ILPhoto Gallery (a thread to show off your pictures)

Prompted by Joe on the Flickr thread on ILE.

I don't think we really have a proper picture thread, so this is it. Link to stuff you fancy showing off on Flickr, Photobucket, your own website, wherever. Invite constructive criticism, show us what you're up to lately, technical compare'n'contrast, ask for advice or just make people jealous with your holiday snaps/studio images of beautiful people. Anything goes as long as it's a photo you* took. SFW is a good idea too, I s'pose.

(* or partner, kids, close personal friend...)

I know these threads become browser-killers in time, so we can perhaps have ILP Gallery 2: Amusing Sequel Name, etc in the future.

I took all the photos on waldenplantation.com - they did some lolPhotoshop on their own to add grass in a few places that were still bare dirt

Aside from needing pictures of the B&B from all angles, different rooms, etc., the only thing I was told was that Brian (the owner) desperately wanted photographs of the house chicken salad. It was the best salad ever, blah blah blah. Watched the chef make it: greens from Costco, frozen chicken reheated in the microwave. FANCY.

Chef ought to be in scare quotes, btw. Dude is also the primary housekeeper.

I'm not sure you're going to get any repeat business from these people, Milo. Great work, though. Boy, they've stretched it thin..."Longhorns and landscape" shares half of its photos with "Fly-fishing" and the same ones appear again in "Kayaking", etc. Bless 'em.

Not sure I can share stuff I've done "professionally" (and those are massive inverted commas), but these are a couple I did for a friend's website about six months ago (and this thread reminded me to put them on Flickr). Not great but, y'know, it's nice to work to a brief for a change.

A little Nat Geo but dude was really chill.

Came in here kinda excited to share some images, but discover than my last contribution was also extension-tube macro with bounced flash. Oh well. I didn't endure the worst case of pins'n'needles known to man not to post this though (kneeling on floor, trying to fine-tune focus with sticky Vivitar lens...)

what's wrong with the rabbit?

It must be fucking freezing!

nah, those guys are built for the cold.

those are some lovely wintery snaps indeed!

an oldie (end of october) but of late i've been carrying a camera with me and this is probably the best photo i've taken:

Superb!

(Are you a Flickr contact of mine?)

me? i've just added you now.

btw, how do you make the picture link back to your photostream in bbcode?

I've added you too (though most of my/our stream is private photos of our daughters and their neighbourhood chums).

Very impressed! And jealous - D3, Kristin Hersh, Kingsway Tunnel, just the general skill on show...

btw, how do you make the picture link back to your photostream in bbcode?

All Sizes > Medium (is best, I think - Large would prob by resized by this board) > copy and paste the HTML from option 1 and hit the convert button below.

thanks!

the pix here are all lovely but michael jones is some sort of insane photography mentalist. both the london bridge snaps, of a station i've seen thousands of times in my life, are wondrous and deeply resonant to me. four lights in a row in the night one are basically god's judgement peering out of the sky and saying 'we see you'. and joe you did extremely well to find that monument on a day that cloud was there :D

You're very kind, sir. I don't think I'm much of a photographer really - just a snapper who geeks out a bit on the gear and has a modicum of technical nous. I'm in awe of the real talents/people who do this for a living (and there are a few on ILX, I think).

We probably need more people shots on this thread but I know how tricky that is. Even my own children hide from the camera these days.

Got to catch them while they're too young to protest!

http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2715/4255735743_d20e41eb13.jpg

Gorgeous. I remember thinking when I saw yr wonderful photos of S3th last summer that I really wish I'd had a DSLR for the birth of my girls! We did OK with the little compact (those labour wards must be better lit than I recall).

i got loads of ppl pics in uganda, but they are all lol nat geo

nat geo ain't no lolling matter, as far as I'm concerned.

I can't do street photography to save my life - way too timid - and yet it's my favourite stuff to actually look at. Unless it's photography of an actual street (manholes, padlocks, gutters...) - I can do that.

I'm using these to publicly shame her on Facebook.

The Lord's work.

i'm looking forward to at least 12 more dissolving pumpkin photos before this gets resolved!

I checked, not enough change today to merit documentation. Maybe tomorrow...

What a lovely girl. Out of my age range entirely, but so willing to smile for the camera. She knows they're gonna love her.

Nothing special, but the first film I've gotten back in ages. Portra 400 in a Bronica SQ-A. Ehhhhhh scans from Precision Camera in Austin (better than Costco scans, but I hope I could do way better with a Epson V700)

It's nice to be getting results after a drought.

that 2nd shot! nice work

And that's pretty remarkable light that I would imagine is tough to get right!

woooowwww I love them both so so much

Thanks guys, i purposely went out the morning after bonfire night knowing it's always misty. The light was only good for about an hour before it became too bright and cleared the mist.
Well worth it though.

One of the great things about that stag shot is how it's layered. There's no continuous foreground-to-background view. Instead, there are five or six discrete levels of depth. It's spectacular - well done!

milo: I honestly can't decide if I like that shot better in color or b&w. I think it's pretty excellent either way. I'd be proud of it.

And goodwin's moose is freakin' stunning.

(At least I'm pretty sure that's a moose... perhaps a young and small male?)

RIP little pumpkin

In my head, I'm singing "Goodbye pumpkin" to the tune of "Goodbye Horses".

definitely not a moose

some great photos posted recently!

ha ha, what's that? was a television involved?

i just shot a roll of film of a bunch of people i only get to hang out with once, this sunny fall day, then found the roll didn't spool. just want to punch myself in the face. i always suspect it's happening when it happens, too, it's devastating. dammit.

one way I check that is by winding on a stroke, then rotating the rewind crank until I feel resistance, then shooting and winding on another frame. if I see the rewind crank spin, then I know I'm good

Exceptionally high standard on this thread of late. I barely have anything to offer...

Took a bunch of photos at fireworks/bonfire parties the weekend before last; got some fairly successful firework shots but I quite like the aftermath feel of this one:

Saw this guy on my way to see Momus:

http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6240/6344376242_05746f661b_z.jpg

Bummer about the roll, schlump! I think I related a similar experience upthread (or in another thread maybe?). I figure everyone's probably got at least one not-properly-loaded-roll story, and also probably an opened-the-camera-without-rewinding story. The latter one happened to me once, and I just kind of stared at the film dumbly for a second before slapping the camera back shut in a panic. I've caught myself starting to open a camera once or twice before realizing what I was doing.
The joys of film!

And a couple of recents:

thanks, dayo!

I'm continually impressed with the new shots posted here. who knew ilxors were so talented?

I hate how flickr shows a broken link if you replace an image. The photo looks good!

Aperture must have been doing some syncing shenanigans while I posted.

LOVE that last one.

Just searched for this one within my Flickr stream for another purpose; weird framing (it was taken through a wire mesh fence) but I do like it anyway. All that was left when our local thrift store burned to the ground in 2002 (Canon Ftb, 50/1.4 lens, Kodak Gold 200):

It's annoying when that happens (especially when there's no reason for it) and I bet no one can be bothered to click through, so I'll have another go.

Ok, I give up. Can anyone see them?

If I click through, yeah. I like how the piano's remnants are propped up with that charred bit of wood.

I wonder what's going on? I'll try a more recent image (Sept this year)...

http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6177/6167159189_5265c3e871_z.jpg

Shows up just fine. Cool perspective.

Wonder if there's a bit of a time limit operating on Flickr images? Stuff that's too far back in yr photostream doesn't show up via embedded HTML? That doesn't really make sense though...
