Popular Post Cy~ Posted May 28, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2017 (edited) Does anyone else like to take pictures of things that are weird, pretty, funny, or just plain unique? I consider myself to be an amateur amateur amateur photographer, and I try to snap pictures whenever I can. I focus on composition, because I like to limit myself to just one thing and, well, hopefully get good at it eventually. (At some point in the far, far future.) I actually love point-and-shoot photography, and I use a cell phone camera to artificially limit the tools that I have (again, to keep things simple). Eventually, I'd like to buy a polaroid (or whatever the kids call it these days) and get back into photography with an actual camera... Anyways, share your pics! (Just remember to use thumbnails (and spoilers) if the file size is ridiculous, otherwise the thread will become very painful for mobile users like me.) Note: this topic is only for pics that *you* have taken. [spoiler=Pretty pink flowers... ] [spoiler=More pretty flowers!] [spoiler=Looking through the trees, at a waterfall] [spoiler=Seattle's international district] [spoiler=The prettiest, pinkest roses...] Edited May 28, 2017 by Guest 3 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Nectar Posted May 28, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2017 Yes absolutely I do! I think we share a similar photography style, although I prefer to focus more detail on close up intricacies and take macro-orientated shots. Here are my favourites from the past year. I hope you like ^w^ ~I STRONGLY ADVISE PHONE USERS NOT TO OPEN THE SPOILER~ 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cy~ Posted May 28, 2017 Author Share Posted May 28, 2017 Can they be a bit edited because I cant take good pictures like at all... I think that they can be edited, and they don't have to be award winning either, as long as you feel like sharing them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Cy~ Posted May 28, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 28, 2017 (edited) More pictures! @zoop and I went to one of the local mountains, today, for some hiking. [spoiler=There was a bit of snow where we parked...] [spoiler=There was also quite a bit of mountain as well.] [spoiler=We walked the trail and went across a fairly questionable looking bridge...] [spoiler=To reach a fairly pretty stream, I wanted to jump around in it, but I was too lazy to ditch my shoes and socks] [spoiler=Found some questionable looking "stairs"] [spoiler=Which led to a place that we decided NOT to try to hike through] Edited May 28, 2017 by Guest 1 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeneyes Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Hmm nothing that good but... I edited two of them and then there Is the cloud! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cy~ Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 Hmm nothing that good but... Hmmm, but they are actually kinda good. I don't think the fact that they're edited takes away from that at all. Take more pics! Photography is like any hobby, you'll only get better with practice. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greeneyes Posted May 29, 2017 Share Posted May 29, 2017 Thank you I will! I will also share them to everyone on here too! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cy~ Posted May 29, 2017 Author Share Posted May 29, 2017 More pictures! Zoop and I went to a local park for what we thought would be a simple, easy "hike" on a paved trail. Well, we turned out to be insanely wrong and spent the next two hours making our way through a seemingly never ending mini rain forest. It was fun! [spoiler=This was our first clue that we were not in Kansas anymore...] [spoiler=The rhododendrons were in bloom and they were BEAUTIFUL to see...] [spoiler=The view could be pretty amazing, sometimes...] Photography: with my compact Canon S95 Point & Shoot camera. It's really good and great for group photos due to the wide lens. Great to put in a carry case with a belt loop. Pssst, hey, hey Optic~ Whenever you get a chance, Senpai, you could share your photos in here... (As a random side note, I really love the Canon S95 Point & Shoot (I have played with them but I don't own my own), and I actually think that I *may* have once owned the distant ancestor of that camera.) 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nectar Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 (edited) It was a roastingly hot sunny day out today, so I figured I'd go and take some pictures with my DSLR.

Cy~ Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 @Nectar Something went wrong, not sure what - either way, I think that you could fix it by reposting w/ thumbnails? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nectar Posted June 18, 2017 Share Posted June 18, 2017 @Cy~ Fixed it. I didn't put .jpg on the ends of any of the tags, so that is why. Thank you for trying to look 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How could you?! :largegasp: I have my best regards on the nails Why is everyone good at something especially Photography With everyone having the ability to take pics on their phone and edit, I think photography has become pretty common now. I love that everyone can do that now. If you have Instagram it makes it easier to have nice pics. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cy~ Posted June 18, 2017 Author Share Posted June 18, 2017 Why is everyone good at something especially Photography You too could be good at photography! Just start taking pictures, hahaha. Then, take a look at those pictures and learn to critique them. Get some books, read on online guide. Learn about the various components of photography, and then pick one to focus on. Then, start taking more pictures. Take a few more pictures, and then TAKE A FEW MORE PICTURES! Being "good" at something just means that you do it enough to feel comfortable with your own style and you can describe that style, basically. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orius Posted June 22, 2017 Share Posted June 22, 2017 Continued from last post due to 20-image limit: Golden statue of Monkey Riding Horse. Again, For Feng Shui This was probably a symbolism of my dad relying on me making something of myself, as he was born in the year of the monkey, while I the year of the horse.
