Joe Muscara Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Then he moved and stood up on his back legs looking at me and I took this picture. That's pretty scary, Mike.

xKnuckles Posted September 14, 2014 Share Posted September 14, 2014 Great shot of the WTC, Mike. Didn't realise photos could look that good from behind glass. Also LOVE the bee. Particularly as it looks so totally different to normal friendly bees; much more sinister from that angle. Inspired by these amazing macro insects, I had a go at photographing a spider last week. This was a challenge, as I am instinctively frightened of them. He was particularly large, interesting looking and had a beautiful web. After a few false starts I got as close as my iPad would permit and took a reasonably focused picture. It was not an enjoyable experience though - too on edge in case he suddenly leapt onto the iPad..... Then once I had the picture, I realised that I couldn't bear to look at it, let alone attempt to process it in any way. This was an unpleasant surprise, as I had enjoyed looking at the beautiful spider picture here a few pages back. Anyways, I did the only sensible thing I could: deleted it. Think I need to start with less intimidating insects. Problem is, most of them are too small for the iPad to cope with.... Quote "Turn your fingers into a dust rag and keep them keys clean!"

KenElevenShadows Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 This is a photo of the glorious Milky Way arcing across the night sky over Delicate Arch, Arches National Park, Utah, USA. I light painted this night sky photo to heighten the grandeur and drama of this most amazing rock formation. How it stays up, I'm not sure, but I for one am glad it's there. Really fantastic experience. This is a large high-res version of this photo. I hope you like it, KCers. http://500px.com/photo/83687707/door-to-infinity-by-ken-lee Quote Ken Lee Photography - photos and books Eleven Shadows ambient music The Mercury Seven-cool spacey music Linktree to various sites Instagram Nightaxians Video Podcast Eleven Shadows website Ken Lee Photography Pinterest Page Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xKnuckles Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 I was wondering if anyone had upgraded to iOS 8 yet and had tried out the camera. I believe there are supposed to be some improvements. Have any of you done this? What is the difference (if any)? (I am not planning to upgrade for quite a while UNLESS I hear that the camera has amazing new features.....) Quote "Turn your fingers into a dust rag and keep them keys clean!"

wjwilcox Posted September 19, 2014 Share Posted September 19, 2014 Really like your photos Bill, especially the rotunda & timeless. Thanks, xK. The Rotunda is as the University of Virginia in Charlottesville (designed by the heretic colonist Thomas Jefferson) and Timeless is at the abandoned town of Thurmond, West Virginia, now part of the New River Gorge National Park.

xKnuckles Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Hi Joe. Yes - on an iPad Air. I was very much hoping they might include an ability to change the aperture....or the shutter speed...... Would you say it is worth upgrading to get the new camera features?

Joe Muscara Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I don't know if I'd do the upgrade for just the camera. Still, I haven't played with the "new" camera much.

lightbg Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 I am NOT a photographer by any means ( can't draw a straight line with a ruler and pencil......fortunately, my wife and oldest son are art teachers, but I digress..... I am awestruck by the efforts of those that have contributed to this thread, so I felt obligated to add a pic in honor of the thread starter, Mike Martin. Last week was my 1st birthday that my kids actually gave me what I wanted: a GoPro Hero 3+ Black Edition. Since I fly R/C helis, I had to stick it under my Blade 350QX2 quadcopter and see what I could of my neighborhood.

xKnuckles Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I was recently in Prague and came across this fascinating building. It is called the "Dancing House" , and nicknamed "Fred & Ginger"; but to me the whole thing screams "Harry Potter".... It looks SO much like that building is trying to force its way out between the other two....
