who's an amateur photographer here?? show your wares!!

These are in Canberra..

The bottom photo is old parliament house..

I think they are willows... I never really paid attention when they have leaves on them...
 
They're lovely photos... you've also inspired me to go back through my photos of our trip to Cambodia and convert some of the temple pics and others to B&W. It totally changes the photos, but i'm not sure if i like them in B&W?

This is the tallest tree (strangler fig) at Ta Phrom (where Tombraider was filmed)

Actually, no, i prefer them in colour, there is far more depth to them.
 
They are good photos!

I love B&W photos...

I have dug up all my old photo's i took around Canberra.. Just loading them up... shall post for your lovely eyes!
 
Here is the colour version of the middle photo, which i like better, due to the lushness of the foliage in the centre, which the doorway "frames". There were so many "doorways" in the temples, some that went nowhere, some that framed things, i took so many doorway pics.

Here is one more i've converted (i don't have full access to all of them, as i'm not on the home computer)

This one, to me, is really striking, and would lose that if converted to B&W (IMO). It's the northern (?) gate of the Grand Palace in Phnom Penh, Cambodia:

I really like that one - i think it's the blue sky.
 
That last pic is fantastic! It took me a second to figure out what it actually was (before i read the text underneath [wink])

I also have a thing for rock formations, and have a huge amount of random rock photos, but i like these 2 (taken on Koh Yao Noi, Thailand):

I usually don't like taking photos of building/architecture, but the temples really moved me and there were so many great photo ops... it was hard not to take a good photo in Thailand and Cambodia. [smile]

Yeah, i thought so too, the contrast between the stone and the foliage is awesome.

If you want to see more Thailand/Cambodia pics, there are a heap in my Bluelight journal.
 
They are fantastic!!!

I love rocks too... Love love rock pools...

Am going to try and steal my house mates camera and go nuts tomorrow
 
Thanks! My camera died (Canon S5 IS) so i'm in the market for a newie... can anyone recommend anything? I'm keen to explore the world of dslr photography, and while i like canon cameras, if someone has a good recommendation for another brand, i'm open to it. I want to get it by July, as i have a date with a certain Sydney laydeemod to go on a pic mission when the Mr & I are down there next month.
