Haha, thanks, but I don't do anything more than point and shoot.

Those are 6 lucky good pictures out of more than a thousand I took in Hawaii.

Yeah, I saw that one -- wonder if incineration by lava flow is covered under your basic auto policy

It should be obvious which city this photo's from.

Seattle! My liebling city. Where did you take that picture?

Edit:

....oh. I just noticed the plane wing. I suppose you aren't a seattlite then?

From the cockpit of a PA-28-181 Archer. I got checked out in the aircraft during a week long visit to the city back in 2002. I was hoping to take it up and explore Vancouver also, but weather during my stay dictated otherwise.

No, but I wish. How can one not love the city that brought us Boeing, Starbucks, and grunge?

Most of the pics I take are of trains, particulary locomotives. I lack artistic skill when it comes to photographs, and it isn't easy anyway when you're trying to photograph objects travelling at 60mph

A Canadian Pacific SD40-2, well endowed with ice buildup.

A Canadian Pacific SD90/43MAC slowly pulling it's train past another.

A GO Transit F59PH and it's train bask in the sun at the Oshawa station, the eastern end of GO Transit's main line.

A CITI Financial-owned AC4400 leads a CP train through Whitby. Citi's locomotive lease fleet is usually used by CP and Union Pacific, who use them for "pooling" or for trains that are "handed over" from one railroad to another at interchange points

A Canadian National SD75I and two SD40-2s lead a manifest train through Whitby

A Canadian Pacific AC4400 hauls a fast "stack" train through the countryside

Two Soo Line SD60s sit on a "loop" track, atop an overpass. Soo Line is a wholly-owned US-based subsiduary of CP, and Soo locomotives can be found all over CP's system.

A VIA Rail P42DC "Genesis" pulls a passenger train over a level crossing at 90mph

A CN Dash 9-44CW leads a train under an overpass at high speed

A CP SD40-2 crossing a curved overpass. The damage to the overpass was caused by derailment back in January, which claimed the lives of two people whose car was crushed by a shipping container

I'm sure if I liked trains I would enjoy those. You should think about adding a little more character to your photos.

You should have expected that. Vancouver has horrible weather. It's the same drizzly overcast medium-temperature crap all year round. You can take a Vancouver weather report from February, broadcast it in August, and nobody will know the difference.

Well, one for three ain't bad

Basic picture of the front garden, using the afternoon sun for a lens-flare effect.

A picture of the morning sky, taken from the backyard with a digital video camera with only a mere 1 megapixel digital photo shooting, hence the crappy look compared to the other picture (which was shoot with decent 35mm film and scanned off the developed picture).

...Damn. The few photos I do have are unworthy.

-goes off to find the one really good sunset photo-

[EDIT] Found it!

Seggybop · Post by **Seggybop** » 2004-08-27 04:57am

I don't think this is a really good picture, and I'm not directly responsible for it (I only gave directions on what do do), but it's still relatively cool...

You didn't comment on my work. You want me to nominate a few specifically?
You also didn't answer Dargos' question...

I could have sworn I commented on your work.

InnerBrat: I like the fact you focus on nature (good for sharpening a skill) and you have a very good eye for composition and colour.

I thought Drago was asking you...

Anyway. No, I'm not a professional photographer, it's just hobby. There are people out there billions and billions of times better than I and I could never make money on it.

And as for the nominating I have no idea. I didn't start this thread.

Thank you that's one of the few pic's I love

Here's the pic in full res ~1mb

Dload here

Edit

And the silly thing is that this is the camera I used to take that pic:

Small APS camera

Now I have a superexpensive Minolta Dimage 7Hi and can't get a pic as good as that one

Here are a few miscellaneous pics

Not my best. but I just like this one.

How's that for use of the negative?

bohemianfey · Post by **bohemianfey** » 2004-08-28 07:44am

SoX: I really like both of your pictures, they're very interesting subject matter and they look wonderful.

Paul Skahyn: The first two are infuckingcredible. The first especially, it's just amazing. Where did you take that?

SoX · Post by **SoX** » 2004-08-28 10:09am

i was very bored about a minute ago.

bohemianfey · Post by **bohemianfey** » 2004-08-28 10:13am

That's beautiful!

SoX · Post by **SoX** » 2004-08-28 10:14am

i stuck my camera on burst mode,, had 20 pictures of my flat mate eating pasta, a pic of a sanmiguel bottle and 5 of that weird plant from outside the door. I want a better cam but that wont happen in the near future, money is quite tight.

Thailand. I just wish I had gotten the bow of the boat.

I took this one with my 110 camera back in 1984.

bohemianfey · Post by **bohemianfey** » 2004-08-28 03:46pm

I'm totally digging the shot from 1984. It's got a certain dynamic about it that I can't put my finger on. Tres magnifique.

I wish I had my pics that I took when I was in Ireland, but sadly that entire envelope of photos just vanished.
