Playing with photography

I started this forum for any collecting hobby and it turned into my camera collecting and using forum. I use it mostly to keep a record of my photo adventures. Nobody but me seems to have photo adventures that visit here....but however. I have so many cameras now that I forget which is which and which ones work and which ones don't. If you have cameras and adventures you would be welcome to post here.

Playing with photography

Post by Niner » Sun May 08, 2011 10:42 pm

Most people think of photography as a way to record some event or other....usually a family gathering. They will get everybody all ready for THE photograph and take one photo. Back in the day of film when many rolls only had a dozen exposures and you had to pay to develop and print them is probably a large part of the problem that a lot of us old farts still carry with us. Being one shot photographers results in....well photographs that look like a one snapshot attempt to capture something that might have been worth remembering.....if nobody moved faster than the shutter speed. One should take multiple photos of anything. An example comes to mind of a baseball game I went to last week. One shows the release of a pitch and then a quick following shot shows the result. Digital photo cards will hold a lot more photos than you are ever going to want to look at of any event. Take lots of photos. Some will be good by chance. Some will show a sequence of events that will tell a story. The camera's are just too good now days for anybody to screw it up if they are not afraid to snap a lot of photos of any event that interests them.

This poses the question "I wonder who they were"?

Or

"Will I need to open a new bottle"?

Image

Or perhaps "Are they still inside turning to dust"?

Great eye for photography....except that one you borrowed from someplace with the skinny mummy at the beach.

That last one reminds me of a show on tv that follows people around looking for houses. There was one hovel in Italy that looked worse than the one in your photo which a couple bought for a vacation cottage.....they just needed to run the wild life out and put in plumbing, toilet, sinks, a kitchen, a roof and just one or two walls needed rebuilding......and some painting they could do themselves. They bought all several hundred square feet of that rubble on a small lot for an amount equal in US dollars to about $150,000. A steal...great view they said. One false move outside at night and they could roll down the hill and into the sea. They must have looked at it as an adventure waiting to happen.

Nice ones. Guess there was some photoshop work on the one with the flower. Did you do anything to the one with the boats to adjust the color on the boat hulls?
