Sweety: Looks nice

Blitz: Very thoughtful image

No Regrets
Reflections
Unzipped

Some spring-y photos~

Flowers
Symmetry~

So it is spring now at West... ^.^
Gone are the days your cars covered in 5m thick snows..

First bloom of flowers are the prettiest...Too bad I can't experience... T.T
Nice angle Blitz.. The cloud blends well with both the trees!!

^ The thing about spring here is that my state tends to have a lot of false ones. Today was quite cold, as a matter of fact. XD

Yeah we go camping often, when it is warm enough.. of course we do not have to walk far.. the camp is literally in my back yard. (How Redneck is that? )

Not sure what nostalgia means, but it sounds like a nice word.



Thanks aww..

@Blitz - Pretty. You are good photographer. The flowers are beautiful. I can not see the last one in your last post.

@Chiyo - I really like the second one, you remind me of someone.

@Abtruse - I love your dog. She is so adorable.

Sweety-Looks like fun!

Blitz-I love everything, you have such great angles and filters.

Chiyo-Once again, great job! You think of such creative shots. How'd you pull off the mirror one? I tried taking a photo similar to that, but I kept getting teh camera in the shot.

Kenji-Wow! That was BIG puzzle.

Void- If only you had a real helmet like that for Miyuki to wear!

Blitz I just love the first one^^

@sweety_pie - Nice pics of trees and the lake!!

@Blitz - Nice collection of pics!! Each one very different from others!!
(-.-) is .. well... as you said, very conceptual, and Flowers is pretty and shows the hint of Spring, and Symmetry~ is beautiful!! Very nice!!

@Chiyo - Unzipped is very seductive, Reflections is almost like a trick/magic photo, and No Regrets is beautiful!!Nice works!!

Thanks all, it took a while to get reflections just right.

The Many Colours

Is that haloween or something?
The four aqua spots are rather haunting... creepy
Oops...sorry

It is the city of London at night time!! Aww...thats nice..especially the Parliament building ^.^

Now that was something different !!!

@Chiyo - That's very magical and mysteriously beautiful!! Sort of like outdoor Christmas decoration gone magical!! Nice!!

Chiyo: Your portraits never cease to amaze me. "No Regrets" is simply beautiful with the almost heavenly looking aura that frames her head. "Reflections" is such an intersting shot, and I like the overall distressed look. "Unzipped" has a wonderful compisition and I really like the warm tones and texture on your jeans. "Many Colours" is a rather intriguing photograph and has a rather magical feeling to it.


Blitz: Your photographs of flowering trees are gorgeous. I love the strong contrast between the crimson red of the flowering buds and subdued green hues of the trees in "Spring has Come". I love the vibrant blues in "Symmetry"; it truly is a creative photograph. Thank you for bringing the beauty of spring to a place that is still covered with snow.

Ephemera
Santa Maria

First attempt at "proper" photography on my mobile's camera I guess that's why the colours didn't turn out properly

It looks a bit dodgy compared to everyone else's photos xD
I should Photoshop it a bit later on..

another nature photo...love those pebbles...

A photo without Photoshop is the most magnificent...IMO

@ Eda - I love the "Santa Maria" one. Very colorful and commanding.

Random polaroid simulation

@Blitz: Pretty! I always come here to see your photographs

Baka-Nekoh: For a mobile phone photograph, the pebbles came out quit nicely. You can always adjust the hue and the exposure time with a digital photo editing program or Photoshop/Open Canvas. Open Canvas has a great dodge and burn tool that can lighten and darken your photographs.

Blitz: Lovely photograph Blitz! Your ideas are so creative. (I should really learn photo manipulation one of these days.)

@Blitz Beautiful sky and goes nicely with the power lines! Nice angle there!!...and once again...too bad it is not in landscape...if not...this will be my wallpaper...

Thanks.

@Chiyo - Woh pretty colors.

@Edamame - Ephemera is really beautiful. I really like Santa Maria. It is gorgeous.

@baKa-neKoh - Pretty pebbles. I thought they were bird eggs at first.

@Blitz - Pretty sky.

I took a lot of pics at Chuck E Cheese yesterday. I will upload them from my camera, and scan the Polaroid ones later.

Thanks everyone~ ^^

New one!

Portrait-y

Blitz: Beautiful symmetry in your latest photographs. I enjoy looking at all of your photographs because you have the most creative ideas. What digital photo editing programs do you use?

^ I use Photoshop CS. ^^

Reparing old and torn photographs in a royal pain in the butt. I really wish that I owned Photoshop CS2. (My meager University budget will never let that happen though.)

Muscian
Bailamos

^Those are really great looking pictures Edamame. Where were they taken?

---

Some pretty cool looking rocks.

The road side.

Thank you Sweety! The tango photograph was taken in La Boca, Argentina. I took it with a manual camera, so it lost a lot of its original colour in my scanner. The second was taken in Barcelona, Spain. I really like the photograph of the rocks; it reminds me of the Grand Canyon in Arizona. The second photograph has a very somber and subdued feel to it, and reminds me of the early morning. Nice work!

You get to take pics at such interesting places Eda, they always look like the pictures you get in tourist books as they always capture the scene so well.

Some action shots of Miyuki playing with her tuggie

Love the angle of that last one, I may have to steal your dog someday.

So cute!!!

It's weird how much better Miyuki looks under natural light. If I take a pic of her with a flash, indoors, she looks downright fugly at times.

@Edamame - Those are beautiful!! Ephemera is like in a fantacy/dream world, and it's sooobeautiful!!
Santa Maria is very beautiful, too.
Muscian and Bailamos have nice human touch. I love their faces!! Feel very real, and beautiful!! ^^

@baKa-neKoh - Is that a Jade plant?? I love the close up!!
The picture has strangely soothing quality to it. Nice!!

@Blitz - You have such a wonderful "artistic" eyes and mind to create those pics!!
Enjoyed those two pics!! They are fun!!

@sweety_pie - You are good with nature scenes!!
The rock is nice!! How large was that rock formation?

@Abstruse Eulogy - Aww... nice pics of Miyuki playing!! ^^

Fullmetal Wrist
Pony Chums

and to those who asked, that 'Many Colours' pic was taken at the Lincoln Christmas Market

Thank you for the comments everyone.

Abstruse: Miyuki is such a handsome dog. I love the action shots of Miyuki and her tuggie. Miyuki's eyes are incredibly striking in the last photograph. Lovely job!

Chiyo: That is a seriously cool bracelet. I love the natural light reflecting off the metal. (It makes me want to make chain-mail jewerly now. Too bad I don't have any jump rings.) "Pony Chums" is both sweet and nostalgic. I can't remember for the life of me where I put my child-hood collection of little ponies. I never see kids play with them anymore.
PS- I love your icon.

Wow. I really love your photography, you take the best.
And thanks for the compliment.


Thanks. It was not too big, only about 12 yards high.


@Void - I love your doggie. She is adorble. (lab mixes always are)
If she ever has puppies I want one.

@Chiyo - Nice pictures. I really like the first one. And the pony one is sweet. They are adorable.

Feeling rather springy today:
Floral Scene

Ikebana (I love this ikebana hanging sculpture. I wa glad that the designer let me take a picture of it.)

@Chiyo - That FMA automail bracelet is awesome!!
And, the Pones are so cute!! Love it!! ^^

@Edamame - Nice picture of flower to bring the fresh Spring air!! Pretty!!
And, that flower arrangement is very dynamic and artistic!! Beautiful!! ^^

This one's a bit humorous. XD

Cow plushie

@Blitz - Aww.. Cow plushies dreaming of green pasture... Cute!!

Eda: very pretty
Blitz: such a cute idea for an image

Yummeh - though very few of you will know what marmite is
Faith and Begorrah
Over the Bar - Happy St Paddys

Blitz: The cow plushie photograph is so cute and creative!

Chiyo: Ughhhh Marmite. I feel like a bad European for despising the substance. I really love all of the St.Paddy's themed photographs especially "Faith and Begorrah." I hope you have a wonderful St.Paddy's Day! (I really wish that I was back U.K. right now. )

You either love it or hate it Eda, so you're one of the few at least who knows it^^. Shame you won't be here in the UK tomorrow, I'll have a drink on your behalf

Cow plushie = <3~

Okay, so I don't know if my next photo can go into this thread since it's technically a photo manip but I'll post anyway....

Hearts and a balloon

@Chiyo - Wonderful St' Paddy's Day themed pics!!
I have some vegetarian friends who keeps a jar of Mermite, so yeah I know the stuff also!! (Although, I think I can live without it.. )
Faith and Begorrah pic is very nice, too!! Lovely figurines!!
And, Happy St. Patric'sDay!! Hope you'll have a great time!! ^^

@Blitz - I love that one!! Very sharp and beautiful combination of lovely blue sky, red balloon, and hands in black shadow making hearts!! Nicely done

Blitz: That is such a beautiful photograph. The colour contrast is striking, and makes the hands and the balloon appear to jump right off the page. I still consider photograph manipulation to be an art form all in itself. Great job! You always have these incredibly creative ideas.

Chiyo: I love the new icon!

Thank you Tombow and Eda!

Part two of the balloon series! Here

My Cat

Dahlia

Pink Flowers

My dog

I really like that flowers. It is beautiful. What kind is it?
What does Ikebana mean? (If you do not mind me asking)

@Blitz - Your pictures are really great always. I really like the last heart from the first pic. And the cow plushie is just so adorable.

@Chiyo - I really like the quote
'Some Call it Madness, Others Say it's Genius'

@ScatMySoul - I love your cat. She is so cute. She looks like she is about to pounce or something.
What breed is your dog? And what kind of flowers are in the second pic? I think I have seen some like that before.

(BTW that was not a typo. I am gonna call you Scat from now on. )

@Blitz - Oh, that one evokes quite emotions!! Simple, yet powerful and beautiful pic!! ^^

@ScarMySoul - Those are beautiful close up shots!!
The flowers pics are beautiful!! And your cat and dog pics bring smiles to my face!!
Very nice!!

2 energetic dogs + snow = major roffles
