lawrence_ho Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 <p>I contributed early this morning but the hosting site (or just my gallery?) was down so the picture did not show for the better of the day. Now it's back up running again. Please go back there and check again (under the name "Lawrence Ho"). Thanks.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pcnilssen Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 <p>Following up my earlier post today:<br> <strong>Sjoerd, Cees, Erik, Mike, Richard, Tim, Benjamin</strong>: Thank you all for your kind words. I guess she has the looks from her mother ;)<br> I'm starting to repeat myself, but all images here are fantastic. Great inspiration, and also a drive for finding new images until next Wednesday. It is hard to pick a few photos from this myriad of creativity, but this week, the following has struck a special chord in me:<br> <strong>Alejandro</strong>: Intriguing close-up of the cactus<br> <strong>Mike</strong>: I'd like to learn more of your DOF technique<br> <strong>Oskar</strong>: Well seen, funny pic and I like the caption! ;)<br> <strong>Ray G</strong>: Beautiful macro - makes me want to shoot macro again..<br> <strong>Tony:</strong> Strong image with exciting light<br> <strong>Kevin</strong>: That Rock-guy is giving everything!<br> <strong>Paula</strong>: You made me laugh! Funny bird.<br> <strong>Epp:</strong> Fascinating image, and beautiful color tones.<br> <strong>Draganco</strong>: That tiger close-up looks dangerous<br> <strong>Steve P</strong>: Sweet dancers</p> <p>As Wednesday is not yet over in some parts of the world, I'm looking forward to many more pictures. Keep'em coming!</p> <p> </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peter_doucette Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 <p>Took a walk in the White Mountains in New Hampshire and found this lonely mushroom. Handheld with a D40, 18-55 kit lens at 55mm, 1/4 sec f8, iso 200 matrix metered. I played with the original raw file in Raw Therapee, and put 3 versions of it into Essential HDR (community edition), and this is what came out...</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanford_dickerson Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 <p>Another great Wednesday. One of the best forums out there. Unfortunately, I still haven't master the "art" of posting my photos, (sigh) so I'll just continue to admire those who have.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sanford_dickerson Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 <p>Another great Wednesday! Still having trouble posting my images, but I'll keep trying.

jeannean_. Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 <blockquote> <p>all pictures presented above are extremely no good.</p> </blockquote> <p><br /> You've said that before. I'd like to see what your idea of "good" is. Maybe the "Critique Forum" is where you should be. (I like those pics too...but what do I know.)<br /> <br /> I can honestly say that I love each and every picture for a variety of reasons. Maybe it's because I'm just rediscovering my love for photography, that I find everyone's efforts to be GREAT...simply because they took the time to make the shot. In this world of hurry up, hurry up... it's SO relaxing to take a moment to SEE what's around us and that's what this thread is all about. Did I know of the oil spill in Per-Christian's area of Norway? No. I live close to South Padre Island, TX, so I do know of the ecological mayhem when one occurs. Did I appreciate his choosing his beautiful daughter to post instead of ecological grime? Yes. I love beauty. I am nothing but a person who has discovered a new world around them due to a simple camera and a few inexpensive lenses...and inspiration and invaluable advice/postings from people here. I don't claim to be a world class photographer...most of us here don't even think in those terms. We are people who want to share a corner/glimpse of our world through our eyes. That's it. No more. No contest. No prizes. Let us enjoy each other's world without rancor. Thankyouverymuch.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter_k4 Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 <p>We've been having some wild storms in southern Ontario all summer. The other night the thunderstorm came through but for about half an hour before it started to rain there was nothing but heat lightning right above my house!</p> <p>I took this photo well after sunset and all the light in the sky is from the lightning. It was a 92 second exposure with my front house lights turned on for about 10 seconds.</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barryfrankelphotography Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 <p>After the threat of Hurricane Felicia finally subsided, I went for a ride this morning to enjoy some nice weather. I stopped on the side of the road where Marko was kind enough to offer a sample of freshly cut sugar cane. Sweet!</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmm Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 <p>Dariusz - the only thing which is "extremely no good" is your attitude. Especially given that many people here are not only talented but also friendly, and highly generous with their time, advice and vision.</p> <p>So for fear of putting it too delicately, piss off and let us enjoy our forum.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Laur Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 <p>Dariusz: this is a conversation that involves photographs. It's casual, it's not pretentious, but it <em>is</em> built around photographs. So, communicate with a photograph, why don't you? Nobody will call it "extremely no good," I promise.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leicaglow Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 <p>Cool stuff everyone. Nice OM-1. Here, a 4x5" shot with 135mm Nikkor W. Not the sharpest lens in my LF toolkit, but...</p><div></div> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmm Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 <p>Now that this has been said, my 'shout outs' as I remain in constant awe of the work each week. Again I'm embarassed at selecting just a handful because all images are good. But the ones that speak to me most of this lot are:<br> Per-Christian, Ton, Nina, Dario, Hasse, Chris, Benjamin, Elliott, John, Steve, Sean (the city in which I did most of my childhood!), Thangavelu, Epp, Steve, Dan, and my own favourite is the amazing capture and composition from Uzay.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tholte Posted August 12, 2009 Share Posted August 12, 2009 <p>I think Dariusz messed up his English a bit and really meant that all the photos were good, not "not good". </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
