The Energon Pub

So recently, I've had the urge to get into photography. A conveniently timed tax return spurred me to pick up a DSLR and try my hand at it. I picked up a Nikon D90, and a Nikkor 35mm f/1.8 last weekend. I'm really interested in shooting 'street photography' but unfortunately I recently moved to a small rural town, and needless to say, there isn't very many interesting subjects to shoot on the streets!

Does anyone else here dabble in photography? Any pros? If there's a few of us, this thread might be a cool place to talk, share photos, critique, etc...

I have a Nikon Coolpix L18. I've taken a photography class back when I was in college and learned alot. Here's a link to two pics I took with it. Need to upload my more recent ones.

They have watermarks as I was trying to sell them. I'll post some more once I get them uploaded. I love doing macros.

I dabble every now and then if the weather's right and I see something interesting. I'm by no means into professionalism or artistry though, I just take a picture of it if it speaks to me. It never hurts to have a camera handy.

A couple of photos then...

Field behind my house. I thought it was looking particularly beautiful on that day, so I took the camera out and snapped it.


Dog VS Hedgehog... Yeah I added lifebars. So sue me. ;p They were just standing there... Staring at each other, neither one moving. It took every bit of strength I had not to dissolve into laughter.

I've always liked Photography, but I've never done it professionally. I tend to be the one taking pictures in family vacations though.






I'm sure there's Fatality just waitign to happen in that picture though. I'd give it to the dog, If I didn't know first hand how agressive hedgehogs can be.

I wasn't worried about the Hedgehog, otherwise I would have shooed Sasha away, but she's ancient, can barely walk, and has no teeth left... The hedgehog wasn't in any danger thankfully. I wouldn't have let her do any harm to the poor litte thing regardless.

Can you photoshop the hedgehob blue?

I could but I won't. I don't want to spam up Jesterhead's thread with any more of my nonsense.

Not an expert by any means (I have no damn clue what kind of camera I'm using), but I've been taking photos for a few years now. Mostly at zoos, aquariums, museums and the like.




Each photo almost always takes a few (dozen) tries to get just right, which can be challenging with live subjects (turtles are THE worst), glass enclousures, and crowds of kids. Glad I got a digital camera.

TFW2005 has an inspiring thread on photographing TFs, which I like to participate when I can:



Thanks to essentially being still life, these are far easier to shoot, though often require some Photoshopping.

Awesome! Some really cool photos in here already!

Love the shot of that turtle!

I 'spose I'll share a few of mine as well!

I love taking pictures. I took photography for a year in high school back when it was all darkroom and also learned photoshop that same year in another classroom. How do i post some of my pic's it has been a long time since i have done it on this site?

That's awesome! I wish my high school had a class like that.

You'll need to host your images somewhere before you can post them here. http://www.imageshack.us works well. Then select the direct link to the image and post it here between img tags. Exmple:
