Photos you have taken in the last month of which you are proud?

Not sure if i’m most proud but flickr magic donkey liked it

Well I like it also

stevextc – that is excellent.

I have to say that I look at it and have no idea what is going on there. ❓

No jokeI really don’t see what is there.

I like it too!

After Grum’s rather blunt comments, I told myself I wasn’t going to post any more pictures on this thread, but screw it. I love this one and the story is worth telling:

Every morning, with the tide, Rory hauls his little boat down the shingle of Brighton Beach, and then rows the length of the front, trawling his fishing net behind him. He’s done this for 25 years.

It reminds me of this:

Picks I’ve taken in the last two weeks around my new house in Geneva.
All unedited and taken with an iPhone 7.

stevextc – LOVE that photo mate, do you have a link through to your flickr page ?

Thanks to eddiebaby for the kind words last time.

Got out at the weekend. Points on offer if you can guess the location.

Lots and lots and lots of dogs…

After Grum’s rather blunt comments, I told myself I wasn’t going to post any more pictures on this thread, but screw it. I love this one and the story is worth telling:

I’ve no idea what the comments were, but I suppose you should be asking the question: “Who am I taking photos for?”. If the answer is “grum”, then you need to address the criticism. If the answer is “me”, then to hell with what other people think.

I rarely/ever have photos of mine commented on, in this thread or others. My photos obviously don’t resonate with the STW crowd, at least not the vocal minority. But I try not to care too much, I just keep taking photos to please myself*.

*Except for paid event gigs 😆

Grum wasn’t criticising my photographs, he was criticising me personally. I thought he might have had a point, which is why I thought about not bothering.

I agree with you about who are we taking pictures for. I primarily do it for myself but, like any ‘aspiring artist’ we all need external validation some time.

Personal criticism is a bit off, but again, no idea what was said so I’ll keep my neb out!

Coming from a slightly different position… I take pictures for the very few lucky clients who literally (and I do mean literally) put bread on the table. So I really don’t care at all about criticism and critique unless it’s genuinely increasing the amount of bread.

Anyway, Photobucket is still working and that’s the main thing.

Edit. As always, apologies to Mrs. Toast.

Ah that’s lovely Andy, there’s something just so right about how film records ‘white’ especially B&W film.

The film and me struggled a bit GT. It’s Ilford Delta 400, i used a yellow filter and took them hand held. It was really bright and -17ºC without the 30kph wind… I would like to go there again at either end of the day, with a bit more time a Hasselblad and some proper filters..and Delta100

FWIW I love your photos – maybe I should have said … 🙁

So where is this and what camera did you use? I’m guessing it was the Rolliflex.

Looks like the Midi station to me. Cosmiques Arete in the background.

Nice photo too.

Greg is spot on.
Midi station. Day off from skiing in Avoriaz.
Yes Rolleiflex, just has screw on 2cm colour filters but no graduated filters, ND’s or polariser.

Recognise this? A few people on here must have been here?

Aha, I should have recognised it Andy, I have been there and through that tunnel as well. My best friend lived in Chamonix, up the valley in Servoz, for eight years.

Always carry your camera 😉

Never stop taking photos, never stop publishing those you feel are worthy of sharing, ever.

Just because you don’t get comments or criticism certainly doesn’t mean that there are people like me who love seeing your images, I may not comment I may do, it’s Your view and insight to the image You captured that I certainly like, you lot have great visual perspective and wiling to share some of that with us mere iPhone snappers/filter obliterators.

This threads by far the best one in STW.

Agree with bikebouy totally.Take photos for yourself, if others like them, bonus. If not, not your problem.

I for one like to share what I like, which is different to what other Greg likes, or Andy/Kit/anyone likes. And that is fine, utterly fine.

Life is too short to care what others think about what you love.

Show off! 😀

YoKaiser – love that shot.

I have already photographed this chap before but as happy as I was with that original, I screwed up the framing and the critical focus. So I went back to catch him again (I took him and the other swimmers copies of the previous pictures as a thankyou).

The light was very different, clear and crisp. This is just around 6.30am so the sun is still very low in the sky hence the almost 3-D look.
