took this picture at random while at my friends wedding this weekend. didn't think about composition at all..just pointed up and shot. was kind of a busy day so i didn't even try taking a few different ones.



edit..the picture is looking up at this oak tree (i think its an oak?) with lots of moss hanging from it. the wedding was in a botanical garden park in front of this huge tree.

a couple pics i took the other day in black and white.

beer


fire




and randomly, since it was there in my "other" section of photobucket, the guitar pick i've been using since it was a full sized heavy pick. my friend keeps saying he'd give me one since they are cheap..but i have a few and i've actually grown to like the smaller sized pick.

nice black and white photos

here is an infrared picture I took using my infrared camera filter, I formated in B&W and Sepia, infrared is one of the coolest types of photos i think

thanks. yea, that is pretty cool with the infrared. does it have any weird effects? or is it more of a red tint/filter? were you in that tree for that picture? :}

haha, my aparment is on the third floor, so i get a good view of the trees and street.

The filter is just a really dark red, the R72, there are also darker ones like the wratten 89b, but that one cost a lot more. The one I have is the most popular and afordable though. I have seen where people tweak infrared photos in adobe and make them look really cool.

there is also an infrared xray filter too, that can see through some objects,

cool, i'll have to look into that. right now i just have an 18-55mm lens and a polarizing filter. i bought the filter to reduce some of the reflections when shooting through glass..but also as a cheap protective cover for the real lens. so far my budget has prevented me from buying any other lenses. :wall:

here is another IR that I turned into sepia, the oercast sky made it a little grainy though.

Wildflowers



And more wildflowers - with an old 2 megapixel mini but I think the composition is neat



Not sure what to call this one



And finally playing around with the fisheye lens in real low light

Thats exactly what I mean. I work for the Fedearal govt. and have to deal with this all the time.

if the govt uses my pics on their site i still hold the copyrights to it. period . UNLESS i took the pics as work for hire for the government or was doing as part of my job as a government official.
Same as at my job now, i can write a book about operating a waste water plant but i cant copyright it if i do it while on the clock working for them as its then the property of the company and ... never mind you get the picture no pun intended
