This forum needed a thread and some posts, and since I haven't done any off-topic art lately, it's photography.
So, here's some recent photos.
-A grey teal, they're quite nice birds. Very attractive in their plain-ness.
-Nankeen kestrel.
-Western pygmy possum with her babies :D
Pictures of animals are always so cute ^^
Especially ones I've never really seen before, hehe.
I only have garden pictures.
And I still haven't got the hang of my new camera, only the manual functions I have just learned how to really work with those.
And sometimes, it's like, the object jumps out, lol.
Here are a few from the past month...
Oh, and some cute goats, look at them smile :D
The white flower will become a pear ^^
The pink/red "flowers" on the 2nd picture, came out of the thinggy on picture 1 o_O
(they are red berries)
I was literally about to start this thread myself (then got a bit sidetracked by something else), hehe :D
you're bird photos are really good, and that possum is terribly cute:)
Let me see if I can find a couple of my recent photographs (pictures are clickable, by the way, to see a bigger version ;)).
This one is if Tug, my favourite animal in the whole world, technically not the best photo ever (fraking fences) but this was too good a picture to pass up

Oh cool, I loved this thread ^^ All of your pictures are great. Nath, I really like how vibrant the flowers are in yours. =)
I just got a new camera (well, a hand-me-down from my aunt, but it's a lot better than my old one). I don't have the cable to hook it up to my laptop though, so nothing to share as of yet. =/
So these are all old, some of them by several years. xP

Nice photos everyone =) I actually have my own website for digital photography. If anyone would like to check it out it's www.photosbylevin.com
Tonnes of good photos from everyone, I always love looking through photos and it always inspires me to take more :D
One of the zoos near me is having a bit of a baby boom at the moment, I went round a few weeks back and there were baby animals all over the place :D I took a ton of photographs, but haven't had chance to go through them all yet, however here are a couple of the best ones. Click the pictures to see bigger pictures.
First up is a baby ring tailed lemur, I've taken quite a liking to lemurs recently. They're incredibly cute and really playful, great fun to watch. The babies are even cuter ;)

Next up is a pair of tiger cubs that came to the zoo after veing rejected by their mother and are now being hand reared. At the time this was taken they were only 10 weeks old.

Awwww babies! :D
I think I'll post a few photos for a change. I mostly take photos of animal at SeaWorld or the zoo. I like to do portraits of our animals too, especially my cat, Kit-Kat, who is a camera ho.
These are mostly from when I was just learning to use my new camera. I'm still learning, but I feel like I'm making progress.

Freshly Repainted Flamingos!
Love the yellow poison dart frog, Hasirakali! Did you have to take that through a glass boundary (ie, an aquarium wall)? If so, I'm really impressed, most look washed-out and dull after photographing through glass! The flamingos are so fun as well! ^^
I made bread! :D
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...SDIM1638_c.jpg
It's Asiago and Onion Soda Bread! I finally perfected the recipe too, I was quite pleased :P
:lol: I love the flamingos <3
ooo.. you should talk to Peco,that bread would go well with his olive oil :cheese:
I have a few pics. ^^

They're of our previous walk through Safari ^^
Sorry this is so late, Pnt. Yes, that was through two panes of glass actually. They have a plexi in front and then the actual aquarium behind that.Quote:

I have a ton more but I'm working on it still haha.
Sombolia! What process did you use for that first photo? I really dig the color scheme, the water looks straight off a slide of the discontinued kodachrome 64. And that makes me flail.
Cheetahstar, love the lions! Hope you didn't have to get too close, what with the whole getting-eaten-by-a-lion-can-really-ruin-your-day thing! :P
Sombi, those pics are cool, love the first one most.. and you're back or haven't you been yet ? :cheese:
Past two weeks:

I've piloted a small boat in storm force winds up without too much trouble, and this storm made me uneasy. The sky looked like it was boiling, low altitude clouds were moving around 90mph east to west and we had several tornadoes downwind. This is it just moving in from the northeast, too bad I shot it so tilted :(
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...DIM2149sat.jpg
It's a bit soft, but I handheld the camera at nearly 1 second exposure.

My pengiun, Mittens, on our cruise in December/January.
Found a frog in my garden today, so I just had to take a photo of it. This pic is taken with my phone's camera, but it came out surprisingly well, so I thought it was worthy of being shared here too:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v2...ps1937d413.jpg
Wow, the pic came out pretty well. Also, that's a cute frog ^^

does anyone know about this picture? a cameraman escaped moment of death after taking picture of a lion. He have some balls to do it, especially a daredevil tactic to take a professional picture of a lion chasing him to death.
Amazing amazing article :die:
This is the first time I've heard about this.
Here's some other information on the story:
http://petapixel.com/2015/04/09/this...re-it-charged/
If you asked me that was not a brave act, but a rather stupid one. The photographer was incredibly lucky though in every aspect.
after see what the result (of the picture) I really impressed and absolutely like it, I wouldn't call it stupid or dumb or even smart. But I'm glad that we have the result and with the guy survived. ;)
Yeah, he was lucky to survived and got the picture taken, Overall, like I said, The result is fantastic. :)
This reminds me of a lioness who took the camera of a photographer: http://www.nydailynews.com/news/worl...icle-1.1210873
She treated the camera very gently and once she was bored of it they took it back and was still working perfectly fine. ^^
Im not a pro photographer, all fotos i took is using my cell phone, but sometimes i manage to get some nice fotos even when not expecting.
This one is of a stray cat which was unofficially adopted by me and everyone else that lives in this building, she kept sniffing the câmera and i managed to get some cool shot of her.

Cute! I always love the coloring on kestrels and falcons.
Great Post...Its awesome photos looking Pretty....I like it Thanks For Sharing.
Some photos from a national park nearby. Autumn is truly a beautiful season.
Attachment 1038Attachment 1039Attachment 1040Attachment 1041Attachment 1042
Those are great photos! Autumn is lovely, it's just the months of cold that follow it that get tedious :p
Thanks CGW! And agreed. Snow and cold weather can be nice, but not for very long...same with any extreme temperatures, really.
The last days temperatures have been around 0 here and our house isolation is not very good so I can really feel it, especially in the evening. I end up walking around wrapped up in blankets wherever I go.:p
Btw, a few days ago I found this in the same woods: Attachment 1044Attachment 1045Attachment 1046Attachment 1047Attachment 1048Attachment 1049
...someone built a gnome house around the roots of a tree, it was a very surprising and entertaining find.:lol:
That's really cool Kossu! If I saw something like that randomly I'd think it was a Geocache or something :lol:
I know it's technically still November, and this usually goes against my rules of "no Christmas things before December" - but as 2020 has been such a terrible year I thought I'd put my tree up anyway! :cheese:
Attachment 1050
Eeeek, that didn't even cross my mind!8O You might be right, this could be a Geocache(or something relevant), I must find out the truth now.:lol:Quote:

Can't wait to decorate too honestly, it feels like Christmas stuff will help give a morale boost, with warm lights and cheerful colours and lots lots of sweets!:lol:
Oh man, I love things like that, Kossu :lol: It just adds a little bit of fun magic to the world, I think :D There's a Swedish artist/group of artists who does little "mouse houses" in Malmö city, and they are so lovely!

The makers are anonymous, so we don't know who makes them... It's all very mysterious :p
And love the colourful tree, Taneli :D Seeing the decorations pop up everywhere now always make me feel and warm and fuzzy inside xD
Wow, that looks so adorable and SO well done!=D
And agreed, such small things DO add magic to the world. That's what art is for!:lol:
