Well, I suppose someone has to be first cab off the rank.

I give you:

"A Winter Observation"


Camera: FUJIFILM S3500

Mode: Digital - original file size approximately 1Mb

Processing: Nil - other than some inbuilt furry light scattering effects

Date: 30th July 2006

Frames: 1

Mount: Hand held

Please note: The dew heater control cable on the right mid-to-upper section of the image and the readily accessible table on the upper left - the arm rest is obvious. A well padded foot warmer will be seen in the centre of the photograph and, unfortunately not within the field of view, is a small, glass encased, stomach warmer.

Here is a photo I took of one of very few Soviet era monuments in Budapest that are still left standing in their original locations (most have been moved to Statue Park). 30 July 2006, Szabadság Tér ("Freedom Square"), Budapest. Fuji Finepix A350 compact digital camera.

Inscription reads in Russian and Hungarian:
Glory to the Liberating Soviet Heroes.

something red automatically reminds me of i photo i took early last month in the middle of a park, im not quite sure why i took this photo but i took it just after my first 18% grey white balance.

if could go back and improve this photo i would have smaller shutter longer expose just alittle, photos like these dont work like that though now do they?

i find that most believe that taking photos that you will personally appricate has more to do with how you use the camera, i believe this to be true to a degree but i believe that it is overrated and that you gain more personal sucess in taking photos with the more time you spend with your camera and the places you take it to the more you use and experiment. as you can buy a cheap camera press a button photo take it places and it will gain more sucess then a expensive pro camera with heaps of features that goes no where.

if we take both cameras out into the field..

the pro camera may have more features but, that dosent mean it will take better photos, it will just allow more control over mechanically "how" the photos are took, while a point a shoot has this naturally set to the more comercially apealing processing.

i believe that to personally suceed in photos you must become close with your camera that you chose to use, know it well and let it be a close part of yourself and your life, and this is how i appricate the photos i take, and i find with the more time i spend with my camera, the more i get to know it, and the more i get to know it with time, my photos personally improve.

i like this photo it cause of the lighting. the suns cast tone, and personal reasons.

the red thingy dose stand out too dosent it?

im allso sure this photo relates to some of you dslr owners

Totality.

Moon in total eclipse. 12.00 am 16-7-2000. 12 second exposure. Canon AE1. No processing.
We set-up at dusk & took lots of pics, including a series of 1 sec exposures every 30 secs for about 5 hrs in total, with my video camera on the tracking platform. Just watching the shadow gradually creep across the surface & to see the varying colours was awesome.. 'Twas a very good night.. L.

Our Snake Valley Bushfire in April.

A rush job with a Toucam sitting on the car boot before we high-tailed it out of there!

Yeah, terrible focus, but I wasn't going to just stand around getting the focus perfect. Oh well, at least it's 'Red'.

This is my cat "puss" very original name.

She is a ratbag, and shows it all the time, cracks me up

Not sure if she found the empties pile and lapped up the amber fluid before she jumped in the box doing burnouts and ripping it to bits

A coastal scene from Cape Naturaliste , the geology of the coastline is interesting the rockforms are red/orchre, quite a contrast from the limestone and granite found further down the south coast of WA
