Thought about sharing my gallery - nothing too fancy but well, it's the world I see. Topics tend to change quite often...so yeah, it's a bit of everyting. I used to post them to the Infield only but sharing them with more people isn't feeling awkward anymore, I think.

All of them are also available on my flickr site.:)

It is about time you made a thread here. Just sayin'

And those firework shots are fantastic.
 
Good to see them on their own all in one place, they're really good mate. I agree the firework shots are spot on and the stairwell stands out for me too.
 
Another one taken a few days ago - I haven't had the best spot but well...with around 900.000 people in between Trocadero, Eiffel Tower and the Ecole Militaire...haven't had a choice. I like the movement of the people, tho.

 
I actually really like that, it has a more moody feel to it than just a standard photo. Ialso love the 'Stairway to Heaven' shot, it's very well composed.
 
Great to see you have a thread here, hope your panning is coming along nicely. :)

Some epic shots here, as Mog said the most recent shot is actually really cool. The movement of people just helps to give it a more atmospheric look, was it handheld or tripod? I can't tell.

Great work. 👍
 
Thanks guys - it wasn't handheld but people kept running around in front of my tripod. I was really angry when I was there, actually...yet, everything went better than expected.

I guess finding a really good spot in between 900.000 people wasn't as easy as I thought. :)

Went to a leaving do today. Most stuff is private but two shots might be worth the post.

Eiffel Tower, once more - ~2.5 second exposure, showing off how many people actually went there. Just imagine that it's like that up to the tower itself...and it's going on like that behind the tower as well. :)

 

Ludicrous speed on Flickr

I have to admit, I was bored quite a bit this morning since my colleague was a bit late to pick me up.

I wanted to blur everything but the direction - it didn't work out completely but I'm still satisfied. It might've been easier with autofocus but well, I wanted to go full manual for this one.

Quake, looks moer like DooM to me? I could be wrong.

Thought so, too. It's part of the ID anthology and was labeled as "Quake figurine" on the inlay. I don't care much about it, tbh. :D
 
I. MUST. GET. A. NEW. CAMERA.

I'm so angry. I have this Canon piece of crap that can't take any photos.

I want a GoPro, and a legitimate DSLR not some stupid low end digital camera. The problem is, why the hell are cameras so damn expensive. FFFFFFFUUU...

Well, a D5100 is around 600-800€ (bought it on release day, so really don't know the current street price) over here. Can't be that much more in Canada, I guess? However, yes, that's still pretty expensive if you're not using it every week. :/
 
Some great photos in this thread 👍
I like these last 2 and the colourful details of the flowers.... and the booze :D
 
Really reeeeaally nice pics, daym.
 
Show me more of Paris!! Very nice shots!
 
Not exactly related to Paris but the sun was shining just yesterday. The skate park...well, it's been shot a few weeks ago. Also picked up my new cat (making it a pack of 2) a few days ago. :)

Y'know Mr.S, I don't think you get enough credit for some of these photos you've taken. I thoroughly enjoy looking at every new installment, despite not posting. Keep up the good work. 👍
 
Mr. S
Thanks mate. 👍

So, Carlos - there you go. All of them were shot using my old camera, some years ago (the date on flickr isn't entirely correct). :)

Amazing shots! Thanks for sharing! Show me more of those :D
