Oh sh*t, that's probably the best picture in here yet, imo. I love it, the sense of depth, the colors... everything, it's great!

[Edmachine]

is that a mushroom ? you should macro on it, it is better and looks cool

No, it is a rock . A little, black rock. And, I've never seen black mushrooms. Maybe only old ones .

Edmachine, try getting more shots that show where you are. Right now all I see is close-ups, (and no offense, but they're just not that interesting). Try taking photos of things that can excite the eyes, like lets say since you're at the seashore, you could get a shot of some waves crashing. I can't really say what you should get, just try to think about what you're looking at and if you can make it look exciting through photography.

[Edmachine]

Well, there weren't any big waves, or any taller than my ankle. I did take some photos of the sea itself though, so it's not all close-ups.

 

Right now, I'm looking outside the window. Blue sky, sunset (almost over), and I see a tree. Would look beautiful if I'd take a pic of it, but there are the damn phone lines!

One of my wife's friends in makeup obviously.

I actually drove past it coming back home from our Disneyland trip but I forgot how to pronounce it. Zasks or something

[-maddog-]

 

And not in the game, but would have been kick-ass if it was

 

 

Love huge manmade stuff like that, did a search on flickr and found more shots of that hole, imagine getting sucked into it

It's not actually that great a photo. The sense of depth you speak of is not really there and sky is overexposed. I do like the buildings though, reminds me of Bond.

 

Candarelli, thank you.

[Picolini]

You're just jealous Jigga

 

Anywhoooo, got some lenses. It was like $150 for both, so don't go telling me I bought cheap lenses, I know.

They are a Tamron 28-80mm and a Tamron 75-300mm. The zoom distance on the 75-300 is damn good, imo. The only bad part is my shaky hands

 

Here they are...

 

Can't wait to see how they work.

[Saget]

Saget is back from trip. EXPECT PHOTOS SOON.

[uNi]

Nice photos Gareth, especially the first one.

[raresh_r]

 

this image makes me regret that i bought a super zoom digital camera and not a SLR. but if i look how expensive the lenses are, i'm happy with my camera.

 

photos soon from me two. over 1000 photos and over 3gb made in the Casino.

Spooky stuff around there.

[Picolini]

@raresh, the interchangeable lenses are a huge plus for SLR's. They can be expensive, but like I said, I only paid $150 for them.

During testing, I found they are slow (both actually, surprised the 28-80 is) at autofocusing, and the 28-80 is actually louder. It had a hard time focusing close up, I'm hoping there's noting wrong with it...

But the pictures come out just as good, if not better than my 18-55mm Canon kit lens. So I'm happy.

 

@Saget, sounds good

[-maddog-]

 

Saget is back from trip. EXPECT PHOTOS SOON.

Hurry up!

 

Edit: some woman ran her car off the road yesterday.. No injuries

 

And some guy wrecked his Audi on sunday, btw that's my new car behind the police car

Tons of photos, and I'm not even showing you all of them.

 

This one is too large and I lost the thumbnail: but it's still funny.

 

Edit: NOOO, FLOOD CONTROL!!

Part 2 is coming as soon as the forum lets me post again.

[Jonny_Tightlips]

edit: Whoops, wrong photo.

 

 

Mmmm, i like.

Ahem, as I was saying...

 

 

And that was my trip for you.

 

Saget loves airplanes, and airports.

 

@Zak.: That is one of my favorites too x)

Awesome shots maddog, nicely done! Glad no one was hurt there.

 

@Saget, nice pictures. That last one with the plane window frame is excellent, as well as the jet engine one, and the one of the entire city from the air is nuts. Where is that?

 

I've got some shots to post of the snow this morning. For those not in the US, we've been getting hit HARD in the mid-west the past week or so. Today was pretty harsh. I'll try and get them up ASAP.

 

@Doink, wtf?

That happens to be your 1337th post.

 

Great photos folks, love that plane window one Saget.

 

Lol, maddog. I can imagine the scene. You're driving along and you see the Audi. You pull over, get your stuff out and go up to the panicking guy. "Can I take a picture of your car?"

 

He stares at you.

Ah, I see.

 

@ the scenario with maddog, that's what I was thinking! I'm sure the guy who crashes was thinking "you motherf*cker, enjoy your pictures..." or something

[uNi]

Some great views you got there Saget, didn't have the change to fly yet.

[raresh_r]

omg more than 4GB of photos i've been made to the casino and i'm not finished i have to do the exterior and the basement (it is full of small, dark rooms )

 

[raresh_r]

in the 2nd one ZOMG is me

[-maddog-]

Saget: gotta admit i have a crush on planes myself, now that you brought it up, tomorrow ill go shoot some planes at an airport near me. Haven't taken that many airplane photos, shot a airshow 2 years ago, and always snap some shots when out travelling. But ill try to get some nice pictures tomorrow!

[Jigga]

 

raresh, try to get closer to your subject.

[raresh_r]

today i haven't made much photos at "work" because the workers ware cutting some walls in the basement (that is the remaining part of the building) and i have discover that i've lost my tripod head and i can't use the tripod no more but i need a simple small tripod so i can "repair" it because i can't buy just that part.

this work makes me lost my "art" part

lol last one has a bad "frame" not good place to take the pic ... and the wave is BIG OMG. the big concrete thing is a ww2 bunker, you can find those all over the city
