My Gallery

Hello friends

I would like to share my amatuer photography with you all. I have been out and about all weekend, so many of these are hot of the press.

Comments welcome, and thanks for looking

p.s I am new to this so please be kind

I think you have some wonderful photographs, and are well on your way in the photography world. By the way, I deleted the double post for you.

Beautiful photos Window of wonder is exceptionally beautiful I think.

Thankyou both for your comments. Window of wonder seems to be a hit with everyone... yet its my least favorite

I think I just like flowing water too much

I think I just like flowing water too much :silly:

You've taken a quote directly from my mouth except you have replaced Through the Window of History with Window of Wonder. It is funny how a picture that you are not that terribly fond of is a huge hit with everyone else. Time and time again, I'll sell a print and wonder why they chose that particular one when there are so many that I think are better to choose from. The main thing to remember in both of our cases is that our pictures are striking a cord with somebody, and that is a good thing.

And yes, I like flowing water too much as well.

I like water as well. Perhaps I ain't seeing too much waterfalls (none actually) and that's why I prefer the sea (of which I see loads), like this silly, for some quite dull) looking photo I see Beauty (capital - not to brag (because I'm having serious troubles making my camera do what I want) but it's the truth:

great pic chica! I can see the beauty also.

I will always continue to snap a variety of different things, its just water in various shapes of forms will always hold my interest the most.

I am a fisherman, so I think the interest in rivers extends from that! As soon a I get my filters im off to photograph some fast flowing rivers, and see what delights I can conjur up! {Nature-0002009D}

and show it here?

you are right. water is, I think, the most versatile 'element' nature offers and therefore I think it's very attractive photographing

Absolutely. Waterfalls aside, I think it would be nice just to get a good photo of a wild running river! I am sure with a long exposure it would look pretty ace.

yes, I think you're right. (I am starting to look forward to you shooting those photos now )

Well then I will have to make an extra special job

Luckily I have my brand new Hoya Polarizer and ND4

Hoya...I thought you were going with an off brand? You will like the Hoya, they have great quality filters, and represent about 98% of what I put in front of my lens. I own one Tiffen, and one Cokin (throw down spare polarizer), but other than that, everything is Hoya.

You should be pretty well set to get creative with water. I look forward to seeing your results.

Hi greg,
In the end I decided to just buy a hoya polarizer to match the Hoya ND4. I was'nt happy with the idea of putting a low quality filter over a good one

I still have the sakar one on its way as I bid on ebay for just that one. But I will probably just re-acution it of.
