what do you see like: 2012

One for my "to do" list, getting a shot of lightning.
Not that easy in the UK, our storms consist of a little rumble and one weedy flash of lightning.

Yeah, that was taken right on the coast of Cyprus last week. We had a night of thunder and lightning followed by another night of seeing lightning flash over the hills and out over the sea. Never seen anything like at home in Blighty :(

No lightning, just cold.

very nice tones !

On the Parenting board, Tallulah would be in focus. Here, it is the sparkler.

Nice! I've just been trying to take sparkler photos too!

Consistently great stuff from Mr Jones.
Wasn't sure about this (as with the majority of my shots), but i was advised ok.

Another from a cold foggy morning.

It's nice and grim.

That's seriously lovely.

Gorgeous!

That's great. Love how the top half and bottom half are these totally different worlds but equally complete in terms of tonal range and interest. Could have some fun with crops on that one.

that is amazing!

I was really bored while my internet was out at home so I went through my (relatively few) color shots and turned up the saturation to 11 on all of them

gross I know, but w/e

I like those! I've been trying to be a little less timid with the saturation slider...I'm too worried about overdoing it and don't realize when I'm really doing the photo a disservice by underdoing it, especially when shooting RAW.

3rd one is particularly nice.

orange/yellow walls, green floor <3 !!

in other words, my vote for #2

awesome. totally not gross.

I ignored the signs that said there could be a $1000 fine for jumping over the big concrete flower container and walking on the roof itself. Yeah, like they're really paying that much attention. And besides, some pictures might be worth $1000, even if not that many words.

Yep.

Also, not_goodwin, this place where you take nature photos (like the last one -- the castles are clearly countryside) is that a national park or a local/municipal park or magical dreamscape or other?

ty guys - you all are too kind! the rest are on my facebook

kenan that is some v impressively detailed pics - is that just using a single exposure?

Kenan that's the library! Where were YOU?!

I have packed up my scanner and will not use it for at least three months, so I can actually focus on some important things like making music and, uh finally getting a better paying job.
meanwhile I'm making photo dumps directly to facebook: http://www.facebook.com/altairnouveau/photos_stream
hoping that what comes out of this is a better, fresher view of my pictures when I finally get around to looking at them down the road. not gonna slow down taking them by any means.

omg the saturation up to 11 ones hurt my eyes but they're also GREAT and I love them

DAYO ARE THOSE KODACHROME

lol no - kodak slides and negs

I think everybody should just live in really colorful cities why do Americans hate color

awesome. totally not gross.

^^^!

they remind me of i guess MF or fine grain shots, where the colour is super thorough & vibrant. & they're really nicely framed; afaict the only downside is their uncomfortable aesthetic kinship w/the last gaspar noe film

thought that was a crop of Playstation cover art for a second

another from a while ago from crosby beach, it's nice to turn your back on a sunset sometimes.

Trippy. Love the lighting and expressions in both sets.

Here's one from a while back:

that's real?!

dope peacocks in gr80's gifs, peacock from bizarro

Yep, it's real!

That's pretty stunning bizarro, beautifully composed.

You on flickr?

Peacock shot is nuts. Do they really have halos around the "eyes" like that? Gorgeous.

Thanks guys. He was a beautiful bird - wish I could have captured the shimmer of the light on the feathers of his breast but I'm pretty pleased with how it turned out anyway.

not_goodwin, I am on Flickr but I've let it pretty much lapse. I haven't updated in over a year. Mainly I've been using Blipfoto, a pretty cool community which encourages you to upload a photo a day. Trying to be disciplined about shooting something every day has really had an impact on the way I look at the world - since I have my X100 with me all the time I'm always looking for a picture. I've shot a lot of stuff I'm proud of which I'm 100% sure I'd have missed out on without the combination of the website and the camera.

I'll have a look at Blipfoto, thanks. I'm getting a little fed up with flickr, I'd say about 70% of my shots are viewed from an "unknown source". I keep finding my shots all over the web and especially on tumbler.
The vast majority of the ones I do find, do link back and about half of that actually put my name under it. It's the ones I can't find that concern me.

A friend said if you don't want your pictures nicked, don't put them on the internet.

Yeah, sound advice unfortunately. Have you used Tineye to track your pictures?

I'm about to, cheers.

gonna agree that the peacock image is super nice

Hooray, left 8 rolls of negatives in the cab last night

fucking shit

did you get a receipt?
