Oh, to clarify what I said about landscapes, I love looking at them, I just suck at taking them. Damn my uncreative mind!

Well then, here's a few for ya!

[jinp6301]

Woah, looks great! Where is that?

[Iron_Dreamer]

All three were taken on the eastern flank of Mount Dana at the easternmost edge of Yosemite NP.

Whoa indeed, these look a lot better then the first time I saw them, more color saturation, more punch, less haze.

That's the beauty of RAW files eh? The more I learn, the better they get

[Voltron]

Great pics Peter and Dan. And, Dan, I never thought of you as that artsy. I think your new HC name should be Grawktastique (but please no nude shots)!

[grawk]

/me posts several self portraits.

[Dusty Chalk]

Those are some really great shots, guys.

[Knuckledragger]

Whoa. Nice picture. I did a few like that, a couple years ago:

I was goofing around with my point & shoot digital, so it's nothing terribly serious. The thing below the headphones is a much-loathed Technics SL-1200 DZ, their ill-conceived foray into the CDJ market.

I don't know anything about photography but my younger brother is incredibly good. This is just some stuff he took at the beach today, but he has some really amazing stuff on his computer.

Kick!

[LFF]

Some very nice pictures guys!

I need to find the time to go take pictures.

[jinp6301]

jinp, thanks.

hungrych, your brother's pictures seem to have a wider than normal format, do you know what kind of camera he was using?

[hungrych]

He just cropped them like that, but he also had a wide angle lens.

Pics from the 8/24/08 HeadRoom & LA/OC Audio Society meet. I know these pics aren't exactly interesting but I wanted to demonstrate something.

1st pic taken by me with the Nikon D80 body and Tamron 17-50 f/2.8.

2nd pic taken by Iron_Dreamer with the Nikon D80 body and one of his lenses. See the work of the better photographer!

Asr, your pic imo is no better or worse than Dreamer's. You both were visually stimulated by the chandeliers and felt compelled to capture them in you own individual styles. Or am I just reading way too much into your comment.

Besides, the better photographer would have used large, hi-rez, fast black and white film and German glass.

Of course I'm talkin' Contrastique w/ a Hasselblad.

Well Iron_Dreamer was better able to zoom in without blurring the shot is more of what I meant.

And two selections from today's sunset. Couldn't decide which I liked better so here's both:

[grawk]

Contrast is better on the 2nd, color in the first. If I had to pick, I prefer the crispness of the 2nd.

Yep, read way too much into it.

Nevermind.

Oh btw , nice sunset pics.

[Iron_Dreamer]

Here's a shot I took on the drive home the other day. Made me really wish I had a tripod with me at that moment.

[Asr]

You and me both Dreamer, I had a great opportunity to do one of those too over the weekend but no tripod made me sad.

You have some nice surroundings there in The States. I would love to see that myself one day.

Meet my new camera (the one on the right):

My boyfriend picked up a box from where he had his own photography store before he joined his dad. 2 Rolleicords came along of which this one is in the best condition. I added it to my collection so now I can experiment with 6x6 for real! We have to go there soon coz there all still like 20 boxes left with cameras, 2 Leitz projectors and 2 large format (8x10") cameras, the latter probably not functioning anymore.

Really awesome playing around with that old stuff. Lot's of unfamiliar brands, lot's of solutions to "problems" nobody even wonders about anymore with all these cameras that take care of everything without you having to think about how things work or know when to press the shutter-release button.
