Nice Photos.

Posted by: u5227470736789439 on 27 February 2008

Most of us have taken one or two nice photos.

Here is my candidate as being almost quite good. In fact it is two painstakingly joined.

Taken up in the mountain at Skurdalsvatn in 2000.

Though this one takien in Warsaw in November 2006 is not bad:

I know there are several good photgraphers here, and it would be nice to see some of you best efforts if you feel inclined to share!

I do not post my photographs because I am living proof that you don't have to be gifted yourself to appreciate the gift in others! However, as this is the second time you have asked that question I'll see if I can't put something together in the not too distant future. If nothing else it will be an enjoyable stress reliever.

Cheers

There's someone here, I think from looking at their pics, that uses 50mm on everything and it's a shame because they are all seriously lacking drama and perspective. It's a very specialised focal length and should be used very rarely, like the square format! You should learn when to use it and that's all part of the skill in photography.

The 35 f1.4 is a wonderful "standard" lens that stays on the camera. It will draw you (physically) into the subject, whilst the f1.4 will isolate it beautifully. It's one lens that will force you to take better pics.

The 14-24 f2.8 is a pain regarding filter size, but the optics are superb and the range allows for shots previously unattainable.

I have found all modern Nikkors better than the older equivalents.

All these rules! Who makes them up?

And there was me, naively thinking this was a fun thread where enthusiastic amateurs shared their pics - a lot of them very good.

Fun thread - yes !

Enthusiasts - Yes

Amateurs - What ? me - yes. The rest of you - bloody hell, if you are amateurs then I wouldn't like to meet the professionals !!

Cheers

I think you might need more than a NAIT into it? GD's idea of a compact stage rig.

Early prototype SBLs?

Shouldn't that be in System pics?

So much for the single-speaker demonstration philosophy !

I liked the 'brassed off' looking dog. Slight editing in an effort to give an old film look. Right click on image and select 'open in new tab' to see a larger version.

forget the brassed off look - i would be more concerned at the "overfed" look of the dog

clearly its owner is making enough money to feed the dog very well !!

Funnily enough, I heard an interview with a homeless person a few weeks back just before Christmas and he reckons he averaged £200 pw begging...Not sure I'd like to give it a go though.

Yes, but is the guy in the photo begging, or selling his artwork ( or both).

Agreed, would not like to have to resort to begging.

One of the social problemsknw appears to be orchestrated begging, with people being "bused" around different locations to get max money, being handed back to a " handler"
