The photography thread

[Erik]

I just went out and took some pictures of my nearby forest in autumn. These are not half as gay as BWD's pics of autumn forests though... Since I know Sorath takes a lot of forest photos and NAD (or was it?) is interested in photography etc, and I'm sure some of the other people here are, I thought I'd start this thread where people can post their pictures. Here are mine:

Enjoy...

Nice. You even managed to capture a troll in one of them.

NAD has some excellent photographs also. He sent me a bunch - when I set my scanner up, I'll digitize them, otherwise he might have electronic copies himself.

A view from my balcony.

this one strikes me as being cool

 

[JayKeeley]

It would be cooler at 25% the size!

 

[Black Winter Day]

no it wouldn't

it should be bigger

 

[Erik]

The camera actually takes pictures that are 2x the size of those shown... But I'll spare JayKeeley the pain

http://hem.passagen.se/infernaldepths/pics/skog/ holds a few of mine, but I haven't got that many online due to a combination of laziness and lack of server space.

I took some pictures of two raccoons that visited me last night on my porch, it was surreal. They kept coming back and were highly interested in my flash.

My small gallery, only a fraction of the nature shots I have taken though, as I don't have a scanner and digital cameras are teh suck: http://www.customtacos.com/gallery2/showgallery.php?ppuser=560&cat=500&thumb=1

I'm looking through ya'lls galleries, very nice photography. I want to visit Sweden.

EDIT: Yeah, my gallery is a truck site, hence all the pics of my stupid Toyotas. That's the only place I have to host images though.

Today marked the arrival of the winter's first snow in Umeå. I took some more forest pictures, in perfect silence:

Well, almost perfect; only with the distant buzz of the power transformation station...

http://hem.fyristorg.com/ecco/vinter/ <-- Some more, but most didn't turn out all that great.

 

[NAD]

Heehee, nice powerplant. Is that first one the same location as the one BWD pointed out?

 

[Erik]

Nope. It's not far from it though and it looks mostly the same. They're man-made ditches, which makes them less grim than they'd be if they were natural streams... But whatever

Those are just so grim ..

You should set up a website selling these pics to bands for their CD inserts ... tr00 bands only!

Either way, those pictures in particular are really awe-inspiring. I looked at that for a while before replying here...

 

[NAD]

You know what is fucked up, it was in the mid-90s here this past weekend, even the mountains had temp in the 80s. I love the heat and all, but it's fucking October!!! That's why I want to move back to the desert, sure it's 115 degrees in August, but those locations get snow every few years too.

 

[Hell Mike]

I just took some pictures of the aurora borealis; fucking beautiful, too bad it doesn't look really good on pictures (taken with my camera, at least).

You know, for those people with 12" laptop screens, those supersized images fail to make any impact...

 

[Erik]

If you had a proper browser it would kind of resize the images on the fly to the proper size and let you zoom in if you wanted to :Smug:

 

[Hell Mike]

Standard resolution on my camera is 1660x1200 and I see no reason to change it (Except to fit your huge screen)

 

[JayKeeley]

Höh. You can change the sizes of images in your browser? That rules for sure.
