Your first Photograph

[acura nsx pilot]

Do you remember the first photograph you took that you or someone else cosidered was really good ?

[thomascanty]

My memory doesn't go that far back. :lol:

[PacAce]

Me? Not yet. I'm still waiting for that moment to arrive. :mrgreen:

[CyberPet]

Same here, I'm still waiting. :D

[Leorooster]

Well, I think I still have time. I figured that after spending 20 more years in hard core photography, I should have one or two:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[mgbeach]

I defnitely do. It was my 4th or 5th time out with the G3. What a high, knowing that I had done something right.http://gallery.photo.net/photo/1643927-lg.jpg

Umm, I can't remember that far back. 35 years of darkroom fumes have leached away all that memory.

I believe it was of a sunset on the fourth of july or a firework pic. Or maybe it was of a gun. I don't really remember.

I remember it. In fact I just gave a print of it to a friend. It was photo of a thoroughbred whose name was, I think, Red South Slew. He was a gelding decended from Seattle Slew (which I am sure I misspelled).

I remember it specifically because while I was chimping at the screen the horse was every bit as interested in the camera as I was.

When I was 14, I went on a 10-day backpacking trip at a Boy Scout ranch in Cimarron, NM. I had a little Kodak camera (one of those really skinny 110 jobs). I took a picture of a sunset that I was pretty happy with; mountians sillouetted against the sun.

It's laying around here somewhere. Had it blown up all the way to a 5"X7"!!

No, but I remember showing some of my travel shots to friends and their 'compliments' to the effect of "good pictures -- you must have a really good camera!". Keeps my head from swelling to much! ;)

"good pictures -- you must have a really good camera!" I got that from an Aunt last weekend, who should have known better by now. She couldn't figure out why I was laughing! :D:D:D

First pic: two friends from grade school, standing WAY off in the distance & facing the cam. About like this:

great shot, though i think it prolly needs a little darkening. Here is my attempt let me know what you think.

[mgbeach]

I have since adjusted it more thoroughly after gaining more experience and realizing that it lacked contrast. I just posted it because it was the version that people first saw and liked

[smittymike19]

yeah i agree its a nice shot.:)

[johnnybfan]

Are you kidding? My kids tell me that I'm older than dirt! (I'm only 54 :rolleyes::rolleyes::lol:)

[jopfin]

Probably be the 2 waterfall pics I had blown up and framed for my Mom for Christmas (2004), everyone in the room was like " wow where did you find those pics at, they are beautiful" i had to show them my contact sheets to prove they were mine, crazy relatives. ...............Joe

i get a few shots here and there, that every one likes, i guess some one told me one time to enter a picture into a photo contest, and i got second place, hell i dont even remember it, i guess it wasnt that big of a deal to me,

how many ok or not so good ones do you guys get for every good one, the other day i went out for a hike and i got maybe 10 out of 170 or so pictures that were really good, at least every one esle thought they were really good

Other people have considered some of my images really good but I'm still waiting for one that I think is really good...

[RichardtheSane]

Had to be 1993. I took a photograph of the frost covered woods near where I lived and people said I should put it in a local competition. To m that is a compliment.

[Rob612]

Still have it. 1982, one of a series of portraits I made to a friend. This is a a plain scan (no PP at all) of the only print I've left. I believe that the neg is still in my safe somewhere...

Edit to add... OMG, did I said 1982 ? 23 years ago ? Oh, God... can't believe it !
