Photograph and Camera talk

“The flames sawed in the wind and the embers paled and deepened and paled and deepened like the bloodbeat of some living thing eviscerate upon the ground before them and they watched the fire which does contain within it something of men themselves inasmuch as they are less without it and are divided from their origins and are exiles. For each fire is all fires, and the first fire and the last ever to be.“

Great stuff across the board team. Love the coals and McCarthy prose.

Moon last night over Sea Isle City NJ. Took about 100 shots to get, had to really mess with settings, especially turning shutter speed waaay down. Had to keep super still (I was on a wooden balcony to boot), I now see the use of having a tripod. But, it feels good to really capture something. Used the 18-200 zoom lens.

^fantastic shot man!

Really cool shot. Sometimes you have to try to become the tripod. If you can lean up against something.

[tvenuto]

Thanks fellas (and ladies).

Another sunrise shot. Picture posted up looking crappy,so I deleted it.

Couple of pics from my walk to ASDA… Living the dream!

[Jett129]

I’m a big fan of reflective photography,I’m also a big fan of your photography. So where or what is ASDA?

ASDA is a crappy British supermarket.

I mentioned to Sam in an email recently that I  very much enjoy the creative motifs and humour in his pictures as well as his technical skill.

[Jett129]

Well then the photography is way better than the supermarket,and he should walk there with his camera more often.

Asda is the English Walgreens @Jett129

Sunrise this morning. Sky really looked like that.

^ Great image ^

[Sam]

Really nice @Jett129 and thank you! I think ASDA is actually the English Walmart. They have better deals (so my girlfriend says)

I find it hard to take the credit for my technical ability when I took the picture on an iPhone but I still appreciate it @neph93

[Alex]

Yes, Walmart. I got them mixed up. Thanks sam

West Wales is mostly this in every direction. Nice if you like that kind of thing but awful for young people.

[Jett129]

@Sam You tend to be pretty modest about your photographic skills,but a couple of things have to happen in order for us to see those pictures. You see the reflections,the training kicks in,you take out your phone,compose the shot,and if you hadn’t told me I never would’ve known that it was a phone picture. Most people can’t do it. As far as Walmart or Walgreens go,I wouldn’ Know the difference,but I’m sure my wife would be able to tell me.
