Random Photography thread

Recommended Posts

After reading through the How to Photograph your car thread I started thinking a thread to just post up your random photos for those who are into photography whether you use a DSLR or a camera phone. 

 

The photos can be of anything from cars to nature shots! Also if you want to share you camera settings it's always nice to share for those who are interested in that information.

 

Photos need to be somewhat current as well. Please try to just post a few pics at a time, not all the photos you have taken the past year.

Great thread and pics! 

 

I have been missing from the forum for some time. Been getting involved with Southeastern Guide Dogs in Palmetto, FL. Great organization providing guide dogs for the visually impaired and providing service dogs for veterans - they do this at NO cost to the recipients of the dogs and they do not receive any gov't funding. 

 

In addition to being a great cause and helping make a huge difference in people's lives it has also been a great opportunity to get some fun puppy pics. Here are a couple - these are taken with a Canon 7D keeping the aperture wide open and using as much focal length as possible to reduce the depth of field.

We are now volunteer puppy raisers with Southeastern Guide Dogs - so you may get to see more puppy/dog pics in the coming months. :-)

Those are awesome pictures Gary.  Can we ask how you learned?  Did someone teach you, a lot of trial and error or something else?  

 

I had a customer on a route that I had several years ago that did a lot of work for a lot of European magazines as well as National Geographic.  I noticed he was getting stuff from them and I just asked one day if he did work for them.  I knew he did a lot of photography and I just pieced it together.  He took me into his house and showed me all kinds of pictures that he had done.  He did the National Geographic cover photo of the Taj Mahal (several years ago).  Here is a link to his website.  Looks like he has moved from where I knew him.  I wasn't into photography at the time, otherwise I would have asked him to share some tips.

I have a canon xsi dslr that I'm still learning to use by reading books. I'm no pro but these are some I took that I liked. I'm not sure of the settings because when I go out I'll take around 40 pics trying different things.

These are a couple of my 07 TBSS I liked.

I self taught myself.  Like detailing, there's a lots of very good information out there (like Adam's great videos).  However, I've found most US photo magazines are more concentrate on gears rather than methods.  While UK's photo magazine (book stores like Barnes & Noble carries them) do a lot more of "How To" that actually teach you how to shoot & post process a shot.  I read a lot of those magazine when I started.  And also look at other people's work.  In the long run, that would train your "eye" for the composition/style.  

 

Example (see attachment), you saw a photo like that, and you like it.  Next time, you can try to shoot a similar shot like that too.  The more you see others work, the better you will be.  Flickr, 500px, are some of the good site to get started.

These are some of my favorites of my 01 WS6 TA. These were taken with my old Sony point and shoot.

This was with my dslr. The local troopers hassled me about no front plate so I had to put it on.
