Photography!

 

I love photography. LOVE it. This past Christmas I half bought-half got a Canon Rebel XS and it is the most amazing thing ever. Here are some of my pictures-

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Admin, if there are too many pictures you can delete some.

 

So. Do you love photography? What are your favorite things to take pictures of? If you can, post your pictures here (with no people in them).

 

Here is how I post my photos-

First, I post them on my blog (to make it work, you just have to put your pictures on the internet BEFORE posting them on the CB. I use blogger because I have a blog, but I'm sure you could use Facebook, Flickr, etc.)

Then I copy and paste them into the comment box! Ta-da!

 

All images are copyrighted by me :)

Oh my goodness! You took those pictures? They're so pretty! I especially love the READ one and the lemonade one. You're really good. :-)

Julia, those are fantastic!  You are an amazing photographer.  Lots of people on the site seem to have an eye for beautiful pictures.  I don't think I have one, but I do adore taking photos, even if they aren't any good.  I don't have a Facebook or a blog (wow, I feel pathetic) so I don't know if I can post any, but I'll try. =)

My favorites are the flower, the lemonade, the nail in the wood, and the beads. I love how the beads slowly come into focus in the foreground.

Beautiful pictures! Thanks so much for sharing! And it's great to see you again. :)

WOW! You are an amazing photographer! I can't believe you took those yourself. The closeups are really great! I also love to take pictures and videos. :)

Don't worry, you can post them on a microsoft word document instead of a blog or Facebook.

Aetc says anri. Anne Rice? I've never read any of her books, but maybe he likes them.

These photos are so super awesome! :D I love the bead photo and the grass photo and the Scrabble photo and the flower photo and the lemonade photo...I love all of them! ;) I'll try and post some pictures soon, I'll have to get creative because the Admins don't want me posting photos with the blog copyright and all the photos on the blog have a copyright. :[  Maybe I'll post them on Flickr and then post some. :) Thanks for posting photos Julia, happy to see you posting on CB!

Those pictures are amazing. I really like that one with all the dewdrops on the grass. I got a camera for Christmas and went crazy taking pictures with it. I really like taking pictures of people, but I also like to take pictures of landscapes.

Darn.  Well, thanks so much Admins.  I just tried taking those directly off my email, and they showed up in the comment box, and I even made their size smaller, but I guess it has to be on the Internet.  Thanks anyways! 

 Sorry, RD. We would have loved to see your pictures! Admin

@R~D~: Try saving your photos on something like Flickr, Photobucket, Tinypic (I don't think you need an account for Tinypic), etc. etc. And it might be a good idea to save your pictures as JPEG files. Hope this helps! :-)

I really like your photos!  Especially the lemonade one and the one with the Scrabble pieces.

These are just a couple random pictures of mine.  I'm copying it off Flickr, so hopefully it should work.  I've never tried with Flickr before.

I've edited some of those pictures on Photoshop since I put them on Flickr, but it'd take too much time to upload the newer versions, so these aren't really the best.  

And in reply to your questions.. YES I LOVE PHOTOGRAPHY ASODUSHOAUDHAOSIDH. Just a bit.  I think my favorite things to take pictures of are people, just like capturing their personalities and such; but obviously I can't post those pictures on here.  I also like close-ups, but not that much.  I love taking pictures of cool architecture, like the beautiful buildings in downtown Portland, and some of the buildings in Boston.  I have a Canon Rebel XS, too, and I love it to death.  I also have a Olympus OM-10 camera, but, so far, I haven't developed any of the film.  I will soon!  I want to buy an old Polaroid camera too, because I love the old antique feel those photos have.  But no where in Maine sells Polaroid film (my brother's girlfriend has to go to Boston to buy some), so that wouldn't really work I guess.  I'm taking a photography class at the local art college!  It's sort of fun. :) I can't wait until summer, when it's actually warm enough for me to want to go outside and take pictures.  Ohh my gosh I'm so excited.

 Sorry Kenzie, you're pictures didn't show--only the file names. Did you right click on the picture and clicked copy? It sounds like they are amazing, though!  -Admin

Oh, weird.  Apparently it doesn't work if you use Flickr.  I tried putting the pictures on my old blog, but it's not working.  I'll try Facebook.

Since I copied these from Facebook, they're huge, so sorry... 

 Still nothing. Sorry, Kenzie! -Admin

Hm. That's annoying that this isn't working for us! :(  I think the one time I was able to post a picture was because I took it off of my Aunt's Picassa (or however you spell it) account.

@R~D~: It is so awful that you can't post any of your photos! :( I really hope you find a way to make them work, I want to see them so badly...I think that once I sent photos to myself in an e-mail and then opened Cricket in a new tab and dragged the photos from my mail tab to the CB tab. Did you try that already? Anyway, I'm sorry they are not working! *hugs*

Ok, I'm trying one more time, off Tumblr.  This is the only picture I've posted on Tumblr myself, but if it works, I'll put more on soon.  If not, then I won't post any. :/

Sorry, Kenzie, the picture's not showing up.

I FINALLY GOT A PICTURE TO UPLOAD ON MY BLOG.  But it took a really long time, so I'm only uploading the one, because chances are, it won't even work trying to get it on here.

 

 

Yes, it worked, Kenzie. How adorable!
