Photography thread - for Schoob

10,796 659 July 8, 2010 at 11:18 AM
Schoob asked for people to post their photography in a thread.

I'm not a pro, but I take some good photos and I have a sincere passion for photography. Soon, I hope to learn more and take some great photos.

Since Schoob wants to see a thread about photography, here are some good ones that I took of Luray Caverns last weekend.

As you can imagine, it's tough to get good photos in a cave, but this is my favorite view of Dream Lake inside the caverns:

Here's the formation that I think looks like a little resting sherpa carrying his pack. Or, if you look at the back of the formation, it kind of looks like Vlad Dracul.

This is my favorite picture that I took of the Wishing Well:

Here's one of the ceiling of one of the caves:

And one of some contrasting stone:

Oooh cool I love cave pics! I had some from years ago from just an ok camera and they probably wouldn't scan very well.

Thanks for starting the thread and posting! Clap Whee

laugh out loud nah, those pics suck. They're also at ISO12,800 (geek speak for they're noisy)


Speaking of desktop backgrounds, an un-named SD'er send me a PM with a screenshot of yours. You didn't tell me you had two monitors Stick Out Tongue

Although I have Bea on my home monitors.

I need to learn how to split screen so that I can have 2 different pics. I work with very bright techy people and I have trouble with stuff like that. Blush Stick Out Tongue

Vax Coverlaugh Your pictures are nice! That last one is my favorite.

I also have a few that I took on the Patuxent River around here, somewhere and some from an airplane that came out very well. Those might be at home, so you might have to wait for them.

The green one? Odd... I thought it was in my tinypic album, but for some reason it's gone.... I must have accidentally deleted it.

Thanks Smilie The new pics you added to the OP are nice too Big Grin

Patuxent River, eh? Interesting... google images shows some potential for some nice shots.

Anything from great falls? I think I have a few, I just need to see if they're here or at home (sorry schoobs, you've seen these already)
