: Some of my recent from different parts of the world
snowromance 10-27-2008, 01:23 PM Been putting my camera to very frequent use lately. Some of the pictures i've been able to take, especially some processed ones afterwards have been coming out really cool. They make awesome desktops so thought i'd share with the masses in case anyone else likes them. Let's start with Seattle.

now obviously some of these have been shot out the window of an aircraft and most windows have scratches and other inconsistencies which harm the photos. it's annoying, but what can ya do? anyhoo, enjoy the photos.
Lady_Ryder 10-27-2008, 01:35 PM i love how the colors are just so clear and "bright"....
capt211 10-27-2008, 01:43 PM cool picture.
what camera/lens do you have?
dDal2 10-27-2008, 02:48 PM Chagos Archipelago
where is that?
and beautiful pics by the way...what kind of camera did you use?
mungea 10-27-2008, 03:47 PM are these HDR at all?
nitrous36 10-27-2008, 04:17 PM Nice pics!
sdice19 10-27-2008, 04:38 PM wish i could travel as much as you do... but very nice pics
Swashbuckler 10-27-2008, 06:00 PM damn man. what do you do that allows you to travel so frequently and to so many places?
GriffinD 10-27-2008, 06:20 PM the last photo almost looks fake. amazing eye my man...beautiful pics!
snowromance 10-27-2008, 08:41 PM what camera/lens do you have?
these were taken with a nikon d40x using just the basic kit lenses they come with. 18-55mm and 55-200mm. i don't have a ton of space available for just camera equipment to bring. wish i did!
where is that?
It is in the middle of the indian ocean. about half way between africa and india.
are these HDR at all?
they have that affect. the only HDR is the one of the graffiti under the autobahn overpass. the rest are just tone mapped from a single jpeg photo.
damn man. what do you do that allows you to travel so frequently and to so many places?
im an aircraft mechanic and travel with the jet to make sure it stays safe for flight. lots of flying, but the time off work makes it worth it. especially when you have a passion for photography.
glad everyone like the pictures. i love the one of the beach too and use it as my desktop at the moment.
fun2fly 10-27-2008, 08:47 PM Some awesome pics for sure. I have the D40, so how do I get my pics to look like that:dunno:cheers . Thanks.
snowromance 10-27-2008, 09:39 PM lots of practice and good editing skills.

Kent Brockman 10-27-2008, 10:08 PM the pics are awesome!!! Thanks for sharing. I like the Germany photo the best!
Definitely envious of your travels.
Thanks for sharing the pics. :thumbup
optikal_fade 10-28-2008, 02:17 PM 1. Those are some bad ass pics.
2. Do you do your editing in Photoshop? or is there another program you use?
3. Do you get paid to travel with the plane?
4. Are you all hiring! LOL I wish i could work on planes and travel everywhere like you do.
Im definitely envious. The last pic reminds me of when i went to the Bahamas, and how clear and blue the ocean is there. But you have some really nice pics.:punk

iCapture 10-28-2008, 02:47 PM you should look into making panoramic shots. I got the program 'pfactory' and LOVE it. I just wish I would have taken more pan's when I was traveling. Awesome shots bro. Keep up the good work.
JunkieCosmonaut 10-28-2008, 04:57 PM that last pic is now my new background. awesome pics

i use a few things, either cs3 or lightroom, and a high dynamic range program. yes i am getting paid while working. if it involves traveling, even better :-)
nice editing. i don't mind.
glad you guys like the photos. this is what i enjoy doing in my off-time. taking and making photos like these. thanks for the all the positive feedback. ill keep at it in the future.
tarmacevo 10-29-2008, 09:12 AM amazing shots, thats all i can say... great eye
old school 600 10-29-2008, 09:44 AM Nice pics man, how much does a camra like that run for?
WJGSXR 10-29-2008, 10:12 AM Wow, those are some very nice recent you have there. :biggrin
snowromance 10-29-2008, 11:30 PM Nice pics man, how much does a camra like that run for?
the camera can be had for about $450 brand new. it's all up to you though how much you are willing to learn to be able to take good photographs. just purchasing an expensive camera doesn't mean the pictures just automatically turn out great. it really takes alot of practice. if it's something you're passionate about... do it. if not, i would stick with a good point & shoot camera that does all the work for you.
Boatski 10-29-2008, 11:58 PM amazing pics!
