All of these sunset, nature, etc. photos, can be downloaded as stock photos. What is the benefit of taking them yourself?
Helpful- oh come on…it’s a beautiful thing to take nice photos!
whatrutalkingabt- thanx a lot one above clouds I took from a plane- lucky shot!!! The rainbow one was at an airshow it was a beautiful sight!!!
Helpful-
The benefit of taking them yourself is that you can sell them as stock photos.
Wolf, I agree except for the child at play. The world NEEDS 15,000,213 pictures of my children smiling.
WolfishMusings- please check out my photos on the page before and give me your valuable comments…thanx!
WolfishMusings- which meeting could possibly be more important than my pix????

Wolf, I agree except for the child at play. The world NEEDS 15,000,213 pictures of my children smiling.
So that’s 7,500,106 of one child, and 7,500,107 of the other. No favorites, of course? 🙂
Squeak, the extra picture is of the two of them.
Wolf- thanks a lot for your valuable comments- knew you wouldn’t let me down! The reason I included that lion shot is not because I thought it was a professional shot in the slightest quite the contrary its one of the worst shots I’ve done, wire fencing and all- I just thought that I was very lucky to see this magnificent creation of Hashem yawning which takes a couple of seconds and just about managed to capture it forever! my personal thought!
Interestingly enough the photo of the rainbow with the jets is my favorite shot too- I stood there with my camera poised until it was in perfect formation!!! But 100% worth it!
The cloud picture- I made the contrast a bit stronger on that photo to give it that beautiful “surreal” look. Glad you liked it!
1st shot – Perhaps as a side-view silhouette?
Second shot… at a girl’s camp in upstate NY?
The 1st shot was taken after about 90 minutes of walking, so my son’s “self portrait” was just that; sitting down, staring at the ground, but you gave me a great idea for the next family picture
The 2nd shot was taken in Harriman State Park (about 20 minutes from Monsey) at the intersection of several popular trails (hence the term “Times Square”)
farfrumt,
Nice shots. I guess the obvious answer to “which one is photoshoped?” would be the subway picture – but assuming this is a trick question, I would guess the sofer one – why? simply b/c I’ve never seen a left-handed sofer! Of course, this could have just been a left-handed sofer. But either way, it definitely makes the picture nicer when he’s left-handed b/c this way you can also see the letters on the right!
Keep up the great work,
Blintz
Blintzes –
Are those chairlift shots from Whistler, BC?
Bp totty,
Indeed! (the map on the side displays all the correct locations of my pics).
Whoa, Blintz.. nisht poshut!
When I’m ready to cut some fresh powder in the Idaho backcountry (read: never!) I’ll call you for some pointers.
Florida, on the other hand sounds real temtping..
Awesome shots, though. I’ve tried the bunny slopes, and can only imagine what you faced. And with all that, you have the presence of mind to take pictures! Whew!
Wolf, Your photo truly IS amazing. Did you realize that the focus is on the flower and not on the bee? You said you were photographing bees when the focus is actually on the flower.
If you were to enlarge the photo you will see more clearly what I mean. The flower is sharply in focus while the bee is slightly out of focus. If your objective was the bee it should have been the other way around.
Once again I stress – the photo is an amazing one! You can market it for lotsa $.
hey so i thought i’d join in on this photo sharing. i’ve been into photography for a few years now, but its all just a hobby, i’d really appreciate to get critiqued!
btw i have to say SJS i LOVE your pictures. especially the first one is gorgeous, and i also absolutely love the one on the ski lift with all the fog. so beautiful.
and wolf i love your macro flower pics and the flame picture is so cool. and the last pic is also awesome. so national geographic =)

Wow smile66 incredible shots- seriously you got major talent. My favorites are 1, 25, 52. Real quality!!!
Please check out my photo link on page 1 and let me know what you think.
Wolf- Picture no. 47 is really beautiful the way you got the flower in the raindrop- i love it!!!
noitallmr – first of all, thanks!
my favorite of your pics is definitely 11, and i really like 18 & 19 too. but 11 – whoa seriously i love it it’s gorgeous. the colors are awesome, plus the place is just gorgeous. i’d love to see your other pics of that lake.
Seems like a shame to see this cool thread go underground.
Please check out my pix- would love your comments!
I just want to say thanks again Wolf for starting this thread (and everyone else for their pictures, which are ALL breathtaking!!!!) because I’m now looking at the world around me very differently, and I’m noticing things I don’t think I would’ve seen before.
Also, Helpful, you wrote All of these sunset, nature, etc. photos, can be downloaded as stock photos. What is the benefit of taking them yourself?
I was thinking about it and it’s the natural tendency of people that when they see something gorgeous (or hear something good) to want to share it with others. So when you see a stunning sunset, you automatically want to capture it and show it to others, or even to just look at later.
noitall- Im not into photography but i do appreciate nice photos- Where was #8 taken?
Very lucky shot. I took it in an airshow in England a few years ago. The rainbow suddenly came by and the commentator said that the planes will specially fly over it for all the photographers out there.
SO i snapped it!!!
Thanx for the appreciation!!!
Your welcome- its beautiful and unique.
wolfish, ur pics are stunning!!! keep ’em coming!!!
if ur not a prof. photographer, you should totally become one- you have such potential!
i wish i had a digital camera!! as it is, all my goood pictures are with my friend in her digital camera so i’ll have to check if she still has them (haven’t taken a decent one with a decent camera in about 3 years), but if she does, up goes a picassa account!
i LOVE photography as a hobby, but never learned.
HashemLovesMe, i also like his pics. But where is Wolf- i haven’t seen him in awhile….?
smile, ur pics are stunning! q for u: it looks like you were in israel when u took these pix. were you? (i’m assuming u are a girl-hope i’m right:) were they taken in sem?
if i’m wrong-sorry, hope ur mochel me!
emoticon613- no need to learn! Photography is something that comes naturally you either have it or you dont- you cant really teach someone!!! Come on- get your account going and lets see what you got!
to really be the best you need an eye and an intuitive sense for composition, lighting, and emotional impact
but one can improve dramatically and continually with education and experience
I agree with Mod 80- you definitely need a photographers eye and be creative enough to get stunning shots. But untill you learn the basics of aperture, shutter speeds, focal length, depth of field etc… you’re no different than the next guy
Moderator-80- agreed. Btw seen my pictures?
not yet
ill try and take a look tonight bli neder
Moderator-80- no pressure- you just sounded that you know what ur talking about so wud appreciate your comments!
hey if ur at it anyway mod80 u think u cud check mine out too?
hashemlovesme – yup i think just about half of them were taken in sem 🙂
I didnt read through all the posts, so dunno if anyone mentioned this yet…some of the pics ive seen so far are great but one should have in mind the rule of thirds: the subject of the shot shouldnt be in the center–rather, towards either edge of the lens….gives it a more real and imperfect look
Wolf –any way I can access your pics any other way the jnet does not allow picassa
i wonder if anybody could give some feedback on these pictures i think the vertical is much better – but i wonder what you think – Thank you for your Comments or criticism http://picasaweb.google.com/109601087746802031145/Favorites#
the vertical is better, you’re right:
1. since it’s taken from farther away, the man on the bike and other similar distractions aren’t visible, they just become part of the shadowing.
2. it’s more centered. usually, the subject shouldn’t be centered, but when the subject itself is symmetrical, it should be centered because if not, it lends an oddly lopsided look to the picture.
3. the horizon on the vertical one is about two thirds from the top, while on the horizontal version, it’s closer to the middle, a cardinal sin in the world of landscape photography.
that’s my (unprofessional) opinion.
they’re both really really good though. where in the world is that?
I like the landscape shot better, as it gives me a sense of the expansivness of the overpass. Is this somewhere in Austria?
thank you for your comments.
they were taken in Ottawa standing on one of the locks of the Rideau Canal – The building on the left is a fairmont hotel
smile, i also have millions of gorgeous pics from sem. i just don’t have the patience to download all of them. know of a really quick and easy way?
http://picasaweb.google.com/105854951055883608232/SemPictures?authkey=Gv1sRgCJCG6bfEqLzPaA#
just some of my pics from sem
jewishgirl,
the first pic is cool
hashemlovesme,
it’s not too hard or laborous to upload onto picassa. if you already have a google account especially. (if u don’t it’s not hard to do that either…) all you have to do is go to picasa.google.com and download picasa, and then all the pictures from your comp automatically go onto it. you don’t have to monitor it or anything, you can just go off and do whatever, and then when it finishes you just choose the pictures you want to go into your album. and then you post the link here!
hope that answered ur question?
If you have a chance, could you check these out and let me know what you think of them.
Thanks.
