The post your best pic thread....

blastman · 2 Oct 2008 at 15:12

Since so many people here are good at photography, I thought I'd start this thread for all your best pictures.

Don't hold back!!

Even if you've posted it elsewhere on these forums, slap it in here and lets all be showered in the warm fuzzy feeling you get when you see a truly outstanding photo!

I'll kick things off with this. It was taken at Hatch Pond in the New Forest at about 11pm.

I love the simplicity of it and the fact that for once I've taken a shot thats not soft round the edges!!

I took this with a D40 and a Sigma 105mm. No tripod used, both camera and dandelion held in different hands. Also, the lens is manual focus only (on the D40), so had to sway backwards and forwards. I also had to blow on the dandelion to allow the little fella to lift off. So lots of juggling, but very pleased with the end product.

It was a rare occassion that I did not deviate away from what I had saw in my head.

Took it on the 1st January this year. Still need to get it printed and framed sometime.

blastman · 2 Oct 2008 at 16:29

wow! They really are some fantastic shots guys!!

Personally I think Messiah's is my fav so far!!

reddeathdrinker · 2 Oct 2008 at 16:33

What I like to think of as my best was also one of my earliest... Maybe I'm just trying too hard these days?

peterattheboro · 2 Oct 2008 at 16:39

My best. Also one of my earliest.

My son and missus

Gonna get a print done in A3.

blastman · 2 Oct 2008 at 16:57

^^ Thats a nice shot.

Can we start including the EXIF data as well?? (for us lame IE users)

V-Spec · 2 Oct 2008 at 17:22

I'd say its impossible for me to choose a fave, but I picked this one simply because most people like it, and its a refreshing change from long lens shot.

One of those moments where everything falls into place correctly, and what you've visualised happens right infront of you.

There is a lot of macro shots of mine i like! But i think this one came out best:

Messiah, that photo is truely stunning. Definitely worth getting printed and framed.

Great thread and some amazing photos, people. Looking forward to seeing more.

olv · 2 Oct 2008 at 20:55

Some really superb photos in here. Pretty tough choosing a single 'best' photograph but i've always loved this one.
