The Photography thread

[Toams]

You know how you sometimes have a picture you made, and you want to show it to your favorite forum, but you don't want to make a thread for that sole picture of yours? Putting it into the 'Post pictures of yourself' doesn't really cut it either, because it's not you. Most of the time it's some random object, or something else that's interesting, and you would like to see what kind of comments you'll receive on it.

I have that a lot.

Which is why i'm starting this thread.

This is pretty much the photography equivalent of 'the sketch thread', so you can dump whatever pictures you like. Funny pictures you made, pictures with backstories, or otherwise interesting ones. If you're into photography, you can also put pictures here that you'd like some critique on. I'm sure there are people here that know just how to improve on these things.

Well then, i'll start off:

These aren't the best, but they're pictures of something i made in uni. I'm currently following a course called Imagination, it's a half year full time course, and the aim is to produce a minute-long animation with it, mainly done in maya. But more on that later. We had to do poses and expressions with clay yesterday, and these are a couple of shots i made. You can see this is a stereotypical "WHYYY!???" pose. Pretty funny how that works out, even in clay.

i took several thousands pictures and videos when i went to australia and new zealand in july. here are some of the good pictures!

i'm far from a ~*~good photographer~*~ and i'm only using a digital camera. so don't expect excellence or anything.

we stopped for a day in los angeles. and went to hollywood!!

the santa monica beach was the busiest beach i've ever seen. i mean, it was a warm summer day and all, but i come from a rural farming county where our beach is a lake that catches in fire.

sorry, i was gone for a couple of days, i'd have replied earlier.
i've been to a lot of things that are beautiful to look at, and photographing vistas with the intention of letting your photo have the same impact is the hardest thing. i know.
you have a lot of cool shots here though.

i can't even imagine what it must've been like to see those clouds in the mountains below you.
man that must've been a view.
i mean they aren't moving on picture, so just think of how that'd have looked.

also there are some shots which look REALLY crisp!

like this one: http://i275.photobucket.com/albums/jj32 ... CN3557.jpg
i can imagine that being an o'neill/other surfbrand advertisement
(same with the bird below, btw)

so good job on these!
really interesting stuff!
