Your favorite pic!...& Why?

[JMA]

I like the spooky feeling of this tree :lol:

[grgo09]

This is by far the best pic! i took it today, my first ever image with my cammera. Also that i have ever worked on. When my mom saw it she actually started crying becuse she was so proud of me. Because what I wan't to do when I grow up is to be a wildlife photographer and so now i am on my way, and it was my first ever picture! And i shot it with a Canon Powershot A550 F2.6

This is one of my old favorites (not best). In 2005 I had taken my two daughters and one friend to the local high school football stadium for pictures. They were arguing about where to stand. My smallest on the right was voting for the other end of the field. The “friend” in the middle wanted to be by the goal post “thingy” and my oldest on the left was sick of the other two. To know the girls as I do, is to know this is a picture of their personalities. I laugh every time I look at it. (In the end, I came home with some keepers) - DanielD

Just a great portrait...

Stieglitz
http://www.masters-of-photography.com/images/full/stieglitz/stieglitz_steerage.jpg
One of the greatest photographs ever made.

Adams
http://www.andrewsmithgallery.com/images/misc/ansel_adams.jpg
Moonrise over Hernandez another one of the great photographs plus the story of how the image was made. Adams remembering the ft candles the moon at 3/4s and based his development time of the neg on that info and exposing by experience because he didn't have time to get his meter and was only able to make one exposure before the light that was lighting up the crosses slipped behind the mountains behind him.

Cartier-Bresson

A portrait full of expression and experience of what it was like to be displaced by the dust bowl and the great depression. Just an outstanding photograph.

Sorry but I could just keep on going.

This is my favorite picture because I still sit here with the feeling of I can't believe I took that. I shot fireworks and thought that they were OK and then thought they were horrible when I looked in the magzines. I studied for 2.5 months and how to do it.

Just got my camera in May and I am surpirsed by home much a little studying can allow you to take amazing pictures. To tell you the truth I too a lot but I really got lucky with this one.

The full size is amazing in my opinion. BTW no PP was done.

I live in Philly, which can be a dirty and sometimes scary place. For the same reasons, it can be magical. It's not the sharpest or prettiest photo, but I love this shot of a carnival next to the Berks street el station.

My fav sunrise. It was very early and I was on my way to step in to my new house for the first time. I had my camera with and had to stop to take this.

I rather like this one - 10D, 70-200 f/4L

For me, it's this one.

This is a good example of being in the right place, at the right time ....

Now, for 10 points, does anybody fancy saying where it is ? and for an extra bonus 5 points, from what carpark it's taken from ??

Easy. It's Bridalveil Fall in Yosemite, as seen from Tunnel View (by the Wawona Tunnel). What can I spend my 15 points on?

[jackdaw]

Took this one a short while ago in a disused factory.

The light through the skylight on the upright basin and the basin against the wall really appealed to me.

Reminds me of some of Rene Magritte the surrealist artists work.

Definitely my favourite this year.

Damn Thomas, I knew that somebody would get it, but that quick ?, well done you !!!

Okay well for the 15 points that you now have, keep a hold of them. The chapest item in "the store" starts at 890 points, so once you have reached that tally, get back to me, and I'll send you a "catalogue" showing what you can get.

LOL

Wonderful pics by everyone. Here's mine called 'Serenity'. It is actually in a coffee place, taken at night with 50mm 1.8 handheld.I love the saturated colors and the shadows cast by the spiral incense.It gives me a calming effect.

Parking lot? Yikes no idea...that was 3-4 years ago! Nice shot

Sitting inside the house, I look out and catch this little pup taking a nap. It's through the glass of a window, handheld and with a 300mm zoom so it's not in great focus. Technically it's not the best, but EVERY time I see it I have to smile ...

This picture was taken back in 2004 and is one of my absolute favorite pictures I've ever taken. I love tigers and the rest is pretty much self explanatory :-)

This was taken with an original Canon Digital Rebel ISO 400, f/5/6 @ 1/400th with a very cheap 70-300mm zoom lens. This was my first digital SLR and honestly I didn't know a whole lot about anything.
http://funhouse69.smugmug.com/photos/100394217_wCScd-L.jpg

This was one of my first ever long exposures with a ND filter. I was just amazed about the clarity and sharpness of the pictures you can produce with such a filter. It really opened some new doors for me. Ever since I took this picture, I fell in love with long exposures.

My favourite because of its simpicity and moodyness, shot using canon 18-55mm

[masterwillems]

I think mine is still this one:

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3361/3225251762_7bff990175_o.jpg

It was one of my first pictures taken with my Canon and it was more a lucky shot i guess :p.
Made a shot before this one and everything was blown out, so i put my POL filter on it an shot the photo:cool:.

I also like it overall colour and that you have sand (dunes) and ice.

Looking at old photos on Mothers Day today :) this one really made me smile and is one of my favorites, I took in December of 2004 of my kids for our Christmas Cards for the year with the Fuji Finepix P&S that I had at the time...

This is a picture of my neice at my sister and brother in law's anniversary dinner. She has such a great face and all I had to do was make her laugh.

[ShadowGLI]

This was just a random one I put together one night on my living room table cleaning up after a game of Mexican Train Dominoes. used a TV tray as a back stop and placed my lens on the table itself and fired away.. I don't know what it is but I love it, I think just the colors and such..

I have never seen a cave like this in real life. Used a canon xti with a tamron 17-50 f2.8 lens.

[CarDogg13]

This is one of my favorite pictures because it is peaceful to me. Like flowing rocks or something... :)

http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3028/2752646744_d780989aa1_b.jpg

[ShadowGLI]

Love that rock shot.. just to ask, do the rocks naturally have a bright red tinge or is that PP?

[Flo]

Those last two photos are beautiful!

[jessicamedwards]

I love the red rocks...Gorgeous pic and so peaceful.

[CarDogg13]

Yes, the rocks are red in real life, however the reds in that picture are oversaturated. The long exposure time it took me to take that picture kind of stole some of the color, so I added some back in pp. This one is too oversaturated, however I still like it because it reminds me of what I felt like I was seeing while I was actually there.

[sheba021]

My favorite pic was taken by my girlfriend and it's a pic of my close encounter with a seagull, taken 2 years ago when we were visiting the island of Thassos.

http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a297/sheba021/Photos/thassos029.jpg

When your holliday starts off like that it's an indication of how great it's gonna be, and it was indeed the best holliday i ever had. :D

Pic taken with my IXY 70.

[alihay]

Well, this is my fav......but not the best that I've done (considering it's blurred w/ bad lighting).

My son has Autism and he has a hard time "going with the flow" of things. But this day, I was choreographing a dance and he decided to join me. I just love how happy and innocent he looks dancing in this pic. :)

Brillian shot I have a friend who has a girl with Autism and it`s not easy.

1. This is because I absolutely adore the look in her eyes...

[supermom30]

This is by far not my best shot but it is still my fav! Me and my little niece have a bond like no other, she has spent a good part of her life with me and we have become so close that when we are apart it hurts...I was just going to check the mail and she thought I was leaveing ( I still had my camera around my neck from taking photos of her)...this photo will forever touch my heart.

I'm still very new to photography (just about 6months in). Don't have a lot of great shots but these 2 are prob among my better ones:

I like to stay politically neutral, but this caught my attention and I had to shoot it. Someone was obviously making a statement by leaving just this half up.

The work here is beautiful. This is my first post so it is kind of a test. The shot is one of my favorites.

[Anishkumar]

nice scene, in the first pic!!
This picture was taken back in 2004 and is one of my absolute favorite pictures I've ever taken. I love tigers and the rest is pretty much self explanatory :-)

This was taken with an original Canon Digital Rebel ISO 400, f/5/6 @ 1/400th with a very cheap 70-300mm zoom lens. This was my first digital SLR and honestly I didn't know a whole lot about anything.
http://funhouse69.smugmug.com/photos/100394217_wCScd-L.jpg

Since then I have believe I have learned a lot, invested some money in better equipment and just this year alone I have taken numerous pictures that I love. Here are a couple of them in no particular order.
Canon 30d with 24-105 f/4L

My most FAVORITE picture EVER... is my absolute FIRST picture with a dslr. I had just gotten my 20D that came with a sigma 18-125 non os version. I was looking through the manual, my cat was sleeping on a chair in the corner & I snapped a picture of him

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b178/silentlore/IMG_6877.jpg

at which point I kept testing out the camera

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b178/silentlore/IMG_6894.jpg

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b178/silentlore/IMG_6899.jpg

to date these are my favorite because they were my 1st pictures & they were not that bad ;), Horatio was pretty accommodating & my favorite pictures of him to date, & not knowing anything about cameras or lenses my first pictures were not of batteries or text or rulers to look at 100% :lol:

edit: scratch that, I KNEW about cameras... I used to shoot film, did darkroom & film developing in school & P&S... but before being on here, never had I heard of pixel peeping.

I took this one very recently.
I love the colours

Ok, that is hilarious and awesome and scary all at the same time..wasn't she afraid of her dress getting caught????

[DigitalMonkey]

Well, I'm quite certain this will be just like my favourite Beatles' song in that it will change from time to time, but here you go...

This was captured at Cape Spear, Newfoundland, the most easterly point in North America. Just on the other side of this fence is at least a 100 foot drop to the Atlantic Ocean below. Ireland is approximately 3,000 kms straight ahead.

It's my favorite because my dad was taking pictures of him, and me being a smart ### grabbed the camera off turned the on camera flash off, steadied myself and took a picture at 1/5 shutter in a non IS lens. Everything aligned and I had a great shot...at ISO 100 lol

[Evil Hard]

it has a rich color of green and white, I think this is the best picture that I have taken because I took while it was noon and the sun was straight above my head !!

My favorite photo is of my daughter at age 18 months or so. Taken in 1990 on a Canon A-1 with a Canon 50mm f/1.8 lens. I'm not sure why, but I keep coming back to this picture as a favorite of mine.

This capture is one of my favorites because it's among the first that I planned and then executed. Also used a different set of skills to get this shot, as opposed to taking a static or posed shot. Hope y'all like it.
