The most amazing photographs you have taken yourself....

[chrisga]

It probably has been done before here time and time again, but how about a thread showing what you consider to be the best photograph you have ever taken. Subject can be anything and everything but can we keep it safe for work....

Here is mine to start things off:



Taken at Les Deux Alpes earlier this year using a trusty Canon Powershot G7, we were trying to get down off the top of the mountain as it was blowing a gale and about -18, I turned round to see one of my friends waiting for the others with the snow whipping off the top of the hill. What you cant also really see is that a thin layer of snow was being blown along the floor as well which meant it was like snowboarding on a river of moving snow (thats why its hard to make out the skis on the skier). Very cool/weird!

Cool, perhaps we should add a description to each photo when posting saying where and when taken..... Ive edited my original post....

I've trotted this one out a few times... This is easily my favourite photo, I have it on a 2m canvas on my wall!

This is my favourite because it was almost an accident.

I know it's nothing special compared to what you lot are capable of but I impressed myself with it and it sits as my desktop paper and puts a wee smile on my face when I see it, isn't that what a good photo should do?

I'm starting to look more into post. Here's some "turn everything up high"

Dragonfly - taken in June 2006 in the garden.


Minolta 7D, Sigma 70-300 f4-5.6 + extension tubes. Sunlight.

Cool shots people!

This has to be my favourite. I had really taken to macro when first getting into photography in February 2007. Having been through the whole macro process from +4 filter on the kit lens, reversing ring, 100mm macro, extension tubes, I finally ended up biting the bullet and buying the the MP-E65mm

It's only a fly, but I like it a lot



Shot hand-held with the Canon 40D, Canon MP-E65mm (at around 3:1), and the MT-24EX twin flash.

1600 views on flickr and it made it to explore

Difficult topic. Not sure I have any photos I would consider "amazing". I guess this is one of my favourites, because it came out pretty much exactly as I imagined it and I often struggle to get good colour so I was pretty pleased with it overall.

Great shots guys.

This is a recent one I took, nothing too special but I like it . Presume I don’t need to tell you were it was taken - Liverpool water front.

[gingerpaul]

Great topic. Seeing as we started with a ski photo I'll include my own. I noticed the clouds were looking particularly interesting when I was skiing along and stopped in a reasonable location for a shot. It was taken on my G9. I just wish I noticed I'd slightly over exposed a bit of the sky on the left. Oh well!

[miniman]

Although... I do also like this one quite a bit. One of my first 10-20 shots.

Abbeyhill, Edinburgh. About 2 minutes from my old flat.

[curtisl]

Not my most technically brilliant shot but really like it

I had a feeling that would make an appearance. Always liked that shot.

[Tycho]

One of my faves.

[DIW35]

Not sure it's actually the best I've ever taken, but it's one of my top 10.

[...Mole...]

not the best but its probably my personal favorite.
