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:

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.
Thanks for the cc and kind words, Max!

I haven't really played with that picture in awhile, and I agree it does seem kind of unfinished and even a little flat IMO.


I will have to give it another whirl and see what happens nod

Probably the only "person" picture I'd feel comfortable posting online (I've posted a bunch privately in my profile before)




Alright, I'll stop post-whore-hogging the thread wave

All of those are somewhere on my Flickr page.

Thanks Schoobs. 1st one is Triberg Wasserfal in Germany, 2nd Grand Canyon south rim, 3rd Dover Speedway during a NASCAR race, and 4th at my family's property in upstate NY.

Thanks! That 3rd pic has gotten me a lot of compliments. Too many people think I stole it from some news site, and other say I should've sold it to them. laugh out loud
