This one. By a very long way.
 
Its a nice pic from an interesting perspective but i dont see how its amazing and cool.

Maybe its just me
 
It's different, that's for sure.
 
I find macro photography pretty amazing so keep up the cool posts TS 👍 Speaking of which, my sister accidentally had her camera on a macro setting when trying to take a shot of the ocean from the Isle of Capri a few months ago, I thought her shot ended up pretty amazing:

Indeed... that's an amazing coloring too.

The guys at Smashing Magazine put together a bunch of amazing Macro photographs, which is where I got that one. Here's the rest.
 
One-upping Delirious' post of the Luxor hotel, here's one of mine from earlier this month. The Luxor at night. I should have gone to the front and got the Sphinx statue along with the hotel.

That reminds me, i just came back from Transformers 2, and it was, great. Better than the first.

Very on topic, man. Congrats! 👍
 
Yea thanks, I try :lol:
 
The first 7 didn't put a year of birth, so it leaves it blank...

Holy crap! People can do that?! :dunce:

I belive the correct answer is they have their birthday hidden, so it wont show the age, but will show the actual day.

You need a birthdate to register
 
Has anyone got any large pictures of the supercars in Abu Dhabi from Top Gear yesterday? Particularly the Mclaren and Bugatti racing together. That would be insanely awesome and cool :D

That’s better D, This is a cool PHOTO thread not the cool Photography thread. While your shoes photo was a well taken shot, the content wasn’t amazing to say the least.
 
the thread title needs to be revised then... it was a cool picture, though not a picture of cool stuff.
 
No, not really. It's not that difficult to look at a few pages of this thread to see what we are trying to accomplish. Now if those shoes were being shot out of a cannon and into something that might explode or break, now that would make a pair of shoes cool AND amazing.
 
We don't have, and can't have, hard and fast rules over what constitutes an amazing or cool picture so, basically, if someone thinks it's cool, then it is cool, and can be posted here.
 
Wait, those were shoes?
 
I completely understand what you are saying. I don’t want this to turn into a general photography thread. That's all I'm asking.
 
So what you're saying is that you want picture of cool and amazing things, but not necessarily cool and/or amazing photographs?
 
I contribute quite a lot to this thread and I like to keep a good balance of both, although a good photograph will sell its subject far better than an interesting object poorly shot. I've come across tons of the latter, and normally search Flickr for the same subject for a better interpretation of it. The first shots that come to mind of that sweet balance of medium and message are the fast-action parrot shoot and the wave photographs I put up recently.

Here's a good example of more of that balance:

(...) a good photograph will sell its subject far better than an interesting object poorly shot.

I totally agree with that. 👍

Come on D, are you just trying to stir the pot or do I need to keep explaining this to you?
 
Take it to PM, guys. Thanks. [/mod]

A little of both :sly:

Just further clarifying it, but alright.

er... Come on B, are you just trying to stir the pot or do I need to keep explaining this to you?
 
Here's a good example of more of that balance:

What makes that photography cool is that it captures a moment in time that is one of a kind and could never be replicated exactly that way again.
 
Coolest. Resume. Ever!

And in case it doesn't meet the expectation of some, here is a completely different but cool photo:

^^ That's pretty cool if it's genuine. Like a pair of eyes watching us. 👍
