Let's show off our photography!
« on: January 27, 2007, 09:10:40 PM »
Just bought a Nikkormat CM-4 at a pawn shop, risky proposition I know but I'm loving it.

Here's a couple of snaps I took on these gray San Francisco days:



UN Plaza, just a few minutes walk from City Hall. Populated with hobos and drug users/dealers who were so kind to vacate the frame.



The weather influences my mood so much; that's how I feel.

Now let's see yours!

Just a hair under 300 feet AGL.  We're looking UP at the Columbia River Gorge.  I'm pointing down at a windsurfer on the river who doesn't realize he's about to get an eight turbofan greeting courtesy of the 92nd Bomb Wing. Wink

The previous photo wasn't terribly pretty, but it still was a lot of fun to stage.

Shortly after the hurricanes of 2004 pummeled Central Florida, life began to slowly resume some semblance of normalcy.  I found myself driving around with camera in hand taking pictures for posterity. The last radial arms of Hurricane Jeanne departed the Spacecoast Florida neighborhood, leaving a spectacular Indian River sunset:

Twycross that first photo feels like it's just over yonder hill, if you know what I mean. Thanks!

And Gewehr98, what great moments to be captured!

A couple from my vacation, last year.


Oh, Lord, please let me be as sanctimonious and self-righteous as those around me, so that I may fit in.

That was taken from the Chateau above Nice, France.  I love that Seattle pano.  Was that stitched or done with something other than 35mm?

I loved it there and I plan on going back real soon (as finances permit).  Preferrably for the race again but that's not a deal breaker.
I wouldn't mind owning a house on the water somewhere between Nice and Monaco.  Sat on the train thinking about how cool it would be to wake up to that view every day.  I can walk to the beach in just a couple of minutes but I am totally jealous of the people in the south of France.

The Seattle pano was a stitch using the freeware autostitch (Google it if you want a copy, it's extremely easy to use). The picture I posted was heavily cropped. The original is 9 photos at approximately 16 1/2' x 2' if you were to hang it on the wall. The border was a quick and dirty little thing. It stands for a lot of improvement.

Gary,

Thanks for the compliment.

spinr,

Those helo shots are impressive. Very sharp and the exhaust blur is cool.

Here's some more to keep this thread going.

How do you post a photo?

You have to upload your photo to a hosting site, such as photobucket.com or content-type.com, and that will give you a url for the photo. You can then copy/paste to photo url into [img] tags here to display the image.  smiley
