Photon's Photos (Picture Thread)

[photonaholic]

Since it seems everyone is interested in my pictures, and it keeps derailing peoples laser threads, I felt it best to just start this one, and post my pictures here.

One of my "other hobbies" is amateur photography, I say amateur because I have never been paid for a picture yet and I sometimes need to take dozens to get one good shot.

I will start off with nature pictures, then later on with some motor sports and some critters.

Feel free to comment on any picture or pictures I post

These are all walking distance from my house..

Very nice Photon

They look great, you live in a really nice area, it looks like the lake district up North in the UK except sunnier.

Those are some really nice pictures. Looks like a great area that you live in. What camera model are you using?

 

[photonaholic]

Just a little 7 megapixel Kodak easy share, or Sanyo 10megapixel (looks like a re-badge easy share)

I really want a digital SLR, someday I will have one.

A tip from one amateur to another, lighting is everything. The last photo has the best lighting.

On the bee photo use a Gaussian blur for everything behind the bee and flower. Then turn up the saturation to make the bee and flower pop to the surface. If you have a photo editing program that is. If you dont have PS I heard Gimp works the best, and its free. If you want I can tighten up any photo you want.

My nephew used to do that chit on a Honda 250R trike. I'm amazed he never broke his neck on that 3 wheeler.

I have too many scars to list, only broken bone, crushed my right hand once.

A few summers ago my girlfriend was airlifted out of here, it was not pretty.

What was funny, she kept calling the paramedic an ass hole for cutting her $50 jeans off her.

When they got them off, all the firemen and EMT guys kept staring.. That part pissed me off. (she had on a lacy thong at the time)
