I am not a photographer by any stretch of the imagination, but I liked this shot from my phone while on my recent weekend getaway with my wife.  This is Fort Fisher, North Carolina:

Moody and simple, I like it!

Adorama has a 55-200mm F4.5/5.6 VR factory refurb lens for $90, where it is normally about $240.  I've also considered getting a 35mm or 50mm prime F/1.8 lens for low light indoor stuff.  Since the kit lens already includes 18-55, I wonder which lens would be more useful.

I post my stuff to 500px.  I try to be good, but there are so many great photographers on 500px that it almost makes me want to give up.

I also post to Flickr, just not as often

Here's a couple shots from our latest dive trip to Cozumel....

Not a great shot photography wise but I was on top of the Bank of America Tower in NYC today for work.

Man...if that barrier/wall wasn't in the lower left, that would be an awesome shot!  Still cool though

So, for my recent Japan + Western Canadian trip, I borrowed a Ricoh GR1V from a friend of mine, and used a roll of AGFA Color Plus ISO 200 film for the below shots. With virtually no touch ups done to any of them, I think they turned out quite pleasing... oh, by the way, the first shot was taken in Hong Kong.

Pretty Pretty pretty pretty happy with this shot I took today with my iPhone 5S

I'd love to hear someone play New Millennium out of one of those huge pipe organs, lol!!

Much better, cool!

Thought some of you camera guys would be interested in this.

I curious to hear your thoughts. I don't know how revolutionary this device will be, but in time, do you think it's possible that telescopic lenses will be completely phased out?

I want to do an arrangement of framed photos for my living room, something like these:



or



But goddamn, framing is expensive.  One layout I have is 7 8x12 prints and 3 12x18 prints.  Frame pricing seems to be based on area, so no matter how I arrange the size and quantity, it is over $500 for the wall I want to fill.  I've looked at almost every internet framing site, and their prices are all pretty much the same.

Also, i don't want to crop any photos which are all 3:2.  Off-the-shelf frames are all stupid 8x10, 11x14, 16x20, etc.  If you want 3:2 frames, they are all custom, even though this is default photo aspect ratio.

Thought I'd revive the thread a little.

From my trip to Tokyo a few weeks ago, enjoy.

Wow those are lovely !

Glad I found this thread.... I'm an amature photographer taking photography more serious since a couple of years ago.

One of my favorite past-times is to take a walk in the night with my camera and my tripod shooting "blue hour" photos.
This year I added a fun bit of kit "a pixel stick", a long stick with hundreds of led lights that can be made to display an image "row by row", making photos like this possible:

Everywhere I go I try to bring my camera and tripod, even on vacations so that I can go out in the blue hour like here in Funchal about a year ago:

I also love shooting photos on a theme so I follow a couple of groups on Flickr that have weekly themes or themes spread out over the year.
This one was shot a couple of years ago on the theme "Silence":


Silence by Martin Sandberg, on Flickr

Unfortunateley I haven't had too much time for photography this year, even struggled and failed to take one photo per week..... hope next year will be better.

Oh... another shot I took on a theme is the one I use for my avatar. It was on the theme "Album cover" which I used to try out a lighting technique I had thought about for a while.... I was going for a kind of cover feeling like it was from the 80ties

Here's a couple shots from our latest dive trip to Cozumel....

Fantastic dive shots.... love that turtle... and the one with the diver is really cool although a little space on the bottom would have made it even better

Mind if I ask what gear you use?
