The amateur photography thread - v2

[katmeow]

The original thread has been archived. Which is because there are many very cool shots in there. I couldn't see a v2 anywhere.

Thought it was time for a revival because I'd love to see what people have been photographing lately (and drool over what gear people are using).

This is one of mine from Angkor Thom, Cambodia:

I developed an obsession with doorways when in Cambodia - these are a few:

(Taken with a Canon S1 IS - I now have the S5)

Even though the this is overexposed, I really love the effect:

I think i may have posted these before - but that was 3 years ago .

In keeping with the Asian theme started, Hoi An VN.

Ooh, I'll join in on the 'doorways in Cambodia' thing. Here's one from Banteay Srea. It was taken awhile back with the S3 IS. In the market for a new camera at the moment (will probably cave and spend the $$ on an SLR). How are you finding the S5 katmeow?

On the same kinda theme:

OMG OMG OMG.

Many of those look like scenes from a Tomb Raider game.

Simply awesome.

^^ agree, great work guys.

Beautiful work everyone! :D

I think you're asking me, Fin I really like the S5 - but i've been a Canon girl for a while. I'm keen to explore, in more depth, the manual features. Once i've mastered them, i'll possibly move on to an SLR. I'd actually really like to buy a point and shoot camera, something compact as well.

Here are a couple more from more recent trips

The Queen's Birthday long weekend just outside of the ACT. I really like the composition of this one and the contrast between the full moon and the fire

On the way back to Victoria - an RX4

Badger Creek National Park (Near Healesville)

I'm in love with Macro:

These final three became a series - we had an amazing picture window looking out from our cottage and it made for a great few shots:

Morning

Lunchtime

Dusk

My boyfriend took this one - and i love it! It's of a fern in the national park:

If anyone is going to the snow this season, there is a photography contest on a friends website. You can win some cool prizes just for taking a few shots.
