Just wondering if there are any amateur or professional photographers here? Just wanted a space to share all kinds of pictures (other than cars), ideas, techniques, etc.

Currently I have a 3 year old Konica Minolta DiMage A200. It does the job for now but I have urge to step into a DSLR.

Some samples throughout my life. Not in any order.

I shoot with the rebel xti,

The first is wicked, a bit under exposed though. The rest are excellent!

i

check out dmp's stuff on this site. i can't remember if that's his hobby or profession but he is probably the best photographer i've seen on here.

very nice pics..

Thx all. Yea, I've seen some excellent talent here. Hope ya'll post your stuff.

maybe start a flickr group?? Have weekly assignments and stuff? Flickr is free and great for sharing photos. (just a suggestion)

Yes, but I'd rather we discuss here so the Club members benefit.

I nominate my good friend, PHOTO CHICK! She takes some great photos. Here is one of my car that she took this weekend in Salt Lake City, Utah.

The rebel xti is a pretty popular cam. I know at least 3 people that use it.

Are you guys using Photoshop for photo editing, or another program? Any other recommendations for photo editing software?

here's some of mine. using a Konica Minolta Dimage X60 that i bought when i went to Singapore. still trying to work on the exposure settings. i've never done any editing to my photos so far either. they came straight from the camera to photobucket. as you can tell i like baseball.

Awesome work all! Could you state your equipment too?

Rebel Xti
EF-s 18-55 kit lens w/hood
should have crumpler bag (7million dollar bag) in coming weeks.

i use a canon powershot S3

i just use a canon sd850, its just a compact but im getting an slr soon

ALL the photos are awesome, we got some talent here!

i use a canon eos 20D, eos rebel, powershot sd 550
i have the basic canon efs 18-55mm lenses, and an ultrasonic image stabilizer 75-300mm

my daddy works for canon, so it worked out nicely for me :)

most of these were shot using a Rebel Xti, a variety of lenses. The couple race cars were shot with a 28-300 with image stabilizer. I do all my post processing work in Photoshop.

i really like your last set l8apex, real nice black and white ones

here is a black and white of mine

http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k21/DonJuanMair/DSC01504-2.jpg

so, i deleted my previous post with my pictures because photobucket ruined their quality. i added them onto flickr, but i don't know if it allows you to post your photos on other websites. any suggestions?

Ah yes, a classic shot. I like it better with the one colored lens as it gives more focus. Good experiment though with the 2 rings.

i give up...here's a link with a few photos

Here are some of mine. Please note that I am not a fan of post processing so none of my photos have been touched except for the occasional crop.

just a novice, but sell them none-the-less :)

I know they say its not the camera its the person...but dang i want a DSLR:banghead: :Eyecrazy:

i want one too!! got my eye set on a canon.

My next camera will probably be a D300. I'm pretty set on it unless something drastic changes my mind.

check out dmp's stuff on this site. i can't remember if that's his hobby or profession but he is probably the best photographer i've seen on here.


damn! Thanks man. I think there are many here in this very thread better than I. I sorta 'stopped' for awhile. Got very down and frustrated about it. It's just a hobby, really, although I have made a few bux on the side. :)

FWIW - folks? there is NO NEED to post 2xxx-wide PICTURES here...HOLY CRAP guys...lol :)

Here are some recent shots I've done; I doubt they are my best, but they're recent.

AND...perhaps the first GOOD Rx8 pic I took - taken with a Canon S2IS Point/Shoot type...

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/53/148822085_6612bacd16_o.jpg

I shoot with a Canon 20D. I have three lenses: 17-55 f/2.8 IS, 70-200 f/4L, and a 300 f/4L. When I flash, I use a Speedlite 430EX - except for the swings at the fair photo - that was the on-board, pop-up flash. :)

I am not a fan of post processing

You and Ansel Adams are NOT alike in that opinion. :)

Post-Processing is at LEAST half of what it means to be a photographer. Ansel would spend hours and hours in the dark room getting thing just right. :)

amazing

dmp: a lot of your shots could benefit from an even wider lens

and as far as post processing goes, I believe photos without post processing are more natural. However, some effects cannot be achieved without post processing. I just feel that my photos become somehow "tainted" after photoshopping.

http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k21/DonJuanMair/IMG_1847And12More_tonemapped-1.jpg

Not only is dmp one of the best photographers on this forum, he lives in one of the best states for taking pics and drives the best color 8! :)

As for post processing. In my opinion Ansel Adams was more of a technical genius. His work is reflected today every time you use Photoshop and change the levels, curves and contrast. I even use it while taking pics by using the histogram to make sure my levels are correct then adjusting further in photoshop. Photoshop is the darkroom of today without chemicals.

An artistic photographer can take images that are creative and in many cases do not need a lot of post processing. To be able to extend the creativity with technical skills in Photoshop is just an extension of the photographer/artist skills. It is possible to be a photographer and artist but not every photographer is an artist. Post processing in my work (advertising for a manufacturing company) is a requirement due to the fact that it is either presented in print or on the web. I don't think I have ever taken a photo that did not need to be adjusted in some way.

A wider lens? How so? How would the benefit - to what end? Thanks!

SilverEIGHT - re: post-processing - I think you summed it up NICELY. Well done

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2322/2072207467_1ebbd30379_o.jpg
this one too but not as beneficiary

I think natural scenes can generally benefit from an as wide or wider angle of view lens than human eyes.
You said you have a canon 20D which with the 1.6x FOV crop. Your widest lens is that 17-55mm zoom. 17x1.6 is really 27.2mm in 35mm film equiv.

If only I had enough money for the 7-14 olympus 4/3 lens...

dmp, i came across some of your pictures on flickr the other day...random that you just posted those right after that. nice work dude!

omg the pic of the blue 8 looks fn sweet

http://farm1.static.flickr.com/99/314235496_844ffaf347_o.jpg

Thanks - I actually had one from further away (using my 2-foot zoom), but liked the one I picked best. :)

That was was taken at 55mm, IIRC. :)

Righto! Except I only like photos wide enough to show context w/o hiding the subject. Thanks for your input.

Im a photographer.. Never get to shoot anything too exciting, mostly weddings but sometimes I get to do the good stuff... Here are a few:

Wow what a burn... wonder how that happened.

It was my sister and her husbands music store. One of the other stores attached had an electrical fire, burned down an entire shopping mall.

wow, that B-1 looks MEAN! Awesome shots!!

Thank you gauge :)

Hey dmp your pics are great! I was wondering if you had higher resolutions of the RX-8 pics, I would love to use it as my background.

Locations are key in making a great photo. Props!.....no pun intended.

Here's one of mine of my bike in the driveway. Look at that "hump" in the background right in the middle of the seat.

I use a Canon Digital Rebel XTi with a 28-135 IS lens for most, and I switch to a 10-22 wide angle, and the 100-400L for telephoto. I also have a 105 macro, I used for fun.

What size do you need? Thanks Dom.

1280 by 800 would be great if you can.

What's up with the cars chasing the airplane on the tarmac?
Those are Camaros that are needed to help launch the U-2. They are also used to help the U-2 land...exactly how, I'm not sure. Its pretty impressive to watch takeoff though!

Interesting!

wow guys, you guys make me want a digicam! all these pictures look so clean.

i can't find the originals of these photos, but i took them march 13 of this year with a canon powershot sd 550. it's taking back sunday at the bren events center at uci...

Still using my old ghetto setup. Canon 10D/grip, 50 F1.8, 85 F1.8, 18-50 F2.8, 70-200F2.8L IS, 420EX and Alien Bee setup.

Cosmo, Im sitting here watching the Mazda MX5 cup. I look up at the screen and see the green and white one in the picture... That was strange.

I took those pictures at the Grand prix of Houston, that was the 1st MX5 cup race of the season at reliant park. It was some great racing live, 2 cars came around turn 1 side by side and 1 went into the tire wall. It then went around the track 2 more laps with it's door flapping open at turns until it was black flagged.

I was watching the season replay of MX5 on speed last sat as well, they're doing 2 races each saturday in Dec.

yeah lol it took me a while!, it was my first photoshop attempt so i learnt a lot too which was cool

that lotus is so nice, thats my next car for sure, exige though

Nice Elise. I work with a guy that has a yellow one. Very nice!

Any word on those pics dmp?

Here's one more I took a few years ago...I wish I had a better camera at the time!

http://i19.tinypic.com/7ynu5g2.jpg

http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k21/DonJuanMair/IMG_2083And12More_tonemapped.jpg

Awesome photos all! Keep them coming.

Thought I'd share a few... This is how I taught myself photography.

But then I wised up and decided that the offhand chance of being struck and killed by lightning wasn't worth the thrilling photos, and I went on to shoot cars! :)

Thought I'd share a few... This is how I taught myself photography.

I gotta ask, How did you know where to point?Also, was this with a digital camera or film?

those lightning shots are amazing.

i love the car pics too

don that pic in your sig is pretty nice

the lightening above is great:)

wow, great thread.. you guys are good.. i am a brand new noob when it comes to photography.. i bought an entry level D40 with the regular lens and a 55-200mm lens... i am still trying to get a hang of the features and need to look at photochop too... I'll post up some pics later... good stuff

don that pic in your sig is pretty nice

the lightening above is great:)

thanks....here is the full size one

http://i84.photobucket.com/albums/k21/DonJuanMair/IMG_2120And12More_tonemapped.jpg

I gotta ask, How did you know where to point?Also, was this with a digital camera or film?
The lightning shots were done on slide and print film. By the time I had good digital gear, I'd grown tired of just shooting lightning.

Most folks don't understand that out here in the desert, it's highly unlikely thta lightning follows any path other than rain to the ground. It simply just doesn't jump through the air like it does in areas of much higher humidity. This makes it "safer" to shoot, though there are no guarantees either way. Where it rains hard, that's where you point the camera! Get it? :)

I have boxes of lightning photos here... but I no longer have a slide or flatbed scanner. Besides, car photography pays better! LOL

heres another in vegas

nice shot, although it looks slightly crooked. it's dipping down to the right. anyone else see it? but it has nice shadows, accentuates the curvature of the gages.

thanks Photo C. yea its crooked I thought it was cool how the shadowing made the guages look... thanks for the props...im new at this

you're good for a newbie. good eye. keep up the great work!

3 of us from the Georgia Gang got together this last Saturday on the top of a parking deck Downtown Atlanta. The deck belongs to SCAD Atlanta (Savannah College of Art & Design, Atlanta Campus). We just wanted to play with our cameras and we were blessed with one of the most beautiful sunset's we have seen in Atlanta in a long time. What an excellent opportunity. Here are my best shots. I'm sure the other guys will be posting as well. Attending: SilverEIGHT, L8APEX, Gimlet. Enjoy!

^Your a very good Phonetogopher. Ha sorry, it was funny when i thought of it.

thanks dude, i finally get my dslr tomorrow, ill be posting a lot of pics in here then

Some truly AMAZING work here. I got into photography 3 years ago when I got the news that I had a son on the way. I've tried to get better but two toddlers, work and playing in a band leave me little time to get better. Regardless, here are a few of mine.

I use a Canon 30D with a variety of prime lenses (200mm 2.8, 50mm 1.8) and one Tamron 17-135mm.

i love this shot......i would love to see it in color


http://www.rx8club.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=113785&d=1200635398

I have a few pics of my journeys through the wilderness, but this was back in 2000 when I had a killer 3.3MP Minolta. I also had no photo skills at all. The second barn house was right behind my own about 75 yards aways. When we moved in it was spring/summer, but when the foliage fell that's when I noticed it. Very creepy place. Wish I took pics of the inside.

Pretty much. Each of us held a cut piece of cardboard then I just PhotoShopped the other pics in. The idea came from someone on fredmiranda.com so as much as I'd like to take credit, it wasn't mine---so go ahead and use it! A warning though; the xmas card it was on was a HUGE hit and now I have no friggin' idea how I'm going to top it next year!

here is a couple of a lotus i took over the weekend

I was on my way back from Lowes today, and saw a huge hawk on the side of the road chowing down on a dead opposum...it was sort of gruesome, but really cool! I flew back to my house and grabbed my camera, hoping he would still be there...he was done eating, but I got some cool shots of him in a tree....I got ~10-15 feet away from it. I'm not a photographer, but I love taking pics...one of these days, maybe I'll figure out how to do this instead of banging on a computer every day for a job!

bummer, I tried to host these pics....I guess i didn't do it right to display bigger! Oh well, here are a couple more

Here are some more I took recently :)

Let me know what you guys think...

PS - Shots were taken on the Northwest part of Maui near Honokohau

Wow! My wife and I have talked about going to the islands and these images are precisely why. Those are beautiful locations and the images do a great job of sowing the scenery. Thanks for posting. ;)

Great pics! Just an advice, try pumping up saturation on your camera to max when taking pics like those above. I think that will help. If not, you can always desaturate!

^ cool i'll try that when i go in August... my Grandma lives on Maui so my family goes every year

^Can I go?

These images are from NASA-SE at Road Atlanta this weekend:

That 8 looks bad ass like that DonJuan, nice work. Did you use a filter on the camera or was that photoshop? I would like to give something like that a try.

I also like the freeway there in Atlanta, what shutter speed did that take to get the lights like that?

Hawaii rocks too.

I was the editor of my high school yearbook last year, so I got some good experience with photoshop and cameras, but I don't really have any artsy stuff right of hand, so here are some pics from one of my trips to germany.

The first pic is Sans Souci in Potsdam, the second is the Bundestag in Berlin, and the third is Neuschwanstein/gau.

How big of attachments can we make?

HDR porn. hehe

i just blended two exposures together on photomatix then played around a lot on photoshop with it with layers, thanks btw

here's a panorama of Haleakala Crater on Maui, the worlds largest dormant volcano:

http://i170.photobucket.com/albums/u257/joeltross/HaleakalaPanorama-1.jpg

and i know the cropping isn't very good on the bottom middle... but it gets the job done

Edit: just to get a perspective on how huge this crater is, from where I am standing to the opposite end is 7.5 miles! And yes i did do the 22 mile hike through there in 1 day which involved climbing 3300 vertical feet at the end via switchbacks and starting at 6 in the morning :(
But i highly recommend anyone visiting Maui to check out the Haleakala National Park for breathtaking scenery (literally)

yeah thats just a simple fix, thats stunning Ross

^ thx man ya I was going through my pics and found a few that i thought would fit together. Turned out pretty good... but i dont know how to get rid of that railing in the middle

http://www.carchaos.com/mazda/mazda_rx8/chrome_rx8.jpg

^ so...? you went to google images and found this MS 8 and put it here? thanks...

which part do you mean Ross? ill give it a go on photoshop

There is a little white in the bottom right there, but that rail or whatever that pink thing in the middle is what he means I think. But, I don't mean to be an @$$ and critique it is an awesome photo! I have never been to a place like that in my life.

That's just the new guy, he's 14 and doesn't own one yet.

Ya I just don't know how to get rid of that rail. Anyway the 3 pics weren't supposed to be for a panorama but i thought they might work, so the image is a little off ie: the top left and bottom right

Thanks fahrfegneugen for the compliment. If you ever get a chance to visit Hawaii make sure you go to Maui or Kauai but stay away form the tourist spots, there is much better scenery elsewhere.

When i go in August I'll try to do an HDR of a bigass waterfall, i think that would look cool

Sorry I didn't know you have to own an RX-8 and post real images of it not Google.:)

Read first post. That always helps.

Ross check it out

if i had the full res version itd look better though

that looks way better dude! thanks.

Did you just cut out that part and shade it or what? I don't have photoshop so i don't know... looks sweet though

Did you use a polarizing filter?

I just used the clone stamp tool. Copied part of the background then pasted it in the place where the rail was.

Alright I was really bored this morning and decided to climb the hill behind my campus. I still need to buy a tripod; my hands are really shaky.

Wow, it is still brown where I live...

I thought Washington was really really green about this time... I have family in Seattle and when we fly in for Christmas it is really green out...

Yeah, but I am near Pullman, which is on the east side of the state. It is always green in Seattle, since it rains so much. Where I live it is just rolling wheat fields.

Here are a few pics I took in February last year on my grandfathers farm near Walla Walla. It basically looks like this here.

wow i guess there is brown up there! lol good to see you're using renewable resources :)

That is the biggest wind farm in the country from what I know, and then we have all of the hydro electric dams. Someone has to feed the energy hungry Californians, lol jk

Na, that pic was taken behind a road course in Indiana.

I saw the "41" and surroundings and thought you might have been on some kind of rally course.
