Photo thread

Is there anyone here practicing the dead art of photography ? I would be happy to see you sharing your photos, as well as critiques on mine, and discuss wha...

Basile I've always dreamed of being a filmmaker. I've tried my hands at writing scripts a few times but I've yet to finish one. I suppose sometimes I just see things in day to day life that catch my eye and make me want to capture them, and when I do I think of them as scenes in a movie usually. Often, particularly when I'm out on a trip, I'll shoot a short video instead of taking a photo. I like doing that because eventually I compile a bunch of these to make music videos.

Red that's cool. Reminded me I saw some people using film cameras to take those kind of short videos. It really add something to those small moments.

Wow cool shots throughout, I wanted to tell you my story with my camera before I comment on individual photos here. So I had a really nice canon, I forgot the model but it was like a real, real camera. And I was such an idiot, I pawned it for $80 so that I could take a girl I liked out to dinner, basically. This was when I was new in this terrible city that I have since left. I was such a sad sack, coming off of a divorce, and into the arms of an abusive psycopath girl like that. I hate that period of my life and I will never, ever go back to that shit hole.

Anyway, the orange building with windows is nice, and so is the basketball basket on the ocean.

Your night-time pictures are very beautiful, in an eerie sort of way. And I like the toned down colors. The last one reminds me of The X-Files. I love it.
The snowy hill is also very comfy, and it contrasts well with that gray wasteland. I think there's a story to be had here. Like, you've gone sledding all day and now you have to walk back home before it gets too dark.

I've never thought of photography as a hobby of mine. And I don't know much about its technical aspects. But I do still take lots of pictures whenever I go out.

For some reason I've always felt a liking towards the 1:1 aspect ratio.

Fimm Are those eyes in the background...? Regardless, cool pics, especially the first one =)

Gorgeous photos, I'm not a photographer myself (unless shitty phone pics count) so I'm afraid I can't add much to the thread aside from admiration. Though I am curious as to where some of those pictures were taken, specifically the one of the basketball hoop. I'm fairly certain I've been to that exact spot, if you took it in Croatia I'd say I definitely have. They're all absolutely lovely though, really make me want to buy a camera for when I go hiking/traveling.

Other place are usually overflown by gear talks and contain very little actual art.

I'm not really a photographer but I know your pain, it's the exact same way with guitar discussions online. I was once watching a video tutorial on a guitar technique and the guy kept rambling about how the amp he's using is identical to the one Hendrix used, and it's the same kind of guitar that Hendrix used, and the strings, and the cable... eventually he casually mentions that he bought some pills online to make his thumb longer so he could play more like Hendrix. As though what made Hendrix talented was his exact amp setup and his long thumb. You might not be able to buy talent, but that sure doesn't stop people from trying.

This is one of my best shots, I'm posting it because I think it's a great photo not because I like the place that's in the picture or that I want toe ver go back (because I won't)

Here's a somewhat ghostly picture of our summer house.

The contrasts between the cathedral and industrial chimneys, classical- and modern buildings, leafless trees and the grey weather of it all makes this one feel very cyberpunk-ish.

Not artsy but I got a photo of some babies in the neighbors tree and some eggs on my back porch light

The babies are blackbirds and the eggs are robin eggs.
Mama all fluffed out on her eggs.

Neighbours' dumb cat shows up at our birdfeeder and sits there waiting for food to fly into their mouth.

Expert level camo.

There are 4 owls in my backyard tree tonight

I think they're screech owls.

Here are new different baby owls in the same tree

Sometimes I get struck by something I'm looking at and get the urge to photograph it, can't really say I'm a photographer though. Mostly it's clouds and things like that. Most of my state is flatland, especially where I live, so opportunities are not that common.

Photography is an art I respect a lot but I do not really grasp the basics of stuff like framing and perspective, even though I know it when I see it. Mostly I just try and line it up and hope it works.

Fimm

Porter I love to take loads of photos whenever I'm out, so some of them must be good by sheer chance.

Gigachad

Porter Most of my state is flatland, especially

I live in a state statistically flatter than a pancake (Delaware is the flattest by virtue of being so small but I'm in a real state). Best sunsets out here. Nothing in the way. As a consequence I'm deathly afraid of heights. Tallest thing in my state is a 20 story building. Barely even hills here. Opportunity is everywhere.

My owls left..

I was overseas a month or so ago, so I took some photos.
Some of them turned out better than I expected

Theory_of_Everything These are neat captures, especially that shot right under the dome.
