Now that we've got DavyWavy sorted out, is anyone interested in posting the best photograph that they have taken? Not necessarily of family but just a GOOD photograph.

My tropical plants must be grown in pots so I feel I really accomplished something when they bloom.

That's beautiful, you caught it at just the right moment. This is my favourite, it's the Great Court at the British Museum.

Surely there's more of you with photographs that you are proud of, show them to us!

Not necessarily my best - I'll keep looking This was taken in October 1977 in Penang, on Batu Feringgi beach in front of the Rasa Sayang Hotel.

It's scanned from a photo so the quality's not the greatest.

I like this one for the sense of peace....



.... and this one for the sense of symmetry.

I have a lot of photos of my wife from the Philippines, and some I like better than this one, but I liked the colors in this one for some reason.


My wife's little cousin is quite a charmer!

This isn't my best photo, but it's one of my favorites. I call it Moon River.

That's nice, bobbo.

Wow! There are some really nice shots in this thread...

Thanks!!



DavyWavy

mmm that one did turn out rather well. I like it.

Moonriver. That is a beautiful picture and a beautiful song too.

I picked up a tip once using a tripod for taking such a shot and a zoom lens. Frame the picture like you have done and zoom up to the moon to make it bigger and take the photo making sure no trees are in the shot. Then reload, holding in the button on the camera to stop the film advancing. Now frame the picture again and re-expose the same frame.

You then get a bigger moon in the same shot.

So if you ever get the chance to go back there you could give it a try.

There are probably more expert people here who can tell you a better way.

What makes these pictures special is the fact that they are taken not by a pro with a trained eye but by people that see the beauty in eveyday life. I really like the moods in the different shots.
Here is pic of a dragonfly nymph holding onto the waterlily like he is trying to keep it from opening.

Hi Noreen, I'm no photographer, but now and again, one comes out OK. This is especially true if that picture is of the best two Grandchildren on the planet!!!
Nice thread, hope that it keeps going.
Sincerely,
Richard.

Here's another one that I like. It's part of the ceiling of medieval Bath Abbey, it's very high.

Come on DavyWavy let's see one of yours!

Attachment #1, (jpg file)

Some really nice shots there

These two I like because of the way they play with perspective.

Noreen...

I can't post any more pics cause' my last one put me over the limit...
(I didn't know there was a limit)...not sure how long I will be exiled
but will maybe post one later. These are great shots, aren't they?
Did you see the one Alex posted of Kawai...Kawaui...Kwauaia...that
island over by Hawaii?

And Bobbo's "Moon River"!!!



DavyWavy

I think that the limit (50KB) only applies to that particular post.

I used to enjoy taking candid photos in available light. I have thousands of pictures in both color and black & white from all over the world.

This one I just scanned. I took it about 50 years ago in a London pub. It's an interesting character study that will stir the memories of anyone who spent much time in an English pub.

That's a good one Shelly!

Here is another B&W I shot in London half a century ago. Outside the National Gallery, street artists draw pictures on the concrete sidewalk. Here is one that looked up as I spoke to him, and this picture was the result.

Maybe not one of our best, but I like this one for some reason.

It almost looks like that picture has attitude. Nah... he's too young

Awwwww, the simple pleasures in life that make us happy!

This was my passport photo that was taken in mid 1977 prior to the Singapore/Penang holiday in October where I took my earlier photo in this thread... oh my goodness!

Just starting out in underwater photography. Here's my best shot of a christmas tree worm. I don't know if this will work

Attachment #1, (jpg file)

Very nice, Steve. Interesting creatures, those "sea worms". I saw an interesting documentary once, showing different specimens. Amazing shapes and colours.

I'm commenting on a few here, but I have to say that everyone has posted very nice pictures. I like pictures of scenery most of all, but I also enjoy a "slice of life", like in some of those posted.

This is my brood. It's the only time this year when I've been able to get them to sit still long enogh for a group photo.
Some of you may remember little Elizabeth who was born 1 year ago tomorrow. She was 13lb 6oz then. I don't think she's added much since then.

I love the macro feature of my Olympus C4040.

All beautiful photographs. The house looks all "Christmassy" and cosy even in the snow. A real family home. Shelley's photos are excellent, and express a deep humanism I haven't particularly noticed before. I do now.

The flowers are excellent too and nice crisp focus.

Our family used to live in Singapore and took at trip up the East coast road to Penang en route to the Cameron Highlands. There were still aborigines there at that time who used blowpipes to catch game in the jungle.

I have a LOT of 35mm slides that I would like to get onto CD-ROM from this period, 1958-1961 and from my Fathers trip to Japan via Suez and our family trip from Southampton to Singapore in a troopship. (Nevassa)

Anyone advise on the best equipment and program, and the price range of such, to use for this and B&W photos so I can run a slide show on this 19" monitor?

I took this photo as a reminder of the days of steam which played a big role in the cotton mills in this area. This town (Shaw, Oldham) used to be labelled King Cotton and used to boast more millionaires than the rest of England added together, alas those days have long since gone.
The picture features 4-6-0 Black 5 #45379 built in 1936/37 and I decided to get this as a reminder because the line is soon to close and be replaced by a light transit system.

Pete, is your image in jpeg format and did you click on jpeg in the attachment window?

Hi Noreen
Thanks for your reply, the answer to your questions is yes on both counts.

Hey peeps....long time no see! I have some pics taken at the ocean a few minutes from my house. This is also where we hold our annual canoe race.

This is Pisew Falls (hissing of the lynx in Cree) about an hour south of where I was born and grew up, Thompson, Manitoba.



This is my son at 6 years old the summer he got up enough nerve to jump of the diving board. This pic still cracks me up. I call it "throwing all caution to the wind".

Since we're showing favorite people, here's one of my favorites with my two grandsons and my daughter.
