So who else on here likes taking photos? I haven't been able to take any outside lately because of my ill health, but its something I used to like doing.

My present camera is a Canon PowerShot SX210 IS and I don't know how to use all of the settings on it yet.

These first photos are taken on two visits to Cuerden Hall Park.

Re: Who else on here does photography?

Spoiler tags, please

Anyway, I used to take photos more or less half-proffesionally back like when I was 13... or maybe 14. In the end, I never went seriously down that road, and it just stayed a hobby.

I did take some good pictures back in the days, though

Re: Who else on here does photography?

I'd like to see them, as long as they aren't HDR. HDR stands for 'horribly deformed representations', because it looks like someone's taken a perfectly good photo and let a child scribble all over it with a crayon lol.

Do you have any favourites out of the photos I posted?

Re: Who else on here does photography?

I liked the two macro shots. The one with the tree has something as well. So does #4.

Thank you. Lots of people like the awesome tree trunk and the lakeside scene.

Re: Who else on here does photography?

The pictures by the lake remind of a place in Warwickshire called Compton Verney; it has a lake and trees surrounding similar to your photographs. I have a few eastern european friends who are really into photography and are always experimenting with different settings on their cameras, you should try to do the same too!

Thanks for sharing! ^_^

These were taken a bit further north than Warwickshire lol. And only one of by the pictures is taken of a lakeside, the other one's taken by the dragonfly pond.

Some people are actually surprised that I don't know a single thing about cameras themselves, lol.

I find the people who don't try or have next to no experience with camera take some the best pictures because they don't think about it too much.

That's pure luck only.

Finding the right scenary, the right angle, ISO, focus, lighting, that's the kind of stuff you plan and don't just hope for it to appear randomly.

 

[faintsmile1992]

Yep there's a lot to be perfected, but my picture composition is a natural skill I was born with.

 

[alphabeta]

I'll probably upload a few shots of mine. When?

Soon.

 

[faintsmile1992]

Well that could take forever, depending on how much of a procrastinator you are lol.

I have a flickr account, should you want to browse it : http://www.flickr.com/photos/30275111@N06/page11/ (the last pages have a lot of HDR though, but I hope some won't be simply 'horribly deformed representations').

Do you have any favourites out of the photos I posted?

I do too, A Lake Scene (very lively and I like the contrast) & A Fallen Tree Trunk (the kind of photo that allows me to see faces ^^). Thank you for sharing !

These are the ones I like the best, Teubier.

Wow alpha must say I'm quite impressed, you should have gone down that road. Really lately I've been thinking of "stealing" my mom's good camera and try to learn photography, you know I like to draw and all so I'd like to try other medias.

Haha, thanks for the compliment, but like I said, it was really more of a hobby than anything else. Ironically, I always wanted a DSLR camera, but all the pictures I ever took were made with a plain digital one. Photograpy is a great hobby, but I wouldn't take it as a job.

Nice photos, Faintsmile and Alpha!

Wanting to get a camera more and more.
