Photogs: Those who take 'em and those who love 'em

fantastic! a photographers thread.

I run a Nikon D100 - a seriously ancient work-horse of a camera, built like a tank (I'm sure I could substitute the camera for a hammer at DIY time)...Haven't been shooting much recently but when I am have a passion for exploring and shooting abandoned buildings

like this at East Sussex Asylum


in 2008 I undertook a 365 project which meant I took a self portrait every day, this allowed me to be a 'bit daft' whilst having the excuse of taking pictures of said 'daftness'

a bit like this - that's me on the left



my girl is the serious photographer in the house, she comes from the fine art side of things and uses medium format film more often than not.

I hope you have fun playing around with the aperture/shutter/iso stuff on your camera Linus.

using an old tank i like old building photography with creepers growing on the outside, cemetery tombstones "floating" on high grass", statuary, and fixtures of all sorts - infared makes things a little more interesting.

i am thinking of minor white right now

food photography is of interest to me also.

i really like the repetition of arches - branch, cloud-scape/sky, land-plant scape- and bridge, odarlin

structures/surfaces - tactical/tacit/tactile ! in water, cloud, tree, bridge - some are rooted in a sense of permanence, while others appear momentary, a glimplse.

a breeze may change direction of things above and below- and the reflection captures both.

Well, I added a few shots from here in Vegas. The water fountain at the Tropicana and the Lion from MGM are my favourite as is Bobcat playing with the string.
