im just an amateur photographer using a nikon camera at night on my way home from the beach, i hope this is good enough....too much noise, i had little light that time and the flash would make it look ugly
My backyard. I get beautiful sunrises every morning. This is "Hdr'ed" from 5 exposures. I've tried to make the resulting image look painterly without too much "over" processing...but I understand these images can be controversial. I hate 3 quarters of them at least!
Small version of a 80 megapixel stitched panorama. Near sunset (the sun is above the clouds illuminating them) at the 10,000 foot elevation summit of Haleakala. If you think this is a pretty scene...you should spend a few minutes and watch the 1080P partial time lapse video I took here of the sunset. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBsR5Ogeiq8
I'm not usually one for artsy filters in Photoshop, but this contest made me want to play around with the palette knife filter. Took the pic a while ago with a point and shoot.
Exposure 3.2 | Aperture f/5.6 | Focal Length 70 mm | ISO Speed 200
Small version of a 3 image stiched panorama out the window of a 737 at 35,000 feet and 500 mph. :) These are fun pictures to take if you have good weather and the window isn't too scratched up.
Taken in September. Had just finished kayaking Lake Atitlan and came across this hammock while exploring the hotel grounds. Craziest part is this place was $34 a night.
Took this picture with a Canon Rebel XS from the top of a 30 foot tree- not sure why but it looks like I'm 10 feet up... The scary part is that the wind MPH was 50+, and this wasn't a strong tree. Every few seconds I would be half crushed by this "puny" tree (it was still bigger than me!). She (the dog) kept on trying to hop up in the tree!
I can't win the prize (though I wish I could), so I decided to show off more than just one photo from a recent hot air balloon ride I took. If you're going to submit to the contest, make sure to only submit one photo, to make it fair.
Blackfriars Bridge, Facing north-east from the top of Kings Reach Tower, London. Taken on an urban exploration.
Sashimi at a recent visit to Izaka-Ya, near the Manhattan Beach pier.
Chocolate Spice Icebox cookies spilling out of antique mason-style jars with metal lids.
I don't know why, but I love cereal. I have like four bowls a day!
My husband is Arab, and this dish is one of his Mom's most popular dishes. She stuffed cucumbers with rice and ground meat, and we finished it by simmering it in tomato sauce on the stove top for an hour and a half. That was soooo delicious.
Took this picture while on a steam boat on Lake Geneva. Not sure why the flag is only stars...
I saw this dead cat on the side of the road going to my school. He was struck by a rushing car. #Teary eye
Time-out may only be for a few minutes, but to a child it is a cold and desolate wasteland that you are banished to for an eternity.
Wake Skating... or trying to. Its way easier with 4 wheels on a concrete!
I'm ineligible to win, but this is my current favorite action shot - surfers moving in different directions toward the mouth of a cave in Uluwatu, Bali.
I shot one of my friends car cruising around while we look for locations to shoot at.
managed to click this while i myself was walking on the road in Mattancherry, Distt. Fort Kochi, Kerala
My baby loves her Jumperoo, and she's gotten quite fast at jumping up and down in it.
This isn't a huge action shot. I haven't mastered the art of the action shot yet, but I like how he looks like he's dancing instead of skateboarding.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so I guess a video just comes out and says it. Dancing in front of a Flash firework on the 4th of July.
Didn't realize it until I got home, but the sun cast a shadow on my glasses and created a trendy hipster mustache on my face.
Taken with a Logitech C-200 webcam. Disabled the "Auto" settings and played around with the gain, hue and contrast settings
Healthcare providers have unique desktop environments that range from "Workstations on Wheels" to nursing stations in
“The most important of life's battles is the one we fight daily in the silent chambers of the soul.”
It is not flesh and blood, but heart which makes us fathers and sons.
This shot was taken at my desk at work. I have huge windows behind me that always seem to blast out any photo taken in that area. This time I tried to use it to my advantage.
Trying to be a good father and listen to what my son has to say.
Just messing around, wishing I had a bottle top tripod.
This big wheel is in an abandoned theme park in Berlin, Germany.
I can't remember who this was, but saw them at the Troubadour. They were opening for another band. There was like two people there for the opener. Felt kinda bad, but that's life.
Taken at an amazing carnivorous plant store in Northern Cal.
This is my little girl 4yrs old. And one crazy day off with dad today!!! I think it would have been better with just her in the photo, but she insisted that I be in the photo (after 3 shots) this is the result!! I am lucky to have some cool kids. #giveawaytuesdays
My cat (one of them). Taken with iPhone, squared using Instagram, but with the Normal filter. Thought it was good enough as is.
Ok, so I can't win. But I couldn't resist the siren call of ice cream.
A cup of coffee shared with a friend is happiness tasted and time well spent. Android App : Vignette
Took this out during a visit to LA. Loved the sunny weather out there...
