Thread: My lame attempt at photography

I try to take cool photos like Tim, too. I'm nowhere near as cool, but I just take them to use as wallpapers on my computer, mostly. I thought maybe I would torture you with some of them...

I like your torturing.

I think the 3rd picture is the beans of 1st tree, is it it?
I have a handicraft made by it in my showcase.

Thanks!

And yes, you are right. (My pictures are much easier to guess than Tim's) 3rd picture is a pinecone. 1st is a pine tree.
But technically, the 1st picture is of a Blue Spruce, and the 3rd is a pinecone from a White Pine.

Your too critical of yourself :P I love the tree/moss one. I always love nature pics. Nice job!

Much better than what I could do

shall I tweak them for you

nice stufts!

Nice stuff... It's the one thing in college I never did, but wish I always would have... My concentration was in Sculpture. I dabble on the picture side... Trouble is with everything digital, I find myself less and less able to find the perfect composition as I tend to figure, hell... , no film, no developing costs... just keep shooting and eventually you will end up with something. To me, that kind defeats the purpose. Then the shots become more about luck than art.

I'd love to shoot in b/w and do my own developing. My wife did this in college, but since has done nothing, and opted the digital route as well...

I've recently got back into my sculpting again, and have been working on a Louise Nevelson inspired sculpture in wood, using found objects. I am about 12 weeks into it and near complete... My main concentration was in metal sculpting... However, I don't have welder nor room to do this much anymore... Eventually, I will get back to that too...

Once I learn how to take decent pics, I'll have to share some of my work...

I would love to take a short class (or at least read Tim's upcoming e-book). It would be nice to know something about setting up the photo and lighting etc. I just find something that looks cool to me, and yeah, take 100 pics hoping to get lucky on one...

Well done. Is photography just a hobby?

ok, Tim. You said I could torture you with more pics...:twisted:

cool bridge, I bet it looks wicked @ night!!
the beach looks a tad rocky :twisted:

Here's a night pic of the bridge (No, I didn't take it...)


It's a beautiful place no matter what time of day or night or season... I love it when the water freezes over in the winter!

I like it.

Look at that... DP goes down and look who shows up at WTF!

Careful, cylon. Tim is going to start thinking you are stalking him... Grim will get jealous. And Grim can ban you here...

I tried to think of a new name, Fantasy, but couldn't think of anything. Although I did type in one name, I deleted it very quickly. Then once I had to put in my avatar I wished I had chose WikicyloN.

And yes, I'm here cuz DP is down.

I hope to stay on Grim's good side.

I'm pretty sure he's going to notice you and your 200 posts within 2 hours of signing up. Subtlety is not your strong point, wikicylon.

Good idea. That's what I do, it works well. Out of sight, out of mind.

No! Wikicylon does not belong to me! He belongs somewhere far, far away from me.

But thanks about the pics.
