BasqueStorm: Thanks! Cool to see your glacier photos again, looks really cool!

A few more from me, taken yesterday:

Pretty awesome! Gotta love the creepy atmosphere.

Yeah! I look like the fucking Gollum! LOL!

The old server went down and I have to upload LOTS of photos again.
As always, nice ones, Forest!
Those remind me of this one:

I'll try to go to the snow tomorrow.

Those are from this last sunday. It was the "Day of Caves" so they made discounts in the tickets for something like 7 caves near where I live. Anyway, I finished going to this little town in which Inquisition was really severe (Zugarramurdi) for a guided tour:

eerie shots forestcorpse, thanks for the videos Basquestorm

^ Very nice! Where is that?

These were taken in New Zealand. The second and third are on the north island and the rest is on the south island. Really awesome places indeed!

Thanks for the comments!

Cool with he videos BasqueStorm!

Great ones youirself mindshadow, looks very similar to my photos, even the place!


Some new ones from my walk today:


















And here some photos from an old abandoned cholera graveyard from the 1800/1900. I was in this area at work a few days ago, and I had some free time....

That cross is pretty cool and metal! The snow is already all gone? Norway isn't kvlt enough

Yeah I imagine it's pretty cool and also metal

Great pictures of the graveyard.

Those graveyard pictures are awesome, do you have more from this place?

My photo's aren't as grim and metal as the amazingly good previous photos, but i was on a sub tropical island in the summer so it was hard.Those creepy and cold looking shots are what i like best and they were hard to find

that wave on the second pic almost looks ridable, BCM! Where were you?

Great barrier island (20 min plane ride from auckland nz ) , and if it was surf you wanted there was plenty of that!





see all those cray pots in that channel, 6 feet of water!!...and i forgot my snorkeling gear

ho shit that looks awesome! Is it crowded/is it consistent??? I think I found the next place I'm going to. That beachie (?) and that reef in the second photo look like a ridiculous amount of fun with no one out! <3

Wouldn't be amazingly consistent, maybe about the same consistency as the Sydney beaches maybe. It's Great barrier island but i couldn't tell ya where exactly otherwise i would be being a bastard. And yeah your pretty much guaranteed to get it to yourself, there is only around 800 residents on the island and...well i couldn't see nobody for miles when i was taking the pics.

Found some mountain pics from a while ago, when on holiday ( I think it was Bognor Regis )

The second one is pretty awesome. You should frame it or something.

fuck yeah, that second one is amazing

Pine trees look really cool over there, where as here they look man made because they're not native.

I was lucky to go there, that shot was taken full auto on a Canon Ixus 60!

one from today, taken locally

Nice shots, people! Keep 'em coming!


Does NOT seem like a great idea to me! LOL!

Ok, we went to dive this last saturday and that's what I took on our way back:

P.S: That's the place:

what camera do yo have, i'm guessing its a shit load better than mine i have a nikkon 18 mega pixel and 26 optical zoom. I'm sure if i took that last shot with my camera the lighting would have fucked it up... though i'm not the best photographer

It's also a Nikkon, entry level dslr (my first), these are the first shots I considered good enough to post as I haven't really got a clue how to set everything yet (don't like using auto).

It wouldn't take photos any better than yours, but like me you probably don't know how to get the most out of it yet.
I've often wondered what forestcorpse uses, probably a Canon 7d with all the money he has for vinyl!
Though you don't need to spend mega bucks, look at the fantastic shots Byrain and Basquestorm take.

I'm currently using a Canon Ixus 240 HS (and those last shot where taken in the boat using the Go Pro HD Hero 2) but my shots are NOT nice! LOL! It's almost imposible to take shitty shots with those sceneries! LOL!
Mindshadow, this last shot makes me remember some woods I used to ride with my motorbike. Fuck, I miss that fucker!
viewtopic.php?p=2033684#p2033684

Yeah i still have a lot of fiddling around to do, i don't like to use auto either. One day i will have some impressive photo's maybe even this winter. At the moment all my photo's look more suitable for a fucking Rastafarian reggae forum.

also i don't know who edits there photos on here (well some are just plain obvious) but i never edit my photos, if it's a really good shot it shouldn't need it

reminds me of the photo of Aran(?) from Lunar Aurora stood on a path (the snow bit)



I sometimes crop, but adding effects and colours normally always looks false, I guess sometimes you may need to lighten a dark photo, knowing how to use photoshop would be an advantage though.

Shooting to RAW files means there is no way around adjusting contrast etc. when refining the data. Don't know if that counts as editing though.

i know how to use the basic stuff on it. I have a mate who does the photo's for a local surfing magazine, he reckons editing is all part of the art

I don't cause I don't know how to do it AND cause I'm TOO lazy! LOL!


This one?



Didn't know about that.

well actually yeah, that's probably the main reason


bet you dont know where that is dreadmeat

^ As close as you'll get to paradise. That second one



Ditto, and yes


couple of black n whites, second one cropped

Peziza vesiculosa

I want to know what the fishing is like here. Simply stunning

Some of the best in the world, i only managed a quick cast out off the shallow beach in front of our batch. Still managed 3 big ky and a small snap

Though there is endless amounts of amazing rock ledges and beaches, the whole island is basically untouched. Just as i was about to jump on the car fairy back home we got offered some snapper, one was about 12kg !!

Damn that's awesome. Hehe batch, I'm guessing only another kiwi is familiar with that term... what the heck is a ky by the way

Here is some photos from the beach/coast not 500m from the batch we rented near Dunedin (Longbeach/Purakanui Inlet) in NZ.















Damn I want to try my hand at fishing this place (and NZ as a whole).

fuck that's nice and looks good for a fish! id haven't been to Dunedin yet, but have heard good things about the coast around there, and the rivers have salmon.
Sorry ky is just short for "kahawai" or sea salmon.

This was taken about a mile away from my house. I was just going on my daily (well, I don't go on walks every day but usually) walk and got it in my head that the grey sky and fog would make a nice picture.

Drove way up past the arctic circle here in Alaska a couple weekends ago. Several hundred miles straight north from Fairbanks through pure wilderness, broken only by a single truck stop and a historic mining town where only about a dozen people live. Not something people do very often in winter, so I figure I'll share some shots.


On the south side of the mountains, where there are still trees.




Wiseman, AK. One of my favorite inhabited ghost towns.


Climbing over the Brooks Range.


On the north side of the mountains - no more trees.


Top of the pass. Avalanches..


Best aurora viewing in North America is in the upper Koyokuk River Valley.
