The Photography Thread

Magnakai,

I'm moving out of my place this week and was hoping to get rid of it by then. If its still available next weekend its all yours. But I will then be based in Chingford, North East London.

great pictures everyone. Tommy the wave shots are incredible ... how did you get them without worrying about your camera getting wet!

I managed to sell a photogrpah after someone asked me through Flickr if they could use it. I told them they could have limited usage if they paid me and they did! Didnt make loads of money but enough for a new filter :P

Been holidaying so not many pics to share but been practising my 'shop skills to help get a bit more out my landscapes (these are not HDR):



This one is a bit overdone, but you should see how boring the original one was. Need to practice more.



some highland wildlife. If you click through to the big picture of the frog you can see me



big wood wasp! Not a great shot but the size of this thing is amazing.



Pretty regular sighting up north: the common grey Tornado

Love the sky in the second one winky. Wave pics look fun Tommy. Great people shots Ish, wish I was going to a festival this year, you capture the vibe very well.

[Ish]

love the last two winky. That's one hell of a stinger on that wasp!

[TommyG]

Wow I love your landscape shots winky, I really need to find some time to get better with PS, those images are great and congrats on the sale

I use the underwater housing for the G9, so no worries about getting it wet

I don't think I'd have the guts to put my camera in one of those and then go underwater with it - after seeing some of your shots tho I would consider trying it next time I'm away somewhere suitable. Maybe...

[Ish]

Few from me. Still working through the Womad set I'm afraid!

Love the first and last shot Ish, great stuff!

They actually work very well. This is from about 10m down - the camera is fine, it's getting the shot that's tricky!

Cool turtle, still the thought gives me teh fear.

[TommyG]

Yes Nijo! That turtle shot has inspired me, as there are turtles in Barbados but the region that they're in has teh sharks!!

Will develop balls of steel and go shoot some turtles........and maybe shark

Depends what kind of sharks they are!

Here's some kind of eel thingamy:

[TommyG]

A quick google search suggests there are hammerheads, black tips, white sharks and nurse sharks

Here's a collage of the pictures I took of the yoga day.

[spagmasterswift]

Thats so cool man, and to think you've done all that while still on your holidays o_O

Couple from me as I've not posted for a bit.

[Magnakai]

Ish, I like that close-up detail of coloured fabric. Nicely spotted.

I went and saw the Street & Studio exhibition at the Tate Modern today - totally inspiring! There's some really amazing stuff there, and I urge all Londoners to make the journey, especially if you've got any interest in street photography or actually in portrait photography in general.

Almost immediately upon exiting the gallery, I took this picture, which is one of my favourite ones of recent weeks.


Please click on it, it's definitely much improved at a larger size.
