Post photos you've taken yourself

Postby Echelon » 07 May 2011, 16:21

Just making a thread for pics that you took by your own camera.
Could be portraits, sports, travels, funny/not funny, or anything as long as you did it yourself. No posting from Google etc.

I'll start off with a few pics i did to test a Canon 450D. I've become very interested in photography lately, and never knew how to do decent white balance, manual focus and ISO settings before, until recently. I'm learning slowly :)

I need to load up Ubuntu on an old rubbish PC and pull out the photos I took years ago.

Also, as of this monring: I'M FREE!!!! Submitted the last piece of uni work for this year and there 5 months until it starts back up for 3rd year. I'm going to have plenty time to start going out and taking pictures. :D

edit: here a few pictures I've got on my PC that I took a few months ago.

All of my pictures are taken with my crappy Nokia 6220 classic cell phone camera.
I wish I had the money to invest in a proper camera, but this is what I have to use right now.

First a picture I took, drunk on our "drinking" bench :P

And following it, two pictures from a different electronic musical events.

I would upload a photo I took today if I didn't get that every single time I tried.

I've seen Sally B a few times at Duxford air shows and she really is a treat, especially when she flies in formation with mustangs, sabres and even once a spit and a hurricane!

Right finally got it working. I renamed the file "photo" and that made it work for some reason.

Anyways, just took one quickly last night because I felt like it. Not great but it looks decent enough for things.

Just one I took of my room a few days ago while I had all my electronic music gadgets setup. This is not of the setup ofc just another one I decided to take :P

Image

One from my trip to Switzerland with the scouts - quite an interesting film grain effect (raw image - no editing).

Image

Another one from my Switzerland trip, this time about 9-10pm outside the hut we were staying in during our overnight hike. About 2300ft above sea level 8)

Image

Last one for this post, again from Switzerland, this time a day shot on the way up to the hut on our hike.

Image

Once I look through em all, I've probably got quite a few more to come....I can see this thread getting busy :lol:
