Photography​

Hi, any others interested in photography..?

 

[Maddison Dwyer]

@SX2002 I am! I absolutely love it. We took the film camera out yesterday in the warm weather and got a few photographs! Very excited to get them developed when we can. We both really love the look of film photos. What device do you use to take photos?

It's something I've always wanted to get more into, but never managed to find the time sadly. My step Father has an old film Leica that I think would be perfect.

@SX2002 Why dont you post a few of your pics?

 

[Maddison Dwyer]

Agree with @jonathan, @SX2002 would love to see some photos you have taken

Hi Maddie, I have three main cameras that I use all the time. A D7200, D500 and a Z50. Not into film anymore though. I did a full course on it the year before digital hit the scene...

I've been doing macro photography of insects for the S Museum for a few years now, here are a few European Honey Bees I shot the other day.

I'm also doing the photography for the "City Of Adelaide" clipper ship that we brought out from Scotland back in 2013. It's the oldest clipper ship in the world and the older sister to the Cutty Sark. Mostly, apart from social activities, I'm doing a photographic record of the restoration. I'm also a member of the Sporting Car Club Of South Australia, the second oldest car club in the world. I do photography of certain motor sport events for that as well. I'm also the photographer for our Lifestyle Village. Keeps me off the streets and out of mischief...

I've had to cut back on a lot of things I do due to some pretty bad spinal injuries. Had multiple surgeries and many minor procedures since 1985.
In fact We just got home from the hospital, had more injections into my spine...they never worked before but my neurosurgeon wanted to give them another try.
And the icing on the cake, had a full spine MRI a few weeks ago and they found I also have an enlarged aorta, Had a CT scan on that yesterday. I now get frequent flyer points from the Calvary Adelaide Hospital...LOL

Oh my goodness @SX2002 these are phenomenal! These deserve to be in a museum! I LOVE the bees ones especially, they are just so beautiful close up and I love the way you have captured the eyes!

Thanks Maddie..the aim in any wildlife photography is to make sure you capture the eyes...ditto for people..
Cheers, Ron.

Hi Jon, only a few members so far and we already have some interested in photography. Can/should we have a photograhy section..?

 

[Jonathan Leane]

Wow, these are really impressive... A photography section is a really good idea. What do you think about us using one of these as our pic of the day in the newsletter?

The macro lens photos in particular are great!

 

[SX2002]

That's OK with me Jon...pick whatever you like...

Wow I had no idea! And this image is unlike any other, how incredible are bees eyes!

Before I took that shot, I never knew they had hairy eyeballs...

@SX2002 would you be okay with us using your photographs in our daily newsletter every now and then? We would of course give you the credit you deserve, we just think they are so amazing, that they need to be shared with the rest of the group!

However, we completely understand if you're not comfortable with us sharing them. It is completely up to you.

Look forward to hearing from you!

Thanks,
Maddie.

 

[SX2002]

OK with me Maddie, I already said it would be OK to Jon, see above...
