Any photo buffs?
I like to collect photos in various categories, sports of course and others.
But my real passion is taking photos. I use a Nikon D70, it is a few years old but I love that camera. I have done a little digi-scoping too. I shoot mostly nature pics, traveling pics and have shot some pictures at Shea Stadium and Citi Field. The baseball pic here is from Mike Piazza's last Mets game. Here are a couple of my pics, if anyone else shoots lets see your stuff.

30 yrs ago
Thirty years ago, when I was stationed in Japan, I bought a Nikon camera and took a lot of pictures. I might have a few left and will post a few if I do. Those are some neat pictures Richard. A few are a little blurry but the content is great.

I take black and white photos that appeal to me. Really ugly trees are my main subject right now, especially in winter with no leaves. I have a few that are entitled arthritis in nature. All are with a digital, never owned a "real" camera, but would someday like to learn the techniques of a conventional camera.

Here are quick samples of what I have done in recent months. The ball field one with the fireworks is from Game 7 of the 2011 World Series.

1) Three Sand Cranes stopped to eat lunch on my side yard - 2) one of them walked up to get his/her picture taken 3) This eager collector is using his want list as he sorts through some Old Judges at the 2003 NSCC.

I mostly snap photos of my daughter, but occasionally run across other cool stuff. Macro photography is my favorite...

Most of my photography is of food that I grill and barbecue for competition and just for my own consumption pleasure. Mostly do this to keep track of what I've cooked, and also to improve the apperance of what I cook and serve or submit for judging. I often find things to improve in appearance in the photos that I never see in person particularly when having to submit an entry on time. The photos allow me look at at critically later on and correct things that I do the next time.
One friend of mine once asked: "Why are you always showing us pictures of your food but never any of your kids?" My response: "If my kids looked this good I'd show you pictures of them too!" Some first place ribs Some brisket that looked a lot better than it placed Grilled and then battered and deep fried burger! Cedar planked lemon salmon and twice baked red potatoes Moink balls (bacon wrapped meatballs smoked with some rub and sauced) A plate of BBQ'ed chicken thighs Some tomatoes on the grill with mozarella Grilled hot dog egg rolls with a honey dijon glaze OK, so nothing "cooked' here. Just your basic salad with a strawberry vinaigrette |

not sports
Well, it's not sports but it's a picture I took approximately 30 yrs ago, in Okinawa, Japan. Scan doesn't do it justice.

Great topic Richard. I do a lot of personal traveling and about 2 years ago, I decided to start trying to take better photos in some of the unique places I've visited.
Right now shooting with a Nikon D5000 with either Nikkor 18-200 or a Tokina 12-24. Here are some recent photos. With the boards help, the Tiger's Nest photo took top 5 in an international competition hosted by Kumuka in October. BHUTAN: EASTER ISLAND: IRELAND: GUATEMALA: NEW YORK (HOME):

Resurrect
Hey guys, I thought of this thread when I recently transferred some cell phone pics over to my iPAD.
This one is Mt Tahoma, more commonly known as Mt Rainier. At 14,410 ft, it's pushing three-mile high. It was 90 degrees today but the glaciers didn't seem to mind. Even my ordinary cell phone makes thus monster come alive!

Adams
And this one was taken two weeks ago, it is Tahklach Lake, sitting in front of majestic Mt Adams in south central Washington.
At 12.7k, it's a very large volcano but goes relatively anonymous since there are few places to get this close and even getting here was a rough drive for my SUV Again, just a cell phone camera, but it came out nicely...

Great images everyone! Jon, we're going to have to meet up next time I"m in NYC to compare notes, we seem to be crossing off similar bucket lists
Here's a few from last winter in SE Asia. We started in Bangkok, took the train to Cambodia, overland to Phnom Pehn, then down the Mekong to the delta, and up the entire coast to Hanoi. |
