Photography-post your favorite 5

by ilikepotatoes » Wed Oct 07, 2015 2:31 pm

i used to be really into photography a couple of years ago and wanted to share a few photos which i consider to be some of my favorites I've ever taken.

while we are at it i thought hey why not have everyone post 5 of their favorite photos that they have taken. (if there is a similar old post related to this, oh well time for a new one)
i guess only rules are:
1. only 5 photos maximum, doesn't have to be 5. (choose wisely, and don't come back and add more photos in new posts)
2. they have to be taken by you. (no.... photos of you in some sexy ass landscape does not count)
3. these don't have to be professional, but don't be that person that post photos of your dinner at chilis or some shit.
4. if you can tell us about your photos :)
5. no game screenshots (trying to keep this based on real life photography you nerds)

Image

1. Taken in Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia. The largest salt flat in the world. Probably my favorite place ive ever visited. :)

Image

2. I took this at some random ass western festival and fell in love with this shot.

Image

3. This was a candid photo of a couple at the state fair of texas coming out of those cheesy haunted houses.

Image

4. Taken in Rome, Italy. I forget the name of this place

Image

5. Taken for a photography class at my school. This is not an actual place, but something we had to fabricate to make look like a location we photographed. I used poster board, paint, water, and a lamp to create this photo to make it look like some sort of sewer tunnel.

These...*sniff sniff* are so beautiful. That salt flat...damn..

And that last image...Amazing. How long did that take to make? I legitimately thought it was a photograph of a real place, so you had me fooled. Nice one, and brilliant work. :)

I think my portfolio proper is sitting on an external hard drive somewhere, but I scrounged up a few shots from my 2006 trip to Japan. They are low-res but w/e

1. Hiroshima

Image

2. Tea Service, Kyoto

Image

3. Hotel in Osaka. They included a small origami bird with your morning paper.

Image

4. A castle. I don't remember the name. I don't think is from Himeji.

Image

5. A dumb picture at the base of the Washington Monument that was in the same folder. Lucky Numbah Five!

I and others like these. Pretty damn hard to only pick 5.

1. Some flower in my parent's back yard. Just like the colors and composition. I have a thing for flowers and nature.
Image

2. A butterfly on another flower. I like how you can see the detail and the pollen. Also shows butterflies can be fucking ugly.
Image

3. My cat. Just like this one because of his expression and how he was trying to pose for me.
Image

4. A random bird. Not sure what he is. Don't really know why i like it but it just clicks for me.
Image

5. A waterfall. The color and the milkyness of the water is great.
Image

I have a shit ton more and I'll probably find them later and want to change my mind. Most of my pictures are on NAS which is in a box right now because I'm moving. Should make a general photography thread.

Used to take photos much more than I do now. Most of these are a few years old, or older. Most of it being pictures from concerts or just random stuff I like. The raw hi-res photos are on my external, so just pulled these from FB.
Image
Picture of Emily Haines of Metric performing at First Ave in Minneapolis. Got a bunch of really great pictures that evening.

Image
Psychobilly band, Koffin Kats performing at Station 4 with Street Dogs in Saint Paul.

Image
Taken when visiting Philadelphia. Love those subtle blues.

Image
Totally not taken indoors. Everyone else is posting epic outdoor scenery, didn't want to feel left out. Not me in pic. Also taken when visiting Philly.

Image
"Famous last words" Still one of my favorite screen caps. :P

I haven't used a camera ever. I have some okay-ish ENB Skyrim screenshots. But I'm a failure that mostly takes awful character shots.

Photography is the art of taking photographs, a photograph being a picture taken with a camera. Screenshots technically aren't a photograph. I get what you mean though.

Was a graphic design major, heard this argument over what a photograph/photography is a thousand times over from the photography majors. >_<

The thread was intended for real life photography. I simply reiterated politely.

Also thank you Rumors.

I don't take a lot of pictures but for some reason I really enjoy this picture I took of the Montauk Lighthouse Image

It's not photographically amazing by any means, I just think the lighthouse is beautiful.
