Pictures Taken By you...

[Janine]

Janine, I loved what you had to say about the photos. As for me trying painting, you know, why not? Whats the worse that could happen, right? Again, thanks for those kind comments.

Well, yes...why not try a painting or a drawing in pastels? It would be fun and what would you have to lose? It would be a fun hobby/pastime for you, to go along with your great photography.

Well three more, and I'll put them in order of lightest to darkest, lol.

This one I call Opal Sky At Dinnertime, for obvious reasons:

This does indeed look like an opal. Good name for this photo. I like the subtle shading...very pretty.

This next one is More Sapphire Skies, it is another I took that morning around 10:00 a.m. It was so blue outside that I hoped that my lens wouldn't fog over, I wanted to get as many shots as I could, you know? (again, the cellphone camera, so could it fog up?):

Love those cellphone photos! I love the blue in this one! Incredible!!!

And finally, it was not that late at night, and while I was doing dinner dishes, I glanced outside and saw a shape in a tree in the yard. I turned out the lights in the house to gain a better look, and there it was -- an owl, sitting in the branches, with Pepper nearby. It is not common to have an owl perched in a yard where there is a noisy dog about (Pepper has vocal chords need us say). So through the window I snapped this shot. It is grainy, but the colours were cool and the owl is rather centered, so I liked the pic.:

I like this story! One brave owl, I guess. It is so cool how you can just make out that is what is perched there, and it seems to be in the center, indeed. Good job, Kizzo! Always good to have your camera handy. The sky and the silouette of the tree is amazing. Was the sky really that blue? If so, it must be the polution here, since our skies are not nearly that pure a blue ever.

Beautiful!

Thanks Claes.

Thanks Claes.

You're welcome. Can you tell us where those were taken?

In the mean time I'll keep us going with some wintery pictures:


Ice crystals on my window.


Lunchtime for a bunch of sheep


A scraggy old tree in blue light.


A composite picture (made of 16 ordinary pictures cobbled together).
What seems to be two roads is in fact the same one, moving in a straight line, but distorted
by the wide angle created by the composition.


A snow cave Saphira and I found in the forest. The black "floor" inside is ice over a small creek.

Wonderful pictures Claes, especially that first one.

Snowqueen, very nice. I'd like to know where that is too.

Hi! I'd like to try my hand at photography. I joined a photography club at school, but I'm a total beginner... Uhm, how do I post pics here? *so dumb at technology*

You seem lost Princess. What you have to do is sign up with a website called Photobucket: http://photobucket.com/. And then upload your pictures into your account there and then one just copies the photo and pastes into a post here. Once you have pictures and a photobucket account, I'll help you do it. But you need to do that first.

LOL! Looks like my user name fits me like a glove... I'm really bad at technology. It really seems to hate me! A friend even told me to go join the Amish! LOL!:lo: Thanks Virg! I'll give it a go tomorrow... It's kinda late here and I won't be staying long...

Great. That means that we'll be able to follow your progress as a photographer (should you chose to post your efforts here regularly).

*so dumb at technology*

No, I don't think you are. You just did not know how to perform that particular task, but now that Virgil has pointed you in the right direction I'm sure you'll be fine. Just holler if you get stuck, and we'll help you.

Here's another sunrise shot:



Nothing better than quickly scarfing my sister's camera and sprinting 100 meters or so to an ideal spot and taking pictures of the sunrise. Especially in the winter!

Nice photo, Dori. The colors of sunrise are among the most gorgeous that exist. And I like the thought of that house nestled down there all by itself.

Some sunrise pictures that I took in Siem Reap (Cambodia) - Dec.2007 :

Very nice Bouquin, very nice. I can't make up my mind which is the best of the three. They all have their good points.

Snowqueen, I'm going to guess North Dakota. Only a guess.

[Niamh]

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[papayahed]

Snowqueen, I'm going to guess North Dakota. Only a guess.

erm, I haven't been to north dakota but I don't think they have palm trees.


hahha, that is a palm tree in that second picture right?

[Niamh]

I thought it was either africa or asia somewhere.
