Moose135 Posted October 25, 2013 Share Posted October 25, 2013 Thanks, Dylan! Joe, love the waterfall photos! At the Botany Bay Plantation Preserve on the SC coast. This stinkin' bird stood there in the water, not moving for over 15 minutes while I watched and shot him. When I finally gave up and got in the car, he flapped his wings and flew off. The little so-and-so stood there and watched me, waiting for me to put the camera down before he flew away... From the "Boneyard", an area of dead trees on the beach at Botany Bay.

Eastern Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Well guys, I'm into it again. Beauty on the Nature. Show must go on. Now an Autumn mood. The images have been captured last Saturday at the place not so far from Vladivostok. Cheers and happy photographing! Alexander Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ishthe47guy Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Its Formula One weekend here, so its very appropriate that these sculptures are here. They are the work of Yong Ho Ji out of south Korea, and as you can see, are made from tires. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

chuck540z3 Posted November 5, 2013 Share Posted November 5, 2013 I was in Maui last week and took a few sunset pics. Overdone theme, I know, but they sure looked cool when I took them! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ishthe47guy Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 I so miss fall. Only two seasons here in the sandbox, really hot and just hot. Thanks for sharing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ishthe47guy Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Some shots from the Abu Dhabi F1 GP here this past weekend. Still working with an entry level 300mm zoom, but will be upgrading soon, and still not sure why on my Photobucket page, the photos are so much sharper than when I post them... Mark Webber crossing into the back straight DRS zone: His teammate Vettel, seemingly out on a Sunday drive, no worries in the world... My favorite driver, Lewis Hamilton: Saw this red Ferrari drive by... Force India... Lotus Caterham, with Airbus as a sponsor no less... Vodafone McClaren. If the Silver Surfer became a race car driver... Marussia Racing. So much for communism, eh? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AX 365 Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 Some beautiful shot folks. Chuck's shots remind me of the sight from my balcony when I'm on the Gulf Coast in January and February. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've noticed that with Photobucket as well. My Flickr account seems to do a better job of preserving sharpness. Nice shots! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ishthe47guy Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) Great shots, Joe. Even though I'm a rotorhead, I've been a rail fan and an HO modeler since I was a kid. I remember seeing Chessie System locomotives going through D.C.. What site are you using to host your forum photos? Still wish I knew what it takes to get that type of clarity in my photos that I post... It was National Day here in the UAE (think Canada Day/ 4th of July), so I went out to takes photos of the fireworks. Well, the only way to get better is to learn from your mistakes, and I made a few critical errors, but this was my first time.. This was the best one out of about 45. I'll try again next year...

Ishthe47guy Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Just out and about during the long weekend over here, had my camera, and spotted these guys cleaning the windows... The building is the Al Dar World Headquarters. It struck a chord with me, having been raised in NYC, and also, in a country rich with oil, the is always someone that has to do the scut work...

dylan Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) great shots Chris. there might be some useful tips here fro knows photo and if you want to get a better hosting site, then you might have to pay for one. I switched to smugmug last april and havent looked back. its about $40 a year cheers Dylan Edited December 3, 2013 by dylan Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I've noticed the same issue you've mentioned with Photbucket, as that's where I used to host most of my model build photos. Flickr allows massive amounts of free storage, check it out.

Ishthe47guy Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Joe, I have tried Flickr, this week as a matter of fact, and haven't been able to post actual images on forums, only links to the photos. I did some reading around, and from what I can gather, unless you had a Flickr Pro account, you can't post images, and Flickr doesn't offer its pro account any longer. Dylan, I have two paid accounts, one with Photobucket (for 10 years now), and one I just started on ImageShack. I even posted test shots of the same photos, one from each site, to see if there is a difference. None could be seen by me, so I'm going to dive into learning Aperture since I'm a Mac user, and see if that will help. I wish I had read that article on photographing fireworks beforehand. The article pointed out pretty much everything I figured I was doing wrong once i analyzed the photos I took. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

mikestomcat Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) Lots of great photos here, a few months ago here in Coffs Harbour, Australia they held open ocean speedboat races for a weekend. Myself and my partner went down to watch and I took these pics.http://i879.photobucket.com/albums/ab360/mikestomcat/Speedboats/182.jpg' alt='182.jpg'> [/img] Edited December 4, 2013 by mikestomcat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
