PostSubject: Get your camera out   Tue May 27, 2008 10:53 am

How about a thread for pictures? I've seen some interesting shots by April, and I'm sure the rest of you have some. I'll start it off.


This is a picture of the water running in my shower. I used a high shutter speed and flash, to freeze the motion, so you can see each drop of water. Check out the full size version to really see it.

The picture is on Flickr. Are you at work? Do they block Flickr at your job?

I was looking at the palm tree thinking it was a pile of rocks before I read the caption. I love how close-ups can transform objects.

The sub entrance looks like it would be in great black and white without the posterization

I wish a camera was in my possesion when I was Downtown in Detroit this past winter. As me and a friend were walking past a resturant that was recently closed down, she said "look."

I promise- A sign said "Fresh Squeezed Kool-Aid"scratch
What fruit does that come from?????????

I was taking pictures of performances tonight when I noticed that this girl was taking pictures too and the smoke in the air was making the beam of her flash visible. I set up my camera on a ledge with a long exposure time and waited for her to take another picture.

Do you know alot about photography? You know how to assemble a portfolio? I am gonna apply to grad school for their MFA program and do photography, but I don't have any experience. It would be nice to have some feedback on my work and some tips on making a great portfolio.

I've been teaching myself about photography for several years - reading, experimenting, etc. I've never taken classes or anything and there are deinitely gaps in my knowledge. I'd be glad to share what I do know and what I think of your pics.

I know nothing about putting portfolios together.

What kind of camera are you using? What kind of photography experience do you have so far? What about experience with art in general?

[/Well...don't laugh, but i use a digital camera. a Nikon, 5 megapixels.

What kind of photography experience do you have so far?
i have no experience at all with photography. i just know i like taking pics and i think i have a good eye. i get alot of compliments on my work as well so i fgured i try to do it professionally. I've bought a book on digital photography recently and am learning a little as i go. but i do not know anything about exposures and shutter speeds yet. i haven't gotten to those chapters yet.

What about experience with art in general?

i have no formal experience in anything art except for theatre. i did take some animation classes at Uarts when i was in high school cuz i was really into cartoon art. i used to draw, but like i said i wasn't trained. it was just a gift i suppose.
