Alright, allow me to show a small cross-section of some of the finest photos I've ever taken.

First off is probably THE most perfect shot of a woodland stream you'll likely ever see in your life :-
Woodland Stream
Oh yeah, I took that. I tell no lies. Funny thing about that picture, you'd think it was right smack-dab in the middle of a wood, wouldn't ya?
Well actually I snapped that up just 'round back of a medium-sized town park just a half-to-three-quarters-of-an-hour bus ride from my house.
Heck I would even take y'all right to that very stream if I could.

Okay next I think I'll flick through a few good pics of some birds...

Mandarin Drake
Great Flit
Robin
Chiff-Chaff
Blue Flit Singing
Robin Singing
Juvinile Kestrels
Long-tailed Flit
Stunning Swans
Cute Wagtail
Another Great Flit
Very Obligatory Robin
Great Greenfinch
Is This Cheating?
G.C.G With Fish
Don't See One Of These Very Often.
Robin On The Fence
This Thrush Was In No Rush.

And now for some non-bird piccies.

Sunbathing Butterfly
Dark Blue Damselfly
Beautiful Autumn Tree
Babble, Babble, Brook, Brook
Lone Snowdrop

I know, I know...that's a lot of links...but it's only the tip of the iceberg...you'll find countless more pictures like those littering My Photobucket Gallery.
Have fun browsing all that lot. lol.

I only have my iPhone for a camera anymore, so excuse the quality, but I took this pic of a water cistern that is one of a pair in front of the steps to the tai chi society I belong to.

Here's a tired little devil at a wildlife park:

And a waterfall which is not too far from my house. I've actually blown this photo up and put it on my wall.

Hi

Well, Hlaoroo told me here people can share photos they've taken so far, so this is my first photo =3

I'm not uploading more because I want you to tell me: would you mind if I put that watermark in the photos? I know they aren't winning an award xD But I want to have a control over them

See you soon!

Website · Post by **Hlaoroo** » Tue Jun 17, 2014 1:22 am

You were brave, standing there with that traffic coming at you!

Personally I think the watermark is fine. I've not seen many people using them here but I have seen plenty of photographers on other sites using them. I think as long as it doesn't massively impact the viewing of the photo (which yours doesn't) then it's fine. Besides, it's your photo so you have every right to protect it.

The photo looks great, by the way. You did well to soften the lines and textures like that.

zdflion96 · Post by **zdflion96** » Tue Jun 17, 2014 1:33 am

Thanks Hlaoroo

Actually I was inside a car! xD

But anyway, I see I can take good photos to reflect other situations

Phew! I thought the lines were too aggressive. Anyway, I'll adapt the watermark, so it won't affect other (more bright) photos

But... I put that photo on Dropbox

Do you know if I can use another web service? Dropbox has a traffic limit

And I saw some of your photos, they're nice too!

Website · Post by **Hlaoroo** » Tue Jun 17, 2014 1:47 am

Thanks.

A car does sound safer than just standing there.

There are a number of other image hosting sites out there. Photobucket, imageshack, imgur, and flickr are all good options. DeviantArt isn't bad either. Have a look around and see which you like the look of.

zdflion96 · Post by **zdflion96** » Tue Jun 17, 2014 1:54 am

Ok, I'll check that "tomorrow" xD [Here is almost 2 AM] xDDDD

See you then,

This is one of the local universities in town.

And here is another recent image that I uploaded recently to.

zdflion96 · Post by **zdflion96** » Sat Jun 28, 2014 2:15 pm

Very nice images Crimson!

Well, it's been a while since I got into here, so let me show you how's the afternoon right now:

1.- Trees and plants are green everyday, because it has rained for almost a month

2.- Today the Sun came up, but there are still clouds

3.- It's a bit blurry, but here's a bird standing on the bunch of phone cables:

Hope you'll like them!

Jacey · Post by **Jacey** » Sat Jun 28, 2014 2:18 pm

Thanks ZDF!
here is another one I found in my computer files

I also am not watching you on DA.

zdflion96 · Post by **zdflion96** » Sun Jun 29, 2014 4:58 pm

Don't worry Crimson, glad you liked the photos!

Also, your sunset

is pretty nice!

Today, I'm showing you some subway tickets I got from a friend. Although my country is out right now (Hey, they did it pretty well!), these are nice tickets, by the way!

Hope you'll like them!

I got a new phone with a pretty mean camera. I only carry my SLR on planned shoots so this gives me more opportunities to photograph.

These are Arcus clouds from the outflow of an intensifying thunderstorm. It was convective right as it reached town and the rain band appeared to be a brilliant dark turquoise. No tornado, though.

What looks to be roll clouds. Another type of arcus clouds, just without the thunderstorm.

Photobucket really degrades the quality, unfortunately. Still.. neat clouds.

Jacey · Post by **Jacey** » Sun Jul 06, 2014 2:04 pm

Those are really nice clouds kitela.

I hope to someday get an SLR. Do you know if they can get microscopic views, or at least get a clear focus of small stuff? My point and shoot becomes blurry after a time if I try to focus on small stuff.

Point and shoot cameras can actually be good with macro focus if you have the right one. There should be a macro setting.
With DSLR cameras, there are a variety of Macro lenses that will magnify any small stuff you wish to photograph. Plus, you can do things like this if you don't want to spend lots of money on a macro lens.

Jacey · Post by **Jacey** » Sun Jul 06, 2014 2:43 pm

Oh, I guess I just need to play a bit with the camera more. Though when I use macro focus sometimes the center of the display gets a yellow rectangle (just an outline not filled in) with a caution warning sign in the border. I am not sure what that means at all really.

Kitela · Post by **Kitela** » Sun Jul 06, 2014 3:16 pm

Is it still shooting the pictures?
Maybe your lens jams on something when it's adjusting. So it might just need cleaned.
I'm not really sure either. I would look that up on the manual for the camera.

Jacey · Post by **Jacey** » Sun Jul 06, 2014 3:32 pm

It does still take pictures. maybe it just doesn't work well if the lens zooms and tries to focus when its on Aperture Priority.

Hi everybody, it's been a while since my last photos, so...

Today's a sunny day, finally!

It's been raining here since May or June, so a sunny day between rainy days is almost a miracle!

I walked to the same place so you can compare this day with the other I put here some time ago.

Have a nice weekend!

This is going back a bit, but stumbled on it again and wanted to share.
Taken on the Metra going downtown to Union Station, Chicago.

Here's a stunning sunset from last night:
I've put it on my twitter and I might put more pictures there of various things I photograph as time goes by so be sure to follow me.

*advertises self shamelessly*

zdflion96 · Post by **zdflion96** » Wed Jul 16, 2014 12:47 am

*sees the ad xD* For me Hlaoroo, I don't care, the ad is fine xD

Excellent sunsets! I really really like them!

Website · Post by **Hlaoroo** » Wed Jul 16, 2014 2:14 am

Thanks!
They were taken on a phone so sorry about the terrible quality.

zdflion96 · Post by **zdflion96** » Fri Jul 18, 2014 9:56 pm

Friday: Today it rained as I show you with this photo

Satuday, afternoon: Hello again!

Do you remember the photo with the hail from yesterday

The weather here is changing so much... Today it's sunny. Sunny

Which makes me happy!

Have a nice weekend!

Saturday, evening: Edit for the last minute: It's raining again!!!

And with thunders!!!

zdflion96 · Post by **zdflion96** » Tue Aug 05, 2014 8:21 pm

Hello guys,

Today I got this, for me, really nice picture

And I wanted to share it with you

Notice the size of the Sun: it was really big today!

Hope you'll like it!

THE SUN IS EXPLODING!!! RUUUUNNNN!!!!!!

Nice photo!

Jacey · Post by **Jacey** » Wed Aug 06, 2014 2:22 am

I went fishing the other day. I only caught this nice image with my camera.

That's pretty, Drake.

zdflion96 · Post by **zdflion96** » Wed Aug 06, 2014 5:36 pm

Thank you Hlaoroo! Yes, I didn't realize it looks like an explosion

I really liked those landscapes you took, Drake! Thank you

For those that followed me on DA. I am making a new account.

I love that shot in of the lake. It reminds me of the lake that I went swimming at a few weeks ago when my grandparents who were in from Arizona were visiting,

So during TooManyGames and Nags Head, my grandma and I took some pictures and we've finally had them developed.

Here's some we took during TooManyGames.
