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:

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.
Sorry, my comment crossed with your photos. My favorite was your 3rd cave shot.

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)
No, but if you say it's a good place to take some nice photos, I'll give it a shot.

Here are some of the Patuxent/Benedict (different camera and not quite as good):

Here are 3 from Great Falls (VA side). I know they're small and un-edited (WB is off on the first one, and the last one is slightly underexposed), but it's all I got on this computer... and it'll give you an idea of what's there...

laugh out loud Love the sarcasm. ISO100 FTW! (though I think my downsizer program over-sharpened them while "saving for web")

Thanks Smilie Like I told you before, I think that's my best shot (if not my "best" than it's def. my favorite)

Wow...yes, I'll definitely have to get out there!

I know what you mean about not having them cleaned up or anything. Clearly, I haven't even removed the date stamp from mine. Those are just straight off of a digital, just as I downloaded them. I don't even think I had the camera set properly, but I still like them. It's hard to take a bad picture out there!

Love your watermark, by the way. laugh out loud

I think if you're going for vintage, I'd up the processing even more -- a lot more. Now it looks un-finished for vintage, in my opinion. Take it for what it's worth though Dontknow

And like I said before -- the sharpness!!! Awesome on the last shot.

Tons of "photographers" there. All seasons. I was out there while it snowed this year, and there were still photographers walking around laugh out loud

And laugh out loud, mspaint FTW!
