Here's some of my photography from the last months.

Some abstract macro shots I took for a school assignment:










Some other shots I took in my spare time in the surroundings:

That goat is staring straight into my soul.

The closest I could get to the fly with my 18-55mm ^^

Speaking of insects...

Niiiiiiice... Although I have to admit that I've got some kind of in-the-middle-of-the-pic fetish ;P
What equipment do you use?

Thanks! I like your pic better, mine was not much more than a lucky shot.

Equipment:



Sony DSC HX1 and my hand. Don't know the bee type.

Anyone into analogue photography? I find the pictures old used-to-be-super-expensive-at-some-point analogue cameras produce to have more character and charme than today's super accurate digital cameras such as the above.

Liampie, Hahahaha, was that yesterday?

Posix, can you explain a bit what 'analogue photography' is?

It was! Flashes and stuff almost every second, taking cool pictures was no effort instead of waiting for that one lucky shot.

Are you kidding me?

^we were in the lucky part of the netherlands, we saw flashes everywhere but we didn't hear anything so we sat outside the whole evening.

I'm not kidding you but I googled it just now because I thougt it probably was a translation error.
I know what it is but I don't get how it's better than digital photography.

It means using a film. Or 'rolletje', should that explain it better.


I find that a quality photographer can use either one equally effectively, posix. The major upside of digital is simply that you can directly check your work, and have a much easier way of shooting large amounts of footage.

Wow some pretty amazing pictures in here.
Kenneth's paper picture are really awesome and so are leonidas' panoramas.
Love looking at them.


Some of my own.
Pictures out of a series with 10 pictures inside and outside (5 pics each) of the Porsche Museum located
in Stuttgart, Germany.

Outside:





Inside:

Piri Weepu is the man!

That's a great picture, but I can't help thinking that the man is doing a nazi salute. Not trying to be funny here, I'm serious.

same reaction

Before reading what either of you two had posted, I immediately thought the same thing.

Heh, yeah I see that. I wish I could have gotten more of his body into the shot, as that might have shown his arm in better context. Unfortunately, since there were so many people in front of me, I was reduced to lifting the camera over my head and taking as many shots as possible, hoping one would be alright.

The punchline

Got bored and made that last night.

Going to the Seoul Lantern Festival next weekend, can't wait to shoot that.
