reply to post by TheCommentator


Thank you so much for your pic posts!!!! What gorgeous examples of the beauty of fractals and the golden ratio!!!!

Upon the invitation of the OP here, my friend Open2Truth, I am sharing a photo that I shared with the rest of ATS back in my thread ATS thread

It was originally from NatGeo:



Hope you all enjoy.

I'd like to thank each and everyone who has shared with us so far. These are just stunning and inspiring photos! Keep up the good work people!!!!

I'm no photographer, but I love these two pictures I took whilst in New Zealand. It's such a pretty place to visit

The first is one I took at Franz Josef Glacier. The second is at Reflection Lake.

Having travelled extensively around both islands, I can honestly say that I've never seen so many "postcard moments" in one country as we did whilst in NZ. It is truly an amazingly beautiful place.

Someone posted these on ats recently but in case you missed it....

Thank you so much for the beautiful pictures. Those macro shots in particular are amazing! Back in the day when I played around with a camera more, I really was drawn to macro work and you have reminded me why.

Thanks again.

Here are some pictures I took for a photography class.

"For in the time of trouble He shall hide me in His pavilion; In the secret place of His tabernacle He shall hide me; He shall set me high upon a rock" Psalm 27:5

I'm not sure this is up to the standard here, but this is one I like and use for a background. I've never uploaded photo at ATS before (I'm a long time lurker and new member) and have rarely uploaded anything. So, I'm not quite sure what dimensions work best for nature photos. This still seems large for this forum.... If anyone cares to provide hints on sizing, I'd appreciate advice.

A poster sized print of the full 20Mb TIFF version is a lot nicer IMO. I took this and several hundred more on my first winter trip to Yosemite. I'm going to have to get a desktop PC to do any serious "developing."

I'm more of a fan of space pictures, so I thought I'd share one.

To prove Predator is right and Lake Moraine really is that color, here's a picture I took back in 2008

Wow, amazing.

This thread is quickly becoming one of my favourites on ATS. Thanks to all of those who've taken the time to post so far, they're all really fantastic!

Edit: I got my new desktop image from this thread too.

Hey dear friend. Beautiful thread you got going and it’s a definite S&F from me.

Here are a few of my pics. As you probably know I love nature and when I had a little more spare time I often used to wander around the forest where I live and happily snap away.

I also work in the Pilbara region of Western Australia and managed to get quite a few nice pics up there as well. All of these are just taken on my handheld Pentax Optio that I got as a graduation present in ’05. One day I’d love to get a something flashy and maybe even teach photoshop.



























I've posted many others on this thread in the Member Art Forum here:

Good thread

My interests have been for using photoshop to stitch together big panoramas of trees, mountains, formations and amazing sunsets anywhere I can, yes I tweek the curves and levels too.

Most of these were taken with an older 4mp point and shoot, but using a SLR now.

Well, mine can't compare to the ones you have all posted here, but I'll give it a try.
Here's the view from my roof:

I love to photograph nature, especially
flowers. Purple Crocus

Magnolia with worker bee

A window of time just opened in Yosemite National Park when nature photographers wait, as if for an eclipse, until the moment when the sun and earth align to create a fleeting phenomenon.

This marvel of celestial configuration happens in a flash at sunset in mid-February — if the winter weather cooperates.

On those days the setting sun illuminates one of the park's lesser-known waterfalls so precisely that it resembles molten lava as it flows over the sheer granite face of the imposing El Capitan

There is a video of the phenomenon at the link.

Here are a few of my shots.



I swear that cloud shaped like a swan was not shopped in.






I don't know if its ok to promote my own work in this thread (or if its smart to promote on a conspiracy site.) I have many more beautiful images and I also run an iphone photography blog. If you want to see more of my work you can PM me.
