Well, after seeing some of Jim Garten's snaps in the Rogues Gallery I've been inspired to finally create the thread I've long wanted to create. Here's a place where anyone who enjoys the art of photography can share their work with our progheaded friends (yes, I know there's photography forums for this, but hey!). Call it progressive photography if you will
 I love a good picture... it can turn the mundane into something beautiful, or capture a unique moment as a form of art, or showcase something that us mere mortals will never have the chance to see. I'll start with a few of my favorite pics.  - A bridge from Tynehead Park in Surrey, BC  -The Clouds over the park  -My favorite snap of a buddy of mine playing guitar.  -My best attempt to make a friend of mine look like a serial killer Your turn! Feedback is encouraged and appreciated, so long as it stays positive  |

I really like these pics, Mike.
As for me, I barely have taken good photographs, I've got not much talent.

Was just experimenting with prolonged exposures thanks to the very nice weather out. This one turned out like a post rock album cover!

My wife and I love to take photos of old churches, landscapes and some different views.
Here's an old church in the city of Tiradentes, MG.
 Dawn at the historical Ouro Preto, MG... the street fair, the old church, the mountains, the morning mist.
 Another shot at old Ouro Preto... only one girl at the windows is real but I cannot remember who!

Nice idea for a thread, Mike -
 - this has been talked of for some time, but I believe never come to fruition.
Anyway - I keep forgetting to upload shots to Photobucket, only have a limited selection there at the moment, so some of these will have been seen before, but here's a few: 
Entrance to Harecastle Tunnel on the Trent & Mersey Canal, UK 
Vicky waiting at a lock gate, early morning (I love the quality of light in this one) 
Sunrise on the canals (about 5:30am) - we always make a point of going from 1st light to last light to make the most of the time. Finally one I frustratingly reduced on Photobucket & forgot to re-upload full size: 
Humpback whale, Bay Bulls, Newfoundland. |

Nice ones Guigo! Those kinds of views make me wish I lived in a country that had more than only a few hundred years of history.
Jim - what a fantastic sunrise . Being that I work night shifts I hardly have the capability to wake up for the sunrises, but I've got a couple of nice sunsets!   OH! and this one's for Raff - it's a little statue that inhabits our non-pet-friendly apartment:  Tomorrow I think I'll be buying a remote flash. Very excited  |

Nice sunsets - you got me there though - very few at the moment on Photobucket apart from this one I reduced again
 :
Nice colours though... [edit] Ah - forgot this one:

Ooooh, those are both gorgeous! The second one reminds me that it's been way too long since I've been out to Tofino... hopefully I'll make it out there this summer! That would make an awesome sunset... and maybe I'll even have a wider lens by then!
Widest I got right now is an 18mm...

I like the one of the fox best!
Seriously, there's some great work there. Jim's tunnel is nice. (goes await to await witty response). |

Too bad I didn't take the fox one
I should probably change that to my own photo of something.In the meantime, enjoy some concert pics that I took last month (metal, not prog, sarry!) http://www.uptownsound.ca/live-reviews/pagan-knights-tour-2009-seattle/ Wanted to post the pics here, but apparently they're too huge - click "view image" to see the full size thing.

The most artistic photo I've ever taken. Anyone recognize it?

Love the self portrait, Mike (you got your new toy, then
) & Leningrad - have to second the praise for the Maui photograph - top notch.
Don't sweat it, Mike, the 18mm is the widest one I use too (the Kerkennah shot was taken using that) - matter of interest, what camera are you using?
Thanks, Alan - and thanks for the lead in line... There are so many things I could say here  - mind you, I love the tunnel pic, but have always thought there's something about it... a bit... rude

Right now I've got me the Canon Xsi Rebel (yes... the same one advertised by Avril Lavigne
) - it's something of an entry level camera, but it gets the work done.I've been eying the XTi though... that thing is A BEAST! I want one! How about you? I think I remember hearing something Nikon |

I really must spend some time uploading some good photos to photobucket - there are some good photographers here
Just for a change, a few photos from Newfoundland (sorry, but the place is just so photogenic): 
Cottage & Woodstack 
I think this is a species of wild orchid, but maybe someone can clarify this...? Whatever it is, these grow in abundance on the Nfld hills. |
