Post no more than ONE picture a day. That keeps things clean, and it won’t turn into a spamfest.
Make the picture one you are proud of, not a generic picture. Post your best shots!
Keep it workplace friendly please. Pictures of pretty people are fine, but common sense prevails. If in doubt, don’t post it.
Tell us why you like it.
If you want a critique on an image you post, make sure you post that you want feedback, otherwise don’t expect to hear anything other than oooooo’s, and ahhhhhh’s.
ETA- Title change to make it more clear that only one pic a day is posted, or Stick will be a big fat meany and delete all pics after the first one. The reason is that I don’t want this to turn into a thread where someone shows up and dumps a million crappy pictures into the thread. By keeping it to one picture a day, people are forced to choose and post, which means we all end up seeing quality pictures. Hopefully the title change makes it a bit easier as the thread gets longer.
Picture I took on a hike the other day with my dog Dakota. Not the greatest picture (took it with my phone) but thought it was a good shot of her while we took a rest on some rocks.
Picture represents some of my favorite things in life. A good dog and the outdoors.
This is my aunt trying to take my photo in the the passenger mirror, but I snapped mine before she did. It was completely impromptu, and taken with a camera that has atrocious quality at even a moderately high ISO, but it’s a favorite because it’s kind of a snapshot, and kind of a story. This was on a day trip through the blue ridge mountains several summers ago, and the cooler, darker tone completely captured the entire vibe of the blue ridge mtns. That might not come through for anyone else, but just scanning through my files, this one gets my attention every single time, and I know exactly where it was taken. There was no processing done to this one.
This was my second attempt at capturing the night sky, because the previous night’s results were underexposed. This was the most vivid night sky I’d ever seen and attempted to capture it. I remember walking 1/8 mile through a trail in the woods (at night) to get to this location, which was a little unnerving due to the slight possibility of grizzly bears. No kidding, a man was killed 2 days before less than an hour away. I was traveling light, so had no tripod. I used a log and some rocks near the water’s edge to hold up the camera. What a fun trip and beautiful part of the country.
Taken off a private pier on Amelia island. It was the last time I went fishing with my father in law before he died. Looking back at it, the clouds were starting to block the sun before sunset, just like his mind went before dying.
I know nothing about photography and took it with a cell phone.
One of my favorite photos I’ve taken, in was a foggy day and it made for of of my favorite photos I’ve take, I believe I used a iPhone 4 for this picture years ago. I just wish that street sign couldn’t be seen. This was in my front yard in Oracle, AZ, this is the fence that fell apart that I hadn’t gotten the chance to repair at the time the photo was taken.
That’s a nice one. I can smell the desert in this photo. For those non AZ people, once in your life you need to smell the Sonoran or Chihuahan desert when it rains. I can’t describe it. Creosote bushes that on a dry day are completely odorless, but if you just breathe on them for an instant, the humidity in your breath makes them smell like a herb. So when it rains, the whole desert smells like this, combined with the rain smell. Plants and animals spring to life. Pretty neat.
Here’s one that I like - I’m in it, but I did take it. I did what I do quite a bit - composed the shot on a tripod; and had my wife as a stand-in to focus on. Set the timer, and ran out to where she was, while she came back
The setting was absolutely beautiful - a dry lake bed, and I could see for miles. The clouds cast shadows on the ground which made the landscape more interesting. I just enjoyed being out there under the open sky surrounded by incredible landscape, with my wife and son. Brings back good memories.
Inspired by some of the rifle crate coffee tables I saw around the interwebs, I decided to build my own. This was a quick shot taken with a Nikon D3000 inside of the crate I built last year. It now sits in my office as a convenient place to store my shooting gear. I often use this one as my wallpaper at work, since there aren’t any firearms/ammunition present in the photo to offend the soft-hearted.
I am by no means a photographer, and this was taken with my phone, but I like this picture because it was my good friend’s first truly wild caught trout. He’s been hooked ever since, and I’m glad to have a fishing buddy.
