OT Unofficial Official Photography Thread

We used to have an unofficial photography thread at one time that was pinned. I haven't posted any pics in a while and could not find the thread that we had been using so I am starting a new one. Post your photography in this thread. Hopefully the mods will not lock this should we post in it after a period of time as elapsed since the last post.

My first pic to start all this off is something I picked up last month in West Virginia.

I have some more that I took up that way that I really like. I will be posting them later.

Editing this post seems to have made my original pic disappear from this post. The new forum software sucks so much.

Most of my pictures are on Instagram lol. I'll post one anyway:

Here is another one from last month in West Virginia.

Post a picture that you took Dave.

Tooky that with my phone camera hehe Just ordered a real camera a few days ago and am cited to play around with it :3

Took this one down at the lake not too long ago................................

Acting noble:

After a good cat joke:

A flower that decided HEY go to hell I will be growing up in your fire pit!

A weeping cherry hybrid outside the house.

Had a visitor the other day:

^Its a Chicago Cubs gnome:D.

Taking a nap:

Tried out a few panorama shots. This one turned out pretty good. 

I have  a pretty crappy camera and there is no good scenery around here, so I photograph my action figures

That DR. Who's pretty realistic looking...................

That's just how this comes across to me. I love the work (aside from #1), I just think it could use a little bit more refinement and clarity and direction.

I agree that the cat picture works. The reason is that to make it work, you got down to the cat's level and I could be mistaken, but practically in her face though you could have used a telephoto or zoom lens. The cat also was just not looking into the camera, but is staring intently at something and you seem to have caught that intensity in that gaze. Cats are probably the hardest animal to photograph due to their aloofness and their attention being easily drawn away.

I also agree with the grasshopper. It needed more to make it pop. 

Also, remember, that you might take 100 pictures of one subject, but only 5 are what could be a really good picture. 

Here are some more pics from the trip I took to West Virginia this past July. The place is a historic farm with the farmhouse (I actually slept in it a couple of nights) dating back to 1845 or at least the original part of it.

Here is another set.

There are more, but I think these are the best.

The first picture was taken about 40 minutes before sunset with a slightly cloudy sky. The owners of the property set up a place to view sunsets in one of the upper meadows (they grow hay even though they do not plant it). I have a different pic from the area.

I took a bunch of pictures and I do you a seperate flash attached to the shoe, which can be used remotely (it's wireless and not a cheap alternative, that flash was $469). I was actually bouncing light off the ceiling to get what I wanted color wise, but the ceiling isn't white, it is dark colors with exposed beams. I actually slept in that bedroom and the water pitcher, wash basin and chamber pot (back in the 1800s there was no indoor plumbing). I actually had to move some items of mine from the top of the dresser to get the pics.

As far as the glass goes, I was actually taking a pic of the hand made plate glass. You can see the defects in it (string of bubbles), but was able to get more due to shooting from inside the farm house. You can even see the handmade glass in the picture with the stove and the window behind it.
