Assorted Photos

Not wanting to hijack Satchmo's thread, I've decided to create a thread
to share some of my recent adventures during which I had my camera
handy.

These photos are almost 1600x1200 (and are only half the size of the
originals) and most are more than 500kb. So ... they are
thumbnailed but they are definitely not 56k friendly. I could
have made them much smaller, but a lot of the views would have been
less stunning.

Anyone else who wants to share some recent photos are welcome to post them here.

These three shots are taken from the summit of a small hill known as
Snake Mountain near the border between Vermont and New York
state. It's a pleasant 45 minute hike up to the summit, and my
friends and I did it recently in time to lay out a picnic and catch the
sunset.



This is a shot of my college's chapel. This was taken during the
first years' convocation ceremony, and I thought it looked nice.
I like the inscription.

I am actually an amateur photographer. I'm glad you started this thread! Check out any of my work at http://photo.dimebowl.com

I specialize in Nature photography. These are some desktop-able pictures I have.

here's a few of my faves

Of the pictures that loaded successfully, they look gorgeous. Many of the images did not load for me.

That's the benefit of living on the East Coast. It's green and there are actually seasonal changes.

Actually, Satch, it's just California. Oregon and Washington get plenty of different seasonal effects :smile: With plenty of greenary.

Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

Yeah I dont know why the Bermuda and Mt. Abe photos are busted. Hopefully they'll sort themselves out.

I really like the picture of your road Nickelplate, but I wish it was a
little more focused. Right now for its resolution it seems too
blurry for my eyes to focus painlessly.

From a recent trip to New York City:





Overpriced cups at Starbucks; Manhattan street corner; Perseus slaying Medusa at the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Okay rehosted the photos that were broken:

There's a great story behind this particular photo. Monday night
two of my friends and I decided to hike up Mount Abe right after
dinner, and camp out near the summit, then rise in time to catch the
sunrise and hike down and be back before class Tuesday morning.
We drove about an hour and a half and hiked about 8 miles total.
I made it back in time for my 9:30 class... it was awesome.
Unfortunately it was too misty to see the sunrise, but here's what it
looked like anyway:



These shots were taken in Bermuda a month ago:

Well, it was a new technique i was trying at the time: you blur the photo after using a Sepia filter (i made my own) and then you reapply an un-blurred copy of the picture over top of it. it makes it darker with more contrast and a weird focus to it.

[EDIT]

I re-did it just for you, Morphine. I blurred it less in the initial steps.

Looks better, I think. :smile:

Nickeplate, that definitely looks better. The blurring and
softness is subtle now, and it looks like an old photograph, not
something thats been photo edited.

Some borderline-good photos from a s**tty cam.

I don't like digital cams much, I'm much better with regular analog SLRs.

I really like the cliffs in the second photo, fraggard.

Why do I see this Image with the word PWNED on it.

I have a really useless camera at the moment, but I'm buying a better one before too long...

Hello there.

I absolutely love Central Park. I have this favorite memory of
playing frisbee in the rain on one of the fields (sheep something) and
it was just me and my friend. Everyone else was hiding from the
rain. We were running around in a grass patch in the middle of
this tremendous city.

It was a feeling akin to the openning scene in Vanilla Sky, but less creepy.

This is a picture of my dog, Molly the dog. She's a Catahoula, a rare-ish breed from the south of Louisiana. Her breed was here before most European explorers. They were companions to the Indians.

I would have put this in the art thread... ...in an atempt to revive it.

It may not be art as such, but from what I've seen there are alot of amatuer photographers here like myself.

"The greatest thing you'll ever learn is just to love and be loved in return." -- Toulouse-Lautre, Moulin Rouge

About a year before I bought my digital camera I had two events that I would have given anything to have been able to photograph.

1) When that piece of Russian space junk came down over the eastern seaboard I was lucky enough to have witnessed its re-entry over Washington D.C. It was the second most amazing thing I had ever witnessed in the sky.

2) About a year before that, I had the distinct pleasure of witnessing a cloud formation. It was at sunrise and the only clouds in the whole sky comprised this. It was a fully represented image of a Phoenix flying into the sun. I would have given my arm to have captured it in some way.

Sadly, nothing has happened since I got my camera, but I keep it with me just in case.

There is no history until something happens, then there is.

Underdog, you can see a bird-shaped cloud formation in my posts above!

I am not sure how you have your Snarkpit pages sorted but this is page 2 for me. As such I would like to remind you that page 1 is NOT 56k friendly. I let it load for a long time and still it never completed. There must literally be megs worth of screens on that one page alone.

I wish you guys would post ONLY THUMBS.

Why do my thumb images don't show up properly?

I put the url tag around an img tag...but it doesn't work. Can anyone give me a hint? Thanks.

This host will give you a wonderful code line to use here at Snarkpit. Try it.

imageshack was what I used, and the code did not work.

OK, my understanding is this. Link to the thumb, which links to the big image which ends the code line.

Try that.http://imageshack.us

A few shots I took recently. These were taken at a small port city that my ancestors lived in. 56Kers be warned: the originals are quite large (~200KB).

That rusty fishing trawler looks straigh outta HL2 man.

The last shot is my favorite. The industrial stuff on the shore is quite ominous.

I'm not exactly sure of the details but the machinery in the background
is used to load iron ore onto ships in these massive containers. It's
great to see the stuff in action.

I wish I was allowed onto the trawlers. Next time, I'm going to break in with a crowbar... A golden crowbar... yeah...

Pictures from Japan a couple years ago. (3 test rolls by me with
different styles of disposable cameras.) I have another couple really
nice shots, but I'll have to pull them off my CDs again.

I have a nice enlarged one of this shot in a frame.

Something went wonky with the snarkpit! notice my smiley little friend in the corner?

He must have an awesome camera... some of those photos were taken in
very quick succession (I'm thinking about the Culver City Baseball
photos).

He's using the Canon EOS 20D according to the bottom of the pictures, which from what I remember is a digital SLR. You can find some other really good digital SLR pictures at Daily Dose of Imagery.

Anyone recommend anything for cameras? I'm thinking of getting the Konica Minolta Z6, which looks pretty good.
