The *Official Photography Thread*

I love that kind of photography. That and nature. My favorite. I wish I could make a living at it...

 

Me too sometimes but then I think I wouldnt enjoy it as much!

 

It is my dream job to just travel everywhere and take pictures and somehow make money at it.

 

Get after it!

 

I would if I knew how. How could I go out and take pictures of landscapes and make a living with it? Like I honestly don't know how to sell a picture and what to sell it as. (like framed or a digital copy) Only thing I really see making money is weddings and senior pictures. I know that's easy, but landscape is more adventurous.

EDIT: Plus I wouldn't even know what price to ask for prints and what not.

 

Couple more.

 

Have you done any B&W edits with these photos?

I think they would look good with a high contrast B&W edit.

Other than that I love the images

 

Thanks Tony! Yeah I did. Just didn't do it for me like I saw it. It was cold, blue and crisp.

I'm about to move my stuff to Flicker in a few min. TW just isn't doing these justice.

Here they are in B&W HDR high contrast. It just doesn't have the same feeling to me. What do you think?

 

Love both. I really dig b&w though.

 

Last one tonight. This is the West Prong Little Pigeon River. This was at just a little lower elevation than the other pics where the river was in the fog/clouds. This is around 5046 ft.



Edit: Now you two have me questioning myself. lol In B&W. I think I may like this one better.

 

I like the B&W versions personally

Side note, I just checked the stats on my website and my gallery from this weekend's wheeling trip is nearing 10,500 views

 

Well they are some pretty outstanding pics. Props to the photographer.

 

Thank you

 

Thanks Chaz! Yeah I do too. I'm trying to do a little more color stuff since I've done B&W for so long.

 

I liked the others in B&W. I much prefer this one in color though.

 

I would have liked it better if I had gotten the tripod out and sat there for an hour getting the pic I really wanted on it.

BTW my new tripod and head should be here tomorrow.

 

dang! why am i leaving Wyoming this weekend..maybe ill try and throw something in there. Can't hurt. Id rather be a runner up for 500 bucks haha

not surprised. Sweet shots!

 

i doubt as a profession..as a hobby when your retired or a second "career". Possibly.

i mean..think about it. Consumer level gear is getting VERY good. Everyone is publishing great stuff all the time for free. Same goes for audio for that matter. Its kinda depressing cause yes, it is NOT the same as a true professional doing it. But, we as a society like free stuff and "good enough" stuff..so..yea..the liberal arts is a HARD life.

But, if you love it enough, you don't care cause you usually have a blast while doing it.

 

Well people charge way too much for photos I mean I saw one guys photo and he wanted 500 for it. it was a good photo but for that price I could go take one myself for cheaper. It really is just nobody has money to spend on art right now so it really makes it hard to sell photos.

 

exactly..i mean..look at us. We all shoot stuff a lot. Why pay for it?

Proves my point that the line between professionals and consumer hobbyist's is getting smaller and smaller with advances in technology.

But, nothing will replace a good professional with their experience and all. Just hard to get what your experience is worth..
