Been quiet on here lately but I need to change that. I went to the NC State Fair last night and captured this. The skies were awesome.

Nice. It's great when you get a great sky and somewhere decent to photograph at the same time. Nothing worse than being stuck in the office looking at a beautiful sunrise, or out at some stunning location, but the sky is dull and uninteresting.
You shot this with a 50mm?!! Brave man.

Personally, I shoot a butt-tonne in b&w because my philosophy is that if colour isn't actively contributing to the photo (and is a subject in itself) then I get rid of it. Otherwise I find it distracts from what I want to convey. What I like about your shot is that my eye is immediately drawn to the juxtaposition of smooth, silky water to the high-contrast, jumbled rocks. Nice one.

If you look closely, you can see the outline of the moon in the clouds. I would have loved to figure out how to make it clearer. The clouds were awesome but made it tricky.

You, good sir have been absolutely nailing it as of late. Nice work indeed.
Thanks man! I think I stopped posting here for a while, it's nice to throw stuff on here again
L'ostello by EmaDaCuz, on FlickrThis is an actual corner in a hostel in Russia. The idea was to compose a picture with (quasi) complementary colours. No post-production, with exception of a tiny exposure correction and a bit of graining.
Taken with my old Sony a230, Minolta 35-105, f/4, ISO 200.

Tip of the hat in respect here too. Really nice work and yeah, 50mm on that bad boy, you are brave!
Really like that effect you have applied, aged look maybe? Nice, really nice

Very nice shot. Really like it. I love to get pictures with the moon in them too and struggle to get nice definition of it and also get the general lighting of the frame too.
Lovely warm colours.
Lovely scene and good photo Doylem. This looks like the same person as in your last photo. I thought it was so went back to check!
Here's one of my brother I took while in Arizona. We were driving and saw some old railroad tracks without the dreaded third-rail we find in the UK. I'm not entirely sure if it was a route in active service, but after seeing that it stretched for miles in both directions (plus a few more things) we figured we could take a look around. I quickly snapped a few shots before we got back in the car.

Richard railroad front

I hope that I don't have to spell it out for you guys as you're all pretty switched on, but I feel the need to add a disclaimer: exercise lots of caution with railroads. I won't go in to all the detail of what we did to reduce the risks, but suffice to say we didn't exactly throw ourselves in the deep end.

Aw man I wish I could do that more often... Just sit down, take the weight off and enjoy the view.
That is such a serene picture.... well shot sir.
I don't specifically go for aged, but I like re-creating the tones of film, I'm not a purist about it finding specific film looks to rip off, rather: Create a tone that fits the emotion of the content.
Back from a very wet week in Wales. Lovely break from the rat race but photos were thin on the ground due to the weather. What I did take I was pretty disappointed with. Time to dig out the books and rethink how I shoot as I was expecting more "keepers".
Here's Mrs MacRy enjoying the falling leaves.

Thanks! Somewhat sleep deprived, but happier than I've ever been. Will probably post another pic or two, but will refrain from flooding the thread with baby pics #. Like cat pics, everyone thinks theirs are precious and unique while most of the time they aren't interesting to anyone outside of a close circle of family and friends.
Having said that, my son is the most photogenic baby to ever grace the planet
