Sandwich: Big ol' rusty ol' caterpillar treads. All sorts of derelict farming equipment lying around out here, it ain't good for scavenging but it can look pretty cool.

Really a pity all of it's so crapped-out, be kinda fun to get some proper motors and **** and go all Dog Solitude with the crap out here.


KT: Metal dealie... you mean the truck or the treads?




Oh, and here's a pair that actually came out better, most of those were just what was lying on my desk at the moment I was testing the new toy out.

Why? Don't think there's really much more to see.

Stryke, you have a great sense of photography there... if I were you I'd develop it and branch out in any way you can. :yes:

Macrophotography is funnnn....Stuff looks so cool close up.
Wash: This landing's gonna get pretty interesting.
Mal: Define "interesting".
Wash: *shrug* "Oh God, oh God, we're all gonna die"?
Mal: This is the captain. We have a little problem with our entry sequence, so we may experience some slight turbulence and then... explode.

[color=cc9900]1cm macrophotography can be even more fun, on occasion. I tried it with a miniscule macro lens and some teleconverters I somehow managed to acquire once, with intriguing results. Things like that look interesting because it's something you're not at all used to seeing, but it's not like microscopic images which are so radically different as to be unrecognisable.[/color]

Corsair: Indeed. And it's what's left when you've had your fill of sunsets. :D

Sandwich: Working on that, much as I can. It's one of those few things I don't get bored of too easily. Only problem really is the scarcity of proper photo courses and stuff.

Steak: Um, many. :D


And... more you say? Predictably enough, the scanner crapped out on the thirteenth one and I've gotta go poke at it until I figure out what's making it give me scan lines, but I suppose this'll do.

Some are small. Some are, um, sized for printing. You've been warned.

 
3) dunno, can't really see any feeling here
4) i like it, 2 pieces of twined wire coming from a tree wich grown around them, right?
5) nice shot, how did you take it?
6) strange how cool a simple basement light can be.
7)what is it?
8) nice, nice indeed, i like nature pictures
9) i like this one, the viewpoint makes it look like it was taken from a ladder or something flying.
10) fungus on treebark, right? nice, it really takes some time to see what it is
11) dunno what it is, really.
12) nice, what kind of plant is it?

Do you have a gallery on DeviantArt? If not, why not?

Kas: The telephone pole one? I stood on the ground and pointed the camera. Granted, the ground was rather bumpy there...
I'm not entirely sure what #7 is, which really bothers me because I can remember exactly the circumstances under which I took most of the pictures (hell, half the reason I started taking pictures in the first place was as a memory aid). I'm pretty sure it was a tanning bed.
Ten's on brick, actually. Really, really ancient house I was doing some ****work at (literally. And you'd be surprised at how much more wet fertilizer can weigh on a hot day).
And eleven's just some construction-yard spraypaint on a country road. I just liked the sort of snakey impression of movement it gave me.
Your guess is as good as mine for the grass. It's not native, the odds of me being able to identify it are pretty slim. Some ornamental stuff in front of a minimansion.
Thanks for your comments, I wasn't so sure about the water tower one either (though that was far and away the most interesting picture I've taken here in the past three or so months. Really.)

Sandwich: Nope. Got webspace enough, and while I like getting feedback on my stuff, I always figured it'd be more efficient to spend my time trying to find people who could express their interest in dollar values, if you know what I mean. Naturally, I've never had much luck, but then again I've fared better there than in trying to pull a steady paycheck. And last time I checked DeviantArt didn't exactly thrill me. Maybe I had it set on "show only badly-done scribblings of the sort most people are content to just line their notes with" or something.
But while I'm stuck out here I might give it a shot, I dunno. Guess it can't hurt.
