ILPhoto Gallery (a thread to show off your pictures)

Another little obsession of mine is padlocks and the trip I've just been on has probably cured me of that too - specifically, passing over the Hohenzollen Bridge in Cologne. For old times' sake, now that I've lost interest...

After Copenhagen, I need never take another photo of a Brooks bicycle seat:

Happy to take more pictures of buildings like these though:

I love that kind of stuff.

Back from NYC. Shattered. Not slept in about 36 hours.

I went to Norway and took some pictures.

That's no ordinary dog, that's a dog hanging out in a sleeping bag at the top of a mountain.

No Photoshopping, no cropping, just a bit of contrast & exposure adjustment in Aperture and otherwise straight out of the camera. In other words, pure luck.

19 pigeons were resting on Em's parents' roof; we put food on the lawn for them, they came down, I startled them and snapped away. This was the result. It looks like time-delay superimposition of one pigeon ascending, but is three, genuinely, caught in a moment.

nice. like the cool white balance too.

just got back from a holiday in cornwall. here's a picture of some rocks:

This seems popular on flickr, i wasn't sure about it, but it's grown on me.

Merci.

Great shots! is that view from your home or work?

Tremendous parade shot - that's pressworthy.

Found this one from my trip to SF last February. I was on the point of Alcatraz looking back, and thought what I was seeing at a distance was a fog bank rolling in.

Instead it was Noah's flood, soaked me to the bone, destroyed my umbrella - but did nothing to my Nikon thank God.

photo would be good, I guess:

I love that.

Borrowed an ultra-wide zoom for a trip back to my old hometown recently (ostensibly to document the interior of the house where I grew up - I handed the keys back to the landlord that weekend) but any outdoor shots were hampered by relentless greyness and drizzle... But if Milo Z can cope with a SF storm...

I really like that.

Canada Day yesterday in Trafalgar Square, Richie Hawtin DJ set, mini-hockey, etc - but the real entertainment was provided, pretty much unbidden and surely unpaid, by this woman:

I'm going to try and post something every week to this thread, not necessarily new stuff (or even good stuff) but, y'know, to keep it ticking over and encourage others to contribute.

when I get my life more orderly, I'm going to work on doing a project 365, so, um, fourthed.

365?

good luck with that, you'll be surprise how many people start that and give up.

Would not be surprised at all about the giving up! It will be extra hard for me, because even when I'm shooting I tend to wait a month or more before I start editing (unless I absolutely have to get on it). Will have to get in the habit of shooting RAW+JPEG for the times when I can't put in a lot of editing work.
On the positive side, new iPhone camera is a vast improvement over any camera phone I've had before.

speak not of telephone on photography thread!

i hope you do it, it takes a lot. are you shooting specific subjects or just capturing something that catches you eye on a daily basis.

think I'm gonna settle for weekly

365 too hard and I am waaaaay too lazy

there's loads of self portrait 365's on flickr, i don't know how they do it. taking a new random picture everyday can be time consuming, but to have to think about it, shoot and edit everyday must be a full time job?

been so busy working on my website i have only made it 7 more pics into my set from Egypt.

that looks like a model!

re: 365, one time i took a photo an hour for a week. not exactly riveting tbh:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/ledgr/sets/72057594143533005/

thinking about it, could be a project better suited to a holiday, than a normal hum-drum week.

yeah, maybe a 24 hour journey or something?
tis a good idea, but needs the right setting...

Still going through old stuff that's just turning up. Alcatraz viewed from Pier 39 IIRC. Not very good small, since The Rock blends into Marin County, works a little bit better printed large.

I should totally pirate CS5 and use their new reality altering feature to make Sausalito disappear.

I've borrowed an 85L and a 17-55/2.8IS this last week and shot a wedding, so I've a huge stockpile of images now...but none I can put here. So here's one from the first day I took the 85L out last week...
