he last one is the guy who let me borrow it.

I was using a Nikon F70, with a fairly low shutter-speed, and my scanner was screwy, so they aren't the best quality. Still though! njoy pplz

Amateur my ass.

I'll take that as a compliment. So thanks, it means a lot. In case you were wondering, critique is greatly appreciated.

Here's some more:

Spoon, I love the fact that you use and SLR.
I rarely use mine.

All of them have good composition and lighting.
Only thing is the focus in some of them is out.
I suggest fiddling with the aperture so it suits your preference in terms of distance abit more.
Other then that, they look amazing.

Wow, Limer, that's really good.

The SLR in question isn't equipped with a zoom lens. I know, it sucks. So, I've got to get up close and personal with my subjects.
Sometimes good, sometimes bad. Also, I don't know if you know this, you probably do, but there's a little menu in the viewfinder that tells you how much you should open/close the aperture, focus, shutter-speed, etc. Also, some of the focus glitches were intentional. But I see what you mean. Keep in mind, that was the first time I'd ever touched a professional camera. Well, second. But the first was about, 6 months before that. So, I was mostly experimenting and such.

Some more photos!:





These were all from the same roll(s), so they all suffer the same problems. These were just the good ones. I've got another roll in color, but I let the director of my art class, SeeSaw, look at them, and forgot to take them home. What is SeeSaw you (may, but probably won't) ask? It's... Well, since I suck at descriptions, I'll just link you to the site: Site.. See the bottom photo? Thats me in the buzzcut and hoodie, next to the chick in the blue. My sister is right behind me, but only her head is visible. I took about half of the photos on that site. I know it's not much, but still. Also, in the portfolios section, I did the We the people piece for the GHW commission. But you already knew that, didn't you. There's some really bad pictures of me in there.

Love this one

*revive*

Some off the digital now. Beware, though. It's frickin' HUGE.

Ok, these pics I'm going to show now are pics I've taken yesterday, inside my car, with a fucking Nokia 5300 of my younger brother.

Night Mode and Invert Colors (every but one pic).

I think this is the best one.


This made me remember the OK Computer album cover, from Radiohead. Notice the radio of my car, in the lower part of the pic.






Like the magenta on this one.

And this is the worse, although it looks better on the phone :P


Of course, the pics are grainy because of the quality of the camera.

I'm going to post "real" pics soon, when I upload them from the "real" camera.
