Photo thread

[ManekiNeko]

So do any of you guys take photos in your spare time. I know some of you love to snap bugs lol anything else? I'm feeling particularly nosey and as there is no photography section as such would love to see some snaps from other hubbers.

[cookie087]

I do! But I'm not very good! Just do it for fun. Anything In particular u want to see?

[ManekiNeko]

Nothing in particular I just like looking at peoples photos lol.

p.s I am not a creep lol I mean the photos can be of bugs anything just like looking at ppls photography whatever the subject may be.

[gizmoduckus]

I do but at the moment I have only got a point and shoot camera. One day I hope to own a decent camera.

I love taking photos of children. Whenever I get a chance, I always take photos of my friends kids, my nieces and nephew.... and, oh yeah, can't forget mine. :p

[cookie087]

Augh my computer won't work... If the thread is still going I'll post some in the morning :(

nb: on iPhone ATM!

When I was a kid I always used to lie under the coffee table and draw under it with pens and crayons. I always felt smug because my parents were right next to me and they never knew I was doing it lol.

[iMischa]

i used to do it as well haha i still do actually, a bit weird but i love it i fall asleep under the coffee table all the time lol

[Leeny]

Definitely! My cameras part of who I am :laughing: At the moment I'm actually doing a personal challenge (well, personal journey really).. Its a Photo of the Day challenge and it's all about taking at least one personal shot a day.. Whether it's a photo of your kids, a family activity your doing, heck, even a shot of a plant if you enjoy doing it.. I'm on day 4 at the moment and I'm having a lot of fun with it, although I didn't think I would have the motivation to do it lol... Theres definitely been some favorites of my DD in the last 4 days.

My only problem has been trying to pick a photo, so mine inevitably has ended up as my "many photos a day" challenge :p

(As a side note, we may have a photography sub-forum soon, it's currently being discussed by the moderators)

I am going through a bit of a stage atm where the thought of taking my kids pictures is even painful. DD being Austistic hates having her photograph taken and DS can't be put anywhere with loose grass leaves or whatever because he is head down trying to eat them. So just haveing a bit of a break from them it would be nice to have willing participants though lol.

No, honestly - I know the one you're talking about.. A lot of photographers I know frequent there.

Thats what i love about my camera, it makes even bad things look good. It you see a scene and it looks ok you think ill take a photo of that, then when you do it doesnt look good, so i splashed out and bought a better camera to try and make things look like i want them to. But its taking a while

I love my 4gig card, i can take 500 photos of DS before i have to put them onto my passport harddrive.

But it can be a PITA to take the camera out take the cap off, turn it on fiddle with settings ect and then realise you need a different lens so turn it off take lens off put new one on cap the other one, turn on, and by that time the boy has moved, but i enjoy it :)

*sigh* What a wasted joke. Bones would of understood it :crying:

It's ok ladies, I've taken my fair share of plant photos lol.. ManekiNeko, I completely understand re: the autistic child, they really don't like to be photographed, you must have your work cut out for you! Can you try more of a candid approach?

Leeny oh gosh she's a smart one I'd have to get up pretty early to get one past her in fact I'd have to stay up all night lol. She knows straight away when the camera is around and hands go over her face or she looks at the ground then I hear a chorus of stop looking at me... I don't want my photo taken... stop it... lol. I have very few pictures of her looking at the camera as a result.

[Leeny]

I bet ya I could get one :p:laughing:

[PeppaH]

Anyways back to topic haha. I need to buy a DSLR. Im accually enrolled to do a professional photography course but dont even have a camera to do it with :laughing: Lucky its a flexible course and I have another 4 years to do it in :yelclap:

[Leeny]

The low end dslrs are getting cheaper and cheaper nowadays peppah.. See if you an go and layby one somewhere and pay it off?

[ManekiNeko]

I bet ya I could get one :p:laughing:

I've got quite a few nice ones of her but would just love some where she has eye contact and smiles. It's quite strange to me when I have had friends children or strangers children flock around to the camera and be happy to have their photo taken.

I got this one with the bribe of some natural confectionary dinosaurs lol.

ETA: Peppah, most camera shops will do layby :yes: You'll pay more at a proper camera shop, but it's worth it to be able to pay it off instead of buying outright.

lol Peppah.... If only I had Leonardo da Vinci's paints.. I could of painted the mona lisa.. its not that hard if you have the right paints :p:laughing:

[IndigoJ]

Im not a fan of photoshop ect. So all my photos are just point and shoot. I have some good ones, and some not so good ones that i could edit up. But i hate photobucket :laughing: any volunteers to do it all for me.

[iMischa]

yeh i have a DSLR, and while my photos do look better than my old crappy cam photos...they arent looking like Tracey's photos thats for sure!

[Leeny]

Theres so much more to photos then a camera.. It's all about the person whos taking it, and what they want to achieve.. I know of a lot of photographers who achieve just as beautiful photos on a point and shoot as they do on a dslr..Why? Because they know how to use it :yes:

[PeppaH]

lol Peppah.... If only I had Leonardo da Vinci's paints.. I could of painted the mona lisa.. its not that hard if you have the right paints :p:laughing:

Well you know what? When I recently had shots done, I looked at her photos and thought "wow she must be pretty pro" however on the day she had no clue what she was doing :laughing: Then I saw the results and thought "well its obviously the camera then" :laughing: They were nice shots.

However all im saying is that SLR take awesome shots even if your an ameture. It helps if you know how it all works and can work photoshop though.

[Leeny]

The quality of the photo is better from a dslr yes.. Its such a shame that there are so many hack photographers out there.. It cheapens the industry.. And don't worry, I was just poking fun lol

[Bubs'n'Roses]

You like DOING plants!? :eek: Thats even more gross than me doing wags:shame:


*sigh* What a wasted joke. Bones would of understood it :crying:

Lol. I did Pep. I read the first part, killed myself laughing and wished I had have been here last night... and then.. the second part.

On topic, I want to get a decent camera. At the moment the only thing I can take pictures with is the shoddy 2mega pixel camera on my shoddy phone. Its awful. I didn't know laybying a camera was an option, I will look into that. My daughters are too beautiful not to be getting photographed with a decent camera.

And, beautiful, beautiful photos. :yes:

[ManekiNeko]

yeh i have a DSLR, and while my photos do look better than my old crappy cam photos...they arent looking like Tracey's photos thats for sure!

I'm pretty average on the camera side of things I'm much better at photoshop. I took some horendous pictures when I first got my dslr and before I edit mine they are nothing special. I agree some amazing stuff can be done on point and shoots.

[Leeny]

Lots of people can take a great photo, but I think it's the treatment of the photo that makes it a beautiful work of art.. Not to say every photo has to be like that.. I adore snapshots and they totally have their place.. I dont take enough!

[ManekiNeko]

I also think alot of people are disapointed after buying a dslr because they think they take amazing pictures. In a point and shoot you have everything calibrated to be able to print immidiately where as you really have to process the dslr because they are more elemental although you have more control over what you can do with them.

[cookie087]

I love Photoshop! Especialy for making personalsied invites (a new hobbie of mine!)

I have a dslr but still trying to get the hang of it also! I love looking at others pics, especially one if there babies/kids, cos it gives me so many idea to try!

Keep posting ladies!!!

[Leeny]

Absolutely! A dslr shot in auto is much like a point and shoot.. Well, it IS just a fancy point and shot that prints better quality pictures..You can pump up the contrast, saturation etc so all the photos you take have those applied automatically.. a point and shot already does that fr you.. A dslr when used out of auto so you have complete control of the camera produces very bland images.. It's up to the person taking the photo to make them pop after the fact :)

right click properties then copy the url address and it won't let anyone see your profile or album.

I have a few I would like to share
How do I link some from Fb without linking the whole photo album, anyone know?

Go to the photo you want to share. Down the bottom it says Share this photo with others even if they arnt on facebook. And it gives you a link, copy and paste that into here :)

[Leeny]

I'm on firefox so I right click, then click "view image".. It'll bring that image up in the window without the facebook page.. Just just the link in the url bar :)

Does that work if yor albums are set to private?

[Leeny]

Yep, It should do.. Because its not linking to your facebook page.. its linking to the facebook database where your actual photo is loaded if that makes sense?.. If you want to test it.. Just copy it into another window of yours and see where it takes you.. Try deleting the file name on the end of the link and it still shouldn't take you back to a facebook page. It should just be a photo on a blank browser.

ETA: I don't have my albums on private so I can't be 100% sure.. someone with a private album will have to test it out.

You're right! Photos your own kids are so important, no matter what they look like...I hadn't taken any for a while, but I've really tried to start taking more :laughing:

(As a side note, we may have a photography sub-forum soon, it's currently being discussed by the moderators)

Have to say - I LOVE this idea!!!! Definitely would get my vote of support!

I'm a very amatuer photographer who currently photographs plants and stuff (just hanging out for my little man to arrive to I have another subject:laughing:)

Here's some:

Where is that I wish there was a cool zoo in Brisbane with Zebras, Giraffes, Rhinos, Gorillas and all that except we just have the Alma Park Zoo which is really boring and just smells like poo.

[iMischa]

lmao they all smell like poo, but Taronga zoo in syd is pretty impressive with everything, even the first baby elephant bred in aus :)

[pinkfluffymarshmellows]

lmao they all smell like poo, but Taronga zoo in syd is pretty impressive with everything, even the first baby elephant bred in aus :)


yup, i live in sydney , most of those were taken there, i have some photos of baby luc chai , the new elephant , ill see if i can then:-)

[ManekiNeko]

lmao they all smell like poo, but Taronga zoo in syd is pretty impressive with everything, even the first baby elephant bred in aus :)

No seriously the Alma park Zoo is really stinky the worst bit is thekangaroo enclosure it's like poo city there and my pram got poo all over the wheels yukky... I've been to some pretty cool zoo's as a child Dubbo, One in Malaysia and Taronga Park... I just can't remember anything from them except I got a water bottle with a Gorilla on it at Taronga lol. I'd love to take my kids to Toronga Park I really enjoyed it when I was little although like I said I don't remember anything haha.

[iMischa]

wowww a malaysian zoo would have been amazing!!

pmsl @ poo city and getting it everywhere haha...ahh dear it reminds me when my sister and i were little and went to the royal easter show, we went into the cow pavillion and my sister got too close to a cows butt and it poo's and she copped major splashback on..white pants, hahaha. i dont remember anything about the show except for that.

I've got quite a few nice ones of her but would just love some where she has eye contact and smiles. It's quite strange to me when I have had friends children or strangers children flock around to the camera and be happy to have their photo taken.

I got this one with the bribe of some natural confectionary dinosaurs lol.

Thankyou :goodvibes: I used an glaze action with a gaussian blur built into it and then used a layer mask to paint in the glaze in the areas I wanted it.

[Craftymum]

Hi Ladies,

Mind if I join you? I recently got a DSLR and went on a 5 week course to learn how to use the manual settings and take better pictures. Was interesting, a learning experience and a lot of fun.

All your photos are gorgeous, I definately need to get photoshop to further enhance my photos. The other thing is my DD just doesnt sit still long enough for me to take a pic lol.....

Do you all find that it takes you a while to get your camera right on a manual setting to take a pic and before you know it your subject matter e.g. your daughter has flown the coup?

i'll try and post a few pics, very amateaur and very much still learning but would love to learn from all you lovely ladies too.

[cookie087]

Thankyou :goodvibes: I used an glaze action with a gaussian blur built into it and then used a layer mask to paint in the glaze in the areas I wanted it.

I loved this one too... i think im going to have to experiment a bit with this function in photoshop!! Did u do a course or r u self taught?

And some more landscape pics (sorry cant help myself!)

I loved the pics of your DS the first one of the feet was gorgeous... I could look at pictures of babies all day lol. I taught myself off a blog called coffee tea photography if you google it it will come up because I don't know the exact address. It has a heap of free actions but it also shows you how to break down the actions so you can learn more as you go. Alot of photographers make action sets and sell them but I think there are alot of great free actions out there. It also has tutorials aswell it's a really great site. It took me ages to figure out how to load them on to pse on vista but after that the actions were so easy to use.

Craftymum I love your southbank night scapes... Melbourne is such a beautiful city I'd love to live there one day it's like my idea of photographic heaven lol.

[EmPowering]

cookie087 love the feet one:yes:

Ok I could be blind but I haven't noticed the new photog section so I thought I'd revive this.

I hate wasps too... One time when I was coming home from work one wasp chased me down a 200m street I had to leave the street to get away from it you have no idea how scared I was.

[iMischa]

oh i understand, the place i used to live in, had these giant wasp holes in the ground everywhere and these giant things would constantly hover around my house. my dad got stung by one on the foot and shooting pain went right up his entire leg...nastyyyyy now im terrified. they just keep stinging!!!

Great thread!

All of you ladies are very talented!

I love taking photos of my little man mostly, but would love to do a photography course. I use a Canon 400D. Sometimes I play around with some editing, and sometimes just leave them as is.

Here are a few of my faves...
