Another newbie over here. y'all have some beautiful work. I just got my Canon 30D before Christmas. Most of my pics revolve around my kiddos but I do have several that don't have them in them.
Fireworks from last July 4th.

A flower—I did burn the edges in photoshop

I called this one camoflauge since this is pretty much what outside looks like around here this time of year.

OKC Bombing Memorial

Memorial Fence

One more—this was taken with my Kokak Z710. It was actually a fluke pic. The grass is that same drab tan but somehow it looked this shade of green when I snapped the pic.

Definitely need to get out and take more pics.

haha, strange, for some reason until now i thought you are a guy... i think it is your username, it somehow sounds male to me...

I get that sometimes. My ex husband family was an old German Family. Raddish farmers so Zraddish.

Very cool. I like night shots. This reminds me of of old b/w horror films. Kind Hungrian or Yougoslavian. God the spelling iis off I need coffee! i haven't had it in almost a week. I hate being sick.

The pictures are really good I really liked the flower.
I need to get out and take more to. I really need to try other types of shots.
Almost like giving myself an assignment of sorts.
I may have posted this one before if so sorry.

great fotos! i like the fireworks... i wanted to take pictures of some this new years, but i ended up going skiing with a friend, so we were in a small village with very few fireworks... i got some pictures but none of them very good, there were just too many breaks between each singular piece of firework, so i couldn't get several on one picture...

very nice...

hm, assignments are a good idea - maybe we should give each other assignments in this thread at some point... though then again, i always need weeks in between taking a picture and having it online so i can post it here...

btw, sorry to hear you are sick... hope you are getting better soon...

 

[Munachi]

btw, here another climbing picture... shame i can't post my favourite ones, but i wouldn't want to post a picture that shows the face of friends of mine, without asking those friends for their consent... and since i don't tell everyone about this forum, it is difficult...

See now I was thinking the same thing about assignments of sorts. So we all can expand and learn new things.
Why so long between pictures?
Me I need to be motivated, if I am not I don't shoot.

Thanks, going to the doc tomorrow maybe they will give me something. I hate going to them, but need to.

It is good shot. I like them dark. I really like night shots.
Ahh yes this forum... None of my friends know I am on this either, and family hell no.
Strange but hard to explain to them, and really I don't feel the need to. And some would flat
out not understand it. I only like some threads others not at all.
Here is another travel pic of course.

where is the picture taken? looks like a very nice place...

the reason i take so long to upload the pictures is that i am strangely obsessive in some aspects... i like to upload them to my flickr account in the order i take them - but at the same time don't like to upload more than a few per day. so if i take a lot of pictures at some point (as i did a while back on a vacation) it means all pictures i take after that kind of go into a cue for upload... strange, i know...

ok, today a view from my window...

Cool church, what setting on Camera are you using?
And the pic is the old city part of Genvoa, Spain. It is a really neat area. My friends were thinking of moving there. Right now they live in Lusanne, on lake Geneva. Which is why I have so many shots of that area.
Nope makes sense. I am kind of anal about organization. So I totally get it. I am back tracking trying now to organize my digital stuff. I still have 20 yrs of slides and paper to go through.

Great pictures, everyone!

Babygirl43, I love the fireworks one. I've been wanting to do that myself, but I've yet to get the chance.

Munachi, the colors in your climber picture are excellent with the contrasting silhouette of the climber.

Webejamn, very interesting subjects in yours, and well taken. You don't get to see any of that around my neck of the woods.

zraddish, your dessert/rock image has put my mind in the gutter. (Lit, a good place to have your mind in the gutter though.) Your assignment idea sounds really interesting. I might be up for something like that.

not sure what you mean with setting? it varies, anyway... and i usually work on all photos on photoshop afterwards too, so sometimes i alter some effects on purpose... Or I make them black and white... like this this one, taken from the TV tower in Berlin...

I like the tracks. They remind of olden days, when times where easier etc... I am not that old to have personally been in them days.
Hmm as for the gutter, ha! as my friends and I are fond of saying hop right into the smut dingy, as we go floating down the gutter. Lots of room to spare.
I like the idea of assignments I need to expand and learn.

Cool I really have thing for b/w pics.
by settings I mean well, when i take pictures I bracket them starting with the auto setting and go from there. It at least gives me an idea of readings. and I do like to change up shutter speed aperture etc.. With digital I can play and delete as needed. And I use photoshop to Cs3 has quite allot of function.

Oh I like this one.
The other is good to, a little flat to me,
I like detail and lost of contrast.
Like the soft background

you mean the setting you put it to on the little weel there at the camera? well i usually use one where i can change either shutter speed or aperture, and the other adapts, or if i want something different than what the camera thinks is logical, where i can change both independently... never use the auto settings anymore, really...

i only have CS2, but that's okay though, though CS3 has afaik some functions i'd like and don't have...

Have I shown you these toads yet?

Sweet, and lush. and I don't like cherries. Nice lighting.

Those are so cute! Nope you haven't posted these before.
I always shoot one in auto or one of the other settings to start with then most often change the aperture. I don't mess with the shutter to much unless I need to. I keep it slow. I like the vivid setting and the b/w setting. I know I can change it to B/w, but so far haven't. I took the trees and the castle shoots in b/w mode. And was happy with them. If I change a shot to b/w I convert lab first then cmyk and then channel mixer if I am going to make print. If no print then rgb and channel mixer.

thanks... yeah i though they are cute, too...

well sometimes I take the same shot with different aperture or shutter speeds, to try out various effects... depends how much time I have... I don't know if I have a vivid setting and a b/w setting on my camera, only read about a quarter of the booklet with it, and then was too lazy to read on...

Sometime in November or so I tried to take some photos of a small waterfall in a park in Berlin... lighting conditions were difficult as it was quite late already and thus dark... but then again, I needed a slow shutter speed anyway to get a softer movement of the water... well, I am not completely happy with my shots, but will post some here anyway, this one now, and maybe more tomorrow...
