photography -- post your own art or someone else's
 

photography is one of my hobbies. i don't have a fancy camera, i just use a digital compact cam, the pentax optio 4Si.

please post some pics of your own work in this topic, stuff you are proud of, maybe even stuff that's just amazing and pretty!

or just post some nice links to a website with someone else's work. here's a few links that i like myself:

• National Geographic
• Ansel Adams
• Ed van der Elsken
• Anton Corbijn

by the way, to make a photo clickable with thumbnail, use the following code (remove the :'s)

EDITED TO ADD:
oh yeah, and please don't use other people's pics on other websites or for commercial purposes. thank you :)

here's one i took last week on the supermacro setting of my cam, it's a peony:



and here's a crop of the picture above, the heart of the flower:

an archive one:

I'm don't have that great of an eye for photography. Thank God for cropping and other photoshopping tools. What I am good at is getting out the camera (Olympus 4040) to record memories. The fact that I am much more emotionally invested in one over the other really comes through. Watch.

Edited to add better quality image of Grass Pink and change caption.

Damn Frieda, you got some pretty killer detail for a "not fancy" camera.

I definitly don't have a good camera...an old 1.6 Mpix Kodak.

But here's a sunset from my new digs/floats.

Beautiful!

One of the best things I ever did was bying a digital camera (Canon Powershot S40). I like making macro's of plants and insects.
Here some "erotic" greens.

you guys rock, well done!
i love how everybody seems to have something with showing a certain atmosphere in their pictures, i love it when pictures give you a certain feeling.. happy or sad or lonely or whatever.. cool :)

This was in Hyde Park, London, about 4 years ago

For some reason I got obsessed with arches.
