The current (and quite probably evolving) policy on NSFW images in the darkroom is that they are allowed. As I said, the policy is likely to evolve, so if you have opinions on the matter please go here to make your voice heard. I want to avoid...
These are from when I was dating a photographer. We decided one day that we wanted to catch the sunset at Sunset Cliffs (about 15 minutes from my house), so we packed our cameras and went on a jaunt. This photojourney begins in the afternoon and...
Please allow me to share with you images from one of my favorite places in the world. Crane's Beach is a several-mile-long stretch of beaches backed by sand dunes on the coast north of Boston, specifically Cape Ann. It is under the stewardship of...
These are taken in the Anza Borrrego desert, which is in the far southwest corner of the Imperial Valley along the route of the historic Butterfield Stage Line. This has been a good winter for the desert flowers, with enough rain to get the annuals...
It'll be 2 years this July that me and mine moved out to the Island and into our first house. It had to be done. There were no houses in Brooklyn under $500,000. Maybe if we had waited a year and a half. . .. Before we moved, I spent one summer...
OK, so I'm still a little high on my tattoo... Hows about yours?
The DoMeBo Photography Class Why pay for a photography class when you can get it here for free? So far we’ve used the new-found power of The Dark Room to post fun and silly things. Now we shall use it to teach our point-and-shoot brethren how...
The DoMeBo Photography Class Lesson #3 – “How Big and How Fast?” OK, boys and girls, this will be my feeble attempt to explain exposures, shutter speeds and apertures. If I fail to get the point across (and I just know I’ll fail to get the point...
I like "finding" photos better than arranging them. Go for a walk in the park or whatever---there may be some pictures out there. You choose how to frame, expose, etc., but the elements were in place. Sometimes you have to be surreptitious about...
I'll add to this as I find more of my old pictures. Anyone else having aerial mapping equipment pictures, and knowledge, feel free to add to the thread. \

I have spent the past few days making panoramas from some of my photos from India. They were always meant to be stitched together, but I never had any software that would do it properly. Until I found Hugin - a wonderful free program that gives you...
Found this page. Interesting stuff. They had fun and it shows another way to get fun pictures. Enjoy
http://picasaweb.google.com/Dragon43/ThursdayRide It is a Picasa album and the pictures are under 150K and so should be suitable for good dial-up...
It's time to share photos that mean Springtime! For me, a Crazy Cat Lady, there's this image from an annual rite of spring: On Friday -- oh joy, oh bliss!! -- The First Open Window Of Spring evoked excitement among the felines as they jostled...
I sort of wanted to post this in the nature picture thread, but it wasn't really nature because it was right outside our house. But it's a picture that I really love just because the opportunity to capture a squirrel in the act of raiding a bird...
I'm working on taking better pictures, so I snapped a bunch of practice shots tonight to try to capture some images and light that looked interesting to me, and I thought I'd share them with you. Feel free to enjoy, critique, or post your own shots....
I've joined an aviation Meetup group, and today was the third meeting. Turned out to be me, the founder, and his little daughter. Anyway, I snapped this photo of them in front of an old Beechcraft B-50 Twin Bonanza.

Here's a deal. Olympus E520 with two lenses (equivalent to 28mm-300mm on 35mm format) for $550. From what I've read the two kit lenses are really good. Having priced Canon DSLRs I have to say this looks attractive. It's a larger sensor than my...
I think I saved 90% of them, but some people changed back and some people changed theirs, so if you have a couple, post it! - mine, made to look more like me, with silver hair, pointy ears, and stripes. - MsPurlMcKnittington's - rasa and...
So my wife and I took our kids mushroom hunting at Brown County State Park. I took a couple of pictures today but plan to take more later. The pictures are clickable thumbnails due to size. We found plenty of Umbrella Plants, or May Apples ...
I know some about High Dynamic Range Imaging but have yet to make a decent image using photoshop. I did find a while back this website: http://www.createhdr.com/ and played around with it here and there. It really did have some good results. ...
I was looking at a photo collection and this one shouted "Love". Choose an emotion or feeling and post a photo.
I used photobucket's "distort" tool to disguise these three pictures. I stretched one, I compressed one and I twirled one. Can you figure out what they are?
So I was looking through my RSS reader and went to one of those 10 best of everything sites and found this page. The qtpfsgui website has a good overview of HDR imaging. The software doesn't have a lot of documentation or help files, but trial and...
I had some running to do. Took the camera. Took the Blue Kawasaki and went to town. Just sat back and followed the big rigs. Navigation channel had dropped a few feet.
The DoMeBo Photography Class Lesson #4 – “Picture Framing” This lesson is about composing your photographs. Good composition is the most important you can learn to take better photographs. If you’re not participating in the rest of the class...
I just recently found a camera in the back of a box of stuff I never even unpacked in my attic from the last time I moved.. It had a camera in it with a "Develop Before 12/05" date written on it. I don't care too much about picture quality, I'd...

Spring tea on it's journey.

We have a young female coming in today several times. She seems pretty calm about us and the kitties. I hope this is shades of things to come this year.... :D
The DoMeBo Photography Class Lesson #2 – “A Photographic History” The delay in getting to this lesson was much longer than I expected, and I apologize for my absence in the many weeks since the previous lesson was pretty much finished. This will...
I've been dying to show this baby off ever since I got her. This is EmmaLee: (Sorry I had to turn the pic to fit posting guidelines.) And a close up of those dangerous curves:
Her. All tarted up like JonBenet Ramsey on ugly. On a box of ice cream bars. Who the hell thought this was a good idea? Who thought this would make people want to eat ice cream? And the thing is, Blue Bell is a high-end brand! :???: ...

One of my more innocuous hobbies is taking photos, particularly of buildings. (They are much easier to take pictures of than people, because they never complain and rarely move when you take their picture). Here are few of mine, from four...
Every once in a while, someone or something comes into your life and gives you heart a little lift. After crashing into a bedroom window followed by a near miss on the ground with Jack (my cat), this little fella spent an hour sitting in my hand...
Mothman!
Not sure if this really is at home here, by all means shift it to a more appropriate venue. I watched a program on the Beeb last night on Annie Leibovitz and was seriously impressed. Excellent program, although too short, and a fascinating woman...
Most everybody who has them enjoys showing them off, so post your wedding photos here! We just went to the courthouse, so I didn't have a bunch of photos taken but we did get a few in the park before the ceremony. Yes, I got married in orange. ...
I’m setting up this thread for random photography Q&A, reviews of cameras, posting of resources, and similar stuff. Questions posted in lesson threads will still be answered. This is mostly for very-off-topic subjects. This is also a good place...
When the kitties come in..... Food in the pump house... check. Food on the front porch.... check. Food in the hall of house.. check. Food is all the same with wet food and special food and people food and juice food in the hall. So, in the...
Or your grandkids, nieces/nephews...whoever you've got who is cute as a button! I have a kitty, but she's too old & cranky to pose for cute photos, so I've got nothing to post in the kitty thread. So, here are my other little monsters: From...
This is an old picture of my mother and her twin sister. This was taken soon after they graduated from college and went to work as programmers at a Very Famous American Computer Company. The year would have been 1960 or thereabouts. Women...
