Photography-thread

Recommended Posts

Is anyone of you interested in photography too? I have an average interest in photography myself and every now and then I try to make some pretty shots. I don't know that much about specs and the technical side, but I think I know what a pretty picture is about.

I made some pictures in a forrest the other day and I've added a little more color in Photoshop for a more dramatic Autumn-effect.

Picture 1.
Picture 2.
Picture 3.
Picture 4.

If any of you have some nice pictures, feel free to show them off here.

Your digital enhancement skills are not enough. Try something like this instead.

That's pretty cool too, although I prefer my own style.
-edit- I think you might be right. Your style is a bit more dramatic, mine look a little more dull and normal.

Imo, these photos are pretty nice - you're good at it I think.
Screw digital enhancements - it's all cheating. :-P

I used to go with the family on vacations to Maine each year to visit grandparents. Portland's a pretty nice place and offers a lot of opportunities to take good pictures. I took most of these 5 or 6 years ago when I didn't really know what I was doing.

I also took this one in front of my house one winter. I had a great opportunity to photograph a perfectly-iced-over bush in front of my house, but unfortunately we had no film other than what was left in my mom's crappy general-purpose camera, so the picture ended up being way out of focus and not worth scanning.

[Url removed - get rid of those p0rn images! Move them to a different directory or something, but move them out of sight!]

warning: dream.jpg and composition.jpg are actually pr0n. The rest are my photos.

None of them are edited. (that's right - not even wall.jpg)

my favourites are:

Get rid of them asap! A warning doesn't prevent people from looking at the porn pics and it does go against this site's policies.

I'm afraid I'm gonna have to kill that link of yours until you've killed the porn images in the directory.

As long as there's no direct link to a porno image or the dir itself I don't see an issue with it.

Afaik, linking to a site with p0rn is as big an offence as linking directly to it - that's the way it is with warez and it would make sense to impose similar restrictions on p0rn, which I'm convinced is the case.

/Me is on the brink of closing this thread to make things easier for himself.

May be, but it's not immediately accessible if it is. I mean, I don't go and visit the linguica directory because I never heard of it until now.
Look, I'm just trying to do my job ok?

The difference with warez is that it's illegal.

Besides, like 99.99% of people here have seen porn every day for teh last year anyway so I'm inclined to only be so restrictive, and not over-the-top.

Here, have some top quality English stately home porn, I am also a keen photographer;

Fine then, if it is indeed as you say then Lament hereby have the permission to repost his link.

But I think I should point out that I have had similar experiences in the past where urls like this one were killed with extreme prejudice and like I pointed out before (but with different words), I'm trying to just carry out my orders, which include:
Kill warez links - direct and indirect, kill p0rn links - direct and indirect, kill links to leaked, illegal material - direct and indirect. At least that's the way I've understood it and my previous observations support thise interpretation.

I personally am no fan of pictures... I really don't think they should be here either.. they aren't inspired by doom.. and they aren't fic or pics. But dsm seems to be allowing it.

Just my two bits.

Okay...despite all the crap, I'm going to stay on topic. I'd just like to add that photography is a hobby of mine as well. I've taken all sorts of little pics, but unfortunately, I have nowhere to host them.

Also, lament, that serene_small picture is awesome. Never saw it before for some reason. Also, I kinda like how the heron is in there yet it's not the main focus of the picture.

You only had to ask!

This is my clay cacodemon, Linguica the Big Flying Fuck. She lost a horn in a battle involving three barons, a rival cacodemon and bad clay.

Just for moaning I'm getting the links to my controversial directory removed.

I prefer Picture 1 a lot, feels completely natural, but lacking of atomsphere of Autumn if that's what it's created for originally.

Heh, picture 1 wasn't photoshopped at all. It was the only picture that didn't need any changes at all, in my opinion. The rest was a little 'normal' looking, so I felt I had to change them.

Just to add my two cents. Nine times out of ten pictures look sexier in black and white. Just a suggestion. There a couple of pictures here that have to be in color for the full effect, but black and white would work well with a number of them.

I sorta like Photography...

Don't ask me, I just felt like messing around and took them one day. I like taking pictures of myself. Not in a big-headed way, but because I change so much so often it's fun to go back and look how much I can change in a years time.

I'm also into photographing my friends and storms lee-laa:

those storm photos are amazingly impressive, especially the first one reminds me a lot of the scenes from Smallville, the episode The Storm :)

Nature pictures are just simply goddess......., I wish I had my camera fixed

Yeah photography can be fun but it's nowhere near the satisfaction of drawing a good image.. IMO the photography get's old real quick.. :/

Sketches and drawings are always intresting to look closer at though.. looking at what kind of brushes were used and whatnot.

/me plans to post some images here soon just for the hell of it..

Pity I barely ever finish any drawings.. always is something that piss me off in them making me loose the intrest in finishing them. I have one atm that is almost finished. but I need to fix it up.. But it's as always with my pics fucked up in one way or several.. ;) so if I were to make it correct (perfect is impossible) I have to edit it with Photoshop. Wich is a pity.

Oops. I strayed off topic there.. :p
