flickr?

3/8/2010 6:48:32 PM

photobucket or facebook would do better...

3/8/2010 6:49:18 PM

maybe i'm not understanding who the question is directed towards if you already have the answer

3/8/2010 6:51:08 PM

i'm asking if TenaciousC could host them pictures elsewhere. they look like crap uploaded to tww.

3/8/2010 6:52:19 PM

i agree with the comments about tenacious's pix - tons of noise in them as well

3/8/2010 8:43:19 PM

yeah, TWW makes them look like ish... I can get them on Flicker or something, just haven't had time. You get the idea, though

3/8/2010 10:34:09 PM

not really

I always would see those creepy southern family pictures above peoples hearths. I decided I wanted to make one. Not a creepy southern family. A picture.

I love this lady.


Came out of calendar shoot we are doing... here is Mr. March.

SO I am going to a Hurricanes game, security doesn't give a shit If I bring one camera, no bag, no flash, but a decent size lens right?

3/12/2010 10:31:19 AM

I was mad after taking a couple shots of that ladybug to find out my wife had screwed with the camera and set the ISO to 800. Damn noise. When I'd turned it down, it wasn't there anymore.

A couple from our DC trip. I've got more, but I'm still going through them...







There are only 10 pictures in the flickr set now, but I should have more up later tonight.

I took this when I got bored, in between games while volunteering at the Special Olympics MA Winter Games basketball tournament.

...I actually like the bokeh in the background, especially with the letters in the stands at Assumption College.

3/14/2010 7:39:14 PM

Got bored today.

3/14/2010 8:38:07 PM

^ i like the one with the two round buildings. (silohs?)

Here are a couple more from our trip.






And I guess technically this doesn't belong since it wasn't taken with a DSLR, but I like it...

^^ Love the silos. Great shot

^ that P&S shot would work well as a B&W imo. Great shot but the green window & 2 tv's distract me a bit since they're the only color. What was the 1st pic taken with? Really interesting since it seems the horizon is tilted to the left but the monument is tilted to the right. Am I just losing it? Also, I really want a fisheye....

Thanks, I'll try it as a B&W and see how I like it. I didn't notice the TVs honestly, but I did like the touch of green the one window gave the shot.

The first picture was taken with the Tokina 11-16mm at 11mm so that slanted feel is probably due to the lines on the ground being stretched by the wide angle lens. The horizon isn't perfectly flat (about a degree off), but it's pretty close according to the grid in photoshop, so I didn't mess with it.

And yes, the fisheye is bitchin'. I use it a lot more than I thought I would.

A pic of a couple of Apache Helicopters landing at KRDU General Aviation back on Feb 20th.




Most weekends with decent weather I try to spend some time out at KRDU and practice with my old trusty Canon XT.

3/14/2010 10:49:26 PM

I was bored at work the other day and *gasp* decided to waste some time with tiltshiftmaker. I tried it out on a few aerial photos I took of campus.

3/15/2010 12:07:44 PM

Senez that ladybug shot is hot.

Tiltshifts always make things look like miniature models.... I like it for that reason.

A Brick furnace, from the Guignard Brick works, Cayce, SC. The Brick works were operating between 1900 and 1950. These furnaces built between 1911 and 1930 (not sure if this is the 1911 or the 1930, but I think 1930, as it is slightly seperated from the other 3 just like it.


The South Carolina state house, with the Strom Thurmond statue in front of it.

A memorial to the confederate soldiers of South Carolina. The flag on the flag pole is the confederate flag, I really wanted it to stand up, but it just wasn't a windy enough day.


Found this in a parking lot, I used the point and shoot method on this picture, but taken with my Nikon.

Actually those are both AH-64D's aka Longbow's. Just because the FCR or Fire Control Radar is uninstalled (the biscuit over the rotor blades) doesn't mean it's not a D model/Longbow.... it's removable. Typically, unless they are doing gunnery or deployed, you'll see the D's without the FCR. This is because it's heavy (less weight = more flight time).

The easiest way to tell is by looking for the winglets off the engines that I've highlighted in red here:



I forget exactly what they are called, but the AH-64A's do not have them....

I'm actually down here in Alabama at flight school about to learn how to fly these bad boys. Those two 64's are from my National Guard unit there at the RDU airport. They just got back from deployment from Iraq!

not trying to be a dick, but from a technical/composition standpoint what is so remarkable about the silos pic?

3/15/2010 6:43:34 PM

^^ thanks for the info on those, what are the winglets used for?

good luck on the training

3/15/2010 7:15:38 PM

The pic of the Apaches was taken on 2-20-2010. There was a total of 5 Apaches
that landed outside of KRDU General Aviation that day. Here is a link to a high-res image
of all 5 birds:

Thanks for the info from everyone about the Apaches. I am just a Ham Radio Geek who likes to combine aircraft monitoring with a little aviation photography on the side

And a good number of people here have some great photography skills as demonstrated in this thread! Thanks for sharing!

3/15/2010 7:40:46 PM

^^^ i don't think it's technically or compositionally remarkable as you put it, but i like it and it's not offensive to the eyes. i think the placement of the silos is good and the soft light works well with the brown grass and blue skies.

if you don't like it, you don't like it. it's all personal tastes.

NP. I actually have no idea, and I don't want to give you the wrong scoop here. A lot of the systems on that bird are classified (and for good reason)... I won't be flying that until next year sometime, so I haven't really begun to learn it all yet...

3/15/2010 9:10:27 PM

set up these good pics
