Anyone interested in photography?

I like to travel a lot and take my camera with me to take pictures.

Still very much an amateur photographer but I find it fun to take pictures of nature and landmarks and such.

Here are a few pictures I have taken on my travels.

The first and last ones are from my trip to Iceland and the middle one is the tower of london.

Anyone else here interested in photography? Feel free to share some of your pictures too :smiley:

Nice photos, Jessica. That said, Iceland is incredibly beautiful, so I’m pretty sure that’s cheating!

Here’s a few of my own from Japan that I don’t think I’ve shared:

Very cool! The clouded beach is rather dramatic.

Is that the Kamogawa in Kyoto?

These are really cool! What are we looking at here? A reflection of the eclipse in the lens where it appears more clearly?

Good eye! Yes, that’s the river in Kyoto. Have you been?

The honest answer is I’m not completely sure. I’m pretty confident that it’s lens flare, but I don’t know for sure why the flared image is reflected.

My best guess is that because the rays in the flare take a different path to the rest of the image, they must cross over one extra time (or one fewer) and so are inverted.

I lived in in Kyoto for a year in 2007 and visited the Kamogawa so many times. Here are a few photos from that time:

That was also my first digital camera and when I started to get more interested in photography generally. These seem to be mostly on one of the bridges across the river. I was very influenced by street photography.

Lovely photos! The first one with the three trees is particularly striking. It must have been an interesting place to live.

I’ve always enjoyed street photography, possibly because my dad’s influence. There’s not much of his stuff online, but here’s one of his:

I really like the atmosphere in this photo. The winter setting and the pier give it a timeless feel, and it’s interesting to see how street photography can capture so much character in an ordinary place. Your dad clearly had a great eye for finding memorable moments.

Thanks, myar, he really does.

Hopefully I can pressure him into putting more online and I can show them off!

That would be great! I’d definitely enjoy seeing more of his work, especially if he has more photos from that period. Older street photography has such a unique character to it, and it’s always interesting to see how people captured everyday life before everything became digital.

I will try. He has a lot of photos from back then and quite a few I absolutely love.

Neat photos everyone.

I’m into photography in that I like to take photos with my cell phone :man_shrugging:

I take a lot of scenic/nature photos - some are pretty cool. I’ll try and find a chance to gather a small collection and share them.

Until then, I did come across this one on my phone that I found kind of interesting…

Maybe “Observable Universe” ?

That’s very cool. Do you think the circle was traced out by the bit of grass? I’m struggling to see how that happens without the wind blowing it all away.
