Show us your alltime favorite photo, taken by YOU

[Bundbuster]

This was shot in Colorado's Flattops Wilderness, pre-sunrise; 3 best friends in their one-man backpacking rafts, huge brook trout caught minutes later.



I showed you mine - now show us yours.

1. Mine's a sad photo

Taken last summer at a rally for striking Tyson workers in Jefferson, WI. This photo pretty much sums up the situation.

[rockymountaindem]

2. How do you post photos?

I have a good one I'd like to put up.

[eyesroll]

3. It needs to be online somewhere else first

I use a free account at Club Photo (www.clubphoto.com). Upload it there then paste the URL of the picture (NOT the page the picture is on -- the picture itself) into the post window.

[Bundbuster]

4. You can do it from your hard drive

Go here:http://207.137.168.225/

- click "Browse" and select the image from your files, i.e. from "my documents."

- After you select and "open" it, its path will appear to the left of "Browse" on that upload page. Click "Upload."

- Now highlight and "copy" everything between "http..." and "...jpg" (has to be a jpg with no "illegal characters).

- Paste it into your thread reply & preview it - it should show up.

22. rmdem, if you want to email a photo to me, I'll host it

just PM me for my email address. I can stick it into one of my web forum hosting pages, and email you the address and how to post it.

If you are a Delphi gold member, you have access to your own "picture page" as well.

There's probably several DU'ers who can give you free picture storage websites, as well.

Can't wait to see it! Still trying to decide on my "favorite"....

[Bucky]

5. I like this one best--took me hours to get there & was almost killed 4 it

My proudest achievement. Here's also some work I did on my next family holiday that earned me a nice fat check for well in excess of $100!



Here's one of my earliest pieces (the lighting wasn't very good)

[Bundbuster]

6. Hey - that's me in your 2nd photo

13. So hard to pic just one...

Mt. Shuksan




Quillayute




One of several falls near Hurricane Ridge




The most ent-like tree I've ever seen. Rain forest of the Hoh River.




Intended to be a photo of San Francisco's Coit Tower, I call this Coit-us interruptus.

October crabbing boats




The Great Wall of China




Paradise Point, Mt. Rainier

[GOPisEvil]

15. You take lovely photographs!

Of course, this is hardly surprising, given your immense talent.

[SOteric]

28. *L*

Thank you.

I bungle a lot of things, too ya know. I just don't publicise them much.

[Bundbuster]

16. Great photos all, SOteric

Did you shoot the Mt. Rainier picture with a long telephoto?

The purple mountains' majesty indeed! (Mt. Shuksan too)

Man, I need to get out to the Olympic Peninsula with camera...dug it as a yute years ago.

[SOteric]

27. Yep. Long telephoto with a polarised filter

from a twin engine Cessna.

[Mobius]

49. Wow, those are fantastic

wow :wow:

[ConcernedCanuk]

14. Beauty pic, - made it my desktop/wallpaper for now

.

did you have an electric trolling motor, or just "coasting"?

I'm a "shore" fisherman at the moment,

but am considering getting either a 12' sports-pal or a wee inflatable - -
And I got SO many pictures that are favorites

Clik on my "eyes" or the "CC" in my sigline to see them -

but here's my favorite for now,

It's my view across from one of my most favorite camping spots

no apologies for the size -



Some thumbnails of other pics

[Bundbuster]

17. Thanks, CC - no motors after a 7-mile backpack

It was a small wilderness lake we'd never fished before. Imagine our surprise when we all caught 4-pound brookies that morning.

*If you want a better wallpaper image of that pic, PM me with your email addy and I'll send it to you in either 10 or 5 MB scan size.

[regnaD kciN]

18. I can't make it "one" or "all-time"...

...since most of my all-time favorites are on film, and haven't yet been scanned into machine-readable form for posting.

However, here are four favorites from the past year (when I started using a digital camera):

21. And two from Amsterdam

[U of M Dem 07]

37. I remember seeing that!

When I was there 2 years ago. My Mom loves pub signs, and I think she actually took a picture of this exact one. :)

[DemoTex]

23. Bombed-out Ho Chi Mihn Trail near Tchepone Laos.

[Bundbuster]

31. Glad you made it back alive, DemoTex

That's a very eerie picture - bad memories.

[northofdenali]

24. I can't decide!

This was a sunset (we don't have many in summer) during a major forest fire near Fairbanks. Taken from Hagelbarger Drive.

Another sunset, this time on Turnagain Arm near Anchorage, during breakup:


GOPisEvil is not the only one who plays golf!


Caribou on the taiga in ANWR - that frozen, vast wilderness with NOTHING on it............... where oil will be drilled if * is reelected.

[NewHampster]

25. A few of mine

Odd Job?


Lake Lugano

St. Pietro

[hyphenate]

26. I haven't scanned a lot of my pictures yet

But this is one I took in October last year. To me, it was a happy accident--sometimes the abstractness of it seems almost mystical. I was in a car, and we were moving when I took it.

[Bundbuster]

30. "Happy accident" - I'll say!

You should get that published.

[Rabrrrrrr]

34. Wow! Very cool!!

It's amazing the shots that one can get accidentally. I have4 a number of them myself that if I tried to jerk the camera to get the effect, I'd never do it, but a sneeze or stepping into a pothole or havign a fly land on my hand was just the right amount of camera movement to make the image sing. :-)

That is a truly amazing and excellent photo. Something I'd be willing to buy at an art show, etc. Indredible beauty and a very mesmierizing bit of movement in it. I could stare at it for a long time without getting bored.

29. summa mine

Shrunk to spare your loading time:

Graceland Cemetary, Chicago


Santa Cruz, CA


Berkeley 1989

[Bundbuster]

33. OK, I'll bite

Where was that * graffiti shot taken? LMFAO

<artist sleeps in Gitmo>

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

35. Berkeley

I took it from a car as I was driving around town with a friend I was visiting in Oakland. This was in 1989. Everything old is new again. ;)

[alfredo]

36. Maybe not my best, but my favorite. Gigante, the cyclist was a dear

friend and mentor. This day he had returned from the 68 Mexico olympics. He had become a hero for his ride. Even though he wrecked and had several flat tires he still finished well up in the field. He had won all the warm up races leading up to the big race, and had caught the eye of an Italian pro team.

Getting back to that day. He had broken away on a solo attack. He lapped the field four times. It was an incredible performance.

Even though he was a hero to all, he stayed humble and focused.


I kept the image yellow on purpose. In the image he is receiving a peeled orange from his team manager.

38. Bravo! All those rapt faces

in the background help make that a real keeper.

I'm a sports photographer by trade, some lucky shots here:

[alfredo]

40. Love those images.

You really caught him.


I was fortunate to live in Eritrea for a few years. The faces of the people are stunning.

this was from a 30+ year old slide. It was a mess, but Photoshop and a bit of time has made it presentable.


Look at these gorgeous faces.

[Bundbuster]

41. Great pictures on your Photopages, alfredo

especially the little girls' innocence and hope. Funny how after shooting all sorts of scenery, events, buildings, sunsets, etc., it really comes back to humanity and all of its expressions.

A few more of my favorites...

[alfredo]

43. Very good. Two noble characters.

I have gotten away from photographing people. I guess working with the public for so long has burned me out. I seem to like rust and rot much more these days. I still photograph people, but only those I know.

[slinkerwink]

39. here are several of my shots

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

42. Rose In Winter

Taken in Nashville, after an unexpected spring snowstorm. I was always kinda proud of this shot. Taken with an old Nikon 35mm.

[Bundbuster]

46. That's a winner, #6

I wonder if the digital whizzkids could make that same soft light & color capture as with your film? I'm hearing lately that digital has come to equal the quality of negative or slide film in an 8 x 12 print, but I've not seen it yet.

[gkdmaths]

45. the only *alltime favorite* i have on my harddrive?

unless you have a few days so i can find the ol' prints and scan... :)

My fiance, Kalie:


Too bad i cropped this old pic, the whole image is quite nice if you're into human form. The highlight on the left is not on the print, but on the digital version. I cant seem to scan those values on my old flatebed.

Pushed Kodak Plus-X Pan 125 through one of my old 6x6 TLRs. printed on Ilford warmtone (MGW) paper. add 3 weeks of contunuous burning/dodging in my bathroom to perfection. I really love the girl too....

:)

[SheWhoMustBeObeyed]

47. Nice! puts me in mind of Stieglitz

[Mobius]

48. look at the "my photo" link

3rd row down on this page for larger image

I took in in the summer of '85 from right underneath the Eiffel Tower. I hadnt seen it photographed that way, and havent since. the original is clearer

[JaySherman]

50. You're looking at it:

My sig pic.

[Deja Q]

51. I missed an opportunity... or three.

Two involved accidents, but it's not too late to take one other even though the snow is gone:

Dusk photo of a farm on a cloudy night. Everything in the area looks gray. It is to signify the death of the farming industry; having been raped and pillaged by the corporate juggernauts.

But the leaves haven't budded yet. And it might look more poignant without the snow on the ground. Let's hope it's cloudy in a melancholy order tonight...

[Deja Q]

52. I've got 200 pics off of my main website, but there's this one:

For that pic I'd scanned in the print...

I scanned in the negative and got a better looking image, though I also discovered that after PROEX made the print, the dumbass had scratched it. I can correct it, but I hate it when they scratch things up. x(



Is another...

http://www.thermodynamic-online.com/photography has a lot more; though I could weed out the worst pics... Some of the pages' initial pages don't come up, but the meun that pops up does work. I do need to redesign them eventually...
