After doing some searching, I found that TL doesn't have a dedicated Photography thread. Surely, there must be lots of photography enthusiasts out there. Therefore, please post up your very best images to share. Please limit photos to roughly 3-6 photos per post so this forces you to put up your very best work!

You can post anything that you deem to be interesting, but please, no offensive content. And of course make sure they are your own photos! Write a caption to give some context to the photos!

If you want someone's photo high-res, then PM them asking them for it. It will help keep the thread less cluttered, allowing more pictures! Comments and critique on everyone's photos is welcome. After all, the goal is to improve and take better pictures as time goes on. I hope this is an on-going thing and people keep adding to it. Don't be afraid to bump this thread, especially if you have some pictures you are proud of.

I'll start it off.

Yes, I took these photographs, with my old point and shoot. Fancy cameras are not needed to make nice pictures.

Yeah, the last two pictures are wonderful. So wonderful that I'd put one of them as my desktop if you could provide a high res version!

I'm really liking the last two photos. Do you mind posting the equipment you also used. Did you just use a normal digital camera or what?

Haha, glad you guys like the photos. If you want higher res PM me with email and I'll email it to you.

For these pictures I used a Canon SD630 point and shoot. Don't need a big fancy expensive camera for interesting photos.

For the sake of keeping this thread going here are some more pics. Show off your best work!

it seems like TL has a good contingent of photogs. anyway i guess i'm going to take the bait, and post some of my model and street photographs. i would love any critique; i took up photography about 6 months ago so i'm still learning. All of these pictures are taken with a D300. Most of them are with a 50mm f/1.8; there might be a few with 35mm f/1.8 and 14-24mm f/2.8.

Re: caelym Nice photos! I really like the mood of the first few photographs. The birthday cake photo is a little lacking.. perhaps crank up exposure compensation and shoot aperture wide open.

In the last photo in the photo gallery, the camera wasn't held level. Make use of the D300's built in leveler!

For this photo next time shoot the photo of them away from the sun, rather than into the sun. The shadows and contrasts well be a lot more pleasing.

Other than those details, really enjoyed your photos!

^. Wow. Nice ones! The simple composition makes the photos so strong. How you like the 50mm f1.4 prime?

I like it pretty well. It is faster than any lens I've previously owned, which has been fun. I just went digital last fall, had been strictly 35mm b/w film prior. Still learning a lot about the camera and color in general... waiting until I am more comfortable before I start blowing money on more lenses.
