Berlin, looking back towards Alexanderplatz. I was there in September 2006

Taken with a Cannon IXUS 60

I know it's not as fantastic as what others have posted....I tend not to have a good eye at taking pictures so when things actually turn out (like this one) then I get a bit excited even though by comparison it's fairly ordinary. It's my work computer desktop picture.

Is that a storm approaching in the background?

 

[AlphaCharlieID]

Yup... This is a photo on a hill behind where i live...

It was the mother of all storms!

 

[pillsnapa]

Do you live in Australia!?

 

[AlphaCharlieID]

yup!

Yes, im from Canberra

DQ your son has some talent there! I really really like those photos :D

yeah thats what i think. He has a real eye for light, angles and composition

I like AC's pics on page 11 and COTB's animal close ups are very well done

I wish i wasnt on dial up and can have this thread load quicker grrrrrr

bah. why is it when you save something to jpeg you loose quality?

anyway..

melbourne arts centre

a north coast beach..

and it wouldn't be my wanky attempt at photography without the trademark closeup of a flower..

and a couple of sports action shots... (go you dragons!!)

Fantastic shots Will. I actually really like the flower shot, amazing clarity.

not sure if i've posted this one, but it was taken during our tour of the Temples of Angkor in Siem Reap, Cambodia:

This holiday started my love-affair with taking photos of doorways.

New_beginning: I love that picture of the building!! Freaking awesome!

Hmm, my first post of photos from my new (well not that new anymore, but still kinda) camera. Being 35mm makes it more difficult to actually get them scanned etc.

Having a camera in Melbourne is indispensible (especially now that I don't have a car) as the amount of remarkable things you come across just walking the streets is phenomenal!

Here are some of my favourites.

Really good, Jill! I especially like the Volkswagon shot (i love VW's ) I know what you mean about having a camera down there... I took some great shots riding the escalators at Parliament station... A fantastic space!

New_beginning: I love that picture of the building!! Freaking awesome!

I love it too, the dark shade of the photo gives the impression that the building disappears into the sky, and the viewer doesn't actually know how tall the building is. :D The building, to me anyway, seems to have a life of it's own. It's really quite a dark (in mood) photo, and i really like that.

^^ Son's photos again. I wish i could take pics like he does

 

[drEaMtiMe*@#]

i've been trying to display these photos for ages, but the best that i can do is provide a link to the web album where i've managed to upload them.

playing around on photoshop with a picture that i took of a laneway in melbourne:

hope it works!

edit: fixed

 

[connor]

Doof, your first fountain picture is unbelievable.
Keep up the good work!

 

[doofqueen]

^^ I didn't take it. My near 12 year old did. Check out his others pics on the page before too. He's quite the talented one

I'm taking photography this year as one of my subjects so hopefully i'll actually be able to take some good pics soon and not just him lol
