Photograph Of The Day

[Hameister]

I've noticed most forums have a thread where people who enjoy taking digital photos can post their snaps. These threads are generally very successful and go on for years. There aren't a lot of rules. Just try to keep your photos under 300kb if possible, to preserve bandwidth.

Post anything you'd like. Your computer, your car, wildlife pictures, people, places, things, what ever. It goes without saying, that they should be in good taste, and hopefully of interest to others. If you have to ask, "what is good taste?", don't post it. If you'd like, you could give us a brief description of the photo, or information on your camera, and/or it's settings when the snap was taken. It's all up to you. Of course the photo you post should be taken by you, and not something you lifted from the Net.

That's about it....oh, one more thing, this is not the place for criticism, or lecturing on how a better photo could have been taken. Photographic advice should be given only when asked for, so that the photographer isn't made to feel that he/she, is being critiqued. All photos are welcome, whether taken by a $59.00 point 'n shoot, or a $2,000 DSLR. It's the subject matter that folks should be interested in, and not the technical quality.

I wish I could post a few snaps of my 2013 GS, but I'm still waiting on delivery. So, I'll kick things off with this photo I took about a year ago, not far from where I live.

Nope, ha, that's a West Palm Beach bird.

Come on, post a photo...lets get this thing going! :thumbsup:

Nice snap!!! Definately different!

Didja take that photo yourself?

Here's another one of my wildlife photos taken at the Green Cay Wildlife Preserve, near my home.

Sometimes, while trying to get a good shot, I tend to get a little too close, like this one...

Heck no. Someone posted it on another one of my forums. But it was too funny of a photograph to pass up posting here.

 

[Rich Z]

Here's a few I took some years ago.

 

[Rich Z]

And a few more...

 

[Rich Z]

But wait! There's more!

 

[Hameister]

Wow!!!

Great shots all, whatever your usin', it's lens probably costs more than my entire camera and lens combined.

I especially like the eye on that yellow/black frog, and the 3rd dragonfly down! Nice snaps.

As long as we're on dragonflies, I'll dig up a few of mine...

Here is a pic I took of a litter of baby corn snakes when I was in the business of breeding reptiles.

Now that's a unique snap! I like it!

Here's a White Peacock that I caught at just the right moment...

Here are a couple of critters that live around here. The bunny was in the yard last year. I scared him while cutting the grass. The family of deer live out behind the pond in the woods.

We have a hot air ballon enthusiast here and one morning while leaving for work they flew over the house. Though it was kind of cool, with the neighbor's Christmas decorations.

 

[Hameister]

Nice neighborhood Mickey. Unusual balloon photos.

The snap of the White Tail Deer, brings back memories of my home upstate New York where I lived for 20 years. We had a small pond, just like the one in the photo, and there were always deer there.

Here's a few that some might enjoy. These are photos of my computer that I built using a water cooled i7 3930k processor...

That's a NICE system! I've got the same case. But I've only got a single GTX580 Ultra in mine. I had a GTX590 for a while, but had nothing but problems with it, and eventually returned it for a refund. One thing I have learned about EVGA is that you really don't want to be the first on your block with one of their new products. So when they come out with their 700 series, I'll think about getting one of their 600 series boards.

Do you play any games on that rig? :hehehe:

Thanks, sure I play games. That's the primary reason I built it. As for EVGA, I'm surprised to hear you say that. I've been buying their graphics cards for many years, and never had an issue, starting with the 8800GT.

I just wait about 2 months after a new series is released to be sure there are no bugs, and then I buy. I skipped the 680 cards because this pair of 580s are still slicing through every new game I buy, with all the eye candy cranked to max., and frame rates are still around 65 to 80fps even with the latest games.

I had every intention of buying a pair of 780s when they're released, but now I'm not so sure. I'll be getting Sniper2:Ghost Warrior in January, and then Crysis3 is being released in Q1 '13 as well. Both are based on the Cryengine3. If they run fine with all the graphic variables max'd out then I'll skip the 780s, at least for a while, or perhaps even until the 880 cards are released. Of course if Crysis3 gives me any problems what-so-ever, then the 580s are getting shipped to my grandson, and I'll buy a pair of 780s.

I admit it, I am obsessed, I cannot play any game unless I'm seeing the graphics at they're best, and smooth at 60fps or higher.
