The coolest picture you have ever taken.

Sorry, image upload didn't work.

[ViRaL1]

Your pic won't work because you put too much info between the image tags. You don't need the c:\.

Just put photo.jpg between the img tags.

[curlyween]

Thanks guys, I've worked it out now (first time posting image...duh):

[thecoalman]

coalman, it's blurry. Sorry, man, not impressed.

Cheap point and shoot camera and I'm not a photographer.

Here's a few more:

Angel's Window, North Rim Grand Canyon, that's the Colorado in the window.




From Atop the St. Louis Arch:




My tent near the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, Colorado. This one almost looks like it has one of those fake backgrounds.

I've already posted this photo (thanks, lordsmurf) in the pets thread, but it's my best work.

@lordsmurf
Before you tear me a new one, please note that I used a P.O.S. Vivicam 10 digital ($40 @ Wal-Mart, .31 Megapixel, Resolution 640 x 480)

If I had the proper model releases ... I have something you'd REALLY like.
I actually need to mend some fences with those models, I think they're pissed off at me, and for good reason.
If I can get the release, you'll be able to see some awesome images.


@ Shocker Milwaukee, I like the kitty.
@ Cap, I like the Egyptain alley shot too. Very nice.

@ all
Point-n-shoot cameras do not take away from the photographer. I've taken many good shots on crappy throw-aways, mainly when sneaking a camera into a no-camera zone! Not having photo experience does show, and is what kills most people. However, much like video, photo can be learned (to a point, natural skill does play a part). Like many others, I also suggest the National Geographic Society's Field Guide to Photography if you want to learn more about photo.



Here's one for you capmaster (hint: close to home for you!)

Constructive Critisism?
I know. I'm not great.

Also, all of these. Copyrighted by Me. Please don't use them.

[Conquest10]

Damn, those are huge. Ryan_by_nep2111.jpg looks nice. What'd you do to it?
Cap, that alley shot is real nice. You got a large print of that hanging on your wall?

[DivXExpert]

Ryan, that was done with my 35mm SLR, it was so quick, I don't even remember the settings. It was ISO 200 film I believe.
You think those are big. The raw scans are HUGE.

[Conquest10]

The shot of the cork is around what size they should be max. I'm on 1024x768 and they are way off screen.

[vitualis]

I like "Ryan_by_nep2111.jpg" as well, but it would probably benefit from cropping the right side of the photo.

If you are a film shooter but you are interested in digitising your film, I highly recommend getting a film scanner... and buying a specialist noise reduction program like Neat Image.

I've recently bought a Minolta Dimage DualScan III (amateur class film scanner but quite reasonable) and the images I get out of some old film is immensely superior to the prints from the minilab. For consumer grade film, grain is your enemy but you can vastly improve the raw scan with a program like Neat Image.

Regards.

[lordsmurf]

How does Neat Image stack up against Q-Image or Bibble? Or Photoshop for that matter?

For all those big images, remember this: Tilting the camera means the image is lopsided. Rarely is that an acceptable effect.

[vitualis]

Can't say I know much about Q-Image or Bibble. However, you can't really compare it to Photoshop... as it doesn't do the same thing.

NeatImage is a specialised noise reduction program and if you buy the right (i.e., expensive) version, it comes WITH a Photoshop plug-in. You can demo a free version of NeatImage which does most things (but only allows you to save as JPEG).

All I can say is that NeatImage is absolutely amazing when it comes to noise reduction... from both digital cameras and film. It actually makes high ISO settings on P&S digicams usable -- it has the ability to remove the majority of the noise without really affecting the detail in the image. Create profiles with the digital camera, and it makes for extremely efficient workflow too.

I can't recommend it enough. If you are willing to create a profile for NeatImage, they even give you a license for free! (that's how I got my version).

Regards.

Here's one for you capmaster (hint: close to home for you!)

About 200 miles or so to the south. It's really strange walking through something your eyes swear is snow, and your feet get hot There have been so many hollywood film crews that have used White Sands as a backdrop for various movies, some might even have permanent offices in Alamogordo
