Check out my photo's at this link. If anyone is interested PM for the site address or I guess you would be able to follow my link. It hosts pictures for free and I believe you can upload up to 2000 a month--free.

 

I know there are a bunch of people around who appreciate photography, here are some of mine....

Sorry about posting all the links, my original msg had linked to my password protected section--anyway here a some--I guess there is no way for me to give access to an entire photo album.

 

Anyway, Enjoy!

Cool! I love close-up pictures, really liked the one that I assume is splintered wood(?)

 

I've hardly picked up my camera this year :(

 

But I've put a lot of my pics on here (web site is ALSO something I need to work on this year!)

Great close ups, guys!

 

My Wife & I both like photography and go out together taking pics every so often.

 

Here's a link to a few of my weather photos. Nothing spectacular, but cool nonetheless:

All real nice stuff guys :thu:

 

Compact Diss, I too like your close up of the splintered wood :cool:

 

Base, your intro page is most impressive. :thu:

 

BiC, Are you the meteorologist? You could sell your clouds to BC Rich for a template for their fretboard inlays :cool:

 

My personal best is (I can't post) a shot of the Parthenon (yes, the real one) at night from a hill almost the same height accross the street bathed in white (shows kinda' yellow). Ectachrome 64 w/ Vivitar 70-150 Zoom 'n "matched" 2x, at about f5.6 at 30 second exposure, on a tripod of course. I had it cropped an inch or two from each side (on an 8 x 10) and then blown up to a 16 x 20. The large magnification caused the grainess to show, but in an antique gold frame (3 - 4 inches wide) it looks great,IMHO, like a parchment painting (not planned :( ).

Base we must have talked about photo's before because I remember viewing your site previously.

 

Bic, nice photo's. I used to take pics of clouds everywhere I went with the hopes of eventually making a coffee table books of clouds...plus I was making a book of my kids...plus plus plus...

 

Dave you gotta scan that photo!

 

A String, I have all the old tools too but I can't seem to get away from the digital--

 

Ok, I'm going to change the title of the thread to the official/unoffical players photo thread--if no one minds--I'd like to keep this going. I'm off on vacation this week to the White Mountains of NH so I hope to have many pics when I get back.

Cool shots, all...kudos to the holly shot and the "old New England house by the bay" from Compact...and the "angles" tree shade pic from A String. And BTW...A String, I also like the "pollution" and "open mine" shots. Funny thing about photography, it can show the beauty in ugliness as well.

Yeah A String, I did like the pollution photo. :thu:

A String you must spend a lot of time in high places...I like the angles and winter scene. The pollution is cool also.

 

The house in my pic above was taken in Rockport MA, and the shredded wood was actually a tree they cut down in my area to make room for a bank...

 

Here are some more...

Nice shots.

 

I do mostly underwater photography. No housing for my new Canon DSLR yet, I'm still using a crummy old digital camera. A few recent highlights:

is the guy on the left the Good looking one?

Note, I said "can"...not always does. A photo of an old withered European woman...but you can see the beauty of serenity in her eyes. That sort of thing.

 

You're right though. All we see from that picture is what we interpret as "ugliness" in a sideshow sort of way. The photo doesn't allow us (that I'm aware) to know these apparent twin brothers. Who are they? Are they criminals? Perhaps not.

 

Saw a special on TV a few months back about two sisters who were conjoined twins. "Siamese twins" if you will. Joined at the head. Inseparable. Joined in such a way that one, who had no use of her legs, was on a wheeled cart...her sister had to wheel her around constantly.

 

They were not pretty to look at. Not in our definition of "pretty". One had to get to know them throught the TV show to see that they each possessed beauty of a different nature.

 

My favorite "Twilight Zone" and "Night Gallery" episodes were those that dealt with our notions and prejudices concerning what we call "beauty".

i was just being funny. i found that pic on Koll guitars website. i have no idea who they are.

i agree about finding beauty in people and things that at first appear unattractive.

you can see so much in peoples eyes. children and older people have whole stories in thier eyes.

Definitely a good idea to keep this one running. I have some more close-ups of parts of my guitars (used one as an avatar for a while), I'll see if I can dig them up...

Enjoy them and let me know what you think!

Me thinks this is one of my favorite stops on Highway #7 near Marmora. Looks like the old Bethlehem Steel mine in Marmora.

 

I went here as a kid with my dad every time we travelled this road and I'd watched the tiny trucks circle their way out of the pit from the bottom. Years later after it closed the me and the members of the band went in through the fence and climbed the piles of rock.

Wally slid across a not so frozen mud puddle and sank to his waist. Mud puddle from a Yuke truck that is! :D

Cool pictures :thu:

I still think guitars are like shoes, but louder.

:eek: Nice work! It is the open mine in Marmora. My parents moved up there because my Mom grew up in Norwood and they wanted to be close. I'm up there about once a month now. BTW the water in the mine is now over several hundred feet deep. (Have to check the pics of the info board to get the exact amount).

*Bump*

 

BBC are running their Photographer of the Year competition, thought I'd post the link in case anyone wanted to enter.

 

Don't see anything there that says you have to be in the UK to enter. Think I have a suitable pic for the first category...

They look good, Blue. :thu: I wish they were a little bigger - some of the detail is getting a little lost on my monitor. :(
