Okay since the last photography thread is locked, and a small request on how to run the next one, here's the new photography thread.

New rule:
Thumbnails and/or links only.

That's all.

So to start this thread off:

Here are just a couple of pictures I took right after all of the snow melted at Belvedere Beach in Charlevoix, MI...

This is neat. I like the lighting from the upper area

Jealousy.
First of all, I want to rape the cello.
Second of all- what kind of film camera did you use? My minolta would probably die of exhausting attempting that.

Nothin' special. Just thought Butt [ yes that's his real name ] looked cute by the flowers.

And one of the flowers by themselves [ except a Butt paw ].

Here are some photos I took yesterday! The boy and I went to the beach and had fish and chips for lunch and we wandered about and he followed me around while I took pictures.

That first photo is amazing.

Thankee kindly. I very much like the lighting in your orchestra pics too. I havent' done B&W film for too long; I had a bathroom studio set up and everything, I should do it again someday.

(I'm a bit alarmed to note that the left hand side of my pics seem a bit soft; that lens wasn't cheap...

)

Photoshop may or may not have been involved in these. The first two are from a juggling show at the Fargo street fair, the second is from laying in the park in May.

Here are some more of my Project365 photos, as always, you can click on them for bigger versions and to check out the rest of them.

I hope I'm not being overly forward by adding many pictures in one go.

Some friends of mine on the streetcar at night, hence the darkness.

instead of linking to a bunch of pictures, i'll just link to my gallery at DA because it's simpler and i'm tired.

the first seven or eight are the new ones i was planning on showing specifically but i guess you can look at the other ones too, if you want.

So, I've been dicking around with extreme macro effects. This is the crema off a shot of espresso:

I also did a bit of dicking around with off-camera flash. This is some flowers, illuminated in an unconventional manner:

Probably a metal band for maximum irony. (It is a really old church).

Thanks Jens!

Oh wow that is pretty ridiculous. I cannot listen, as I am in class, but the visuals were striking enough.

Oh I will. I think I will actually download it right now because our internet is balls.

So hey double post. Bite me. I have a photo!

I really like the position of the hand and the feeling of protection. Did you use any filters? What was the weapon of choice?

Allybee · « **Reply #28 on:** 28 Oct 2008, 15:16 »

I just scanned a bunch of old photos to put on an online portfolio (sending it to schools that aren't art schools). it is to show them that I actually do things other than sitting around with my friends watching gossip girl (cough).

from oldest to newest!

sophomore year: 1 2

about a year ago, you might have seen this one already: 3

first (and still favorite I think) polaroid emulsion: 4

peoples' backs in france, taken last february: 5 6 7

a stranger's baby, last spring: 8

rrghh this makes me so nervous. I'm not necessarily applying as an art major so I am trying to calm down but having people look at my work makes me so antsy. I will probably spend all night rescanning/touching up, I think I need to scan at a higher resolution maybe?

No filters at all, that is straight from the camera. And I used my little compact digital as always! It is all I have.

I get paid to make coffee. It's fun. And then I get to take photos of it.

(It's a link, click it for decent quality.)

Also, Allybee, you have got some gorgeous contrast in some of those shots. I like it.

Metope · « **Reply #31 on:** 01 Nov 2008, 07:06 »

Can... can I have that coffee, please?

Allybee · « **Reply #32 on:** 20 Nov 2008, 15:09 »

if anyone is curious, only 2, 3, 5 and 7 went into the portfolio.

thanks elcap! what've you been up to lately, photography-wise? haven't seen any of your stuff for ages, but that coffee looks wonderful, so well-lit. shooting digital?

speaking of digital, I'm looking into buying a used dslr (not really something I can afford right now, but whatever, who needs a car?). I think I'm ready to go into color photography. it's funny, because a lot of people think that making a picture black and white automatically makes it look "arty" and improves the shot. you really have to pay attention to composition and tones when shooting black and white, which is why a lot of photography programs make you start with it. but I am craving color, though, and color film + processing fees are going to stack up, so while I love being in the darkroom, looks like I might be headed towards digital. I've heard good things about nikon (I'm lucky enough to own a canon slr) but I'm also looking at pentax and maybe olympus.

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #33 on:** 20 Nov 2008, 15:32 »

i'm glad you're back, Ally!

i always liked your photos because they make mine look like crap, and that happens to be exactly what i look for in a good photo.

The Cheesinator · « **Reply #34 on:** 20 Nov 2008, 17:54 »

Sunny skies struck Toronto a few weeks back. Managed to capture Autumn while it lasted.

Also, I do not know how to make it into a thumbnail. Sorry. My Imageshack sucks and I've moved on to Flickr.

I agree. Shame about how opaque the shadow is on the second one; the head doesn't quite fit in smoothly against the bridge lighting, but i really like the black and white one. Really captures the seemingly synthetic feel of the surroundings.

oh, thanks a bunch

Allybee · « **Reply #40 on:** 14 Dec 2008, 20:49 »

haha, thanks swm, but I'm not sure if that's true.

here are some more old things that I scanned for my photography portfolio. I think they scanned with weird contrast, I'm going to rescan later but I'm too lazy now.

fuck I need to shoot really badly

Allybee · « **Reply #42 on:** 16 Dec 2008, 20:21 »

thanks! it's so old oh no I'm getting worse at photography :[ that's why I never post anything recent.

I'm digging the shots of morgan and the depth of field in that grave stone pic - I particularly like the composition of 7 (which might be cool cropped tighter near her head) and 10. and oh god thank you for shooting digital and not feeling the need to photoshop your pictures, the colors look so nice as they are.

Gilead · « **Reply #43 on:** 16 Dec 2008, 20:31 »

Haha, I'd like to pretend it's an artistic choice not to try and photoshop them but mostly it is because photoshop is completely bewildering to me so I try to just shoot it right.

elcapitan · « **Reply #44 on:** 24 Dec 2008, 04:37 »

OK, so here's one of the better things I've captured on my recent travels around India:

I'm pretty happy with it. If you like it, can I ask a huge favour? If you have a Digg account, and like the photo, and don't mind (of course!), could you go to this page and digg it up? I want to see how much play I can get out of this whole Web 2.0 thing...

elcapitan: That is an amazing shot. I love the way the clouds look, it's almost as if they're swirling around what I'm going to call the minaret, even though I think that's the wrong word.

Thanks for the kind words guys, I was pretty happy with it too.

Here's another travel shot from me. This time it's the Golden Temple in Amritsar, in the Punjab. If you like what you're seeing, please check out my photo blog or just have a browse through my Flickr account.
