What I've learned about the sun last days: It may be your "enemy", but also your ally. I hate when I have to take a photo against the sun. However, sometimes I seize the opportunity to try something interesting.




This is The Torch Bearers, a sculpture by Anna Hyatt Huntington:



^ I think the light gives a kind of "epic touch" to this image.

When you're not using a DSLR, mind your CCD. It's really not fond of direct sunlight or any bright direct light at all.

I think this shot looks like he's confronting the abyss.

It looks like he's staring at a beautiful lush landscape to me. Unless you mean the abyss of oncoming male pattern baldness.

Wow! That is an amazing photo! I love it! <3

Btw, I noticed you are from Spain. That is awesome! I spent two months of summer during college studying at the Universidad de Salamanca (via a study abroad program). I had such a marvelous time! Really enjoyed my visit.

Went outside to take some pics today.
Since this forum doesn't (or does it?) support image tags with resolutions in them, I shall post the links to protect everyone from scrolling like a menace

Tip: Click them all with your middle mouse button or while holding CTRL. This opens the images in the background. You will then have all photo's open in a tab. Saves a lot of time compared to click, load... back, click, load... back...

Very nice photos s_k! You're really great with nature/scene shots. I really love that first pic (w/ the pond). And the ones of the field w/ like the powerlines (?). Those had some neat creative composure.

Looks like you live in a lovely place!

I guess I do .
The pond is actually on a golf court, but I tried to hide that.
And those are indeed powerlines

Oh, Salamanca! The fourth oldest University in the World. Amazing historical city too. I live in Madrid (I call it "Matrix" because its name derives from the ancient Latin word Matrice, which means matrix ), which is very old and very new at the same time. So I've shot at diverse "photographic targets", such as a medieval Muslim wall (9th century) and 21st-century skyscrapers:



3.3 million inhabitants... including "saints".... and "sinners"...


...and above all, the sky:

Very nice pictures man.
Are you still making all this with a kodak compact camera?
You deserve something better. Who knows what beautiful pictures you can make then

Eitherway, I bought two camera's today on a bootsale.
One is a VERY vintage Sony Mavica FD91

A VERY expensive camera back in the day but, it has to be said, even for 1999 it's pretty grainy:

But it's really very brilliant to work with

Then I got this little Fuji MX700 which is a year older...

Looks pretty modern though. And the pictures are actually better than those from the oldskool Mavica.

Quite nice
