Photography Thread

Rules:

1. Images must be within' the appropriate forum constraints. Maybe the moderating staff will let some larger images fly, as long as they're not too large. I'll discuss this with them further; until then keep them the appropriate size.

2. Must be appropriate pictures. This means: no racial, crude or vulgar images may be posted. Also, pornography is not allowed as it is against forum rules.

3. Any inappropriate comments will be deleted. Criticism and how to fix ones image is acceptable, as long as the context of that message is not meant to harm the photographer's feelings. I just mean no comments like "That person is ugly! You are a horrible pixture takerz!" Any of that will be instantly deleted and infraction points will be given. We're all mature, let's keep it that way.

4. No stealing. Anyone caught stealing or taking credit for a picture that was not taken by them will have infraction points given and instant deletion of ones post. It’s always smart to have a watermark within your photo.

-----------------------------------------------------

Since a lot of us have pictures we want to share that are not xmods, i thought i should make a thread where we all can show are pictures.

keep them PG13

Donziikid Photography

------------------------

Photography has been my main hobby for quite some time now; coming up on two years now. My dad is a graduate from Florida Institute of Technology with a masters degree in photography and I have been learning tricks, tips and ideas from him ever since I picked up my camera. Between him and I we own both a Nikon D100 and a Nikon D2x. Along with those two camera bodies we own various lenses; two of my favorites include the 70-200mm and the 28-105mm. Along with being in the paper here at home my father has also had a few images published in some RC Flight magazines as well as RC Car and Action. One of them even made the cover page, I'll try to locate it online.

I've had a few photography classes inside of school and outside of school, so I could hopefully by now answer any questions you may have about a camera and how it works. If I don't, I can always ask my dad. Even with these many classes I still find myself not up to par with some and would like to improve my photography; so please, do not hesitate to critique my images!

I'll start with some of my older images:

Ford F150 Xmod. Doh! Talk about a major boo-boo; I left the timestamp on. Rookie mistake.
Mustang Xmod. Doh! Again, time stamp. Still, rookies get better and my next batch was hopefully better..
Donzi on Lift. There we go. A little better, eh? No time stamp, at least!
Fence. Too dark, don't'chya think? Yeah, me too. It'll get better..
Rose Bush There we go! Lively, bright and colorful. Looks much better than the rest.
All of those above images were shot in the summer of 06'. Way back in the beginning of my photography days.

Wine I These are a little better than the rest. Lots more of the darker colors.
Wine II. Needed a little more into the image.
Those two were little bit later on.

Decided to get a little crazy in these next few.
Firework Missle. Fireworks show out of a missle canister on a slow shutter speed.
Firework I. Neighbors fireworks display, always a major attraction on the river.
Firework II. Whoops, I'm still messing up!
Pyro. That one is just for all you pyros and pyris.
The above were taking during Fourth of July, duh.

Time to get into some macro, eh? That's what we're all interested in, is it not?
Xmods PCB. My first attempt at macro with the Xmods PCB.
Xmods PCB II. Second attempt at macro with the Xmods PCB.
Nikon. Another some-what macro of my lense cap. No strings attached! Lol.
130 Size Armature. This is why I'm doing stuff...nevermind.
2mm Shock Caps. Probably the smallest macro I've done to date.. Yikes!
Xmods Front Assembly. Haha. The blue looks really striking in this image, eh?
Above are all macro.

Time to get into the best stuff. These last few are all of my favorite images that I have taken over the course of these past few years.
Photogenic
Burnouts.
POWER! Let em' rip, eh?
Great Escape! The best getaway car, ever.
EX-GF 1. She was insane. Best Friend, tho.
EX-GF 2. She was amazing, lol. Stupido mistako..
----------------------------------------------

I'll be finishing this up later and posting more later. :)

Blaaaaahahahahha, CTS pics are developed!

But, until then: http://texanidiot25.deviantart.com/ I'll get to dial-up killing later this weekend.

Life is a busy...

But I <3 this Minolta. Lesson learned to use a lower ISO, but oh well, the ****'s still tight.

But guys, get rid of date stamps, and a bunch of macro shots of xmods gets tiring. Get creative ;)

Here's a few.

All of the pictures were from this past Saturday, February 9th 2008(of course!)

El Toro Loco had engine probs at the 2pm show EST, my friend went to that one, so he didn't show up to the 7:30pm EST show, American Guardian wouldn't start back up for racing, so his teammate, Anger Management had to race for him against Grave Digger, guess who won........Grave Digger!

Well, my girlfriend works at the local zoo here in town.

And, a guy came up with a 3 month old wolf puppy wanting to donate her, but the other wolves would have killed her.. so my girlfriend bought her from the guy, for $300 :eyecraz:

I hear that is really cheap though. Here's some pictures from when we first got her, to kind of recently.. this is just over a 7 month period.

3 months old in this pic:

Not the best of pictures.. if someone wants I will put them as links.

He was resting on my brother's shoe and hugging his "doll". How cute was he?! I took this picture on Eros's first camping trip. Taken in June 2006.

I have some pictures from a wolf reserve, but I need to dig them up on my computer pictures!

For online photosharing at 600x800 px. it doesn't matter if you have a 12.6mp or a 2.1mp, they're too small to tell much of a difference. The only place where MP matters is when you go to print images at a size larger than 5x6, like I print off pictures that are roughly 36x42 (poster size.).

Seriously. All my pictures are taken with a 2.0mp camera, and look at them. I let Photobucket resize them and they come out clear. My camera get's grainy when it's dark (the Digital one), but that's normal..

I'll try and get the film from my Pentax devoloped when I get money.

EDIT:
Here's a picture I took with my less than one megapixel camera phone this morning. Not super grainy, but no one can tell when you're looking at it from a iPod or a Phone...

I have a Canon, so take that Donzii!

since no one else will, i'm taking the liberty of removing all of the BS spamm posts in this thread.
no one cares what camera you use or what lighting you shoot in.
this thread is for pics.
feel free to add text but you'd better have some pics along with it.
this is "The Official Photography Thread"
not the "Official Argue About Art and Cameras" thread.

if you have something to add that doesnt pretain to pictures, take it to PM's.

no one was really arguing about what camera was better, we might have been playing around a little bit with one another, but it was all good fun.

I feel a photography thread is an appropriate place to talk about what cameras we may use as well as lighting, exposer, iso or flash settings. Since most of us using this thread consider our selfs hobbiest to photograph we actually do care about such things and they are helpful to use in our work. Trying to help a member shoot less grainy photos is not spam it pertains to the topic, and is helpful to other members who may come across it later on.

would you like me to quote the the posts that had hardly anything to do with photograghy????

recommending a camera or lighting is one thing, taking the thread completely off topic with 47 useless posts is another.

i'm willing to comprimise though,i can bring back some of the helpful posts but there werent many.

"All Seeing Eye." This is a macro shot of my dogs catarak. It changed color throughout seasons and even glows in the dark. He can't see out of it, so he barely even noticed I was so close to his face..

http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i2...s/DSC_0485.jpg

"Whinery." These are three wine stoppers that my whiney little brother turned over the past weekend on a lathe. My Uncle is a woodworker and likes to turn things on his lathe (pens, wine stoppers, etc.). They make a great Christmas gift. :lol:

+1

Help get others to take pictures is apart of the thread IMO.

Some pictures after the NY Aquarium, there was a beach so I got some pretty good pictures. It was about 40 degrees *F outside at that time.
Let me know what you think!

Pictures were taken today. It was amazingly quiet on the beach, I would have gotten videos of the peacefulness, but my brother was being annoying.

What I took:

These are all straight off the camera (except resize). I'll post up the pictures of our diver diving when they're edited and fixed. These are all the .JPEG files, I'll post up the .NEF files later. Much better quality.

tried some more indoor shots this weekend at my younger sister twirly thing show
out of a 170 pictures I got maybe 25 good ones
