Post photos you've taken yourself

by **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

did you blur them using layer masks in photoshop, Willy? Im talking about the guitar amp picture.

Looks like he just used a wide aperture to get a greater depth of field?

by **ELEA|Willyfxp** » 07 May 2011, 22:39

I think I just put it on portrait mode and used autofocus

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.

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

by **Getsuga Tensho** » 08 May 2011, 06:46

One more.

I'm a bit of a propeller head for my sins...Here's one of my favourite shots of a B-17 called Sally-B. (She's been used in countless films including Memphis Belle).

by **Rockford** » 08 May 2011, 08:53

Here's one that Bat took with just a standard panasonic...no zoom, no fancy SLR. I'm dead proud!

Bad weather.

Panorama (this one is a project of mine as i'm removing the people in photoshop. I'm about 1/3 the way through...)

I went through a phase of loving reflections.

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

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

On my iPhone, so not great, but I love this pic

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

Took these in 2009 during the World Yacht Race stopover in Galway.

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!

by **Getsuga Tensho** » 10 May 2011, 05:33

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.

by **GTFO. Avenger** » 10 May 2011, 06:00

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

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

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

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

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

by **Echelon** » 10 May 2011, 17:46

yup

Looks like lots of ppl here needed this thread.

by **Getsuga Tensho** » 10 May 2011, 18:22

note to self: must get out of city to places with nicer scenery more often. ....and remember to take a camera.

It's hard to really look at your pics when you post links to full-size images....

Anyways, here's some photos i took in a park nearby my home.
